    Good for Jeff. He got his bag, and now he can focus on passion projects outside the rigidity of a corporate environment.

    UOL is cope. It doesn't have all the features that make UBO great. If your browser requires you to install a stripped-down version of a great adblocker, it's time to switch.

    It's not. Brave is built on Chromium, and the underlying engine doesn't allow uBlock Origin to function completely. The solution is to use Firefox.

    This kind of seething is not unusual because it's the same gripes any hardcore nerd has when Hollywood adapts his hobby or interest for a mass audience.

    It has this smarmy ignorance about it. There's a bizarre amount of factual errors as to what's in the film.

    Here's the thing: she didn't watch the movie.

    For someone who claims understanding of the original text, it's deeply odd how it seems like she barely watched the movie.

    There's no reason to ever pre-order a game. Alas, normies will continue to do so in droves, emboldening triple-A game studios to continue the practice.

    With company leaders feeling confident about weaponizing RTO to reduce headcount and AI to replace workers, full-time remote work is slowly becoming extinct. For the good ones that remain -- high pay, no risk of RTO, good work-life balance -- they're not found on job boards but through connections.
