Hacker news is filled with self obsessed tech bros who pretend they are "libertarian" but are actually just racists. Look at this entire thread about pedantic rambling about a single word. Blacklist -> blocklist is not censorship, some random slippery slope fallacy, the end of civilisation etc. It's such a non issue just to change it to make some people happier there should not be thousands of racist comments about it. Maybe you don't notice if you only stick to technical topics, but as soon as it becomes something cultural its a clusterfuck.

I've posted this before, but you can achieve the same with uBlock Origin static filters alone without having to install any additional extensions. For example: To block results from specific domains on Google or DDG: google.*##.g:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"]) duckduckgo.*##.results > div:has(a[href*="thetopsites.com"]) And it's even possible to target an element's text content with a `:has-text(/regex/)` selector:…

Yesssss, thank you so much!! Goodbye quora, stackshare, slant, etc. Finally.

Except that there are no other interpretations of the words "christian" and "muslim", where it's quite clear you're referring to specific religions. Black and white are colors. _You_ are making the leap from color to ethnicity. At the end you claim you "have no problem with that", and yet you're all over this discussion proclaiming the same weak argument. Seems like you have quite a problem with it.

> Black and white are colors. _You_ are making the leap from color to ethnicity. Except that we're not living in a hypothetical bubble but a world where white and black make many people think of skin color, I feel like it's hard to deny that at least in NA.

Don't project your neurotic racist thoughts onto others. Not everyone is as racist and neurotic as this. You're poorly attempting to gas light everyone into thinking this neurotically. Stop it.

Does anyone know how to manage firefox extension's permission?

This extension asks permissions to "Access for my data for google.*" and optionally "Access my data for all websites". However, I don't want to give it access to the data for all websites. It is insane.

I want to have stricter permission control. For example, since I only use google and duckduckgo, I want to give this extension access for the data for google and duckduckgo.

No it's not. List of filesystem blocks? List of block devices? Or use blacklist, a word that has a definition that predates modern computing and non-English speakers can quickly translate using any old translator, dictionary, etc.

if you don't know what either a blacklist or blocklist is, the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean yes block has 1 other meaning, but that pales compared to black which doesn't have the descriptive meaning in the first place

>block has 1 other meaning

Wrong. A list of blocked processes?

>the word blocklist is significantly easier to glean

No it's not. If you don't know what "blacklist" means, you can pick up any dictionary from the 1700s and later and get a definition.

At first I thought he was just misinformed and tried to politely correct them, but now I see that they really just try to provoke people and using arguments of similar structures to the ones caring so much about displaying the Confederate Flag "because it's part of their American history".

Yes, obviously because I disagree with your word banning I must be one of those confederate flag waving rednecks. It would be impossible for me to be a lifelong liberal voter with a track record of donating to liberal causes, a certificate in LGBTQ studies and a history of activism on a variety of issues. Sensible people can have sensible disagreements. Jumping to insulting people who disagree with you and tarring th…

Not "must" but bayesian statistics would argue it likely. Just as it would be highly unusual for somebody who generally supports progressive social ideas to loudly oppose language changes which are generally agreed to be anti-racist. If you do fall into this tiny minority, it would be fascinating to understand how you justify this apparent dissonance.

Per domain, but not per feature. Matrix let you specify whether to block images, cookies, script, etc for each domain from the UI.

How often does one want to individually allow specific 3rd-party cookies+images? uBlock already allows control over specific 3rd party scripts.

Often, which is why people like me still use uMatrix.

Perhaps amortizing really high salaries. $1M/month for a chief metrics officer or something.

Kagi is completely bootstrapped. It has basically 10 developers and me doing everything else. No managers. The expense is low as humanely possible as still coming out of my own pocket.

I didn’t know Kagi was bootstrapped. As a fellow bootstrapper, it makes me like Kagi even more. Good luck in the future. I think you really have something here so I hope the monetization strategy works.

I wonder if I'm the rare minority who doesn't mind sites like geeksforgeeks because I don't use them as authoritative reference but just to lookup/double-check syntax and/or code examples. Their information isn't great but the code snippet is right there which ironically might not be the case with sites that have dense information but are low on examples. However, when I need the gory details, I just visually skip geeksforgeeks and its ilk from the search results.

Maybe we need a enable/disable toggle in uBlocklist to cater to the above "modes" of search.
