The new Declarative Net Request API is still a downgrade in capability compared to the older API, but the feature gap has closed significantly. If a certain website finds a workaround for ads that Manifest V3 extensions can’t block, then you probably should just switch browsers or stop going to that site. I would like to see the rules limit continue to increase, though.

Isn't that most of the web?

I enjoyed the article. I don't think it's coincidence that Google is going after adblockers at the same time as this is happening, despite suggested improvements that will come along with Manifest V3.

It could make things more secure from malicious extensions but in my experience people who install extensions tend to be a bit more savvy and people who aren't savvy tend to not use extensions. That's just my experience though.

I do think people should get paid for efforts so we can keep nice things that could be getting served to us by a small team. Websites I frequent for gaming info for example. But I only found those places by searching and sifting through sites with poor morals and I need a way to browse safely for that.

I either use Firefox or LibreWolf. I was just conversing.

I hope your right. My experience in life has been people will constantly loosen what they find acceptable and it does not stay contained but spreads. 😟

VerseAndVermin ,

Do you feel similar shortcomings from lemmy compared to reddit?

I apologize for not having more to add. I just find it interesting to see what others feel who swapped to mastadon and lemmy.

Roblox is kind of yucky to begin with. Don't they use kids to make content and then give them an awful portion of proceeds?

Do you know if they do an intermission? I've never gone to a screening for the whole thing.

I know celebrities aren't always where we should focus but this guy exudes passion and I'm interested in this. Thanks, OP.

Many moons ago I was part of the first group for a new program to build up skills with html, css, etc. I was excited but then found the professor had trouble displaying an image on the first day and I had to show how to the class. I noped out. They clearly weren't ready. Felt wrong that they were taking money.

If I understand right, it is tracking work software. So work PCs. I had already assumed anything in a work setting can be used against me. It doesn't make it right, but this won't change my behavior. I already assume corpo-degeneracy is afoot anytime I touch work-tech.

Not that it matters at this point, but I saw somewhere that he had remorse for his racism later in life. Is this true? I have never seen anything to show it but I haven't saught it out either.

It's kinda funny how some of my favorite board games are based upon the setting. I love that they are heavy with diversity. It makes me think of Stephen King's writing book, he says a story is no longer yours once it's out there.

I'm glad Lovecraft made what he did, and that it's so free tooled today. I think one day the Wizarding World will be the same (I refuse to keep calling the whole thing Harry Potter).

Does the cloud gaming work pretty well? I'm trying to consider how to move my main rig to Mint, but also not lose my three years of game pass. I think dual boot is likely but feels purpose defeating haha.

This is it's strength in my opinion. Libre isn't great if you just want it to work coming from a Windows environment. I've tried quite a few options and this was my go to, it had far more of a friendly time with Word documents then Libre or others. Although I will say W3 was probably nicest but their sketch past of looking at people files and their local laws made me delist from my comparison list.

VerseAndVermin ,

Since everyone else is piling on negatively, I appreciated your friendly reminder.

Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

Why is Libre Office always the goto? I've been trying every MS Office alternative and Libre is way down on this list. It doesn't compare. In my searching, I even found video of the creators seeming more keen to (rightly) blame MS for compatibility issues. Meanwhile alternatives just work with the reality and reduce differences in exchanging files from the world's most common option. Plus, and this is more personal, Libre Office is dog doo ugly. Ditto for Gimp.

As someone newer to Linux, people really don't emphasize enough the need to find alternative software that fits into one's life. It's all fine to say it's all just new setups and once you learn them your good, but most world interactions with tech that isn't your own will be Windows. Why fight the stream when you Don't have to? There are lot of alternate Office programs is what I am saying and some are almost as good as massively funded MS Office.

Sorry I vented on you lol. WPS Office is one I liked a lot but I learned they are following local laws and so have had instances of invading privacy when using any cloud connecting aspect. It made me not trust them even outside of cloud use. It's very very well out together though. I wish it weren't something I felt insecure using because it is really nice.

I consider Only Office to be my goto at the moment. I still have more to try though, more obscure ones. It has only bugged on me once when I resized the window a lot, greeting me with an all white window with no UI.

Libre I tried a lot to make me love it. It just feels designed by someone who wants to make a point against MS. I did also try a complete overhaul to adjust the UI a lot but even the functionality of it just doesn't seem to do as well when working closely with MS Office users.

I didn't know Thunderbird did this. I was trying to think why people would use it who have all their email in one web page already. I use Proton and it seemed unnecessary and yet everyone on Linux seems to use it. I love a good RSS reader though!
