rnvhhynr··on Building a RISC-V PC
Why a video instead of text + photos?
rnvhhynr··on Facebook adds 5 divs, 9 spans and 30 CSS classes to every post in the timeline
I agree with your general point, but there's no paid version of Facebook that shows no ads and doesn't sell your info. (And, if there was, I'm sure it would bomb.)
rnvhhynr··on Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
With an ad blocker on your browser, you can skip all ads. If you're afraid of getting banned and losing your playlists, then create your playlists using one Spotify account, set them as collaborative, then import them from another Spotify account, and run them from there.

I've tried VSCode but it seems to require you to install Go... It can't even find the declaration of a variable or the definition of a function without Go, while Sublime can.
rnvhhynr··on A touchpad is not a mouse, or at least not a good one
Linux, that's even worse. At least Synaptics on Windows comes with a control panel, on Linux you're stranded reading a man page, writing a file and putting it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, then restarting Xorg a thousand times until you get it right.

And then if you're using libinput instead of synaptics, which is the default on most distros now... just forget about it, because whatever you need is simply not implemented yet.

Using Linux on the desktop is a self-inflicted wound, and I can't believe this guy would write such a post saying that "trackpads sucks" when he uses Linux. Doing that is at best dishonest and at worst malicious.

Your problem is that you're using a bad trackpad with Windows; the fact that your computer has a bad trackpad and you're using Windows doesn't make trackpads bad.

Also many of the things you complain about would be solved if you learnt to use your keyboard instead of using mouse gestures.

What's a good IDE for Go? Something that's snappy and fast, no Java dinosaurs please
rnvhhynr··on No Thank You, Mr. Pecker
It just says 403 here in Europe.

Someone without that net worth won't be blackmailed by the US and Saudi governments.
rnvhhynr··on Spotify bans ad blockers in updated Terms of Service
Maybe I'm missing something here. If I run an ad blocker, it's because I don't have a paid account, and if I don't have a paid account, what do I care if you ban me, when I can just create a new account?
