You misplaced "lunatics" in your sentence, though sadly the likely answer remains the same.

You can also adjust density, rounded corners, transparency, blur, etc.
Re:JSON Formatter Chrome Plugin Now Closed and Injecting Adware

Maybe but it's always been a problem. I've been receiving offers to monetize or sell my extension for over a decade.

I hope this means they're changing the main menu back to functioning like an actual menu instead of a weird panel thing, but somehow I doubt it.

Re:CSS Solves Auto-Expanding Textareas
on Saturday September 30, 2023 @03:32PM (#37718914)
Considering it still needs javascript, this trick seems massively overcomplicated compared to the following:
<textarea oninput="this.style.height = 0; this.style.height = this.scrollHeight + 'px'"></textarea>
(Yes it forces an extra reflow but it likely doesn't matter)

Yes, because the bill hasn't actually taken effect yet. Meta is blocking news preemptively, Google plans to do so later.
Re:Many temptations of an open-source Chrome extension developer
on Wednesday August 09, 2023 @05:03PM (#37068381)
Yep, I've been getting these emails since 2014, around 200 in total. My extension has had between 30,000 and 100,000 active users. They often quote up to $500 a month per 1000 users, which sounds too good to be true.

These tests just show the default settings. If you enable the ad blocker and disable third party cookies it would score a lot better.

Re:GitHub's New Code Search Is Bad for Finding Code

It often missed what should have been exact matches. You could copy and paste a variable name or a string from the repo and the search would not find it.

You can deny push notifications by default in your browser settings and never be prompted again. They can still be manually allowed on the sites where you actually want them. Same goes for location requests and other "site settings".

Aside, I've been waiting years for a favicon API, which Chrome has had from the start. It's a pretty glaring hole for any extension that displays bookmarks or history.
At least with Manifest V3 they finally triaged the issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315616

The Decentraleyes[1] and LocalCDN[2] extensions aim to do this in part. But the effectiveness is limited since they only have a handful of libraries and most sites bundle their javascript.

I still miss my BlackBerry, not just for the keyboard; the trackpad was far more precise and comfortable than a touch screen. No awkward reaching for controls at the top of the screen, no fat-fingering the wrong link.
I honestly think their biggest mistake was the BlackBerry-specific data plan requirement, not the slow entry to the touchscreen market.

I prefer the approach taken by nostr[1] and Scuttlebutt[2], where identity is a public key not tied to any particular server. However Mastodon is gaining a lot more traction and seems to be good enough in practice.

Finally! Coming from Windows this is something I've always missed.
I know older filesystems didn't support it but EXT4 has been the default for years now.
