Lol, maybe a max-width on body at least, so I don’t lose my line when reading long lines.
It’s said to have narrow lines helps readeability for a reason.Although, I agree, you don’t need much to make a website that is functional.

- Comment on Any suggestions for overcoming addiction to capitalist big tech social media and streaming etc? 4 months ago:
If it were me, I would reflect about what is “vital” to me, like what do I need to live.
In your case, Amazon seems mandatory, don’t change it.
For social media, you don’t need it, unless you have people to contact there, just find a more simple way to interact with them like good old emails, and delete your accounts.
For media, we can live without, but I would say that for me, music is important and I keep spotify over netflix if I had to choose.
Now, you’ve realized the root of the problem, the solution is not so far away ;) - Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 5 months ago:

I am not sure, but I think browsers will block access to third party cookies from javascript. In your example, c.com/script.js will not be able to access b.com cookies. Now, when the browser sends the request to b.com/image.png, browsers will NOT send the cookies associated with b.com when visiting other domains than b.com. BUT, the request might contains a “referer” info set by the browser, hence b.com can still track you. This is something that some browsers block already, but as a web developer, I always see referers in the logs, so it’s either not working, or it is opt-in in the options, and normies don’t change it…

- Comment on Is that $35 Apple Watch real? How misleading TikTok influencer videos could be the next big headache in e-commerce 7 months ago:
The tiktokers are not to blame, the people following them is. If audience were not so dumb, tiktokers would not be a thing to begin with.
Though, the output is the same, it shows off the stupidity of humans as a race.
- Comment on If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be? 7 months ago:
Clojure, can’t stop using it, so fun to use!
- Comment on As a beginner, how should I go about learning difficult concepts? 7 months ago:
Her is my take to try to help you.
If it’s your own code, you can add docstrings comments to your functions, so you don’t have to re-read the function body everytime. Also, name functions to be understandable more easily when possible.
If not your code, write on a piece of paper (not on computer) the in and out of a function, maybe like so:
[1,2,3] -> (sum function) -> 6
Then, you can even connect the functions together and see the whole algorithm:
[1,2,3] -> (sum) -> (multiplyBy2) -> (...) -> final_result
When projects get more complex, paper will not cut it, then some not taking app of some sort will help. (logseq could help, but some mind mapping or sequence diagram programs would help as well)
Also, I don’t know what language your are working with, but learning LISP (maybe clojure) could help.
Why? Because you have to connect your functions together, and it forces you to do so.
At first, it might be harder compared to what you’re used to, but it’ll give you better fundations to keep learing. - Comment on Elon Musk’s Brain Implant Startup Is Ready to Start Surgery 7 months ago:

- Comment on Youtube’s Anti-adblock and uBlock Origin 7 months ago:
well, since the debacle I was thinking: do I really need YT? What if I don’t access it at all, will my life become miserable? Nope, because YT is not something I NEED, just something I WANT. Once we realize that, it’s easy to look elsewhere, or even find something more productive to do.
