It does because it’s code you have to take into account when adding new features. Basically unnecessary pain in the ass.

moreeni, 2 years ago to privacyguides in Is there any point in using NoScript if you already have uBlock Origin?

uBlock blocks fingerprinting scripts completely. You can also enable scripts individually with it and thus remove the need for NS, which does the same but less

I use a second browser too, actually. Still, I would like the ease of using the default browser instead of copy-pasting every such URL

moreeni, 2 years ago to piracy in RANT: I hate the fact that my ISP can restrict access to certain sites

It’s pretty much the only way they enforce stuff here in Ukraine. Back in 2015 when the government blocked social media websites tied to Russian companies and in 2022 when .ru domains were blocked, changing your DNS provider didn’t help. I’m not sure about piracy sites, though, because everyone kinda doesn’t care about this stuff here, but I don’t think they would invent other mechanisms when they have a working one that doesn’t rely on DNS.

Sometimes the block is on whole different level than a DNS

I mean the binary, y’know, the game one. They can’t be seriously allowed to distribute this on Github, can they?

Since it is hosted on GitHub, I assume I should search for the binary elsewhere. Or does it automatically download it from somewhere?..

moreeni, 2 years ago to asklemmy in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?

Damn, good luck to you, man. I was lucky enough to have a thunderstorm at night so today is not as hot as it was yesterday

moreeni, 2 years ago to asklemmy in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?

Warm clothes, they are nice and make you comfy. When you’re at home, putting on a big blanket and some warm tea feels great. Heaters are also a thing

moreeni, 2 years ago to asklemmy in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?

Yeah, ceiling fans are a very rare thing in Eastern Europe. I haven’t ever seen one with my own eyes and I have been to all kinds of places in my country

moreeni, 2 years ago to asklemmy in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?

Thank you for the all the advices but my laptop is already the “low power” option. The other one is a desktop, which produces way more heat. Although still less than most modern “gaming stations”

The club, is sadly, not the one I would like to be in. I have always been a fan of winter but it seems like with each year it’s going to be harder to enjoy it
