Dale Gribble taught me all I know about EDC sand.

“There are… 6… rolls!”

On lemmy? Nah

You’re probably right. In sense I relate to that xkcd comic, but in reverse because of my poor memory, that’s really why I linked the XZ-utils backdoor case, as I had almost forgotten all the surrounding details.

Now that’s a niche reference.

Seeing as this is a reference to a song that came out before 9/11, here’s the original.
Also, fun fact: Linkin Park’s breakthrough album Hybrid Theory released on the same day, October 24th, 2000.

Luckily I’ll be a dead gonk by then… Wait, wrong universe. But no chance I’ll end up as a ghoul.

I bought a cheap xiaomi watch and I mostly use it to keep my phone unlocked, “smart lock” or whatever it’s called, it means as long as the watch is in bluetooth range of my android it’s just a swipe unlock instead of a fingerprint unlock. Useful when shopping. And all the other notification and clock stuff of course

I’d like to believe it falls under gynesexuality.

You gotta love the thumbnail being a bunch a penguins and the headline being “30K workers migrating”. Gave me a good chuckle.

It’s hard to believe that movie came out 26 years ago. The song still lives rent free in my head.

That’s clearly a mirror. I’m more interested in the way that clock on the wall has been put up, with what looks like a chain.

I wasn’t implicitly aware, but that t-shirt gave me “blue lives matter” bootlicker vibes for sure.

I can’t say I vibe with this guy’s apparel, but the message is good.

I’ve just been using OptMeOwt for the GPC flag feature, but it looks like Privacy Badger (PB) does that and a lot more, nice. I use Vivaldi that already blocks trackers and have a primitive adblocker, so I don’t know how much PB will help, but I’ll give it a shot.

That’s good to know. Consent-o-matic is configurable though, it doesn’t just ignore the popup, it automates the setting of cookies based on your preference, which could be “allow everything”. So it comes down to how you want to handle those popups.

It’s slightly better than GIF, yet somehow just the “new GIF” when it comes to animation. At least nvidia only supports GPU decoding of webp in lossy and lossless configuration and not extended or animation etc. which is where it would’ve been most useful, so instead webp animations become incredibly CPU intensive.

Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it does handle over 75% of the ones I meet. I’ve noticed recently that it struggles with certain German websites for some reason. Most sites copy and paste the same type of cookie consent form, so maybe it just doesn’t know how to handle that specific type?
Anyway, one need to report the sites where it doesn’t work in order for the fellas that run it (Some Danish university students made it originally, not sure if they’re still in charge), to work on bypassing those new forms.

2025 starter kit. Although manifest v3 will fuck things up in a June, at least for Chromium users (minus Brave).

Shinigami Eyes is also not a bad shout, but I took a look at the github issue tracker and I can’t make out from some of the posts there if it’s still good or if it’s compromised.

EDIT: Regarding paywalls, I used to use https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub but it has closed down due to (big surprise) legal threats. I guess https://www.removepaywall.com/ is the better alternative.

I wasn’t aware of pika backup, but it does look good. It’s basically a fancy GUI for borgbackup, but I like separate projects like that, each focusing on what they do best.

Interesting use of itch.io to handle payment in this case.
