I'd say the possibility of your own computer having a virus infection, or your login credentials leaking some other way, is far more likely than assuming "HN might be hacked."
DavideNL··on uBlock Origin is no longer available on Chrome web store
> "My response was to a comment that it's still available on chrome store. I no longer see that comment.

> Assuming it was deleted, does HN change parent comments if parent was deleted? - that's misleading."

That's not possible as far as i know; What is possible, is that the original commenter EDITED their comment to a different text, soon after they posted it.

DavideNL··on ReMarkable Paper Pro
Can AOSP be installed on the Boox (10.3) though? I thought the bootloader was locked…

In any case, i think going this route might be very finicky, i’m afraid it would become a new hobby just to get it up and running / and keep it updated.

I had the exact same issue on mine... you can just feel it's bad quality.

> "I just worry about using Android…"

Exactly, I'm avoiding them for the same reason, I don't want to use a personal e-ink device running on an OS created by the biggest advertiser in the world.

I was hoping Pocketbook would release something new this year running some Linux distro / with less tracking, and more privacy.

PS. Also: i want a light sensor to automatically adjust brightness/night mode based on lighting conditions (previous Pocketbook models don't have this.)

I assume this detects "new devices" by its MAC address?

Seems unreliable, with modern devices changing to a new random MAC address frequently.

Then your data would be spammed with new devices constantly?

DavideNL··on Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube
Yea, i also wonder how people feel about Nebula [1] as an alternative;

It seems the problem is, with YouTubes monopoly, other services have almost no chance to succeed because of the "Network Effect"...

DavideNL··on Bypass Paywalls Add-On Takedown Notice
So what is/was the "official" repo/source then? Because the repo at Github [1] points to the Russion repo [2], see here [3].

How did you determine it's an iOS bug?

DavideNL··on About the browser choice screen in the EU
> “With safari, edge, and chrome, you can use a janky extension to redirect it - at least on desktop.”

In iOS Safari too… it’s janky indeed. Everyone and their grandmother won’t use it…

There’s also the “xSearch” app, for other / custom search engines: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/xsearch-for-safari/id157990206...

DavideNL··on Make Firefox Private Again
Strange, apparently the setting (dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled) still hasn't been added to Arkenfox user.js ?

I see it's mentioned and committed, but not in the latest release yet.

DavideNL··on Okay, I Like WezTerm
I expect that won't work on macOS, because an "Always On Top window" is not equal to a "floating window"...

It's described here: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/1751#issuecomment-1973...

Note that this does only the “show/hide’ the window part;

The iTerm2 hotkey window, is a floating window, which for example also works in a space with another Fullscreen window/app opened (without moving to another space.)

DavideNL··on Firefox Sidebar and Vertical tabs: try them out
Running uBlock Origin in “Medium mode” [1] also does wonders (= blocking 3p-scripts and frames). It’s interesting to see how many websites work in this mode, and the amount of crap you’re not seeing. Websites load so much faster. And, you can then (permanently, or not) easily whitelist some specific domains like content providers, etc. while browsing.

Perhaps by creating a great app?

DavideNL··on Avoid ISP Routers
How are non technical people, like our parents, ... going to install their own router? And then they might have to manage it, like a manual update or asjustment now and then or whatever.

Most people simply don’t have the knowledge.

It would be like everyone buying car parts themselves and repairing their own cars when they break…

DavideNL··on Taking my diabetes treatment into my own hands
I think it’s simple: because they injected too much insuline at some point before the hypoglycemia;

Which obviously “never” happens to non-diabetics, because the pancreas regulates this automatically, adjusting to circumstances as required.

Well, a downside of Bitwarden (and 1Password) might be that it's hosted on their own servers. So, no separation between the App Developer/software, and the location where your data is stored.
