Firefox and ublock origin... no ads. I avoid youtube on my mobile device as it's a lot more difficult to control the ads there.

I see many many F-150 lightnings in Canada (Quebec at least) used by construction people. Are there any country or more detailed stats on where F-150s were sold?

I haven't used autocomplete in over 20 years. Why does this even need an autocomplete? The "API" is dead simple.

I have a fully functional iPad mini for my kids that only supports iOS 12. I can barely install or use any software though because it's not supported on such an old OS.

I think the major version change is more of a celebratory thing with Ruby being 30 years as of 2025.

I've been a normal user of Firefox for over 20 years.

I've had good success with Turbo (previously Turbolinks). The newer versions (ie. Turbo) really fixed up the shortcomings of the older versions (ie. Turbolinks) and I enjoy using it.

Any big reason to use HTMX instead? Is Turbo not really discussed much because of it's association to RoR?

uBlock Origin! Years and years of not seeing spam like that.

Tommy's still at it!

I reloaded a second time and it worked in Firefox. First time, the circle loaded and then nothing. After it loaded, I saw no issues.

I had to load the site a second time in Firefox to get it working. So, try again?

I saw many billboard ads on Portugal (Europe) highways. As a Canadian, it seemed like a lot.

I used to live and breath C++ early 2000s, but haven't touched it since. I can't make sense of modern C++.

I'm pretty sure you mean @@ on a variable and are not common in a Ruby project. @@ is a class variable and I can see that causing all sorts of problems with data across sessions.

My niche questions are never answered correctly by AI. I'm led down false rabbit holes. Stack overflow still provides much better answers for me overall.

People wear appropriate clothing for the weather. Those temperatures are no reason to stop biking. People do not "literally" freeze when it's below 0.

I really enjoy biking in Quebec city. I don't have as much experience with Montreal, but I can see how QC is a top spot.

The rovers are controlled remotely, so imagine playing a video game where your inputs lag by upwards of 40 minutes and you can't crash.

Nani Banani, Nanu Bananu, Nano Banano...

Ruby dev since 2000 and looks like refinements have been available since 2.4. I just used them for the first time this year. Definitely not a go to feature for me, but it was nice the feature was available.

80s/90s kids dealt with this with almost all their games

Reinforces the A in AI... "artificial" intelligence. Actual intelligence could pick up a new language no problem.

100% tariff on a few micrograms of aluminum shouldn't break the bank ;)

Yes, the you can put "thick" insulation over top of any buried plumbing and the exposed bottom will gain geothermal heat from the below and it can prevent freezing.

10ft below ground is enough to take advantage of geothermal heat. You don't have to go "very far" to reach warmer soil in winter because the soil PLUS the snow on top is pretty much just insulating the deeper ground from the cold air.

Start getting into permafrost though where the cold is more constant and that cold layer gets deeper.

I do all my dev in Firefox and rarely test in Chrome. I've been made aware of maybe a handful of issues over many many years doing it this way. If it works in Firefox, 99.9% of the time, it's also working in Chrome.

I had static on my TV well into the 90's.

They're literally translating from French to English because they don't know any better. In French you open and close lights and all other electronics... that's just how it works. On and off isn't a thing. So it's not it's own form of English, it's French people making mistakes.

Those are British words which Canada uses a lot of.

Quebec has it's own dictionary.
