I haven’t done it in a couple, but I used to have a “trick or treat” table and a “trick or drink” table. You got to choose one. If I was even a little sus, you were carded, that was rare, and never actually caught anyone cheating anyhow. Takes a lot of prep work though.
Several major subs have closed, they’re forced to campaign to keep mods, a significant amount of content generators have left. Even though it’s been only a couple weeks, they’ve slid on the global index of visited sites. They’ve lost 3-4% of 1.7 billion views in weeks. That’s 10’s of millions of ads not delivered. That alone is several million dollars lost on a site trying to be profitable. This doesn’t include people on the fence, people currently unaffected because their app didn’t die until this week, or people just watching the drama until it’s boring again. Also, Reddit depends heavily on free labor to succeed, the bulk of the community that is leaving is their free labor pool. They don’t have the cash to pay moderators for their time and they just removed the tools that let those people do their work.
I’m curious why you think it was Firefox. In any situation, US based mobile networks, on a practical scale, top out around 140M per second in very robust, and not highly deployed environments. Usually those will be highlighted as 5G Ultra Wideband (Verizon’s term i think) or something. Even in the best environment, that’s still more than 1.5 hours of maximum data usage. You would be throttled back way before this point, so you’re not looking at something you did suddenly. It’s likely weeks of effort.
Are you watching a lot of YouTube, TikTok, porn, or some other video service in your browser lately? If not, then it’s not likely you’re browser. If you are, I’d recommend getting the app specific to the service you’re using. They can sometimes leverage non- standard codecs to reduce bandwidth usage while streaming. Also turn off autoplay on videos during your doom scrolls.
It’s pretty useful at work because I can separate the about riddled with sales trackers from asking for quotes from my “how do I do X” profile. It can change the results a fair bit. On one I’ll get tons of Enterprise professional services, the other recommends a lot of FOSS results.
I don’t work in hardly anything touching a front end, but shouldn’t you support all major browsers for your rendering? So, checking it in several browsers all the time.
I totally get the difference between should and do, so honestly asking. There is shit I should do, and there is shit that there is time to do. Checking all browsers on all updates may not be it.
If you’re still using Chrome… What was it like hitting retirement age before 2008?
Jokes aside, Chrome really is the bottom of my list in the last several years. I’ve gotten the best functionality out of Firefox in the last while. Anyone else different?
