Lol… well this is ironic

Starting in June 2023 and Chrome 115, Google “may run experiments to turn off support for Manifest V2 extensions in all channels, including stable channel.” Also starting in June, the Chrome Web Store will stop accepting Manifest V2 extensions, and they’ll be hidden from view. In January 2024, Manifest V2 extensions will be removed from the store entirely.

Google says Manifest V3 is “one of the most significant shifts in the extensions platform since it launched a decade ago.” The company claims that the more limited platform is meant to bring “enhancements in security, privacy, and performance.” Privacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) dispute this description and say that if Google really cared about the security of the extension store, it could just police the store more actively using actual humans instead of limiting the capabilities of all extensions.

The big killer for ad block extensions comes from changes to the way network request modifications work. Google says that “rather than intercepting a request and modifying it procedurally, the extension asks Chrome to evaluate and modify requests on its behalf.” Chrome’s built-in solution forces ad blockers and privacy extensions to use the primitive solution of a raw list of blocked URLs rather than the dynamic filtering rules implemented by something like uBlock Origin. That list of URLs is limited to 30,000 entries, whereas a normal ad block extension can come with upward of 300,000 rules.

Sure, but the OP is talking about groceries…

I’ve literally never even seen a website notification. I wasn’t aware they were a thing that existed. I imagine if you follow these simple steps, you too can enjoy the internet without fear.

• download Firefox
• install Ublock Origin
• don’t use tiktok

TIL the creator of T9 predictive text also invented Swype

Only if logging out actively invalidates session tokens, which appears to have not been the case. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3364

It’s a lot easier to shovel a foot of snow thrice than it is to shovel 3 feet of snow that’s compacted, melted down a bit, formed a freezing layer on top and ice on the bottom, and now your shovel is broke because you were trying to pry up that ice with 60lb of snow on top of it.

But at that point you say fuck it and just pay a guy to swing by with his plow and throw out some salt.

I appreciate the sentiment though.

They have a name. They are called communities. A user subscribes to communities.

If it were the latter she could have still enjoyed live performances (assuming those people were good musicians playing in a good venue) but yeah sounds like she just didn’t like music. Which, to me, is crazy. When people say they don’t really listen to or don’t like music, I literally can’t even imagine what that’s like. There is so much diversity in music, especially now. Playing instruments has been a part of human history for at least 40,000 years and we’ve been singing as long as we’ve had vocal cords.

GOTTA GET DOWN ON FRIDAY

I mean really, who isn’t looking forward to the weekend, weekend

Yes, submit a GDPR/CCPA (Reddit is in California, so they are legally required to serve these request to anyone ‘protected’ by US laws) request. It’s expensive and time consuming for them. It should also help you confirm if all of your data has actually been deleted. They have 30 days to comply with the request.

My plan is, one I get my data and confirm everything is deleted, to submit another request if any data was found and will repeat this until all of the data is gone. Only then will I finally submit one more out of spite followed by immediately deleting the account. Honestly not sure how that will affect them processing it but I’d imagine it should then indeed confirm the account itself is ‘deleted’.

Brain make people dumb

One of us, one of us

Heh, as a non twitter user, doesn’t look like anything to me

These are amazing and hilarious. Now that image generation has gotten so good (there are definitely issues but watching things evolve often the past 2 or so years has been insane) I’m curious how long it will take for ai native videos to get to this level as well.

Between generated videos and language models, we’re in store for an absolutely wild shift in media creation.

Giving Nazis a platform is fucking cringe.

If you’re not familiar with it, windows now has native support to run Linux via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). It can integrate pretty well into your environment as well, like pushing vscode applications to run in the Subsystem. It apparently supports gui as well although I haven’t tried setting that up myself.

“We have investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”

It’s a good thing Texas is on its own non-federally regulated energy grid or someone might have lost a few dollars spending money to weatherize and properly maintaining it.

But its not like they could have known after it failed in 2011 that not bothering to address the issues causing those failures for a decade would leave it susceptible to another failure. It’s obviously the customers fault for relying on the system to keep their families warm in freezing temperatures and not booking a flight to Cancun to escape the ‘once in a lifetime weather event’ that Texas has seen several times in fractions of a lifetime.

Not the most interesting but I feel like you definitely need pizza. With anchovies of course.

Feels like this Beehaw section of the article is missing the mark in it’s failure to recognize Lemmy or the Fediverse as a whole.
