it is more sustainable to pay for your small chunk of a network than to pay for a monolith that encompasses everything
Except it is, they used to have a good quality crawler that didn't prioritize machine-generated SEO slop from content farms. Within the first page and without adding terms like site:reddit.com, -site:pinterest.com -site:quora.com or before:2016 you could easily get what you wanted.
Nope, they promised us an innovative, highly flexible RPG with a massive amount of content with pretty much a decade of development time and instead gave us yet another buggy AAA dumpster fire on rails that didn't deliver. I have pretty much sworn off 97% of AAA games. I mostly play indies whenever I have time and energy to play.
I remember SMW Central having small, non-intrusive, user-created paid banners at the top. I always make an ad blocker exception for them.
Reddiquette and the disclosing of how much server time was paid for by Reddit gold. Both previously disclosed to the users and now missing.
Imagine you have a bunch of island countries. Each country needs to communicate with other countries for several affairs and to trade. A network connection is a route where boats transit back and forth between two said countries with people and things. The location of each island is encoded with a unique address, called an IP (Internet Protocol) address. The thing is, each country also has a huge, massive amount of different sea ports. A big amount of them. To be precise, 65536 different ones.
Each port number is associated with a service or a city that benefits from said sea traffic and expects boats. So to send a boat from one country to another, you need to send that boat from a specific port to a specific port in country (IP address). For example, port 80 is Website City in Google Land. You need to google something / send and receive boats with cargo (your search query). You have to send a boat from your own port 80 (Firefox Town) to Google Land (IP address of a Google server)'s own port 80 which is located in Website City.
Each network connection is a series of sea trips between cities.
Can confirm. Firefox, uBlock Origin and Stylus.
Noobs gotta research a little like they did back in the early 2010s, ever since that stopped happening the quality of discussions went down immensely. I do not oppose a little bit of attitude-based gatekeeping.
True, not having karma is detrimental for advertisers and excellent for users. Let's hope it never gets introduced.
There are also preset schemes.
True black background for OLED displays, AOSP Mods suite for 3 columns on quick settings, split WiFi/Data toggles, better scaling options for launchers, Lineage trebuchet launcher and derivatives, isolate apps like Google Calculator and Gboard off networking, theme engine tweaks for better generated colors and more.
They removed the classic theme and I'm still pissed because you can't quite get it back.
