Do you use E2B or E4B?

I’d say it’s very easy to hurt someone with pixels on the screen by spreading these generated images of actual people online.

Local software could be stealing plaintext secrets from your encrypted disk. Physical access is not the only attack vector.

> In general, of 3rd party blockers, uBlock Origin isn't even the best, AdGuard is.

Why? I thought uBlock Origin on Firefox was the most effective combination available (assuming that you use the same filter lists).

It runs on another device and connects to the YouTube app(s) as a client.

HDR photos taken on iOS or Android devices are displayed as SDR images when opened on Windows. The gain map that they contain (see ISO 21496-1) is ignored. Before the ISO standard it didn’t even work between iOS and Android. This is what OP’s frustration is about.

What you are taking about is also called HDR, but has nothing to do with what the other person is talking about. The other person is talking about the still image equivalent of HDR video formats. When displayed on an HDR capable monitor, it will map the brightest parts of the image to the extended headroom of the monitor instead of tone mapping it to be displayed on a standard SDR monitor. So to be even more clear: it defines brightness levels beyond what is normally 100%.

Apparently I was wrong about that part. Only the part about cents still being legal tender was correct. So you can pay the exact amount, but not demand the exact change.

In the Netherlands cash payments get rounded to the nearest 5 cents, in both directions. Card payments are not rounded. If I’m not mistaken, you can still demand exact change according to the law and you’re allowed to pay the exact amount (cents are still legal tender). Most merchants wouldn’t be able to give you exact change, so it depends on the situation what would happen. I’ve never heard of such a situation happening, though.

> You could also have a Safari content blocker with an optional WebExtension for additional functionality with no usage of DeclarativeNetRequest.

That’s exactly what AdGuard and some other content blockers do. The result is that content blocking works everywhere, but it’s most effective in Safari. As a user, I prefer that over the approach of uBlock Origin Lite, which is a pure WebExtension and doesn’t do anything outside of Safari. Too bad, because I prefer using uBlock Origin on other platforms.

Without having any experience with the APIs to back up my claim, I believe that the WebExtensions API is more powerful in the sense that it allows more complex blocking rules. AdGuard seems to include both options simultaneously, where you have "advanced protection" (WebExtensions API) that only works in Safari and separate blocking lists (old API) that work in both Safari and WebView. This is precisely what keeps me from using uBlock Origin Lite.

I got RSI using a touchpad, which then transferred to using a normal mouse. I couldn’t do anything with a mouse for longer than a few minutes. I completely fixed it with a DXT Mouse 2 (and later 3).

My normal (mechanical) keyboard doesn’t give me any issues, as long as it’s narrow enough (75% layout or less) that I can keep my mouse close enough to the center of my body that I don’t have to rotate my shoulder outwards too much.

My natural resting position on my keyboard is with both arms coming in diagonally without bending at the wrists. I do a lot of work on the terminal, including programming, so I’m using it quite intensively and I never feel any strain.

I tried to get used to a split orthogonal keyboard, but I couldn’t use it for extended periods without getting RSI like symptoms. Would I have persisted, I might have gotten used to it. Or maybe it just wasn’t the right one for me.

Anyway, this is not to counter any of the things you said, because I basically followed the same path with my mouse, but it shows how different postures and usage patterns can lead to different outcomes. I’m still interested in ergonomic keyboards, though, and I might try one again in the future.
