I would, but I just switched to LibreWolf, and in the process, my settings got wiped out, so I’m still rebuilding.

Surprisingly, there’s still plenty of websites that don’t need much JavaScript at all, so I think it’s better to just start fresh for your personal use.

NoScript is pretty straightforward. Default behavior is to block most JavaScript, but they have a few that have been let through to keep the web mostly functioning. You can go into settings and change the default behaviors or just ignore all that and start whitelisting things as you go.

Another DIY option to look at is Mycroft. They used to sell devices, but they’ve since stopped all development as of 2023. There’s likely still a community tinkering away, so I’d imagine you could still run your own if you wanted.

As will I, but those look like legit release notes and not a joke. Nothing jumps out as too good to be true or just bizarre.

Yes! NoScript is my tool of choice.

It can sometimes be annoying to have to whitelist things, but after seeing that when I allow the main domain (and maybe their CDN) through the filter, and ten more domains will try to do whatever it is they do—Google Tags and Analytics, some data broker, some cookie tracker, etc.—I’m willing to take that extra step just to keep all these companies from snarfing up my data.

A little annoyance is a small price to pay, in my mind.

I run a whitelist. I’d rather be more private than know what to blacklist (and there’s often a lot of extra JavaScript that gets called, mostly for tracking).

It’s not that tedious. You just add as you use the internet. Refresh the page when you’ve whitelisted.

I took a general comment and said something very specific. What you saw as dual meaning, I saw as one. OP did not make their intended meaning clear.

Maybe we can be better than Reddit and be more charitable with each other here, yeah?

They won’t. Nobody is coming to save us. We have to stop waiting for someone else to be the heroes we need.

Bruh, why are you taking umbrage? Chill, I didn’t shit on your birthday cake.

That’s not the only problem. They’re making content, so finding “the right person” will inevitably be less important than finding a person. Can’t fall out of the Almighty Algorithm’s favor, amirite?

Sounds like The Perfect Product!

I always liked KeeWeb as an alternative front end for KeePass.

Not like the SEC will stop him

In an unsurprising twist, general sales across the various markets are down even more than expected in the first quarter of 2025, which means consumers are either poorer and/or holding onto their money out of fear.

Coupled with what’s happening in the government, and we’re sprinting towards a general recession—potentially even worse in rural areas.

True, but I would suppose that depends how intertwined your account is with your life. A couple of new accounts probably wouldn’t matter that much. I just more meant that they wouldn’t try to sue you, or something.

AGI is definitely just around the corner! We just need to throw more money and the energy produced by half the country at it!

He’s not delusional (with regard to what he’s doing). He wins either way. The government crumbles, he gets to remake it in his image. He fails, he gets to claim he made the government more efficient, and the fact that it’s limping along is just the result of “necessary” pruning.

This is all theater. He doesn’t actually care about the outcome or the American people.

My company actually wrote their flagship software in COBOL starting in the 80s, and we’re only now six years into rewriting everything in a more modern language with probably four years to go.

I can’t imagine trying to start such a project like rewriting all of Social Security and thinking it will take months. You have to be a special kind of fatuous to unironically think that.

How this will go:

DOGE: “Okay Grok. Convert this COBOL code into Python.”

Dumb AI: “Certainly! Here you go.”

System crashes and exposes all Americans’ SSNs

DOGE: “Fuckin’ DEI hires…!”

Except he didn’t live long enough to rat anyone out. That’s the only downside to that story.
