  • I’m not sure I understand your question.

    Eat has its own major mode which is used when you open a standalone buffer via the eat function.

    When it’s embedded in Eshell it mostly just does the right thing whenever you invoke a command that uses terminal control codes (e.g. htop) – and many of those can be closed with q, yes.

    I assume Eat is activated for any program listed in the eshell-visual-commands variable (but I’ll admit I don’t really understand how that works). The notable new minor modes present when I run htop in eshell are Eat--Eshell-Local and Eat--Eshell-Process-Running.




  • I’d ask why they don’t make it optional (I’m not a Brave user) but it seems it was.

    Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave’s users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.

    This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.

    Given that, I’m inclined to agree with the decision to remove it. Pick your battles and live to fight another day.








  • Not the parent poster, but I am similarly concerned about tag spam. I find big tag blocks can ruin the reading experience on platforms that display them in-line with the body text.

    Another comment suggested that tags be put in a field separate from the body of the post (and they shouldn’t be parsed from the body, either). I think that’s the best way to facilitate Lemmy clients to (optionally) hide big tag blocks.

    They ask a bit of trust on that, but their FAQ also has an appeal to reason:

    I have privacy concerns over linking my search queries with my credit card. Why should I trust you?

    We do not log search queries. Queries you type are never associated with your account. The simple reason is we don’t have any reason to do so, as it would only be a liability for us. We are in the business of selling search results, not user data.

    (For the record, I use Kagi)
