enable js?


Why? All content is already loaded, but it's covered by loader.

Every site should be usable without CSS / JS. Nobody remember Progressive Enhancement nowadays?

but asking the author (who didn't even submit this link), to change his website due to your preference of not using js seems a bit priviliged. Enable js, or move on.


Don't comment, move on…

> but asking the author (who didn't even submit this link)

Why I should ask author, who submits this link? I'm asking author of this article, submitting has nothing to it.

> to your preference

It's not my preference, it's standards. Suggest read about it.


author of the article


On an untrusted site, where the content is readily available in the source view? No thanks, malware and other cryptominers are still a thing.


I've been browsing some website with js disabled and I must say, when it doesn't completely break a website (ex. website with paywalls or relying heavily on dynamic content), it feels like a much better version of the web. No flashy pop-ups, no randomly reloading content, no video ads every 2 paragraph, no banners(!).

Wouldn't say malware and js cryptominers are a big worry of mine though, unless you go on really disreputable websites.


useless use of js is a thing


what I do is have an SD card reader for my phone and ipad. It's miles better (of course) than all the different connectivity apps that the camera brands offer.


What kind of skills are required to get started in jailbreaking? I am guessing some assembly and C would be helpful. Not even sure what to search for to get started.

I am not really interested in jailbreaking iPhones, but I have some equipment from the early 2000s running software that are no longer maintained that I'd love to tweak.


From my experience looking at open source jailbreak repos, I’d say writing commented, maintainable code with good error checking is not a required skill.


It's just reverse engineering. You want to find some kind of actions that let you cause non-standard behavior in the implementation of privileged libraries.


you don't say how much you eat, but are you testing your ketones after eating meat? Protein in moderate to high quantities (especially lean proteins) can pull you out of ketoses quite easily.


I have done 10-day fasts pretty easily. However, the difference is that when you are doing a voluntary fast, it is just that - voluntary. I imagine not knowing when your fast will end (if ever), will change your attitude and behavior a great deal.


Does this mean I can finally run slack and chrome without running out of memory?


Aren't most Adobe products 64bit?


Current versions are. But, if you bought CS6 outright when Adobe switched to a cloud subscription model then CS6 is not going to work any longer (it's 32 bit).

That's the boat I am in. I can afford their cloud subscription but out of principle I will try their main competitor first (Affinity: $50 one time purchase). I will try running it in a VM second. Only if neither of those solutions are satisfactory will I pay a monthly fee for software that I use very little.


Modern trainers handle it just fine. I used to be a professional cyclist and would log about 20 hours inside/week during winter.

You can also get a roller with resistance, that is probably the best investment I ever made.

For people in the US I recommend http://www.insideride.com/ and in Europe the equivalent is this: https://www.elite-it.com/en/products/home-trainers/rollers/q...


I don't agree nor disagree since I've never heard that word used for anything else than the software. But by this logic, we should also rename git


Git is not without issues, but it's not as bad as this word.

There are two common ways to see gimp beyond what its defenders put forward:

1: A kink thing.

2: What the kink is based on: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gimp -> https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cripple

Neither one is great for adoption.

>> "I've never heard that word used for anything else than the software."

There are a lot of words I didn't know were common slurs, or at least inaccurate or otherwise not okay until someone told me. For example: Eskimo (colonist nonsense), Gypsy (name given to Romani people based on mistaken belief they came from Egypt), Indian (some native people use it, but not all).

Learning is great.
