Maybe, just maybe, the context in which you use regex isn’t the same as everyone elses. But hey, who am I to deny you the disservice of thinking you’re the center of the world?

Maybe for your very specific use case that’s true. However, other use cases exist and for many of those RegEx is the better option.

You’re discussing a completely different use case from what I said. RegEx can be increidbly useful but it’s not always the only/best option.

Not even close. Sometimes you can have a large text file where you need to do a find replace with a pattern. For example, in the translation world this can be a common occurrence for translation files (.xliff) or translation memories (.tmx).

There’s a reason why this is widely used and it’s not because everyone else but you is dumb.

Hard disagree. The function regex serves in programs like Notepad++ can’t be easily replaced by “writing it out in code”. With a very small number of characters you can get complex search patterns and capturing groups. It’s hard to read but incredibly useful.

Yes and no? Being a niche product, I feel like there should be a diy option where you get all of the parts as a kit for a reduced price. Maybe 30-35USD would make more sense. At 70 I would not even consider this product tbh.

$70 for a macropad? You can buy an entire kb for that price.

K. Keep using a service you hate then, I guess.

Dude, if you dislike it that much you could just like… not use it?

Afaik, business units are individual. Their products don’t finance each other.

If you see 0 ads and don’t pay anyone, I’m not sure how the service could be sustainable. I’m also against ads but only if you’re actually paying. That’s why I do pay for a yt family plan but also use adblock+sponsorblock.

I live in the city and the moonlight is clearly noticeable so I guess it depends. I mean, a city can be considered as such with as little as 50k people so I guess that, statistically, the majority of people that live in a city would most certainly notice the lack of moonlight.

You would notice the lack of light. The night isn’t pitch black xD

The moon also doesn’t emit it’s own light. It would take longer for the moon to “disappear” than it would for the sun but it wouldn’t be the whole night.

Also, I rarely use Firefox on my phone and my links are still all from websites I’ve visited.

I did that. Brave is like 19th on the results list and there’s no “forget the fox” in the app name.

With a battery*

Yeah, right.

Was?
