Brave search is ok. Google, Bing and Duckduckgo have terrible results.

The verb indigenize sounds very strange in the context.

Yes, Firefox should block ads by default.

Other browsers like Brave have this feature for a while. It's another example of Firefox getting late to the party.

In Brazil, the police isn't allowed to do this. The justice system accepts that the perpetrator would not follow the course of action if the government haven't created a hitman site.
This approach by the fbi can lead to some bizarre situations. They shouldn't have that power.

It's indeed tiresome to configure a new phone. There're a ton of apps to uninstall and to remove permissions.

The app Hacki is a good one too.

The vision and ideas from the game Deus Ex are waiting to happen.

How many minutes an adult would survive with the oxygen produced?

Calibre always had some update. It was annoying.
Aisen8010 | 2 years ago | on: Unity to lay off 8% of its workforce
Things are going very well to Epic. Exclusive games like Gears of War, Redfall and the next Halo are adopting their engine (I'm not sure if it tells more about Microsoft incompetence or Unreal's virtues).

It's good to see that they chose the keyword discard instead of the underscore symbol. It's verbose, but at least you can see the damn thing.

It's probably in your plans, but it would be nice a page showing the syntax (for example, control flow and variable declaration).

Sumatra is the best PDF Reader. It's sad that the developer isn't making much money from that excellent product.

It's a hard job! All the good names (Java, C, Brainfuck) are taken.
Aisen8010 | 3 years ago | on: Spotify reducing employee base by about 6%
Deezer has a lot of interface problems too.
I think that Deezer is better because there is a button to 'don't recommend this track/artist'. I can filter the things that I dislike.
Another positive thing about Deezer is that it shows less popups and notifications than Spotify.

Inheritance is the best solution to some problems.
It got a bad reputation because it was abused. Bad practice is using inheritance when a tuple or a map would suffice.
Aisen8010 | 3 years ago | on: 2022 was the year of Linux on the Desktop?
My experience is similar. Anything more complicated than the basic stuff like surfing the web is hard.
Things are getting better in the Linux desktop, but in a slow pace. I had some hope with the PopOs (I don't know what they are doing nowadays).
