I’d really like to know what exactly you are looking for? There is no such thing as “free” and no browser extension will give you something for free. You are paying, one way or the other…

Sometimes there are really-free things. Old-style open-source software is a collection of such things. Extensions, at their beginning, were too, and some of them still are. As far as I know, for example, there's no 'gotcha' in uBlock Origin (although there is the 'gotcha' of knowing to look for them instead of the myriad other solutions that are non-free).
It’s even worse. They steal from other promoters. Say you watch a LTT video and use one of their affiliate links. If you have honey installed they will replace the link with their own affiliate link and cash the promotion bonus without any promotion by themselves.
Of the three bad things they've been accused of, I'd consider that by far the least. Selling tracking data is an invasion of privacy. Deliberately not showing better discounts violates their core value proposition. Replacing deferral links doesn't hurt the user, and isn't much different from blocking ads.
fabulous idea - but you are making everyone know what time Sun rises and sets as well as light math. the phone will also be ringing constantly with “hey what time you close today?”
I also recently switched from javascript to typescript and noticed a clear improvement on my speed to write code. Before i had to constantly switch between files to check what i exactly passed to a function.
But I knew C# before so a typed language is nothing new for me.
But when i started with javascript exactly this “untyped” language felt like something good, it felt much less of a burden to think about the code beforehand.
Now i look at dozens of projects which a have to be converted to typescript because I simply cannot deal with this typelessness anymore…
I once worked for two hours out of a mc donalds, even had a 30 minute teams meeting (it was completely empty at 10 in the morning) and the wifi was quite fast
Wherever my internet at home goes out, the McD down the way is my "office." Hasn't happened in 5 years or so, but I've had to do it 4-5 times over the years. Take customer calls, write code, have team meetings. Works fine, and the $1 coffee ain't bad.
The Internet is good, and it’s quieter than a Starbucks. Back when more McDonald’s had 24-hour lobbies and my work habits were worse, I’d head over there to get a black coffee and ice cream to program or write.
Fair enough. My point still stands that they may have been blogging this for themselves or a relatively small number of readers.
I'm reticent to criticize anyone for putting their unfinished or aspirational work up on the internet, it reminds me of a 'net where people hosted their own blogs for mostly noone. Writing destined for a small or non-existent audience feels precious when everything is made to game the attention system.
Well I did not mean it to be offensive, and I hope that the author would not take it this way.
I genuinely thought about this expression when I realised what happened with this project, and looked up the English translation. I shared it because I found it fun and interesting, that's all.
When I was at school, about 15 years ago, our school had screens hanging in the hallways, showing the timetables in a slideshow manner. And changes to your timetable were a daily occurrence. A teacher would get sick, a room got swapped. The school eventually got their own app for students.
