Adverts crashing the game
You can read about Blokada here https://blokada.org/ and their v6 will also be in your App/Playstore but as said is subscription only. Lucky Android users can keep scrolling down until you see v5 offered which is completely free (not in Playstore btw). Unfortunately v5 isn't available for iOS. It works though, you won't see another, just a blackout timer that runs for 35 seconds (which does also mean you wait 35 seconds for the few ads that only runs for 15 seconds).

Bit sad innit?
If you use the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origins extension, it blocks almost every ad. I use the Samsung Internet browser with Blokada 5 and it's a nearly ad-free experience.

Reddit is officially shutting down ALL third party apps: What this means for r/QAnonCasualties going forward.
For those on Android, download Blokada 5. It's a free open-source systemwide adblocker app. Don't download Blokada 6 on the Play Store. It's a subscription cloud-based app. Google doesn't allow VPN-based adblocker apps in the Play Store. If you have a Samsung phone, Blokada 5 is in the Galaxy Store.

But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you can’t run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Don’t worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Don’t use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Don’t use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
https://www.jetpack.io/devbox
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you don’t need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
I’m planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!
