to not buy the new one. but if I have already bought it, before it was enshittified even, I don’t want to buy a new one to be able to reconfigure it unless absolutely necessary

yeah but I don’t want to use up 20 GB just for a single project. It’s not like my hard drive is 80% free. more like 10% free, even though it’s large, because I’m using it and I’m already selective on what I’m doing on it

I think it boils down to, java has a lot of ceremony, which is designed to improve stability. I think this makes code bases more complex, and gives it the reputation it has.

I’m not a java programmer, but I like it more because python and js projects are often very messy

I’ve fallen into this trap too a year ago or so. try if the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager is useful for any of your devices, it’s a totally offline program. you can get it from the page below, but if it’s been taken down check the archive.org, I think I have made an archive of the exe too

garbage advice lol

the software has useful features, like reconfiguring buttons on your mouse. however lately all of them got to be enshittified with a login requirement.

the real solution is to not buy their shit, or to keep buying used hardware for which decent software configurator is still available

and in modern days we don’t rly have hard disk limitation

well if you are a corporation, that’s true. Otherwise, not much

i still don’t understand. is it easier in python or JS to make getters and setters? with python my experience has been the opposite, with the decorator based solution in mind.
or if the problem is that they exist, as an option to be used, why is that a problem? they can be implemented in any other language, and it can be useful.

then yeah, you should check for nulls. just like for None’s in python, or if you have the correct type at all, because if it’s entirely different but ends up having a function or variable with the same name then who knows what happens.
then in javascript besides null, you also have undefined and NaN!

in my country that’s exactly what is happening, they are taking the simpler jobs for much cheaper, and lot of our “native” people has/had jobs like this.

ironically, this country is among the loudest in anti-immigration in the EU, all the while they are immigrating people from neighboring countries exactly for cheap labor.

if this doesn’t, then it doesn’t have any, and people would leave it alone near 0 votes

it might have been just because OP did not understand what they wanted to mean. I don’t either.

oh there is. from 3 years ago, and some

Ok. I also care for it blocking data mining and annoying popups, and out working as a google safebrowsing alternative, but that’s harder to argue for.

I’m a Librewolf fan too, but the majority of the hard work is done by Mozilla developers. Their work is very important too, but what they are doing is preconfiguring prefs, adding patches, and writing the patches sometimes. Much easier to be done as a team of volunteers.

Because they have dedicated time. A contributor has his free time, and will contribute with work they are interested in, while still having to work at a job to be able to afford living.

Then feel free to suffer from and be manipulated by targeted advertisement.

But it’s not a nuke. The addon still lives and thrives, on browsers not controlled by google, and Firefox is not like a complicated browser that the average user couldn’t drive.
I think the nuke would be if
a) google would find a way to effectively break all sites where uBO is detected, and uBO couldn’t defend against it, or not in time while there’s mass breakage
b) uBO and such would be legally outlawed in a large country or more

To me the way it’s better is that it’s more free in a sense. For one it does not even attempt to limit what software you use for browsing it, but also if you very dislike certain people/content, like-minded people can host their server without losing access to most of the other content, while being able to block the unwelcome instances and users.

Downvote brigading is not a technical problem though, but a people problem, isn’t it? So the solution against that would be stricter moderation, maybe banning a few more instances (but that’s not really a good solution unless it’s very extreme), and making people downvote less.
Hmm, thinking about it, maybe a daily per-user “downvote budget” would be an interesting experiment? To see if it would be effective. Or with an other interval, but still not too long, and maybe partly connected to account active days (not account age).

Because Firefox isn’t perfect either, to say the least. It has problems, which it had for many years and it’s just counting.

Do you think systems like fediseer would help with that? As I understand it’s a voucher based reputation system.
