I miss the days of uncensored content on Reddit. This is what drew me to using it in the first place. Nowadays it's the place I get my porn fix from sometimes.

There's Chromium (ungoogled Chrome, or rather the other way around I think?) and Chromium-based forks. E.g. Brave is pretty good.

throwmeback··on Lombok makes Java cool again
I recall my limited time with Ruby and Rails being the really frustrating, seconded probably only by Tornado (either misleading error messages or no error messages whatsoever, requiring me to get dirty with the debugger for the most minor of things).

RubyMine had no idea about more than half of the Ruby code being written in the project. I couldn't grasp the concept of symbols in Ruby reliably enough. E.g. methods used either symbols or strings - I couldn't discern a pattern for which to be used when. This was the magic part of it - things seemed to work seamlessly but when they wouldn't, I had no idea where should I even begin to look.

Also every file had to be annotated for the strings to be treated as immutable. No ways to set it globally, project-wide.

It felt like a mess. On the plus side, there were gems.

throwmeback··on Google isn’t the company that we should have handed the Web over to
lol'd at FB customer support. sometime in late 2017 someone with a Pakistan IP has somehow made 2 pages about flowers on my FB account, created an ad account and ran 2 ad campaigns on them.

weirdly enough they paid for the first campaign, but removed their card details afterwards.

FB nags me on my wall to update my credit card info for a failed payment of ~20$, a year after I wrote two emails to them explaining the situation.
