I prefer Windows giving programs time to shut down properly. You can always click on ‘shutdown anyways’ or whatever the button is called. Also what kind of programs do you run that take 45 seconds to shut down?

uMatrix once again to the rescue. It can block cookies. The only downside to uMatrix is that it dis-/allows based on su domain, so you can’t accept a log-in cookie and reject the tracking cookie, if they are served by the same subdomain.

Why does the article flip-flop between calling the guy a hacker and a researcher?

Good choice, but sadly, I already know and read that one. And it’s lately falling into the will-they-wont-they trap

Oh yeah? Then name me an action manga that also has a proper romance and no will-the-wont-they bullshit.

I’d actually caution against buying suspiciously cheap drives. There has been an epidemic of scammers selling (heavily) used drives as new.

Well, he had to be, programming his own AI basically by himself.

I’d take that yeet instead of return…

Then charmeleon must change more than just the user agent

What works? YT on Firefox or YT on Firefox when the user agent is changed?

I use Charmeleon, with the effects described above.

Youtube currently (for weeks now) does not work on Firefox, if you don’t use a Firefox user agent. Google doing sketchy things again.

How to play Ubisoft games without the Ubisoft Launcher:
Step 1) If you’re an EU citizen, sign this petition: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home
If you are not in the EU, you can check if there are any other initiatives for your country here: https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
Step 2) (Due to insurmountable pressure, which you definitely did your part in adding to, video games are now forced to have an end-of-life plan.
Step 3) Wait until the game you want to play without the Ubi Launcher hits its end-of-life
Step 4) Do whatever is necessary to get the game playable again, which the newly introduced law guarantees is possible
Step 5) Enjoy your game without the Ubi launcher

On Desktop, as soon as the tab bars are getting smaller to make room for more tabs on the screen, I feel like I have too many open.

And here I thought it was something like Second Life, a virtual world where you can ‘own’ property.

Mbin. Compatible with both Lemmy and Mastodon. Con: Mbin is even more beta software than Lemmy is. Lots of missing QoL.

In theory at least, online services would be more safe than a locally decrypted vault. If your computer is compromised, the bad actors can pull your encrypted vault for an unlimited brute force attack. Of course, this can be mitigated by increasing the decryption time. However, if your vault is already decrypted, then bad actors can just pull all your password from your memory.

I, for one, am decrypting my vault once when I start my PC. In theory, if I were to use an online solution, bad actors wouldn’t be able to pull my vault from memory.

As someone who has just enough knowledge to know how big the task of creating a performant way to propagate updates through the federation is, I really hope there are some smart people working on a solution. That is the biggest advantage reddit has over lemmy: Known and centralized hardware standards. Lemmy needs to find a way to make propagation work when half of all instances are hosted at home on consumer-grade hardware.
