Back in my day, MS-DOS let you use HELP on QBASIC commands.

OP said (paraphrasing) “here’s the last time they got caught doing what they just did to me” when they linked it. It’s an addendum to their rant, not the main focus of it.

Slow down, 37

They’re like a video game character that gets caught on the landscaping.

Them complaining about their ad revenue dropping is cringy as fuck. Maybe if they didn’t make their ads so egregious that users went looking through settings to turn them off, it wouldn’t drop so much.

What tripped the fuse, though?

But your whiny and lazy ass is better?

D-brand could make a LTT screwdriver wrap so that people can cover the logo, instead of dremelling it off.

If you object to people expressing their displeasure, you don’t need to throw a fuss about it.

Seconding Everything. Being able to search for text inside of files has been a godsend.

Then use the article version linked at the bottom of the post?

Good for them.

If it weren’t for reader mode, a lot of news sites would be unusable.

And lets give the dot menu a slight delay so it looks neat.

The version on my S5 is a quarter the size of the version on my XCover. Both give the same directions. The app ballooned to 4x the size for ads and features I have literally never used on the phone like street view and “explore”.

The version on my near decade old phone is also snappier and uses less data because it isn’t background loading a bunch of ads for me to tune out.

Sometimes it’s as simple as something like “firefox doesn’t support import maps”, but now they do (in 108+) but nobody has the time or inclination to go back and validate that the site now works in firefox.

The logic is that they don’t count ignition costs because they only have to be paid once. So it’s producing more than it consumes, and would eventually start netting a surplus.

What’s extra stupid about these, is most of the time just using a user agent switcher to make the site think you’re on chrome or opera makes it work just fine.

My favourite text based game is still Fallthru

That’s pants-on-head level stupidity.
