IBM sure does suck donkey balls but I really don’t think that particular thing is their fault.

"If you didn’t like what I said then I’m sorry you see it that way. But if you did like what I said - you’re welcome. wink "

Straight out of the neoliberal / right-wing playbook.

That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.

Can this “feature” be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.

Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”

7 Pro since launch, no issues whatsoever.

Yeah that’s really cool for all those Linux phones out there. Oh wait, there are like two and a half models in total and none of them are great? Damn.

Avi Loeb is a pathetic crackpot hack who is abusing his prestigious academia position to flood journals with worthless papers. He really needs to be ignored by society at large because he has no clue what he is talking about.

And in the end the lying salesman died because of snakeoil therapy. I wish more stories had such a happy ending.

There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.

I really tried hard to persevere - but I’m weak and it was too much.

Agreed! Blobmoji were the best and I’m totally not bitter at all that Google killed them like so many other great services.

It’s very funny for sure and I was just about to share it with the other SWEs in our off-topic chat. But I just can’t listen to it, had to close the tab after like 50 seconds. Perhaps on mute and with CC?

Ew.

I can see getting a Pixel Fold 3 Pro or something like that when it comes out in a few years. That is if Google doesn’t lose interest in the product line in the meantime…

I have been using my Pixel 7 Pro for almost a year and it’s still perfect so I am not in need of a new device. But I certainly like the pocketable tablet form factor of Fold devices and may very well get one of those next.

He can change the name to Twitler. Not a big change but much more fitting.@Technological_Burger

Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I’m using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.

If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that’s fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it’s not worth the effort anymore.
But it’s possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)

Yeah, you’re right. They try but it’s not the same.

Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out “mostly right”.

Dark Reader isn’t perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)
