now that you pointed it out, it feels backwards because you can learn more about a thing, but can’t actively learn less, so “knowing less” reads as reversing a one way proess.

Anyways isn’t it also weird, then, that there is an extension called pi blocker? Or pie blocker?

that’s probably their goal, confusing users who sort of heard about PiHole at some point but don’t remember the name or where to get it from.

it was way too simple for my taste, I switched back to Strawberry 5 minutes after trying it out.

It’s still experimental

and it’s been that way for the past few versions, which is probably why they don’t mention it in the changelog just yet

so another GUI for yt-dlp?

the news about climate crisis and increasing international tensions make people (rightfully) more and more worried about their lives and well-being, so it’s easy to sell Going Back To How It Used To Be as the solution

do you also think it’s okay to, say, use an N-word for Black people who commit crimes?

oh, they’re not cloning faces, the way I thought they did on the first four reads.

pretty good analysis of Mozilla’s situation by TechAltar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw-XYrMFb0A

given that that’s where they got 85% of their money from? yeah, probably.

it’s on by default in beta, off in stable.

an open source service gets bought/joins an AI company to develop a closed source version of the same service, while leaving the code ot the old clients open.

Its still open source

the code for the client they’re about to abandon is, that’s about it. the new service doesn’t share its source code.

“oh neat, the scorpion is paying me to carry it through the river!”

the creator delayed the launch because he had to write the legalese for the service, and on top of that I think he’s waiting for the app stores to approve the app (the service isn’t available through a browser).

he mentioned in the past that the videos will be automatically deleted after some period of time, so that should make the storage situation a little bit more manageable.

At what price point would this device be useful?

given that it’s horribly bad at what it claims to do and was a fire risk? not even a zero point.

usually the built-in phone app will have an option to block calls from unidentified callers, no app needed.
