Like very unique. 😅

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

Like how unique means "one-of-a-kind", so something is either unique or not. 😉

YouTube already has ToS on their API and has paid tiers. But a lot (most?) of the third-party apps and tools bypass the API and directly scrape the site.

This is not a very helpful article summary.

Sorry it wasn't meant to be. I just thought it was funny that they're taking advantage of VideoLAN's library (which is presumably open source) rather than their own.

+1 for LibreDNS! I don't see it mentioned enough.

I personally like the demo at https://www.passkeys.io/.

What does Proton have to to with this?

What SSL thing?

Hmm I hate Google as much as the next guy and am actively trying to de-Google myself, but I'm not sure I can get behind the outrage here. Certificates are free and easy to obtain with LetsEncrypt, so there's really no excuse for sites not to accept unencrypted traffic these days. I'm sure Google does lots of things to delist the small guys and promote their big payers, but I don't think this is one of them.

If your subdomains being public is a security issue then I'd argue something else is wrong. Otherwise you're using security through obscurity.

But I appreciate the insight and I see how this was a harder sell back when it happened. Thanks!

What's the easiest way to run Android apps on Linux?

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

Thanks for this clarification! That is slightly more palatable.

I've only been using it since... well... since I posted this. But so far the experience is great! They have an easy guide for migrating from Google Photos (basically they can import a Takeout export directly).

https://ente.io/faq/migration/from-google-photos/

I've got it installed on my phone with automatic backups enabled. It had no issues with duplicates from both Takeout and the existing photos on my phone. (I even did the upload twice due to running out of space the first time, and there were no dupes). The app has a pretty similar design to Google Photos, so it feels familiar. It also supports Google's version of "live photos".

You can create links to share albums or individual photos, and you can also add people to your plan.

I enabled the local machine learning analysis and, while it's not perfect, it does make for a pretty nice searching experience.

P.S. I promise this is not an ad! I'm running out of Google storage and figured this was as good a time as any to de-Google my photos. Ente came up as a frequent cloud solution. If you're looking for self-hosted, Immich is far and away the most popular.

Wow, this is really insightful! Thank you so much for digging into this. I learned something!

The ENG US is only shown if the user has multiple languages. As for the icons to the left of that, the user has manually chosen to always show them instead of having them in the overflow area. So it is a bit cleaner by default.

I don't know about that. From the article:

Experts told the Vancouver Sun that Air Canada may have succeeded in avoiding liability in Moffatt's case if its chatbot had warned customers that the information that the chatbot provided may not be accurate.

I actually thought the paywalled article was the meme at first.

Also shoutout Bypass Paywalls Clean (D). It's practically up there with uBlock Origin as required to browse today's internet.

I believe the one you linked is the fork. Here is the original.

https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome

I recommend the fork you linked because the original author supposedly was slow and reluctant to add new sites and now copies fixes from the fork.

AnActOfCreation OP ,
@AnActOfCreation@programming.dev avatar

Agreed. I would've changed it except I had in the back of my mind that the post title needed to match the article title, but now I don't see that in the rules. Oh well. But yeah the article is not really about Chrome at all.

Ok, thanks!
