igi3ql··on PHP 8 to Add a JIT
I use uBlock Origin and its :style() feature to remove and modify parts of websites that I don't like.

I don't block user comments on PHP doc pages out of spite, I do it because they are very long, making it harder to scroll vertically on the actual documentation.

igi3ql··on Taiwan to block Tencent and Baidu streaming sites on security risk
Taiwan blocking Chinese websites? Good.

China blocking Western websites? Bad.

igi3ql··on PHP 8 to Add a JIT
I haven't found PHP documentation to be better or worse than the documentation of other languages I've used.

What I dislike about it is the comments that every page includes. Most of them are very poorly written snippets of code from 15 years ago.

If you dislike those comments too, consider adding this to your ad blocker:

Unemployment of the youth in Spain is at >33% now.
igi3ql··on On Being a Free Software Maintainer
You need a thick skin to maintain free software, and that's not something that you can grow... either you have it or not. It's not for everybody.

The biggest mistake some software maintainers make is showing empathy for abusive and unreasonable users. Most of them simply deserve to have the door slammed in their faces. If you can't do that, then you'll lose your time and stress yourself.

igi3ql··on Sony to slash smartphone workforce
Pretty broad brush for what is a company with dozens of departments.
igi3ql··on Disclosing a directory traversal vulnerability in Kubernetes copy
Did they start counting with 1000000, or do we really have a million bugs security bugs in 2019 already?
igi3ql··on The connection between gender, gentrification, and household size
It's pretty simple incel theory, really. (Despite the negative connotations of the word "incel", I'm actually supporting your comment.)
