  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin in Chrome

  • just as many people accept windows being shit

    or maybe most people don't actually have problems, and it's only a small vocal minority that really has huge complaints?

  • Some people just look drowsy all the time... also what if you're wearing sunglasses?

  • Proton has respond on reddit

  • There is no proof they used an LLM. Plus, LLMs are trained on human text anyway, who actually talk like this... it's not like LLMs invented their own way of speaking.

    Would you have preferred no apology at all?

  • Just curious, what could they have possibly done instead that would satisfy you?

  • I don't consider those purely protest forks in the same sense as say, the GIMP fork called Glimpse.

  • Protest forks never survive though. They always start overly ambitious and then realize how much of a full-time job it really is, and eventually give up.

  • I have no problems with that particular thumbnail

  • Linux backlash leads to California law change on age verification - with the original lawmaker forced to make a humbling step back

    Jump

  • Do you really think

    Yes, yes I do. They know you can't control everyone. And Linux is a rounding error in the context of desktop market share. They don't care about it, and everyone else is "good enough."

  • Lawmakers don't even know or care what Linux is. They don't know what a router is or that it runs an operating system. The bill doesn't affect routers because they don't have physical users with HIDs plugged into them. They're not targeting them. Captive portals have been around for decades. What on Earth are you talking about?

  • Human proof for FOSS contributions

    Jump

  • I don't see it catching on at all... I think forcing people to record themselves is asking way too much, and not everyone uses the command-line or the same application/machine for everything. Plus they acknowledge that it can be faked and that LLMs can/will get better at faking it.

    Proving a request came from a human is a many-billion dollar task right now, and nobody seems close at all to coming up with a workable solution. The only thing even remotely feasible (IMO) that I've seen so far (and which still doesn't actually prove anything) is charging money for accounts. But tons of people still don't want to do that, even though it would lessen the amount of bots and make it easier to ban bad behavior if everyone needed an account to access a site. I don't like that option, but it is an option. Making payments on the web easier (and less tied to the whims of Visa et al) probably also needs to happen.

  • Download all images with ushiro

  • Doesn't explain how to use it at all. Tried clicking on the extension in the toolbar, nothing happens.

    I need something that works on lazy-loading carousels and automatically grabs all the images that are linked through another lazy-loaded lightbox you have to click on for each one.

  • Compared to DDG-noAI: zero 3rd party requests.

    No need when they're already selling your search habits from the backend.

  • Companies don't like legally-questionable (in their mind at least) licenses. If you look at the people who use this license, it's mostly very small personal projects.

  • KDE Receiving Over 1.2 Million EUR Investment From Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund

    Jump

  • I think that assumes that people are actually auditing all the code, and carefully enough. I think most people greatly overestimate how much code is actually ever audited.

  • France has ditched Windows 11 for Linux on 2.5 million government PCs

    Jump

  • But if the definition of viable is merely "open source"... there are many other such operating systems out there.

  • At the same time you also have many people who will claim that software with government contribution is automatically compromised.

  • KDE members have also been seen calling people fascists and nazis, so there's that. Personally I try to steer clear of any projects with such drama.
