corbin,

Super Tux Cart is always a good time

corbin,

I had some fun going in 2018 with friends, but it definitely felt like a theme park with lines everywhere for demos. Maybe there’s room for something to take its place focused on those demos or community events, rather than announcements that most visitors couldn’t attend anyway.

corbin,

Or just an RSS reader, every channel has an RSS feed

corbin,

I made a PWA that can quickly remove tracking variables called Link Cleaner. If you install it through Chrome or another Chromium browser on Android, it shows up as a share target, so you can share links to Link Cleaner and then share again to the intended target.

corbin,

When you’re in Chrome or another browser, there’s an install option in the main overflow (three dots) menu.

corbin,

There is no expertise in that interview, that’s the problem. It’s the Ghostery dev making vague statements that Engadget partially misinterprets and then everyone else gets wrong. The main insight there is that content blockers need their lists updated on a daily basis for YT which is not new information.

corbin,

Not quite the same thing, but if you install LinkCleaner as a PWA using a chromium browser, it will show up as an option when sharing the link. Then you can copy to the clipboard or share it elsewhere.

corbin,

It’s not the default because it can break links sometimes, like links that have authentication details in the parameters.

corbin,

On Android you can install LinkCleaner as a PWA using a chromium browser, it will show up as an option when sharing a link from Firefox or any other app.

corbin,

There are malicious extensions found in the chrome web store pretty frequently, and if I was making one, I would definitely use the API that lets me man-in-the-middle all network requests. So google’s statement that 40% or whatever of malicious extensions use that API seems plausible to me.

You could definitely make the argument that Google should just do a better job of reviewing extensions, but that alone also wouldn’t be a 100% solution. Google definitely messed up with the original rule limits, though. If chrome is more optimized then surely it must be able to handle just as many (if not more) rules than uBO.

corbin,

I did say the element zapper was missing. uBO Lite is using the same default filterlists as uBO, which includes some trackers: github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets

corbin,

uBlock Origin has a Manifest V3 version, it’s not going anywhere. I swear there are more people not reading anything here than Facebook.

corbin,

This is actually about Daylight Savings Time

corbin,

This article is really wrong, wow. There is already a Manifest V3-compliant version of uBlock Origin, it’s discussed in this thread: github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/338

I don’t know if it’s stated definitively anywhere, but I’m pretty sure the plan is to roll out that different version to Chrome users as an update to the existing extension. It’s going to be slightly worse because MV3 is still missing some API features.

corbin,

Right, my point was just that the article is wrong/clickbait. The changes won’t “disable uBlock Origin” or “essentially kill off uBlock Origin”.

corbin,

YouTube doesn’t sell user data, the data is for targeting ads.

corbin,

They don’t make any money.

corbin,

Google owns YouTube and the AdSense advertising network. They don’t need to sell the data to advertisers because they are the advertiser. It’s more valuable for them to just hoard that for forever and use it for ad targeting.

corbin,

Most people wouldn’t, which is the issue.

corbin, (edited )

The downfall of YouTube is creators being paid more for their work?

corbin,

That is exactly how YouTube works: support.google.com/youtube/answer/72902?hl=en

corbin,

This was based on a report that was debunked almost immediately, y’all gotta stop reposting this every day.

corbin,

I have not seen anything about Microsoft accounts getting deleted for AI falsely identifying something as malicious. Windows Defender and OneDrive do scan your files for malware, yeah.

corbin,

Those links just say that illegal content uploaded to Microsoft services might get your account suspended, which is how pretty much every online service works. There’s a higher bar than “misbehavior”.

corbin,

That’s a video editorializing the article that was already editorializing the Microsoft support pages. That’s just a game of telephone with everyone in the process trying to make it sound scarier than it actually is.

corbin,

The subscription rumor was debunked pretty quickly. I honestly don’t see that happening anytime soon, PC makers would get pretty upset (especially if they don’t get a cut of the revenue).

corbin,

Yes, that’s reporting on the “leak” from Neowin, which Neowin later redacted because there wasn’t actually enough evidence: neowin.net/…/microsoft-might-want-to-be-making-wi…

Windows 365 is a cloud streaming PC that isn’t even available to consumers yet.

corbin, (edited )

The original source for that is an internal presentation with poorly-worded language that said Windows will “move” to the cloud, the whole presentation slide makes it clear they’re talking about Windows in the cloud as an option: theverge.com/…/microsoft-windows-11-cloud-consume…

Forcing everyone to stream Windows from a cloud server would not work well for the vast majority of PCs and internet connections. Microsoft isn’t dumb, they’re not going to try that and lose even more market share to Apple. I was linking to the article to show the correction, the original article was junk based on nothing and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

corbin,

Linux is great but it’s not always an option. It doesn’t run every app or game that Windows has (Proton is great but it’s not 100%), or maybe you’re doing dev work that has to be on a Windows machine, or you’re using some hardware that isn’t supported well in Linux. I switched off Linux to Windows (and then later to macOS) partially because Photoshop and Lightroom are pretty great tools for my job and the workarounds/alternatives weren’t cutting it.

corbin,

A certified Lemmy/Reddit classic.

corbin,

Yeah, a lot of smartphone chipsets still have an FM tuner, but it needs additional circuitry (e.g. a 3.5mm jack to use as the antenna) that most device makers don’t implement.

corbin,

If only there was a link to click that explained that ;)

corbin,

Yeah, it’s gonna be interesting to see how that pans out. DVR manufacturers got thrown through a loop with the DRM changes, and LG just announced it won’t sell TVs with ATSC 3.0 anymore due to patent issues. Maybe it will just be thrown out entirely like 2.0.
