i think programmer humor is supposed to be more specific than "any humor related to anything made by programmers"

I think they're talking about taking down Flock cameras (spyware installed in public places by some for-profit corpo)

your claim was "that's not a fuckin thing in the least", so if they exist even in "weird places", your claim was wrong.

i don't think business hours and reviews are the main google maps has a monopoly. as someone who occasionally uses both google maps and openstreetmap, the main reason i use google maps is because it's just more reliable - some points of interest aren't on openstreetmap, and its search doesn't work consistently. i rarely actually use google maps for business hours, and never reviews.

this isn't practical. we can disable some javascript but disabling it entirely would prevent us from using almost all websites, many of which we're forced to by our employers, governments, etc

The end of my usage was about one year ago. I'd tried several other clients in the years prior (Fractal, Nheko, Mirage, and some others I forgot the names of) but all of them had their own major issues, severe enough to eventually drive me back to Element

It's certainly possible the ecosystem has matured somewhat since then, but I would be skeptical because I think the root of the problem was not that these projects were too young, but that the protocol was too complex for anyone to implement properly, much like the web

Ah, good memories... Halo was a big part of my childhood. A couple years ago I even bought an OG xbox and CRT TV just so I could share the original experience with my ex, who had never played it before. which wasn't financially responsible of me, but I can't say I fully regret it. Took him through the whole series up to 4.
