In "Medium Mode" you can set it to allow JS (or not) but block all third party JS/frames. Then you can selectively enable domains per page.

I would counter the NoScript suggestion and just use uBlock Origin's JS blocker. You can default all sites to off, and then enable it on sites you wish to grant permission to run arbitrary code in your web browser. You can do a lot more than that with uBlock Origin, too.

I guess libertarians are lucky it's not called Hayekism or something because then they'd be subject to a bunch of inane comments about adultery, infidelity, and "how can you support someone who married his cousin?"

Though on second thought that would be kind of fun and funny.

Remembering when the CIA set up a fake humanitarian vaccine program in Pakistan to steal DNA from people to find bin Laden. They didn't even actually fulfill the vaccine part, either.

I wonder if Barron can do that forward leaning stance without tipping over, though. I suspect his dad's still got him beat on that one.

Rust is a great language but it really has a lot of up-front costs. Whether you are learning it for the first time, or starting a new project, both. Python is always going to be faster "from idea to deployment."

I think like the other person said, start with the Rust book. It really is a perfectly good introduction. But what I think you'll find is if you want to be productive with Rust you will need to get the ground rules down or else you will be constantly tripping on the borrow checker and ownership rules. If you think you are getting somewhere with the book, try rewriting something you've done in Python. If that works out, great! If not, it's OK to accept that Rust might not be worth your time.

I'm looking forward to the inexplicable pressure implosion at 1 atm

I think the "upsell" (Lord help me for calling it this) is that it integrates with Office365, or in a corporate environment, AD. So by provisioning it once you have every component interconnected. If you're used to Edge at home you will not be hesitant to want to use it at work. To say nothing about getting non-corporate home users into Bing and, ideally, Microsoft's OpenAI-ified Bing.

It's all very nasty work.

I just tried EndeavourOS with XFCE on a really old laptop and it works quite well. Xfce lacks some niceties that Gnome or KDE would provide, but its stability and reliability are unquestionable.

Mr. Patrick Henry, I think I'll take the Death option, now. Thank you.

I suspect this isn't even a contest. Kdenlive is just really good.
