How is Brave's action wrong? It's the user who needs top enable the feature of "I don't want to consent ever, please ignore such requests".

If this state was the normal, and later they were to stop blocking cookie banners that you explicitly chose to always reject, it would be seen like a huge harrassment from companies to the user.

Maybe the end game is that we managed to realize what practices were beyond acceptable, and finally forbid them via legislation.
90s AOL used to have this repository of artwork images, one of them was a ghost in a church. I always wished I could find it again, I've accepted I never will.
> don't try to find a girl who will make you happy, find the happiness within yourself and then some girl will find that.

Ok, but let's admit it, this doesn't work universally. I know people who become much more happier after finding their partner.

Also, I have one kid, and yes, I am more happy with life after having it.
It sounds like you preferred the social aspect of being in the office. Not everybody does. The movie Office Space really hit on some key points:
A mind-numbing commute, that wastes hours of "your time" that you don't get paid for.
"Corporate Accounts Payable Nina speaking"
Egomaniac of a boss/manager hovering over your shoulder telling you that you are typing wrong, and YOU need to work overtime while he buys a new sports-car.
etc...

There is nothing that will pull me out of 'the zone' quicker then hearing distractions in the office. People talking, laughing, standing in front of your desk talking about shit that has nothing to do with you.

I would often go work IN THE SERVER ROOM, just to get away from the noise and distractions that existed in the office. [Open Office layouts need to be destroyed]

So WFH means I get 2 more hours a day of ME time. I sleep in later.
I have more freedom of WHEN I work. If I get a flash of inspiration to solve a problem at 1am, I can jump in and fix it.

Being able to lean back and ask my co-worker: "Hey Bob, what was thing called in NGinx that we used last week?" is much less formal then trying to articulate in a slack/teams message.

BUT, I hated being interrupted by others asking things like "..what was thing called in NGinx that we used last week?" when I could have just been asked in Teams/Slack.

So to simplify these points;
If you are pro-social: WFO is better
If you are anti-social: WFH is better
Remember first time I tried to generate some hex map for wargames using a computer and realized that no one had printers bigger than A4, they were monochrome and so on... and how hard it was to generate one using just pencil and ruler.
Flights are/were a universally understood, no-questions-asked excuse for someone to be offline. That's the nice thing about them.
Any form of advertising will eventually corrupt the platforms that rely on it to exist. I guess any platform which supports advertising will eventually turn into an advertising platform. Brave essentially is an advertising platform through their brave rewards (however complicated they make this relationship out to be) and likely will at some point start behaving like one.

Even if this does not happen in a reasonable timeframe, it is indeed a question how long it will take before chromium itself is corrupted by the same influences.

I believe that this upenn text doesn't use the 2 variable direct sum operation at all (which is not commutative), but abuses its notation to denote the direct sum of an indexed family. (But then he can't talk about E ∐ F which was his original goal :/)
Great point. I find a theme in this essay of confidence, speaking quickly, and perhaps charisma being associated with intelligence or depth of thought. I've met enough brilliant people (often women) who speak softly, slowly, or without firmness or definiteness. This also varies by culture.
Also, as always when reading advice, think about who's giving it. If you're writing for the masses, decrying fanciful curiosity and promoting narrow studious focus alters that fitness landscape significantly in favour of those who want to control those same masses. You don't want your workers running off to start their own enterprises, after all.
I type way too many periods and hit return too often. Space bar should be bigger.
Just enable the Easylist Cookie List in Ubo, I guess. That's what Brave apparently uses. Surprised this 'news' made the start page.
> I know that "the office" is a bad place for a lot of people.

There's certainly a number of us where 'work from office' (WFO) really means share a vast open plan area with people and all their annoying habits.

That's why I don't want to go back. And that's why others don't want to go back. I believe the whole "I'm an introvert" thing to be mostly false for a lot of people for the reason above.

I don't mind socialising at lunch time, or in the office kitchen. But I'm paid to work, and work is code, and code is thinking. Thinking is done silently and without distraction.

But if employers want me in the office. Give me an actual office.

Where I can close the door and don't have to listen to someone eating at their desk, or some other annoying personal tic.
So now windows has cmd.exe, powershell and windows terminal ?
That's the thing with minimalistic icons I guess. very simple to make something that's already exists
Fair enough. I work mostly with good old desktop applications though, so if there's user data, it's almost always the users data.

For the majority of errors in most applications one can provide some helpful information. But yeah, one need to be a bit careful if one has PII in the mix.

All the 'do this' versions suffer from the same problems as the 'don't do this' versions. Aside from fixing the tone, they are still generic, still inactionable, and still verbose.
Cookie control should have been part of the browser UI all along rather than the responsibility of individual sites. Then you could have a global “allow all” or “deny all” setting or site-level control.

But browser vendors dropped the ball because they make a lot of money selling ads that exploit cookies. The EU had the power and could have simply ordered Google and Microsoft to implement cookie settings in their browsers, but they blew it.
It’s legal already, websites are just being overly cautious.

You just need to not be using third party ads and analytics software, more or less, and you’re in the clear.

The cookie banner is a nice CYA “we do it because everyone does it” kind of thing, and most people don’t care about degrading the UX because what’s the user gonna do, NOT read our content? And also everyone else does it so shrug.

GDPR is pretty sensible overall. The cookie banner is ad companies making it as painful and difficult as possible to reject their crap. Most of these banners are automatically inserted by the third party libraries people pull, not even by the site authors themselves.
Well, no matter who you want to blame, it all started with a bunch of ignorant lawmakers who caused a series of events that made web browsing worse.
Yes and bring back the blink tag.
> Anybody have an account I can use?
The cookies banner in the EU, California and other countries is just a failure to address real issues. That solves nothing. I have seen FB and Google able to track you despite cookies blocked with Adblock/script block, including PiHole. Just the other day, I was getting some visa info to visit friends in the USA next year and later opened FB and immediately saw ads related to visas and immigration ad from a legal firm. With or Without cookies, these companies have developed tech to track everyone.

The only thing is you don't see ads or banners with these extensions, but somehow they track you using advanced fingerprinting for sure.
Not entirely necessary for its function, but UNIX `pass` and dotfile managers such as `yadm` come to mind when considering git based programs.
Of course if you're a 40 years old women, you can try, but I wouldn't tell a woman that "she can have babies after 40", since it's a very risky gamble, aside from the complications of birthing and pregnancy, and illnesses such as Down's syndrome, which are much more prevalent when the mother is older.
That's not the be-all, end-all. A previously WFO-only team must make various adjustments to become a successful hybrid team, so even just one WFH team-member will be unhappy if the entire rest of the team doesn't change their behavior in pertain ways (e.g. renouncing ad-hoc team meetings over coffee, or in-person whiteboarding).
Should we create a FDIC-like mechanism for chips, to reduce companies'incentive to "bank run" their vendors?

Ghidra is just better overall now. Full stop. IDA still does some things better, but Ghidra is a great tool and most people still on IDA are there because of their existing tooling, scripts, and experience with the software. Starting from scratch, Ghidra would win. Been using IDA for like 16 years now.

Out of curiosity, why do you want this?
and yet the companies still exist doing the same thing and web browsing is worse.
My criticism of Apple is that it is a closed environment and you get dependent on one manufacturer that is already using its position to demand high prices and doesn't really make you the owner of their devices. This conflicts with engineering in general all over the place for numerous reasons.

Industry automation relies on Windows, which isn't optimal as well, but it still is a far more open system. I hope they don't try to copy Apple. In-house advertising uses Apple for designs and that works decently well. Apple is seen as cool, but it is sometimes hard to integrate them into workflows or more serious work on data.

iOS and it derivatives are simply a toy OS and very unflexible. There is one solution to almost everything and in most cases it works. But that is more or less the end.
“Python isn't Used in Prod”
My recent experience with docker, I am a total newb so I was running a tutorial step by step, then I get some error about apt certificates/keys/repo stuff. After lot of googling the issue was there was not enough disk space but the fucking error was pointing in a different direction. Also this is a good example why Stack Overflow is usefull for the dudes that hate on it and RTFM everyone else.

This is why I love exceptions, I had an issue with a C# game, but with a stack trace I could figure out myself that the issue is happening when the app initialize and fails to open a file.

I think twe should always give the users a detailed log and stack traces, also docker should fucking have some way to catch the issue when there is not enough space and report the error properly.
I love love love wfh. Makes a world of difference when you have a family. I walk my kids to school. I can take care of tasks that require small amounts of active work- load dishwasher, etc.

But I wouldn’t be where I am today without wfo early in my career.

It would be nice to come up with some new ways of handling this. Maybe the more senior folks who want to be in the office lead a team of juniors, who can then choose to wfh over time, as they decide how much benefit it gives them.
> And the US is quickly becoming a de-facto iOS only country...

I love that "there are two big players in the market with a literally 50%/50% split" means that iOS dominates. iPhones have always been popular among teenagers, if Millennials are any indication it levels out over time. It's just one of many weird demographic splits, not some grand trend. People need to not fall into the fallacy that "something is popular with young people" means that thing will remain popular as they get older.

iOS is more popular among women, young people, liberals, professionals, upper-middle and high-income, people with post-secondary education, and urbanites.

As well as the inverse of the above Android is more popular with people who work in IT, and people who follow tech news.
Bold of you to assume lawmakers would be ahead of hackers on the technology front.
I have but I had to backpack around the world for a year with plans to leave IT. Turned out what made me reconsider was working at a startup vs. corporate job. YMMV with all of the above, of course.
Until Google removes the Manifest V2 code from Chromium. Then we'll see how long Brave can hold with such a large divergence of codebases. Will they stop updating their engine and stay stuck ? Cherry-pick each and every patch ?
well they could do the same with your video if you dont mind frames being skipped.

At the end of the day there are limits to how much data you can pump through a cable, and as seen with thunderbolt cables it gets expensive quick.

99.9% of users don't need more than 2 monitors, for those that do they can plug in a few more usb-c.

using video compression sucks balls as anyone who has to use a displaylink monitor on some sucky office hub can attest.
You're making a mass assumption based on your usage of Brave there. Most people I know who downloaded Brave (general people, not the YCombintor/tech power user types) initially got Brave purely because they wanted to earn tokens while browsing.

They don't care about the tracking/ad blocking side of things.
Man, I had Bell's palsy in 8th grade. It lasted for about two months.

My cousin has had it twice as an adult, the second time left her at about 60%, which has been pretty hard on her.

The fact that people judge appearances first, because it is unpreventable and incurable I'd give it 1 out of 10 stars.
> Essentially, you’re trading time against money. What’s most valuable to you?

It took me an embarrassingly long time for this to sink in all the way. I worked in crunch-time-heavy jobs like filmmaking and video games, sometimes doing 12 hours a day for 7 days a week for stretches. The problem with working that much is that it’s essentially using 100% of your time: after eating and sleeping, there is not enough left to have time for friends or family or much of anything else at all. I finally realized that when I trade all of my time away for money, I’m effectively putting a dollar amount on the value of my life, and it turns out that the number wasn’t anywhere near high enough for me.
> Work is a third of our life, and it seems reasonable that many people would want social interaction during that time

Yeh thats reasonable enough. I do miss the social aspects of working in an office, I just don't miss the logistics of it like the commute, or the cost, the social pressures or the lack of freedom. As you say work is a third of our life, it seems reasonable that people wouldn't want it to be any more consuming.

> You think WFH is every individuals choice in this new world. It isn’t.

You say this and then don't really expand on it further. Do you mean its not a choice for those not in IT? Of course we all know this, thats the point, if you can do your job from home it should be a choice thats open to you. Its not for everyone, thats the problem.

> WFH is a group decision. Don’t think it’s morally superior to choose WFH.

1. No its not. Its an individual decision. It affects a wider group, as does any individual decision, as is the decision to force working in an office.

2. Nobody said its morally superior, other than that it seems to me morally superior not to force decisions on people because it makes you personally happy.

As for the arguments on community, that community mainly seems to be involved with shops and land mass. I'm not sure I'd call that a community, at least one thats not corporate controlled or impossible to replicate remotely.
Both are quite terrible when it comes to dissent and their perceptions of morality. Iran will execute citizens for mocking their leader. In 1988, some reports say 30,000 political prisoners were executed. Today, Iran routinely executes people with alternative lifestyles. A woman was recently beaten to death by Iranian "morality police" for not wearing the hijab. I am in no way defending the brutalization of SA citizens by their government, I'm just pointing out that the Iranian regime is wholly evil. There isn't really anything friendly about Iranian government.

I wish breaking up all teams and reforming them based on who wants to work in the office and who doesn't was happening more. To me that would be the best solution.

Who gets to say what is factual?

EDIT: This isn't a gotcha, I am genuinely curious about how we would establish a source of truth.
Still using my SE 2016 here for these reasons (it has the same body as the 5 and 5S). After using this phone for 5+ years, I've gotten so good at texting on it that I don't even use autocorrect! And it has a headphone jack.

Something has gone horribly rotten in the space of smartphones in the last 5 years.
Pretty sure his problem was he got contacted about an issue he considers uninteresting, and his preferred solution is the user stops behaving like a human.

Reaching for the easiest way to solve a problem first is a very human thing to do, and in this case he was easier to contact than opening up a browser and reading an article that presumably is written in the same kind of language as the error message.
A lot of other people have the opposite problem: even an open-plan office is significantly quieter and easier to think in than in your own apartment with your kids around.
Brave is Chromium-based and will also suffer from the Manifest v3 change. They're just activating the extended enterprise support to delay the inevitable. So no, Brave will not keep those extensions alive.

With that said, Brave's built-in ad blocker should not be affected by the change.
Install uBlock Origin, open Settings > Filter lists, and enable EasyList Cookie in the Annoyances section. As I understand it this will do the same thing Brave does.
Manufacturers are very good at these calculations.

One interesting example is that for the initial IFE systems that were deployed, the heat generated by the displays was significant enough that the largest cost to the installation was the required upgrade to the cabin air conditioning systems.
> commute doesn't make up for the gains of socializing

You've put your finger on the problem. It's about how people socialize.

From your text, it's clear that you've done a lot of your socializing in your job.

Many people don't. In fact, many put on a fake smile and just get on with the day.

The extra hours a day allow me to socialize with people I really like in my actual life. I've rebuild friendships that were on life support and rekindled with my partner.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional team building exercise. I also value workplace relationships and do my best to make sure people are okay with their mental health. But I'm not out to make friends. In fact, I've always been annoyed by people who used work and the office as a way to hold their colleagues hostage in office "friendships." I'm not saying you do that.

Now everyone is free to do what they want. In our case, the office is open and the 5-10 people who were leading the office social life still go there. It's how they enjoy their workday and it's absolutely valid to do so.

All the other people who were just friendly for the sake of professionalism no longer go in and interact with others except for professional reasons.

If we lived in a world where we had complete control of our workspace (as long as we were physically present in the office) I would work in a private office with a door that locks. I would walk in every morning, work without talking to anyone, and leave in the afternoon. It would be identical to WFH except with an added commute.

For me, it's a dream.
But it's not a problem because it doesn't affect your ability to search. One-off tags do not enter the tag search results. I'm super confused why this isn't obvious and intuitive to you..
This definitely has the whole "I am so smart, therefore people who think like me are also smart" vibe to to it.
If you’re ok spending 1 minute turning off their weird crypto-powered ad stuff (or if you’re ok with it), I personally think Brave is the best Chromium browser available, and I believe they have said they will not be removing Manifest v2 support. Also their built in ad/tracker blocking is nice.
No we're not.

There's a lot of people here claiming that their personal use is representative of their country, or of Europe as a whole. I get SMS from a lot of people. You don't, probably because a lot of the people you know are on Facebook/Whatsapp and it's more convenient for them to stay with that platform. That doesn't mean that they don't use SMS for anyone else. It just means that you are bubbled.

You do understand that there is a commonly accepted definition of a bash one-liner and that the one I shared fits that definition spot on, right? Further, there is a bunch of very Bash specific code in it that doesn't work in most other Posix compliant shells, so your scare quotes feel even more like a failed trolling attempt.

> FWIW I would rather use oathtool than the other monstrosity.

So would any sane person. The point wasn't what you should use, it was what is possible, which if you had read comments up the thread chain and tried to understand the context rather than making it a pissing contest about which tool is better when that wasn't even the question at hand.

Perhaps it’s a personal thing, but I clearly remember that after we had our first child I realized that I would have loved an adopted child just the same. I wasn’t of that opinion before that, but an honest word if my wife would tell me now that the kid is not mine, I’d probably show her the door, but would make every effort to keep my children ;)
