A great read, thanks for sharing.
At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.
I really hope this is successful, it’s really got the spirit of what made the early internet great.
That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.
The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.
I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?
I started but then I noticed the scrollbar and realised it’s a lot longer read than I have the attention for right now - to the “read later (yeah right)” pile with you!
I’m curious to know the impact of ad-blockers - I didn’t see you it mention in your post or blog, so I’m assuming you tested with stock browsers. Also, did you clear history and data from your Android install since it sounds like you’d normally use that?
I’m assuming that ad-blockers would be a net benefit to both battery and performance, given that in a way it’s an optimisation. The boost from removing data and computation (that the user doesn’t want anyway) must be far higher than the overhead of the plugin, right?
So they’re switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git… How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?
It is possible to die from eating spicy food, like this 14 year old in the US: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-chip-challenge-pulled-shelves-teen-death-rcna103906
You’re forgetting about security updates, which would also be blocked. It’s definitely more of a problem if the whole of Mozilla gets blocked than some plugins that have workarounds and alternatives.
If Russia blocks security updates, that’s worse for Russian users than having to go to GitHub to install a plugin.
The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it’s just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.
I’d assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I’m not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don’t see how you’d know if each server chose that option so I guess it’s more like “servers with green hosting companies”.
Don’t downvote stuff just because you’re not interested in it! There’s no algorithm you’re training, you’re just being rude to people.
Downvotes should be for worthless content and people being dicks.

Ah, so nothing to do with incels harassing women. Do incels have a queen?
It’s interesting that the author and most others went with 403, when 426 seems to be the most appropriate.
Neither are perfect matches, since 403 is about authentication and 426 is for Upgrade semantics (i.e. the upgrade is over the same transport protocol, not switching from http to https). npm isn’t sending an Upgrade header, which is required, but I think if it sent Upgrade: TLS/1.0, HTTP/1.1
then that would be claiming they supported TLS on port 80 (STARTTLS style) - possible but unconventional.
I haven’t used atuin yet, but I believe the histories from other machines is more like accessible than mixed - you don’t just hit ↑ on machine1 and see machine2 commands.
A fun article, and I really like the idea of pataphysics. I’ve klnown of SCP for a long time but I’ve never delved into it - it seems more bottomless than TVTropes, and I’ve spent/wasted enough time there already!
I’ve only just found the channel, and am currently watching the one on Biomimicry. Glad to hear the quality’s consistent.
