I can (it's really obvious here) and wish I couldn't. Every time I run into something I might wanna read, but it turns out to be LLM "assisted" writing after I've already invested some time, it feels like I was tricked into eating cardboard.

And when I bring up that this should be clearly marked, preferably up front, it's often taken as a personal slight.

I realize this is a me problem to some extend, I shouldn't feel strongly about this, but I do.

Before anyone gets too excited about ntsync, the performance gains are (with few exceptions) mild, usually in the lower single percentage range. These extreme gains are the result of benching against vanilla wine without fsync, anyone playing demanding games on linux would have been doing so using fsync. This is mentioned in the article but treated like a side note. I've been running benchmarks between both and while the performance increase is real, please temper your expectations. A few titles might also run slightly worse.

It's certainly distracting and toggle would be nice, but a uBO filter does the trick in the meanwhile.

Just letting you know, both stylish extension and with it userstyles.org have been largely left behind by the community due to past transgressions like tracking site visits. While that's mostly in he past afaik, they've been superseded by the stylus extension and userstyles.world

The no-addon workaround for this is to right click any tab, first select all tabs and then bookmark all tabs. Give the folder a name and open it in the bookmark manager. Now you can select them all and copy the URLs.

It's an awkward solution, but it does work and is relatively quick.

Here's the original source by the author: https://scribe.rip/@bobbyrsec/the-dangers-of-googles-zip-tld...

While I think that we really don't need a .zip domain, this trick falls apart when not shown as an image. Hovering over either URL should tip you off. Firefox shows the actual link in the bottom left.

For those who haven't played the game, it should be noted that the game is nothing like what the pitch implies.

PS:T is a well written and introspective RPG and in this capacity it is rivaled by only a handful of contenders.

While I'm not sure about the privacy advantages, setting network.dnsCacheEntries to 0 will prevent firefox from caching dns.

There's no appreciable difference in response time on my setup, it just hits the local dnscrypt-proxy cache instead.

I was about to write up this exact post, almost verbatim. Excellent game sense can seem like you're able to predict the future. Someone who thinks they're "bad at FPS games" usually runs into a lack of game sense, but mistakenly blames it on bad reflexes.

This is one of those things you'd better do with a userscript instead of yet another addon. Way more flexible too.

I'm probably not the first to point this out, but isn't this crossing the spam line pretty hard?

This comes down to what you care about. Third party tracking is largely stopped by uBlock Origin, which is my primary concern. If the server I'm currently on does anything to analyze my browsing, that's fine with me. Not because I don't care, but because there's nothing I can do either way. It could lie about it and I would be none the wiser.

A nearly ideal way to do this on Firefox is to combine

https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Dont-Care-About-Cookies

(which is a maintained fork of the original I don't care about cookies extension, recently bought by Avast)

with https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete

This setup will automatically accept or reject, whichever works, the cookie nonsense and get rid of them once you're done with your tab. CAD comes with a friendly interface to white/greylist cookies you want to keep.

One of the default blocklist for uBlock Origin aims to remove cookie banners too, but a lot of them cannot be simply nuked that way, hence the above method.

> Wikipedia is already full of boring and random stubs, I don't see the obsession editors have with making sure that a person is "important enough" to have an article. I feel like the bar should be lowered - not too low, obviously.

I agree that there's a lot of chaff on wikipedia, but your complaint is immediately followed by a method to make the problem worse. One of the bigger problems I've observed when the (high?) bar isn't enforced is things like people writing their own articles for the sake of self promotion.

https://git.sr.ht/~edwardloveall/scribe made the occasional consumption of medium content a decent experience for me.

Pick an instance (or selfhost) and set your browser up to automatically redirect to it. https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector and https://libredirect.codeberg.page/source_code are good options.

It can be done, but don't attempt this unless you're ready to fix a ton of tiny problems all over the place. Backup your data and move it over to a fresh installation instead.

Regarding GNU Parallel, the nag screen got patched out on Debian due to not being GPL compliant, for now. There's some back and forth "because the citation notice is not part of the license, but part of academic tradition"

> Never changing the defaults is like living in a motel your whole life.

Seldom changing the defaults is like being at home in many places.

The answer to this is sponsorblock, which has reached a state where it takes mere minutes, sometimes seconds, for someone to mark the relevant segments in a new video. And it's not just sponsor reads, you can let it skip intros, unrelated tangents, etc.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/firefox Many disagree with this stance, but Testing is in an awkward position and I generally steer people away from using it over Stable or Sid because you get downsides of both without the strengths of either. I blame Debian with shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to communicating this. Testing is not a happy middle-ground, it's a test bed for stable. Staying on Sid gives you essentially a rolling release like Arch and it's plenty "stable" for regular desktop use and should anything break you'll get the fix (usually) faster than on testing.

Sorry for going on a bit of a rant under your post, but I run into this on the regular.
