  • Firefox Has Quietly Integrated Brave's Adblock Engine

    Jump

  • it can be used with all the same lists as uBlock origin

    Can it really? I mean, you already mentioned there's "no decent UI", which I take it to mean there's no way to customize the lists in Firefox, but can it be customized in Brave? Also, can it handle the blocking of Youtube Ads as effectively as uBO does?

    It's been ages since I've last tried Brave, so I really want to know. I may actually try and use it as backup chromium-based browser if that's the case.

  • Nearly Half of Europeans Want X Banned if it Continues to Break the Law

    Jump

  • What's different about X?

    Well, you kind of said it yourself: The fact that, since it's sadly still one of the largest social outlets, there's a whole economy around it. If Europe banned X tomorrow, a lot of people and companies would take a non-negligible hit to their revenue. We can argue that probably these people are not a majority of the other half of people in Europe that don't want X gone, but in the end, politicians and lawmakers care about money and (in a very distant second place) what the majority of their constituents say.

  • Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

  • Same here, and unfortunately there is no digital wallet providers in my country other than Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Apple Pay.

  • California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup

    Jump

  • I did scroll down all the way to the comments section, and nothing.

    Disabled uBlock, and sure enough, more of the article showed up.

  • Does GrapheneOS support Google Pay?

  • California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup

    Jump

  • Where, pray tell? Out of curiosity I went there to check it out, and the "article" is just 3 paragraphs that just barely expand on the title. Maybe uBlock is triggering some invisible paywall there for me?

  • Have you guys played Super Mario Bros Remastered???

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I remember too, at least for the original SMB. I think OP is either misremembering or haven't really played the original.

    SMB3 did have that though.

  • RAM prices soar, but popular Windows 11 apps are using more RAM due to Electron, Web components

    Jump

  • Maybe not Javascript as a language, but the framework it requires to get applications written with it running, which is a lot. And in a roundabout way, it kinda has a little to do with the language itself, as the reason electron got so popular in the first place is because it catered to web developers who either couldn't be bothered or couldn't figure out proper desktop app devlopment, so they went with the easy short-term path. And Javascript kinda is an easy language to pick up and write simple.projects in - now, maintaining more complex applications with it is another story.,.

  • MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On

    Jump

  • I'm comfortable with the terminal and messing around with config files.

    I still rolled my eyes at how the user seem to have no understanding of what's the actual convenience that Plex/jellyfin provides. Hint: playing/streaming videos is the least of them.

  • I'm so hyped about Denis Villeneuve working on the film adaptation. Too bad it's going to take a few years with how much he's got in his plate right now.

  • Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever

    Jump

  • You're being obtuse. The nuance here is that Bill Gates being.a bad person and his charity org having done some good in the world are facts that are not necessarily dependent or correlated with each other. That's all. The fact that Gates might be using his org to prop his image is also a consequence of his character, and doesn't take away from the good the charity has done. Or would you rather the charity didn't exist at all just so your thirst for consistency would be appeased, all the while people would be dying?

  • Same. At this point I think he probably did it more to indulge those who wanted that to happen than actually wanting or caring about it.

  • Do you think Lemmy has a culture separate from Reddit or is it basically the same?

    Jump

  • Wooosh isn't a reddit thing though. I used to see it regularly way back in the slashdot days.

  • Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement"

    Jump

  • Not quite "steal", but they removed license and attribution information, which is a no-no and license infringement for sure.

    But yeah, this is all of no consequence.

    Edit: I just read DacoTaco's post below. Looks like there was no direct code liftup from RTEMS then, so I guess it's even more of a fuss over nothing.

  • Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement"

    Jump

  • At its peak, sure. But I mean, how many people do you know who still have a Wii and actually uses it? I happen to have one and it's actually plugged into my TV, but even I rarely play it.

    I keep tabs from afar, and the only activity I can see in the homebrew scene is the revival of some online games (by bringing up custom/reverse-enginnered servers + patching the games, e.g. Mario Kart, Call of Duty Black Ops, etc.), but other than that, the homebrew scene on the Wii is mostly dead.

  • Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement"

    Jump

  • It hasn't received an official release in almost 10 years, so who cares. It probably has been feature complete longer than that, on a console that at this point is almost twice as old with a miniscule community.

  • I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

    Jump

  • Have you read the PR linked above? The submitter points out (when the maintainer starts getting defensive) that Zen has more social trackers whitelisted than Firefox (not even Librewolf). Which going only by that metric would put Zen as the least privacy-focused browser among the other forks, contradicting their own tagline.
