wow just wow while i can’t say i didn’t see this one coming but it always amazes me where greed could lead someone
Honestly, using uBO (which is really the only blocker anyone should be using) I never see those popups anyway. And that list apparently causes unintended connections to google servers (warning, there’s some drama in this issue between the ublock dev and the list’s dev, but gorhill comes off more reasonable here.)
So really, just turn on most of the filter lists in uBO settings as per your need and you should be good to go.
I didn’t know anything about the drama. Thanks for the heads up, will investigate.
lol I’ve seen plenty of social media drama, but this is probably the most hilarious drama I’ve ever seen. Imagine getting into a fight on the GitHub issue tracker. 😆
It’s happened a couple of times by now, last time was the developer of node-ipc being roasted for shipping malware in production that thrashed hard drives if it detected a Russian IP address
Discussion at the end degrades into name calling
oh, it happens all the time lol
a great recent-ish example is the time some kid PR’ed a dumb readme edit to an Unreal Engine repo which was used only for making people sign a TOS before getting access to the engine’s source code, which led to… this.
lol this is hilarious. I feel bad for Rohith, but the fact that it was possible for such a mistake to even be made is hilarious. The people being rude to him in the replies though all suck.
