Also, how do I verify that this fork isn’t malware wrapped in emulator code?
The code is open source, you read it all, ensure that you download exactly the code you read, and you compile it yourself. That’s the only way, in general, to accomplish this.
I can assure you that Google, an ad tech company with a near monopoly on web browsers, has an interest in eliminating ad blockers in the browser that they have direct control of.
The JetBrains AI plugin wants to be activated so badly, but legal says we can only use GitHub copilot. The copilot plugin is really good so I don’t mind, but we all know the data is going to OpenAI regardless of the plugin. Data sovereignty will only be achieved by running these services locally.
This right here. Get good at navigating code of questionable quality that you didn’t write. If you can’t do it, start questioning your tools, and mastery of those tools. For the big boy jobs, you should be working with existing code much more than writing new code. Learn to get excited by tweaking existing systems with a few well placed, well researched changes, instead of being The Asshole that adds a new abstraction wart.
To me, a corporation cannot maintain quality code because requirements are ill defined, and there is no “done” state. With those two conditions present, unable to be changed, it’s not possible to form a coherent codebase. Those who try will make things worse, because their abstractions won’t fit in a year or two.
This is exactly the “messy code” people then leave behind. Bad code can come about for other reasons too, of course, but this is one of the more annoying reasons, because someone wrote it with self-righteousness, as if they were the only people to truly SEE the problem. Sigh.
It’s fine, this is how enterprise works. You can learn to navigate and make a living from it. You MUST internalize and accept that it is NOT the same as maintaining code for an open source library or whatever people think it’s going to be.
You have to listen to your heart, at least once in your career, to learn that grass on the other side is covered in just as much dog shit as it is over here.

MULTI-TRACK DRIFTING!! Which also kills the other lever guy, bonus!
To be that dick, a headless component library is still meant to do something, show an example of it being used!
You can also just… pay for it? I give money to JetBrains in exchange for incredibly useful tools. It’s okay to pay for things.
These are actually pretty good for NA (https://athleticbrewing.com/)
