OP is replying to a video titled 'why modern movies suck'. So OP is not referring to nostalgia. It's more a reaction to 'old times wow, now sucks'.

If the video was titled 'Why I love these old films', then your reply makes sense.

Obviously I was referring to 'everything else is just tech junk at this point'.

If FF didn't do that, it would still be a security nightmare. XULs are available in some FF forks, which are security nightmares.

Are you that guy who gives free M1s to those who can't afford it to reduce humanity's junk?

The thinking is that when something says it's an adblocker, it has one job - blocking ads. ABP doesn't do that, hiding behind the euphemism 'acceptable ads'. It would be ok if they promote it as a 'selective blocker' instead of 'adblocker'. It would also be ok if they say adblocker and the acc. ads thingy is opt-in. If Mozilla did something to highlight something that had one job to do and did it, I'm thankful.

P.S: Ublock Origin is not just an adblocker. It can block various types of content.

He doesn't pfft anything, that much is clear from the very first 2 paragraphs. Also this is from 2019, before M1. Next time, at least read a bit of the article.

To be fair, shouldn't the Intel 12th gen laptop processors be compared to these upcoming AMD models?:

AMD Ryzen 5 6600U

AMD Ryzen 7 6800U

Both are Zen 3+ with RDNA 2.

For laptops, add upcoming HP Elitebook 8xx G9 series (has Intel and AMD) to your list to check out. No idea whether it's good.

This is the year of 16:10 screen ratio laptops. Also 16 inch laptop screens. Because of Apple's latest macbooks maybe.

Excited about upcoming HP Elitebook 805 G9 series with AMD chips. Not sure about Linux support - maybe fedora and it's spins work fine.

Android 12 has it too.

Is there a go-to library for this thing? So many apps mess this up.

Telegram fixed it one or two weeks ago, problably because of the war.

Whoa whoa talk about AdBlock Plus and integrity!

AdBlock Plus seems to whitelist your ads if you pay them millions [1][2]. The euphemism ABP (and their parent company Eyeo) uses is 'acceptable ads'. Acceptable to Eyeo I guess. It's opt-out at the users end.

OP knows all about this [3][4].

I'm not a fan of some of Mozilla's policies but I'm thankful if it's true that Ublock Origin is shown preference over the shady, user-disrespecting ABP.
