I am sorry. I went to a little rant, but I meant it rather funny even though I realize it feels aggressive 🤣.
- Comment on When "Everything" Becomes Too Much: The npm Package Chaos of 2024 - Socket 9 months ago:
Isn’t this a problem with every package/library system? Is there really a solution to this that doesn’t limit packages on their dependencies?
- Comment on When "Everything" Becomes Too Much: The npm Package Chaos of 2024 - Socket 9 months ago:
Node packaging is fucked. Node packaging remains fucked.
I am sorry, but as a noobie user of npm I don’t understand. It works pretty well for me if you use it normally for what it is supposed for.
- Comment on This Windows tool makes it super easy to debloat and cut down ads on your Android TV 9 months ago:
You can with some tinkering. You can uninstall the default launcher with ADB shell and some Android TV show select launcher options when more than 1 is installed.
- Comment on Music Piracy Is Back, Baby 9 months ago:
It’s very fine unless you decide you just must and have to convert that audio to MP3 (the audio loses quality with every lossy compression), because you are an old boomer and other formats scare you even though almost all modern device can play OPUS or at least M4A or you are one of those people who call themselves “Audiophiles” to feel more special, but wouldn’t recognize a shit if I played OPUS at 192kbps on their 2000$ home audio setup instead of the uncompressed FLAC that has over 50MB in size each. I have most of my library from YT Music which is ~128kbps OPUS and it has been transparents on all audio devices I have played it till now.

That’s how one spends time with his kids!
- Comment on YouTube is slowing down for users with ad blockers in new wave 10 months ago:
Some probably use an API of some sort, because SmartTube for Android TV even synchronises your watch history, subscriptions, you login with your google account etc…

I use AdAway on ms rooted phone. Honestly there are plenty ways to filter ads out on most devices unless you have an iPhone.

I had to Wait a little fór thé while article to load.
- Comment on HTML First 1 year ago:
Where possible, maintain the right-click-view-source affordance. The beauty of the early web was that it was always possible to “peek behind the curtains”
Just make the source code availible behind a link. I don’t see this being the problem by any means.

sends requests to websites that can identify you
What requests. I though that only information that the browser gives to website regarding dark theme is that your

The video is based in mentioned sources. I don’t see a reason why the video shouldn’t be credible just because it’s from LTT.

Android 13 and later.

Ouch! Thank you for noting.
- Comment on Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why? 1 year ago:
And also FOSS is just cool. That’s just a cherry on top.
- Comment on Which software do you mostly use for programming, and why? 1 year ago:
You can download any visual studio code extension from the visual studio extensions marketplace as far as my experience goes. There’s a “download extension” link for every extension which will give you a
*.vsixfile. Only pity is that you won’t get any automatic updates for the extension. - Comment on Critical vulnerability in WebP Codec has browser vendors scrambling for updates 1 year ago:
Is this really the fault of the format or the fact that it just isn’t that much well supported?
- Comment on iPhone 15's USB-C Port Remains Limited to Lightning Speeds 1 year ago:
For easy fast sharing over local LAN there are services like pairdrop.net which are far from hard to use.
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 1 year ago:
For privacy on iOS, I recommend watching [this video] (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHnBOUNxHsw). You can get more privacy on Android with some tweaking (custom ROMs, AdAway, uninstalling pre-installed bloatware). There are several ways to get a little more privacy, some easier than others. I know most people won’t even try. On the other hand, with iOS, you’re handing your privacy over to Apple in good faith, but you have far fewer options to take things into your own hands. People want privacy out of the box, but that often clashes with companies’ interest in making as much money as possible. Some companies use privacy as a selling point in their marketing campaign, but often it is just false advertising.
- Comment on VSCodium - Open Source Binaries of VSCode 1 year ago:
AFAIK you can download every extension as vsix file from vs code web marketplace.
- Comment on The best decision YouTube ever did. 1 year ago:
You won’t get video recommendations on your home feed (and maybe also other parts of youtube) if you have watch history disabled in your google account settings (you request google not to save your watch history).
