I do the same (both here and YT). I stay away from algorithmic anything. If something is too high volume to avoid it, I'd rather avoid that something.

And critique of the work is expected when the quality of the work is the question. But all the problems here are about conduct, which doesn't seem to get through.

Hit that "For you" at the top and select the "Following" feed. Only the posts from the people you follow, no suggested posts, no ads.

Since it's talking about the defaults, I'm reading it to mean that there are many unnecessary features that you can remove by tweaking the configuration.

The account I support that regularly posts videos uses Patreon's own video service still. It seems to work pretty good?

I would be more than happy if threading was completely removed from the app

I did the same thing. I didn't have internet back then, so I assume I also got the knowledge to do this from magazines. Also, lots of time on my hand back then, so probably dove deep into various weird manuals.

Many physical bookstores have web pages where they sell e-books as well. Find the store that serves what you want, instead of finding faults with the ones who don't and going with the huge sell-everything-store.

This is not the only company servicing this route, this is a new company added to this route a few years ago, and the older company are still allowing electric cars according to the linked origin article at NRK. The route is also not a local one, running along most of the coast of the whole country, between the very north and pretty far south, so I don't really know if there is that much traffic only travelling a stop or two. Definitely a bunch of tourist traffic though.

They didn't say that? They directly replied to the claim that once you tried WFH you would never go back. Sounds like they were directly affected by it, and had a different experience.

>you'd have to jump to the beginning or the end of the line first, then hit Ctrl-k.

This is not correct, ctrl+k works anywhere on the line?

Instead of tricking the syntax, I just check in the command. I have a cron entry set up to run every Monday, but I limit it to the start of the month with: [ $(date +\%d) -le 07 ] && <actual command>

u s b knuck el (kinda like nickel, but specifically pronouncing the e before the l, and obviously the ø is a different sound than the i).

Fixed hours work for me. Obviously it helps with keeping up with colleagues, but it also somewhat automatically puts me in "work mode" when the clock is there. Being "regular" also helps with goodwill from the employer when I now and then need/want to take extreme advantage of the flexible hours.

BusyBox is a compatible re-implementation though, you can switch back and forth as much as you like.

> Search marks matches in the scroll bar.

That's an interesting feature, I'd like it if that was implemented. I see some add-ons do something to simulate this.

> Opening a recently closed tab opens a new tab in Chrome instead of replacing the existing one.

This opens a new tab for me, no settings I've changed that I could find.

> There were probably 5-10 more annoyances in Firefox for me that I don't recall right now. Maybe it was my familiarity with Chrome but overall I still think Chrome has better UX defaults.

There will probably always be differences, that's why different browsers exist after all, and it'll be different annoyances for different people. Personally I think generally the UX of Chrome (that Firefox has tried to copy) is the worst thing about all current browsers. The new add-on API made me start using custom UX CSS to make it tolerable instead of a "fix add-on", but the only serious alternative (Chrome) always felt worse to me. Has many nifty features though.

Seconding this. After moving to PocketCasts, keeping up with the podcasts I'm interested in became easier than ever.

Even that seems way too much. The original would be much easier as:

  if (nullableVariable != null) {
      boolean success = nullableVariable.someMethodCall()
      if (success) {
          return success;
      }
  }
  return fallbackIfNullMethodCall();

And even that can be more concise if you prefer:

  if (nullableVariable != null && nullableVariable.someMethodCall()) {
      return true;
  }
  return fallbackIfNullMethodCall();

You can still do that of course, with the same file that you would offer your friends through your "web property". A file is still a file.

I'm sure those who build it themselves could have enabled this in earlier versions already, and I assume this means the pre-built binaries now enable this.

Probably nothing new here, but giving some attention to what has been for many years the best Beefheart resource online seems fine.

Shuffle? I've never encountered forced shuffle on my free account. Is this some kind of 'the mobile version is worse' thing?

Yup, The Children of Hurin is an extended telling of the story from The Silmarillion. They're basically the same, but I enjoyed the longer read.

> ALSA sound (which they also disabled)

Not sure what happened here, but on gentoo I still have sound in firefox 57 without having installed either pulseaudio or the apulse shim. Probably some patching by the gentoo devs, but I was ready to install at least the shim, and maybe even pulse itself to get sound, but so far it has not been necessary.

It's OK to remake a classic game when you've managed to come up with a title for it that is NOT exactly the same as the old one.

For Classic Theme Restorer withdrawal, try custom userChrome.css code.

I also lost my window, but it was in the "recently closed windows" menu, so no big deal. Most of the (all?) changes that you got with Classic Theme Restorer can still be accomplished with userChrome.css. Check this[1] github repo for the quickest way to set it back up the way you like it.

I would imagine replacing the simpler editors, like nano.

Still wrong on boostnote.io :)
