I'll summarize it for you:
In mobile Safari forum
Oh. Seems like you should submit this to Apple then.

@ixvedeusi Because it's a Lunix partition tool
For similar reasons for un-adding addons can increase program size!

@ixvedeusi
Shouldn't it be more like 'Ok, Altavista' then?
-
@Gąska Supposedly, "Ok boomer" triggers the Google assistant when said by some people but not others.

@Zerosquare Speaking of Reddit, this is fucking infuriating:
The "59 more replies" link at the bottom shows a spinner and loads the replies inline. However, the "Continue this thread" links load a new copy of the comments section, with only that thread open.
e: Also, the comments loaded by the "more replies" link have their threads open down to 3, 4, 5, however many levels, like they should be in the first place.
-
@hungrier Also, I've had it happen quite often that it shows that "Continue reading thread" link but when you click it lands on a page which shows just that single comment.
Seriously guys, I don't care that moderation removed child posts, just keep your webscale database consistent!

@hungrier huh, I assumed that was a mobile thing, and just to force you into the app.

Yeah. I hate this "feature".

They already have this huge banner telling you how you can read this on their stupid app instead or you can just "continue" using mobile. I hate everyone who does this. Fuck off with your apps.

Thanks, Visual Studio. Now if you could tell me what preferences are overridden by .editorconfig, that would be nice...
Guess I'll just trial and editor it or something...

My guess? Everything that's in .editorconfig!

Found it.
Why would you do this?
Is this the reason all of the sudden there are a lot more files (the ones that have been modified since last time anyways) that have shittons of space characters on random lines?!?
Gorram it.

The ability to un-add addons would require an uninstaller or at least some method to un-select it from the program, which means more code, and thus a larger program size.

maybe they're embedding whitespace programs in your sourcecode and trimming the trailing whitespace would cause problems for the embedded language.

Status: Explorer++ (which is way in need of an update) displays the current folder name in the titlebar, as you do:
Apparently, it gets confused with certain folders:
Turns out, invalid memory should probably not be read, as navigating the folder caused a crash, probably due to the drive in which that folder resided being unmounted...

@Tsaukpaetra Engaging in Nintendo piracy, I see.

The EU (pronounced "Eeee-yeww") decided that it would be even funnier if they made the whole world click to agree with it.

@jinpa sometimes I wish they required a separate consent for each of the 4734 third party entities.

Don't give them any ideas.

This, but unironically.
-
@topspin it was unironically.
@jinpa think about it this way. People are okay with clicking "agree" once. Also twice. Maybe even thrice. But would they be okay with clicking 20 times? By extension - would a website have any chance of becoming even remotely popular if it required clicking "agree" 20 times?

Also, the icon next to the message does something other than refreshing.
Also, that's a fantastic website.

@hungrier I thought I'd never find something more annoying than infiniscroll. But damn, this reverse infiniscroll is pure genius!
-

Quantcast has been getting on my nerves lately. They have a button to consent to everything, of course, but if you want to say to all the parties you have to click 512 individual switches.
Unless you're JS savvy and know
$('.qc-cmp-toggle').click()
-
@Gąska And hey, speaking of infini-scroll
Chromium-based browsers (or at least Opera) have a feature where if you click on the non-close-button part of a tab, it'll take you to the top of the page. Clicking it again after you
accidentallydo that will take you back to the place you were before. Easy and convenient, if only marginally useful. Except for websites that infini-scroll, which will take you up to the top of the page (or in the case of , some arbitrary location up the thread) and then nowhere else.

This is standard business practice right now, and has been ever since GDPR went live. But imagine if law mandated that each of these switches had to be turned ON individually...

What the fuck.
Because I've opened a couple of tabs on this website, both the privacy policy page and the cookie policy page are blocked by a popup saying I need to register to be able to "continue accessing their exclusive content". This popup is also blocking the popup at the bottom which would otherwise let me accept their cookies.
Let me be extra clear on this: the only three pages I visited were their homepage, and the privacy and cookie policy pages, which I didn't even get to scroll.

This technique of encouraging social action through legislation has limitless possibilities! The greatest invention since the lever!

@jinpa sure, let the banks write whatever they want in those mortgage agreements!

If there's some relation between that and what I said, I'm not seeing it.

It sounded like the typical libertarian take that government should stop regulating things, if every single bank hammers you with 200 pages of one-sided legalese it’s your own problem you need services.
-
@topspin as a note, at least in the US, much of that legal verbiage stems from government regulations and screwy judicial decisions, not banks trying to be greedy. Like the Internet, the financial system routes around damage. Just with paperwork and red tape.
-
@Benjamin-Hall and many of those legal regulations stem from the many ways the banks have invented to screw over their customers.

I wish Grumpy had pages or some way to mark you place instead of infini-scroll. I want to read all the previous content but it looks like I'll have to do it all in one sitting or else memorize where I am and scroll for 14 hours to find it again.
