Bought and revived by Alexis Ohanian? It can only turn out into a dumpster fire. It’s probably just to diversify their data collection in case there’s an actual massive Reddit exodus and the brand name becomes too toxic.

One more reason to have actual open-source drivers instead of binary blobs…

Honestly, I’m just keeping my money in my saving account. No way I’m spending my hard-earned money on overpriced stuff, I can wait a while longer, and I’m considering a Steam Deck as my daily driver. Not a beast, but not excessively priced either.

I suggest whoever has old firmware files to upload them to the Internet Archive (if they allow those).

Hotdog / Not Hotdog

But yeah, having a semantical image filter could do be a good first line, of course with human oversight.

Can you extract your cookie and pass it to yt-dlp?

AI trends

Yeah that part kinda sucks, but it’s not all bad. For example, there’s the offline translation engine that relies on a trained model that runs entirely locally, which is kinda neat and great privacy-wise.

I think you mostly just need to block incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org

Right, I think I found a lot of stuff for v3, but not that much for v4 and almost nothing for v5. I still managed to figure it out and I have a decent template now.

The worst is trying to find which version a post on StackExchange is about…

Just having an example with the most common tasks (ex: creating registry keys, registering DLLs or Fonts, etc) and having some comments in there with the common pitfalls to avoid would really go a long way.

I do appreciate v5 in a way, now that you don’t need a preprocessing step for the file, that you can use a wildcards for a directory, and you can just build a package in a single step is a great improvement. Maybe I was spoiled with Nullsoft and Inno Setup in the past 😬

I had to build a Windows Installer package using WiX Toolset, and v5 came out maybe 3-4 months at that point and the structure compared to v4 is quite different… that was fun trying to build something with lackluster documentation compared to v4. I gave a shot to ChatGPT, etc to help, but all it could spit out was a mess.

Practical Engineering is also on Nebula (among other some high quality YouTube channels), and tou can get an ad-free yearly sub for around $30. Not giving my views or af-money to Google.

One more reason not to buy ebooks from Amazon.

The average modern website takes more than this per page to display its content… it’s absurd.

Smelly armpits is unmanly and uncivilized (no offense to those struggling with that).

He can go live in a cave away from civilization if that makes him feel manly.

I’m surprised DOGE themselves aren’t using it to skirt FOIA.

Or maybe they are.

Personally I stick to relatively legal IPTV playlists, such as https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv

Straight and to the point, no bullshit.

The only place where I struggle is finding the perfect player. On PC I use iptvnator and on Android I use IPTV Pro. They work well enough, but I wish I had a universal app that could carry the configuration between devices.

Service-specific link shorteners are alright, like youtu.be, a.co and goo.gl/maps. At least know roughly where you’re going.

For anything else, I rather see the full URLs, and if I need to share a link on a paper medium, I also make it available in a QRcode form.

Yeah I’m not saying Bridgefy is better, just that it’s available on both major mobile platforms while Briar isn’t. I do prefer Briar on technical and privacy levels.

Bridgefy was used more during protests since it’s available on both iOS and Android, while Briar is Android only.

One way to avoid recurrent leaks is to foster a culture of trust and not be a ginormous dickwad.
