Google's "Manifest V2" Chrome extension phaseout next month is expected to impact the original uBlock Origin extension, which still uses the V2 framework and has 37 million users (www.theregister.com)

The new MV3 architecture reflects Google's avowed desire to make browser extensions more performant, private, and secure. But the internet giant's attempt to do so has been bitterly contested by makers of privacy-protecting and content-blocking extensions, who have argued that the Chocolate Factory's new software architecture...

I tried it and because I 2FA everything, this is why I stopped. It also kept resetting my settings every time I tried to fix it. It lasted less than a week.

It's an extremely good, easier read. Don't let it intimidate you. I've given it to people from all ends of the spectrum who have given me raving reviews after. It was a textbook for a Politics of Latin America course I took a decade or more ago.

We did it to Latin America first, and now the Middle East. Shameful.

It will reframe everything, everything is so predictable now. A lot of the same people are still in power.

Remember the good who have fallen, no matter where the cosmic diceroll cast them. We can honor them by learning what happened.

I like to use the Void from r/place as a metaphor for the Internet's gremlins. Google has called to the void, didn't bother to filter it and isn't happy with what it found. To me that signals that Google no longer understands internet culture.

We take the whole "You have my sword. And my axe." trope a little too literally.

Unalive etc came about as a way to skirt TOS violations and demonitisation.

Firedoggo is a good boy.

After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year (www.billboard.com)

When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

My windows PC bricked its OS in the last month, it was definately caused by an upgrade (corrupted hive). I strip my windows installs bare with a script so I assume it was looking for some telemetry service or something. Jokes on Windows, I was planning to switch the OS on that PC anyway. Annoying because it was bad timing.

Poverty homies rise up, also I won't turn down a free tv. I upcycled a few for extra monitors.

All 3 HDMI ports are broken. That's why it was gotten rid of, so I chain adapters with cables I have. Works like a gem. All of my monitors are upcycled. There is so much e-waste because people don't use adapters.

Haha, minor misunderstanding, though I did get a deal on the card, I mean the TV was the one with the broken parts.

Asking friends and family for old tech is a gold mine too, especially if you can pop old hard drives in a case for them. Most people wont touch that stuff.

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

There's dozens of us, I swear! I know a few more too! I also load it on to hardware I upcycle for charity and I know a few went to women. :) Everyone can get comfortable with Mint. It's easier than Windows these days.

Not really a programmer, learned a lot with this list. I run a lot on old laptops and in the background of my desktop. Super useful skill and you can basically get 99% of software you need free with it. I save so much compared to subscription services, though I do pay for Proton cuz self hosting email is too much.
