Lol… well this is ironic

Starting in June 2023 and Chrome 115, Google “may run experiments to turn off support for Manifest V2 extensions in all channels, including stable channel.” Also starting in June, the Chrome Web Store will stop accepting Manifest V2 extensions, and they’ll be hidden from view. In January 2024, Manifest V2 extensions will be removed from the store entirely.

Google says Manifest V3 is “one of the most significant shifts in the extensions platform since it launched a decade ago.” The company claims that the more limited platform is meant to bring “enhancements in security, privacy, and performance.” Privacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) dispute this description and say that if Google really cared about the security of the extension store, it could just police the store more actively using actual humans instead of limiting the capabilities of all extensions.

The big killer for ad block extensions comes from changes to the way network request modifications work. Google says that “rather than intercepting a request and modifying it procedurally, the extension asks Chrome to evaluate and modify requests on its behalf.” Chrome’s built-in solution forces ad blockers and privacy extensions to use the primitive solution of a raw list of blocked URLs rather than the dynamic filtering rules implemented by something like uBlock Origin. That list of URLs is limited to 30,000 entries, whereas a normal ad block extension can come with upward of 300,000 rules.

Zapster amirite

Well, digital piracy.

But ye olde Black Beard and the modern Somalian type is very much theft.

Only if logging out actively invalidates session tokens, which appears to have not been the case. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3364

Great recipe! I didn’t have any cheese so I substituted for peanut butter, and thought some jelly might go good with it too so I added that in as well. My oven only goes to 1500 so I put it in the freezer instead.

It’s a lot easier to shovel a foot of snow thrice than it is to shovel 3 feet of snow that’s compacted, melted down a bit, formed a freezing layer on top and ice on the bottom, and now your shovel is broke because you were trying to pry up that ice with 60lb of snow on top of it.

But at that point you say fuck it and just pay a guy to swing by with his plow and throw out some salt.

I appreciate the sentiment though.

They have a name. They are called communities. A user subscribes to communities.

Brain make people dumb

Neutral opinion: any opinion can be popular or unpopular if posed to the right (or wrong) audience

Celebrity AMAs have been shitty ads that don’t actually answer questions anyway. Nothing of value was lost.

Giving Nazis a platform is fucking cringe.

And it’s not even July yet. Once those apps stop working, people will certainly notice.

“We have investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”

It’s a good thing Texas is on its own non-federally regulated energy grid or someone might have lost a few dollars spending money to weatherize and properly maintaining it.

But its not like they could have known after it failed in 2011 that not bothering to address the issues causing those failures for a decade would leave it susceptible to another failure. It’s obviously the customers fault for relying on the system to keep their families warm in freezing temperatures and not booking a flight to Cancun to escape the ‘once in a lifetime weather event’ that Texas has seen several times in fractions of a lifetime.

Not the most interesting but I feel like you definitely need pizza. With anchovies of course.

Feels like this Beehaw section of the article is missing the mark in it’s failure to recognize Lemmy or the Fediverse as a whole.

IPv4 is the old standard of Internet Protocol addresses that you’re probably familiar with (something like 192.168.1.10, although the 192.168.x.x range is actually only private addresses). It’s still used on most devices today but it only supports up to ~4.3 billion addresses and as you can imagine, those addresses have basically run out with all of the various devices and servers and whatever else is connected to the internet. IPv4 is in the process of being replaced by the new (10 27* year old) IPv6, but there are still a lot of old devices and a need to support the old protocol. Making IPv6 available for this server will mean any devices connected to the internet should be able to communicate with the server on this new protocol.

As for DNSSEC, when you go to resolve a a hostname, like lemmy.world, your computer will make a request to a DNS server to figure out what IP address it needs to navigate to in order to access the server. In theory, someone could intercept your DNS request and tell you an address for the server that isn’t actually the address for the server, but rather a malicious host. DNSSEC basically acts as a layer of security to help confirm that information you’re getting on your DNS request is good and true.

How does Redact handle the current API rate limits on Reddit? I’ve been using Power Suite Delete the past few days to purge my footprint and help incentive myself to move on, but every pass consistently has comments that aren’t overwritten because it’s hitting limits and moving on instead of queueing actions.

Also, I’ve noticed apparently not all of my account’s content is listed consistently which is why I’ve been running it for a few days now. Every couple hours a few new posts or comments are shown that were just nowhere to be found before.
