Did you use a grep command? The file is too large for me to open and I have not used grep before to have confidence with it.
Edit: nvm,
```
findstr /i /r ".000000000." ssn.txt
```
did the trick in powershell, with the zeros replaced with the ssn. Also there is a star after each period that HN has changed to italicize the text instead of showing it.
Completely annoying. I can't imagine any legitimate reason for disabling paste, and I work in cyber security. (There are poorly thought out reasons for disabling paste such as trying to discourage bots, but those sorts of attacks can easily work around such "security" measures.)
FWIW, most of the reddit self-promo filters should be addressed by the EasyList and AdGuard annoyances lists. If not, consider submitting an issue (they're very responsive):
> They copied it a little bit, but it's very mouse oriented (option-click the green zoom button to snap windows to left/right).
Moom, which is the tool I prefer, similarly shows a popover when hovering over the green button.
Personally I prefer this sort of approach and wish it could be replicated on other OSes. The Aero Snap way of doing things with the noisy “should I snap here” animations are annoying and too easy to accidentally trigger.
Proton Drive, Nextcloud, or iCloud Drive (all E2EE cloud storage solutions) seem like better choices than Dropbox if you're concerned enough about privacy to be using Cryptomator and Mullvad.
You're not obligated to listen to an ad anymore than you are obligated to buy an advertised product.
Creators will still get paid per download with this tool. If everyone does something like this (unlikely), worst case is conversion rates might be lower, which could cause advertising to become less financially viable, so content creators may have to explore other monetization options or add more advertising.
Removing ads from a podcast that offers a paid ad-free alternative feels wrong, but aside from that I don't see anything wrong with this. I'll always choose a paid version over ads.
Video/audio ads (especially TV commercial breaks) seem inherently obtrusive to me. They're hard to skip, and rarely contextual. I personally think listening to ads is generally harmful, there are better sources of information to be influenced by to make a decision.
An unobtrusive ad would imo be more like putting a link in the description, or a privacy-respecting banner on the website. I'm sure that wouldn't pay as well, though.
