Why do people hate change? Because of BLOAT. No one gives a shit about your fucking react or electron or node bloat bullshit, give me a fucking simple site like lazyfoo.net this whole Web 2.0 is so fucked up and inaccessible to people in 3rd world countries or even just pla es where connectivity is bad. People care about looks, aesthetic, style. It's all form over function nowadays. nearly 2 decades ago, Windows XP used less than a 100MB RAM and was initially buggy shit. Back then, the SP updates FIXED issues; they didn't CREATE them. I want to go back
Why do Windoze users have a fetish for Universal/Modern UI? Wastes half the damn screen with enormously oversized buttons and elements. A computer is a device you use a mouse and keyboard with, don't try WI dows 8(.x)-style bullshit lol if you REALLY want those batshit insanely huge buttons for your tablet or something , just have separate touch-friendly version (like Office 2013 had a touch/kbd+m switchable version)
Hi everyone, would you mind avoiding using any sites articles from New York Times? They require a subscription after a certain amount of views. Sure, journalism isn't charity work (news editors and journalists need food on the table, too, you know?), but all other sites have advertisements. I leave advertisements enabled on sites that don't block you out. If you use an article from NYT, would you mind including another link to a mirror article?
I am a paying subscriber for the New York Times . If you can afford it and you find yourself running over the amount of views, you should consider subscribing as well. Actual journalism (as opposed to only recycling news and posting opinions ) as done by nytimes, wpost, wsj, New Yorker etc. is an expensive enterprise, but one that is hugely important to our society. (This particular article however is of course not an example of actual journalism and probably not worth the click)
Many public library systems give their patrons free access to the NYT. I was able to set this up with mine (San Mateo County Library system) in about 5 minutes from home. Another commenter mentioned incognito windows, but my understanding is that the NYT has started blocking this avenue.
Another alternative is to read via Pocket (I know, not everyone likes them), which appears to give unlimited access. Just save articles to your Pocket and open it there!
As if prism and the whole 14eyes thing wasn't enough, now they want to keep tabs on where we're going? And they expect us to "trust them because they have only us citizens' best interests in mind"? I'll pass, thanks. We're headed towards a dystopian future
The modern implementation of reCaptcha is quite possibly the worst plague of the internet. If you're using Tor or any non chrom*-based browser, you're out of luck. Piece of garbage really should have been decommissioned by now.
Exactly, when I'm on firefox with PRF on it won't even allow me to attempt the audio captcha. I don't see how this add-on works for anyone with even the most basic tracking protection.
