this seems to be the theme of the season mateys

wow just wow while i can't say i didn't see this one coming but it always amazes me where greed could lead someone
Honestly, using uBO (which is really the only blocker anyone should be using) I never see those popups anyway. And that list apparently causes unintended connections to google servers (warning, there's some drama in this issue between the ublock dev and the list's dev, but gorhill comes off more reasonable here.)
So really, just turn on most of the filter lists in uBO settings as per your need and you should be good to go.
lol I've seen plenty of social media drama, but this is probably the most hilarious drama I've ever seen. Imagine getting into a fight on the GitHub issue tracker. 😆
It's happened a couple of times by now, last time was the developer of node-ipc being roasted for shipping malware in production that thrashed hard drives if it detected a Russian IP address
Discussion at the end degrades into name calling
This was quite interesting and also incredibly cringe on the dev's part.
oh, it happens all the time lol
a great recent-ish example is the time some kid PR'ed a dumb readme edit to an Unreal Engine repo which was used only for making people sign a TOS before getting access to the engine's source code, which led to.... this.
lol this is hilarious. I feel bad for Rohith, but the fact that it was possible for such a mistake to even be made is hilarious. The people being rude to him in the replies though all suck.
Yeah, I feel the same. The consequences weren't even all that extreme. And more importantly, it's really not his fault that Epic set up the group that way, and the grown men malding and screaming at a child like melodramatic pissbabies are truly a clownshow. I laughed out loud at the "Lock it. Lock it now." guy - how can one sniff their own farts to such a degree?
Yeah. Seeing those things makes me wonder what it must be like to have them as coworkers.
I didn't know anything about the drama. Thanks for the heads up, will investigate.
No problem, I should be thanking you actually because I only found about this after seeing your comment and decided to look up the list to check if it works well with uBO
