This is why minorities are a prime scape goat for politicians.

Why be mad at some faceless corporation/politician, when you can blame the world’s issues on Garry that you see in the supermarket?

Is that last one granting access to closed APIs?

That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.

I liked to use a three tiered approach…

Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.

A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.

For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.

This is a large reason why I dreaded Apple making iOS apps a priority for the Mac. Everything wrong about the mobile model becomes a first class citizen.

Yeah… there were a bunch of issues with the Virtual Boy.

A Sudo 3D experience on hardware that couldn’t handle 3D graphics, needed to be setup on a table, and a color palette that made the GameBoy seem high fidelity, never mind the red was horrid to stare at for too long.

It really was ahead of its time… in all the wrong ways.

I suspect, nothing less than Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft going all in on their next generation console would be enough to bring VR mainstream. As in, the VR being the primary way to play.

Of the three, I can’t see Sony or Microsoft doing it.

Maybe Nintendo, as doing weird stuff is kinda their thing, but even that’s doubtful.

This is specific to the videogame-ish sub-genre, mostly Isakeis…

But you go out of the way to include RPG mechanics into your story… but the only real influence it has on the storytelling is spending an inordinate amount of time grinding… a mechanic explicitly added to RPGs to pad the game.

There are good video game based stories, Survival Story of a Sword King and Dungeon Reset both immediately come to mind… but I feel like this is a widespread problem.

I feel like voter turnout on (especially) local levels would be greater if we had to participate in Highschool. Get used to researching local politics would go a long way to instilling it in adulthood.

That and mandatory time off for voting would help.

If this is a joke, it’s going over my head. But as I understand it:

Geek: Socially Acceptable, Really smart about a particular topic, or in general. Nerd: Socially awkward, really smart about a topic or in general. Dork: Socially awkward, not especially bright.

But then profits would hinge upon such concepts. It might actually be brilliant long term.

Article mentions nothing with regards to holding corporations accountable nor any plan or threat of action on the president’s part.

Luthor in Flash’s Body: I have no idea who this is.

I have half memories of patents for Mac Laptops with cellular modems from like… the late PowerPC early Intel era.

I wonder what’s changed to make Apple give the green light? Certainly isn’t cellular prices.

Firefox on iOS uses WebKit.

I think you’ve inadvertently narrowed down that the issue is an extension you have enabled for Safari. Since it’s not the website itself.

Safari is a very thin wrapper around the WebKit rendering engine. Oversimplifying, but it basically only handles bookmarks and tabs. The actual webpage is handled with WebKit and all web browsers on iOS use WebKit.

So if Safari is acting slow, then you can presume that all browsers on iOS would act slow in those same situations.

In practice though, Safari/webkit slowdown tends to be one of two things:

1. Poorly designed website: Think tons of trackers, ads, and analytics that bog down the website for no benefit to the user.

2. Browser Extension issues:

Some extensions can speed up websites, mostly in the form of blockers than prevent unnecessary resources from loading in the first place…

On the other end of the spectrum, there are extensions that slow websites down that need to read and inject content into the source. It may be prudent to examine your extensions and see if there are conflicts.

Yes, they share the same WebKit roots, but Safari isn’t likely to make it impossible to block ads any time soon. That’s difference enough.

It’s one of the few browsers that’s not powered by Chrome, so yeah.

The risk is that Mozilla is in a position to add features and stability at a rate that smaller developers cannot possibly replicate. By doing so they risk becoming the defacto standard (embrace/extend). Then they get to dictate what the entire platform should or should not do. And you’re either on board or left in the dust. And if Mozilla decides that moderating a social network is too much of a liability, then we’re at extinguish.

To be frank, I’m so jaded by big players in this late stage capitalist world that I don’t trust anyone I might otherwise be fine with, like Mozilla.
