So... any browser other than Firefox feel like shipping Temporal yet?

Nearly every time I see this, it's because people have other addons colliding which cause issues.

You only need uBlock origin; get rid of Ghostery, Privacy Badger, adblock for youtube or any of that other stuff. Other extensions can cause uBlock to not work correctly.

> Do NOT use uBO with any other content blocker. uBO performs as well as or better than most popular blockers. Other blockers can prevent uBO's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working correctly.

And of course, a lot of modern "dvd players" do not properly transmit closed captions as subtitles over HDMI, so that sure isn't helping

A slightly off topic but interesting video about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSCOQ6vnLwU

The article links to https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/pocketbook-basic-lux-4-ink-b... for pocketbooks in the UK

Also after scrolling halfway down the page it decided to change from dark to light theme and I felt like I got flashbanged

Thanks for that

Wouldn't this be blocked by a CSP that doesn't allow unsafe-inline?

Joplin can export all of your notes as markdown right now using the export feature. It is not how Joplin works with it internally, but if it did shut down tomorrow, all of your notes can still be exported as plain text markdown into another editor, such as Obsidian.

Yeah I definitely do that too. I've never really thought about why I use that language, but thinking about it, it feels like a short hand and slightly politer way of saying

> The main downside I see is that its runtime code size footprint is much larger than Zod.

Yes, it unfortunately really does bloat your bundle a lot, which is a big reason I personally chose to go with Valibot instead (it also helps that it's a lot closer to zods API so it's easier to pickup).

Thanks for linking that issue, I'll definitely revisit it if they can get the size down.

Yeah, Jellyfin is a fantastic server but their clients are very hit or miss, I just hook it up to kodi and have had basically no problems.

The rhetoric around Firefox is so exhausting. They change some wording while having made no actual technical changes to the browser and the internet is on fire for days calling them the devil incarnate, meanwhile Chrome gutted uBlock and other extensions a week ago and there was barely any noise about it.

What causes this phenomenon where the project with significantly less resources is held to a higher standard than the other players?

Wait... so they browser says it's supports manifest v2 and lets you install v2 extensions, but then they just silently don't work? That's pretty confusing behavior. Why even offer them if they're blocked on an OS level?

Under GDPR, you must opt-in. So blocking the popup is the same as no consent, if you're in the EU.

I don't trust random sites on the internet to follow the law anyway, so nuking your cookies and localstorage when you close the browser or navigate away is what you should be doing if you're concerned about this sort of thing. Obviously sites I need to stay logged into get on the allowlist.

I think you fixed the one below the puffer.ai image, but not the one above Authors.

Heads up, clicking "Next Page" just takes you to an empty screen, you have to use the navigation links on the left if you want to get read past the first screen.

Yeah, they could promote pmos (or maybe something like postos) to more prominently feature as a primary keyword, but in today's age of minimalism where it feels like every project is a single syllable word clashing with 100 others like it, I love a name that actually just says what it is on the tin.

Like another poster, I tried to help a friend move to Linux recently and he had an nvidia card, and it was nothing but problems. He eventually went back to windows and I don't blame him.

But instead of random anecdotes, here's valves word on it: https://www.pcguide.com/news/nvidia-drivers-are-holding-back...

Why is it that the question is always "how can we increase birthrates?"

All modern countries are facing similar problems with falling birth rates. At some point the crows will come home to roost and we'll have to tackle the actual problem - that we have an unsustainable economic system that relies on constant growth. The human population can't grow infinitely, especially while we're still constrained to a single rock in space.

Just a quick bullet point list of differences from the top of my head:

- Half Life has much faster run and gun gameplay (stemming from it's quake roots no doubt), while in Black Mesa it's much slower paced

- The AI in the game is completely different, Black Mesa's soldiers feel way more aggressive, again encouraging a slower pace of play compared to the original

- Lots of levels have small changes - some are cool, others kinda feel like they're just different for the sake of being different

- Xen itself is completely different; Unpopular opinion, I liked the original! It feels otherwordly and alien and oppressive, the new one is certainly pretty but lacks that atmosphere, imo

Black Mesa is a great game, one thing I have nothing but praise for is it's presentation - it's really nice to look at and they did a bang up job with the graphics and animations. But which is better is a matter of opinion, and personally I much prefer how HL1 actually feels to play.

It's good this was rolled back, but the fact this got to production in the first place is worrying; it's baffling that anyone at any stage thought this was even remotely acceptable.

I always defaulted to AWS but this has me reconsidering other options for the future.

From what I can tell reading the pagure.io thread (https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/463#comment-95541...) the claim from Fedora is that is that OBS is using an EOL qt. It's hard to follow exactly what the issues are with the Fedora flatpak but I can only assume they forcefully updated qt and that's what caused the issues (just a guess from the context).

There's a lot of interesting debate in the linked thread about Fedora giving leeway to "verified" flatpaks, or what they're calling "probably safe" apps that do not request too many permissions, so even if there are vulnerabilities in the source then due to the nature of flatpaks, they won't be able to cause much harm.

This is super fun!

One small thing which would be nice is the ability to just download the sqlite database myself so I could use my preferred application to query it, and just use the site for the brief, notes and submission.

Also a nitpick, while you say it's for "learning" SQL, I would probably expect something a little more guided, or at least some example queries, if the intention was to teach SQL. As it stands, if you don't know SQL you're probably going be completely lost as to what you should be doing. It's really cool, just not specifically as a learning tool.

I've been using strawberry since moving to linux since there was no good foobar2000 replacement but I just discovered fooyin these past couple of days and this is so convincingly close that I can pretend it's just foobar2000.

That's not to throw any shade on strawberry, it's also incredibly good, but foobar2000 will always have it's claws in me.

Yeah, I just went through this process myself on steam deck and the fact it can't access opengl or vulkan natively makes anything that isn't terminal based a massive pain in the ass.

There is nixgl which you can wrap around any executable to make it work and it's got support in home-manager (https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml#o...) but it's a huge annoyance having to wrap `config.lib.nixGL.wrap <package>` around everything you want to install.

Wow I had no idea this existed, thanks!

It's cool that it even allows you to to get past captchas with JS disabled, I like this a lot.

It's entirely possible - just stop redesigning your UI every 3 years to justify someones paycheck.

No-one cares if the underlying architecture changes, so long as the user facing experience remains stable.

I'm not an advanced user of pdfs so I'm not sure if there's anything major missing from these, but either Okular or just the built-in browser ones works well enough for my basic needs of reading and the occasional form filling for the desktop, and on android I use muPdf.

Microsoft: We love open source!

Microsoft: No wait, not like that!

Apologies, for some reason I was convinced you could get a proper modal using the popover api but you're right, it's not a proper modal.

Yes, but in the article I posted:

> Popovers created using the Popover API are always non-modal. If you want to create a modal popover, a <dialog> element is the right way to go.

> You can turn a <dialog> element into a popover (<dialog popover> is perfectly valid) if you want to combine popover control with dialog semantics.
