All the functionality attached to Firefox's "Browser tools" sub-menu should be unceremoniously ripped out, banished to the developer's edition.

I hope this is some kind of sarcastic take I am not getting. What a weird thing to stand for.

Well, one is enterprise and the other is community version. Is it still the same if you compare same editions? How does it look now on the enterprise edition? Did they move functionality from the community edition to the enterprise edition?

What do you mean by "catching attackers". What do you gain by having that information? And, again, 240k individual instances all "catching attackers"?

So many questions

I imagine this will only work (and only index) threads. So the context can be gathered from the thread title/body and underlying messages reflect the discussion.

Some communities I'm in have #support channels which only support threads. So you create a thread, add a title and a body message and people can reply to your thread by clicking on it. There's no way to post individual messages; only comments in threads.

This solves your context problem. Still not sure if this is the right direction we want to go in. This just proves to me that Discord is not right tool for the problem at hand.

These links have already been shared in this thread, but I'd still like to share what I did recently.

For the vast majority of debloating I use Sophia[1] and just use the defaults so it's basically fire-and-forget, which I very much like. For any additional de-bloating, like removing OneDrive integration, I use individual scripts from [2].

I've recently switched my development laptop to a Macbook Pro and it's hilarious to note the difference in installation process between the two. The MacOS experience is embracing the "it just works"-concept, no configuration required and everything is taken care off. Whereas the Windows experience is basically you get a thin shell and you need to install these 20(!) updates in order to start configuring your drivers, installing packages and "debloating".

In the end I've accepted that Windows and MacOS both have a place in this world and neither have the perfect approach to an operating system. OS's are such a personal experience.

How would you debug something inside of a loop (1000s of values) with a line breakpoint in your IDE? Your debugger will trigger the breakpoint every single time it walks through the loop, even when everything is going fine. Now if you conditionally trigger the breakpoint inside the loop using code, it will trigger once and only if it encounters whatever error you want to catch.

Obviously you remove that debug statement from your code after you're finished debugging.

Interested to know which ways you can integrate adblocking tools in this to block tracking when using the vpn.

Obviously you would have to set up a whole lot more to maximize privacy which isn't covered in this tutorial.
