I can (it's really obvious here) and wish I couldn't. Every time I run into something I might wanna read, but it turns out to be LLM "assisted" writing after I've already invested some time, it feels like I was tricked into eating cardboard.

And when I bring up that this should be clearly marked, preferably up front, it's often taken as a personal slight.

I realize this is a me problem to some extend, I shouldn't feel strongly about this, but I do.

Before anyone gets too excited about ntsync, the performance gains are (with few exceptions) mild, usually in the lower single percentage range. These extreme gains are the result of benching against vanilla wine without fsync, anyone playing demanding games on linux would have been doing so using fsync. This is mentioned in the article but treated like a side note. I've been running benchmarks between both and while the performance increase is real, please temper your expectations. A few titles might also run slightly worse.

It's certainly distracting and toggle would be nice, but a uBO filter does the trick in the meanwhile.

Just letting you know, both stylish extension and with it userstyles.org have been largely left behind by the community due to past transgressions like tracking site visits. While that's mostly in he past afaik, they've been superseded by the stylus extension and userstyles.world

The no-addon workaround for this is to right click any tab, first select all tabs and then bookmark all tabs. Give the folder a name and open it in the bookmark manager. Now you can select them all and copy the URLs.

It's an awkward solution, but it does work and is relatively quick.

Here's the original source by the author: https://scribe.rip/@bobbyrsec/the-dangers-of-googles-zip-tld...

While I think that we really don't need a .zip domain, this trick falls apart when not shown as an image. Hovering over either URL should tip you off. Firefox shows the actual link in the bottom left.

For those who haven't played the game, it should be noted that the game is nothing like what the pitch implies.

PS:T is a well written and introspective RPG and in this capacity it is rivaled by only a handful of contenders.

While I'm not sure about the privacy advantages, setting network.dnsCacheEntries to 0 will prevent firefox from caching dns.

There's no appreciable difference in response time on my setup, it just hits the local dnscrypt-proxy cache instead.

I was about to write up this exact post, almost verbatim. Excellent game sense can seem like you're able to predict the future. Someone who thinks they're "bad at FPS games" usually runs into a lack of game sense, but mistakenly blames it on bad reflexes.

This is one of those things you'd better do with a userscript instead of yet another addon. Way more flexible too.
