Nothing controversial there. That person obviously has no idea what they're talking about, as they've clearly never stepped foot on a construction site where junior engineers work alongside senior ones.

The same goes for other professions.

But that stinks of communism, doesn't it... 😄

Has the same limitations as uBlock Origin with Manifest v3 and won't work in Chrome.

Again Another elitist Linuxer. 🙄

The guy has over 100 million subscribers on YT, and has been hugely popular for 15 years.

Endorsement from such figures could get us closer to the mythical year of Linux. Why shun it...

Exhaustive research was conducted on an impressive sample size of... one single device.

...and the provided details are astounding.

When I ask the same in Perplexity, I get this:

My mentor at my first job was a mid-level dev 10 years younger than me. He was an all-around great and knowledgeable guy. When he'd get asked for an estimate on something without proper details in the ticket, he'd reply that a spike was needed before any kind of estimate, and that's how it would usually proceed.

Sometimes, however, the PM would insist on an immediate estimate. My mentor would then, without hesitation, reply: "8 points" (a full sprint in our company).

"But why that long when you don't know the details?"

"Exactly. Give me a spike to find out, and then it could be less."

None of us other devs contradicted him, junior or senior, because we understood where he was coming from. Needless to say, I learned a lot from him including how not to kill myself so someone else could get a tap on the back.

That's true. 2 years ago, I come by my friend's house for a drink, and his kid is watching cartoons on YT. My friend's been a gamer for +20 years. Spent most of his life around PC. All of a sudden, I hear ads.

What's that? What? What's with the ads? Oh that, that's YT.

I know it is, but what's with the ads? Well, they have ads. I know they do, but why do you have them...

Installed adblocker for him, he's looking at it in shock. I'm looking at him shocked...

People have no idea, what we take for granted. 😅

Let me correct that for you:

iOS 18.2 Finally Forced to Allow Third-Party Browser Web Apps With Custom Engines in EU

P.S. Thanks, Brussels.

But why?

LIBREWOLF

IRONFOX

Whenever people ask about privacy oriented Firefox alternative, firm answer from most of us is Librewolf. However, for some, shiny things are hard to resist.

I'm a developer, and it was a pain picking an instance. You start reading about them, and it turns out one's censored, the other one's communist, third one doesn't cooperate with the other ones so you can't see anything...

As long as it is like this, I don't believe mass adoption is feasible. I would've given up because it takes a lot of time compared to just registering and off you go, but I was interested to see what's all the ruckus after reddit started with censorship. Maybe interesting to mention that I was never an active reddit member (not one post there).

It's more probable people buying cheaper and then installing Windows afterwards - a lot more probable than starting their tech life from scratch.

I completely agree with all the people regarding more "Technology" news, like MIT stacking more transistors onto chips breakthrough.

When I was looking for a tech community to subscribe to, I wasn't expecting this... 🙈

I've no idea how I overlooked Mojeek. I'm always on the lookout for privacy oriented alternatives. Seems they exist since 2004 and don't have any controversies surrounding them.

• UK-based
• no-tracking privacy policy
• independent search index
• first search engine to implement a no-tracking policy in 2006
• operates its own web crawler
• infrastructure in a green data center in the UK
• business model based on advertising, API's and partnerships

Exactly.

Is she wearing high heels every day? Could be bullshit, but could be related. 🙄

For these types of articles where the "info" is actually 1-2 sentences, 90% of the time I'll rather read executive summary like yours.

Thanks! 🍻

Spike's a short period set aside to research a problem before committing to how long it'll take to solve it.
