Only as fallback for when a website is built on the latest hype and shiny baubles instead of actual web standards, and doesn't work with Pale Moon (even with user agent set to Mozilla).

Otherwise, Pale Moon has been working on just about all websites I encounter for many years with the original uBlock and eMatrix extensions. And that with less resources.

Comment Needs a better results page (Score 1) 38

Things that bother me at the results page are:
  - font size of text too large
  - left drawer sidebar wasting space
  - right "other searches" sidebar wasting space
  - not aware of browser window size, thus not fitting inside
  - sticky search bar
  - "to go further" section repeatign when displaying more results
  - dynamic search suggestions from search bar
  - add an "all languages" option to filter out unwanted local language results

They could learn a thing or two from Duckduckgo on customising the page or labeling CSS sections as to enable hiding through uBlock for a more simplified search page.
The way it is now, I don't feel compelled to use it when it returns only a handful of results each time compared to maybe slightly worse but more in DDG.

Correct, as anyone can see by looking at who they rounded up.

"Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

Because I was not a trade unionist "

But in the next state over, the next company will also treat you as badly as they can get away with.

The natural model for a programmer's union is the Screen Actor's Guild. That's another field with a wide range of talent. SAG members can get the best pay their agents can negotiate, lots for stars. But everyone is protected from exploitation.

While she's not wrong, saying it to graduates....Not the best idea.

It will be transformative, and not everyone will benefit. Some are getting screwed right out of the gate. The demise of the Newspaper industry seems an app comparison. That was just a little slower in its disruption. And journalists could migrate to new media outlets. But now even that is at risk. And it's not just them.

If everything that can be affected is, many entry level jobs will be gone. People with valid entry level skills can be replaced. And there are corporations already laying off people, prematurely in my opinion. The economy doesn't work if people can't make money for their work. And if the people don't have money, bad things can/will happen.

I'm currently safe in my position, currently. But I'm not taking that for granted. My experience helps me at the moment, but, you get an AI in here, let it read all our docs, and explore the system...who knows?

The best I can say to the kids currently in college, get in front of it. Learn how to use it appropriately, use it as a tool and it can help. To me just like a hammer, using it correctly, it's helpful, in correctly, you can hurt your self, ruin a project. But putting your head in the sand, and pretending it's nothing, that will hurt you.
