Kate is fine if you are already running KDE. If you are using a different wm, you need to install half of KDE to use it.

I use ICE's Cyberspace and throw out everything that slows down the story. Works well enough. It was written before most of the world was online, so still has a lot of the quaint charm of early cyberpunk.

I am still waiting on cyberpunk. Is it ready now?

Not op, but I have been doing this for years with a userscript. Getting rid of SEO garbage, pintrest, quora, etc links makes more room for the helpful results.

It is also a good way to ensure you don't land on any recipe sites that are built more for wasting your time than helping you cook.

I just got into the habit of permabanning any site that had anti-user patterns, annoying popups, right click/back button blocking, or clickbait headlines. I don't see a lot of that stuff anymore. Makes the net a bit more useful. Or at least less frustrating.

Just wanted to add that an update went out in the play store that allows a one time fee to just remove ads and tracking. I would prefer no google play services, but I am willing to compromise. I just paid $20 for my phone, and another $20 for my wife's.

Thanks for adding the option, @ljdawson!

I still get that bass line from the bgm stuck in my head, all these years later.

Gitaroo Man is fantastic. We need more games where you can defeat enemies using the power of your rock.

Brutal Legend also, although not the same genre by a long shot.

Same. More than happy to support development, but I don't need another automatic subscription. I did OTP in the old app several times (purchased for different accounts, and again just because I use dns ad blockers, but still wanted to support the app). I am happy to do the same here, but not as a subscription.

Lj, please offer an option for OTP that removes ads while still being expensive enough to cover your costs.

It doesn't need to include push notifications or image preloading, or any other features that require you to maintain or rent infrastructure. I would be willing to pay $20 or $30 for a one time purchase option that doesn't make me feel like I am a drain to you when I block ads and tracking.

I will never look at ads or consent to tracking or violating my privacy, and I am willing to pay a (non-recurring) fee to enable that. I am sure I am not alone here.

Yeah, I used huge and very large on the old app, and that isn't changing here. I tried header/very large, but it was a bit too much. Nice to be able to read comfortably without squinting at the screen.

I could probably even settle for just being able to take the logo out of it. Last thing I want in my personal data device is to have a corporate logo of an ad company staring me in the face all the time.
