Wow, that random news article I hit 16 days ago where the page kept flickering and reloading, but didn't do that when I copied the URL into Brave... I really should've recorded that domain so I could defend myself against some stranger online!

Sarcasm aside, I don't think it's generally the major websites that you bump into this with, however, there are many edge cases that occur for plenty of folks, whether they're in college and have to use that "secure browser" extension that only supports Chrome, or the fact that some websites, especially in business, that simply refuse to support browser and will prevent access otherwise.

I'm a Firefox user, so this isn't to say that Chromium is the way by any means, but hopefully to shine a little light on the fact that we're all on different parts of the web with different experiences, questioning their experiences so that you can hopefully find an extension or something to pin the blame them does not absolve them of their experience, just a show of elitism.

Firefox HAS gotten much better, but unfortunately, Capitalism's gonna Capitalism

Sounds like trading to me

Irony being that if they got together, the "child" would sink further towards the discord server. It's about predisposition now, this kid was always doomed to end up in that pit

While I agree, most people shouldn't have to be concerned with it, you can't deny the resource impacts of various languages, libraries and frameworks, like compare the memory usage of Discord or Teams with those of FOSS chat applications, and you'll notice those two consistently eating much more memory. You can also compare compute speeds of a higher level language like Python vs lower level languages like Rust and you'll find that Rust is quite a bit faster (though generally takes more dev time). So yes, users shouldn't have to be concerned with involved languages, but if you're running something on a low-resource device, such as a Raspberry Pi, those little details can make all the difference.

I love how classic GBA this is, this is amazing

Dude's got a nice deck [shrug]

dark and caustic mood reddit has by default

This is such good wording, each Social Media seems to have its own default mentality behind the reading and writing of its posts, and rarely is it positive.

(“you’re right”) and move forward

This is excellent advice that I'm trying to apply, I'm happy to accept when I'm wrong, but it's exhausting to be berated for participation then it's on me to apologize for having participated and not committed hours to ensuring I've done all of my homework on any given topic, or forbid I misspell a word, the cardinal sin!!

Thank you for your empathy, participation, and words of insight!

Exactly my experience, hahaha, yup, that's all I was thinking of

While I agree Pixel and GrapheneOS rock, it's a hilarious solution contextually. OP was gifted a phone for Christmas, and your solution is to get rid of the gift, assume they have expendable income, and suggest dropping $700 on a new phone so they can immediately void its warranty.

Yeah that's the one, I'm right there with you, I probably put in several hundred hours as a kid, but never bothered to read past the tutorial, so I never made it far in the story. I have to imagine there are some good mods to help folks like us

oooh, I'm going to have to try out nushell, I'm liking the look of that
