Arc: How to make a browser ugly in 3 easy letters.

Does it work if you try any of the following:

• Using a fresh profile.
• Disabling your userChrome
• Formatting this post correctly

If “modern” means Android 5, sure.

Not bad for a mail client for the early 2000s.

Oh for sure criticism is valid, but it’s funny how people always forget all the actual good stuff being added, too.

In general, not just Firefox-specific. People constantly forget how while Google search results have gone to shit, empyrical analysis showed that it went to shit more for other search engines (meaning if anything Google got comparatively better, but of course everyone got worse across the board, too). People constantly forget over all their little issues how some countries, including mine, have swapped >50% of their energy (from ~0%) to green energy in just 10 or so years. It’s too easy to see only the negative things.

I dunno, finally getting vertical tabs is not exactly making me hesitant to celebrate, quite the opposite. Someone at Mozilla must have been a portrait-mode desktop monitor user, can’t understand the years-long resistance to this otherwise.

You mean like isolating cookies?

Like integration state partitioning for the entire browser context, user-controllable?

Like adding vertical tabs?

Like background wallpaper options for new tab independent of themes?

Like site translations?

Like working on tab groups?

Like working on tablet UI options?

Like … okay I’ll stop.

Like with red traffic lights vs green traffic lights, always keep in mind that your brain does not want to actively notice/recall things going well. It’s when things are annoying/interrupting that you remember.

So this then begs the question, why are people decrying games as “woke” trying so hard to push their political agenda into gaming discussions? After all, as per point 1 + point 3, the game was already criticized/panned anyways, then someone came in and tries to push the critique onto a political level instead of a game one.

Anyone got any good resource on how to get started developing addons from scratch?

Are there Jetbrains plugins or something to streamline the process?

So “woke” means all of the following together, trying to summarize:

• A game includes anything related to LGBTQ+ or political left-leaning ideology.
• The above is presented via non-gameplay elements. It’s fine if its in the gameplay.
• The game was a commercial flop or critically panned.

Did I sum that up correctly?

It’s a very overused and absolutely terrible use of a word.

For two reasons:

1. It has a predefined meaning, and if you read what the DA creators say, they’re not actually “slamming” it. While they’re pretty openly hostile - and for good reason - that’s a far cry from what someone “slamming” someone else or a quote would be.
2. It’s inclusion in the headline is for sensationalism, which would not be needed as the “You’re an idiot!”-quote already does that. Or maybe it’s just surprising how desensitivized people on the net are nowadays.

To think it further, consider the whole headline had been slam-ified:

Dragon Age GOATs slam “woke” lollerz: “Cry moar!”

Visuals are part of the experience, it’s not unrelated.

Why? Or rather, why this, but apparently not your character or their back story?

There are a lot of good games that can be considered as “woke” and no one talk about them like this.

[citation needed]

When they have no good material, they start to promote unrelated things to gameplay. This is just one of those things.

Didn’t YOU just say that people focus on the visuals of characters? As in, something unrelated to gameplay?

I have one problem with this:

slams

… siiiiigh

Aye, it has become another dogwhistle of the weirdo alt right crowd. It’s kinda helpful because whenever you see someone use it unironically, you can just safely block/ban them at no loss of conversation.

because the creators using it to hide their bad games

How does this work in particular? The hiding bit? Doesn’t it actually draw attention, considering how many people then spam “OMG SO WOKE!11!!angry-1!!” and so on threads everywhere?

Aye, let’s agree to respect each other’s opinion. No matter how wrong yours might be.

(joking of course, I actually like 2 a lot despite how clearly unfinished and rushed it was, although I really really disliked 3 except for the romances and the character interactions)

Oh I don’t disagree. When I worked in this stuff we usually snuck in that if you put in valid search query syntax (I think it was all Lucene based) then it got used as is. Was nice for us devs to debug shit.

Of course, anything else for used for a weighted fuzzy everything search, and the customers were always take happy with that (customers being the store owners). 🤷

Do you? Then how come examples like OP’s don’t really specify much.

Is that any keyword? All keywords? Where? Tags? Title? Name? Description? If all, do they all have to appear int he same field(s)? Anywhere? On the whole page including crosssellers?

This is what to mean: it’s easy to say “just search for exactly this!”, but what you intuitively think of as “exactly this” is not intuitive from the perspective of a search index. At all. So it gets preprocessed and changes before being used for a search, and in many cases, widened. Because we humans are very bad at putting in an accurate search such as: name:"60w" and description:"standby". We rarely do that.

There’s nothing in it for them, the simple fact is that the virtual all of people does not look for specific terms.

Hence the search is optimised to give you loads of things that relate to some parts of your search at least.

The search is incredibly fuzzy, plus the tag words of products themselves are fuzzy. And usually they don’t allow forcing a hard match search, though you can try + or and between each word. We had one site that allowed it, just use lucene search syntax.
