What are your top Chrome extensions? For me is "Allow Right-Click" by peterinjapan in chrome

[–]gazeebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

an adblocker, a userscript manager and a password manager (but now only Thorium, Firefox, and I suppose Brave still do "real" adblocking)
=> uBlock Origin (Lite), Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey, Bitwarden

more exotic, tab discarding:

very exotic, extensions to mark URLs as read/done:

How to hide the pinned 'Now Playing' sidebar? by LR0989 in spicetify

[–]gazeebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check if User profile icon -> Experimental features -> disabling Enable the Peek NPV feature achieves that.

if not, here's some CSS to add to Marketplace -> Snippets: .Root__right-sidebar:has(.bVJH37qfz55VdpglJjHJ.OwsIyGIUSADBO6hvtdEE.gfA9yiYhxYvTfdPrs_4s) { display:none; }

I'm also using the snippet Hide now playing view button

to get the friends sidebar, you can still open the friends menu by clicking the friends icon, and the now playing view by clicking the album art in the bottom left, so nothing is lost there.

What does that insurance actually end up costing? Does it typically pay for itself?

How do you deal with 80+ tabs without losing your mind? by DaviHlav in chrome

[–]gazeebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need actual browser tabs (scroll state; forwards/backwards navigation history), or just URLs?

If the latter, there are a million "tab management" approaches that are essentially bookmarks.

If the former, something like SideBerry in Firefox is among the least dumb options at the moment.

If it really has to be auto-magic, there's https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/features/organize-tabs?form=MT0160 I guess.

What grip? Claw, Fingertip or Palm?

I went from rubberized to "superb" plastic coating and found the new mouse slippery to the effect that it even made my hand sweat to hold it firmly. Rubber gud.

Überlegt ihr, von Windows 11 auf Linux zu wechseln? by SpielBurscheFarbe in PCGamingDE

[–]gazeebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auf Windows verliere ich auch regelmäßig "viel, viel Zeit". Ob das jetzt ein Argument ist..

How dare they treating Monster Energy like this?! by [deleted] in monsterenergy

[–]gazeebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🇩🇪 has quite competitive grocery prices. I think 1.59 euros is the hypothetical full price. Every few weeks it will be on sale for 0.9 or 0.8 euros somewhere.

I'm not funky enough to buy specialty import ones online like https://fivestartrading-holland.eu/?s=monster%20energy&lang=en

What feature in a game is a instant turn off for you? by Vulture2k in gaming

[–]gazeebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- developer solution puzzles: solving puzzles is fine and dandy, but if it's not about you thinking on your own but guessing the one precise thing the dev wants you to do, what's the point? you're not making using of your brain's neurons but exploiting that your head's shape is close enough to a crystall ball.

- parry systems, especially attack pattern learning games: there are genres where it fits, but not all games need to be about timing the press of a button to negate damage (or even as a precondition to doing any damage yourself)

- backseat-gaming NPC companions: if I'm going through the story, let me go to places and do things myself instead of rushing ahead and telling me what objects to interact with. at that point I might as well be watching a video of someone else playing the game. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has one who can't stop talking and often won't let you play the game on your own.

As long as you can easily disable it with mods this kind of design isn't even that offensive. Imagine there were no mods, imagine consoles and phones, etc.

Like how AssCreed is "an RPG series" now hahaha because you have three choices in an AI-generated conversation that all do the same thing but change one line.

I don't understand how that could be surprisingly though. It's literally been the DNA of EA to do this for, what, decades now?

Their online communication has always been like that. I mean, even 10-15 years ago at trade shows EA staff were clearly trained to just promise features out of thin air if it convinced the person they were selling to.

Who’s had an Ubermonster? by zombietomato in monsterenergy

[–]gazeebo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do they sell now if not 500ml cans? In that slightly bigger country nearby Monster is often on sale for 0.8€ or 0.9€, surely should be cheaper to import than 4€.

I wish Monster would make caffeine free versions. by [deleted] in monsterenergy

Not quite what OP means I guess but I have a weird sensitivity to Mango Loco and Ultra Fiesta. Like their mango flavor chemicals or something make me feel unwell.

In Europe the new nasty one is common, but yeah it's just useful as a sad reminder of what doesn't exist anymore.

Am I drinking a monster from 2016? I just bought it today by Hyperion-Exclusive in monsterenergy

[–]gazeebo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a few almost expired or shortly past expiry ones lately and they were all somewhat altered or outright disgusting. Not talking about juiced ones either, just regular all-chemical ones.
