Absolutely. It’s not hands-off like Adblock or tracking-blockers but for users who know what they’re doing enough to be choosy about what scripts to allow, NoScript is great. I almost can’t use other browsers anymore.

It's been shown, proven, to snoop in your documents and system files. EA claims that was a bug and it no longer does that, but the "EA claims..." in the first part of this sentence should give you pause.

How does anyone manage to not see the Star Wars movies? Did you grow up in the middle of a jungle? Were you raised by wolves? Did your parents think Star Wars is how the devil gets inside you?

Oh yes, I'm primarily thinking of fiction-writing but tools like that are probably necessary for, say, a thesis, or technical writing.
I don't know if this advice is universally helpful or just for people who think like me, but honestly, never ever work based on a word count. I'm not convinced showing me statistics on how many words I wrote today, having a word count goal rather than something more vague ("get past X scene today"), or comparing one…
Agreed. The #1 priority for an aspiring to be a writer is to shut the hell up and write. Everything else is secondary to this. I wrote three novels in Microsoft Word with my only tools allowed on-screen being a browser window (strictly for Googling facts) and a notepad++ window for my notes text file. Yes, just one…

I feel so vindicated by rules like this. My workspace - both at work and at home - are disaster areas and every horizontal surface is covered with things. But I know exactly where every item around me is, so suck it. I generally find that when I "clean up" it becomes so much harder to find things.
English is literally a living language, and the use and literal definitions of words literally change over time. You could literally complain that evolving word use has literally "diluted" the language so you can't literally come home and exclaim, "I feel very gay today!" without literally having a very long…
That's one of those things that makes sense to lawyers. There's a lot of regulation on how they can use words like "free" in advertisement; that's why most big companies all sound exactly the same - because using other wordings can open the door for lawsuits. I agree it's dumb, but "free gift with purchase" is the…
