I just zap the banner and make a mental note not to use this website again. If it’s something essential to me, I’d probably add a custom filter - but that hasn’t been an issue so far.

1. install ublock origin
2. enable “cookie notices” filters

Me, a procrastinator: eh, it can wait

I picked example without confusion on purpose, because most people will generally avoid patterns similar to what OP posted. But if you want something more ambigious:

This is clearly 5/(2 * (a+9)). If we write this the form that the OP uses: 5/2(a+9) - it’s fucked beyond all recognition.

That only works if everyone agrees with you, which is clearly not true. In academic math, there’s a thing called juxtaposition. It mostly exists because math people are lazy, so instead of putting parentheses around statement e.g. 5+(2*x) they’ll just write 5+2x.

This is fine as long as you know the context of that expression. If you take it out of the context and just ask any person what is the right order of operations - it becomes ambiguous. Because some people know PEMDAS. And other people know that PEMDAS is just a simplification for middle school, when real math notation is messy, non-standard and requires a lot of local domain knowledge.

it’s ambiguous

Main effect of a brushless motor is moving matter really fast, which, on a molecular level, is same as heating it.

If we’re not considering self-hosting:

• GitLab - asks for phone number/cc to create an account, enterprise-level UI (in a bad way)
• SourceHut - free (during public alpha that might end one day), ran by a controversial figure
• BitBucket - “Code and CI/CD, powered by AI”
• Codeberg - limited to FOSS projects, fork of Gitea, CI is compatible with GH actions

I moved all my active and new projects to Codeberg the moment GitHub started pushing their Copilot crap everywhere. I just knew nothing good would come from it.

That’s pretty clean for KDE. Here’s my Void system.
But I’ve switched in January, before all this drama even started.
