  • Yep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.

    I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.

    That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand… but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.






  • Have been running my main box off the same USB for a couple of years without issue. Decided to not boot again after restarting today… wouldn’t even show up on another machine.

    I’ve never had one fail on me so it was a new experience. Didn’t like having to log my box into lime-tech but it seems it was required. At least the license exchange went someone easily and then it decided it had to do a parity check so I’m offline for even longer. Thankfully I had a backup of the USB from only a few days prior… good lesson right here!
