Same... That was definitely a moan.

Use an adblocker?

That's what I do and why I don't even know what brooklinen is.


The web is becoming very hostile to ad blockers. I use a VPN and I've noticed more and more sites just being obnoxious with their popups and even just crashing the site completely in a loop (looking at you EuroNews)


It doesn't solve everything but the 'full' desktop version of the ublock origin plugin runs just fine in Android on Firefox. I can't even imagine using any other mobile browser now. I don't know what the situation is for iphone platform stuff these days.


and f.e. brave on ios


If a site doesn’t let me see it with my ad blocking enabled, I just go elsewhere.


This Even skimming the web could take up 1000X the hours I have in a day, and I really should spend more time exercising, and reading books, and with friends and family, and volunteering, and ...


Try firefox, as chrome puts restrictions on what adblockers can do


I suspect it's not a real crash you're seeing, but rather a deceptive anti-adblocking script that redirects to a page that fraudulently claims to be a crash.


They sell bedsheets, with sort of a raunchy ad campaign. I had a adblocker but wound up uninstalling it when it became more of a hassle than it was worth.


abp in firefox doesn't really remove them. I've seen and reported multiple scummy popup-like looking ads like tfn and saw it again for weeks...


There may be gaps every now and then in block lists of ad blocking solutions, but besides that, you are using the wrong ad blocker. abp is not to be trusted to reliably block all ads it could. It has a different mission than uBlock Origin.


Use ublock origin rather than ABP. ABP was dead the moment they sold out to "responsible" ads.


ABP as in adblock plus?

Don't use that. Use Ublock Origin.


Qwen 3.8 on xhigh defaulr needs 128k context minimum or you'll spend most of your time compacting context.

Also make sure you use the instruct temperatures/etc for implementation.


So towards the end it was like it went away?!


Kind of, you could tell it took a lot of effort. Usually after a full night of sleep and a good breakfast, or after a nap. A few of us had lengthy car rides where he said everything he wanted to

He told me he was so jealous of all this new computer stuff I get to play with. I think about that a lot this year


Scrappy codebases is a very kind way to put it.


So that the AI model that generated code can get proper credit and we'll know to use (or not use it) next time.


That's not at all what someone who wants to "tell at a glance who used AI" actually wants to know.


I'll consider avoiding jj because of this, personally.


It's always the first step. The second step would be switching the license and only supporting the changed licensed version, then "donating" the unmaintained version to the community.


Has Google ever done this before though? I'm not much of a fan of Google either, but they tend to just abandon products outright rather than relicence them.


No, you need to use -nw with emacs to make it apples to apples. Then it's emacs 0m0.095s vs nvim 0m0.057s:

    $ time nvim -es --cmd 'vim.cmd("q")'

    real 0m0.057s
    user 0m0.016s
    sys 0m0.017s

    $ time emacs -Q -e kill-emacs

    real 0m0.230s
    user 0m0.165s
    sys 0m0.064s

    $ time emacs -nw -Q -e kill-emacs

    real 0m0.095s
    user 0m0.057s
     sys 0m0.017s


Shouldn't matter when I am not on GUI seat. In my SSH session with X11 forwarding there is no DISPLAY emacs could use.

Tried it anyways, looks the same:

  $ time emacs -nw -Q -e kill-emacs
  real    0m0.075s
  user    0m0.062s
  sys     0m0.013s


s/with/without/


I use an emacs based system with org-mode, org-habits, and howm.


I am an org-mode user myself, but I find the lack of inherent structure pretty paralysing and have built-up complex nested trees of tasks and org-roam notes that I haven't looked at in years. I fear org-agenda and the many year-long incomplete tasks I have been putting off.

I know this is probably not something that a tech tool will fix on its own, but do you mind sharing your config and how you converged to something that worked?


I think they are saying you sound like:
