From the release notes: "audio/video .ogg and .pdf files handled by Firefox *if no application specified*" (emphasis added).

Does the bloat in the browser go away the moment I install Sumatra?

I am an online advertising / tracking company. How do I stop Privacy Badger from blocking me? ...
If copies of Privacy Badger have already blocked your domain, you can unblock yourself by promising to respect the Do Not Track header in a way that conforms with the user's privacy policy.

Riiight, because the kind of scumbags who actively develop techniques to get around user preferences are the kind who would never "promise to behave this time, honest!".

If the EFF is that naive, I don't have much faith that I can count on their tool.

Comment Re:I have a solution for the free apps. (Score 1) 139

I used several of those options: my local DNS periodically imports the MVPS list as a local blacklist, and adblockplus wasn't too bad. If it wasn't for many other issues I had that made KitKat a non-starter, I probably would have kept the Nexus instead of replacing my dead Evo 4G with a refurbished Evo 4G. :)

I'm well aware of the moral of the story (I've been dating a historian for 12 years, and my awareness of it still impresses her).

I didn't say anything about historical reality, I said that crediting "feminism" with the concept was nuts, and implied that just because something is in the OT doesn't make it good/right/accurate/worth a damn (and it sure as hell has fuckall to do with "historical reality").

Comment Re:Long term jobs are rare and getting rarer. (Score 2) 282

#2 is mostly but not entirely true. I've been at my current job for nearly 7 years now (and have no intention of leaving as long as the doors stay open) for just that reason: It's a very small software company, and the pay is below market (especially given the number of DevOps hats I wear), but it's more than enough to live on, and the bosses DO treat me with the same loyalty and respect I give them.

Apparently, I work in Narnia.
