The article is not about ads, let alone "ad networks".

>somewhere

You mean on a VPS that you also rented from someone else, therefore essentially moving your traffic from your ISP to...?

So we're linking random reddit memes now? https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/mv2-sunset/ This is about Manifest v2 extensions no longer running from January 2023 onwards according the official Google time line.

Thanks! And people that don't have pulseaudio can replace `paplay` with `pw-cat -p` from pipewire.

>However, there isn't, and I don't think you'll find an offline tool that comes close in terms of quality of result.

There is: https://github.com/danielgatis/rembg

>Using a website on the other hand is like exchanging a few nice words

This is absolutely not true if you're supposed to upload (possibly private) images to some random server for e.g. background removal.

I like how this guy always mentions the lines of code of the tools he uses, especially for areas where security is critical.

>playing on paper

Printing is no longer necessary! GMPuzzles have been providing Penpa+ (a Javascript puzzle tool) links for all new puzzles for a while now and are in the process of backporting all their backlog puzzles for digital solving, too. It's really awesome :)

Yes. Dockerized Miniflux instance, >100 feeds. Wouldn't miss it for the world. I use it as PWA on both desktop and mobile. No complaints.

There is also "passage": https://github.com/FiloSottile/passage

It's pass with age-encryption instead of pgp.

At this point, I firmly believe that people just want to fuck with the "original" Bionic reading dude because he loves his patent a little too much and seems...not so nice.

I thought so, too, but maybe the author got a bit carried away with the bird analogies and needed a reason to add more bird photos (which is totally understandable).

1. Download the repo as zip and unpack.

2. Go to `chrome://extensions`, toggle `Developer Mode` in the upper right corner and click on `Load unpacked`.

3. Pick the folder from step one and you're good to go.

On any site, you can then click the extension button and text gets "converted", i.e. the first half of a word is bolded (="bionic reading"). The "algorithm" in this extension is:

  const length = word.length;
  const midPoint = Math.round(length / 2);
  const firstHalf = word.slice(0, midPoint);
  const secondHalf = word.slice(midPoint);
  const htmlWord = `<b>${firstHalf}</b>${secondHalf}`;
  return htmlWord;

It's over:

  I have removed all my apps from the Play store and I will stop supporting and maintaining my apps. Google won.

In case it's the official Linux client that's giving you headaches, you could also have a look here: https://github.com/Kyuunex/better_droidcam_linux_client/blob...

Just use `adb`, `ffmpeg` and the `v4l2loopback` kernel module.

I found my phone's camera together with DroidCam[0] to be good enough for my conferencing needs.

They mention exactly this in the article:

  This isn’t necessarily Google competing with companies like Privacy.com, which lets you create and use virtual cards across the web.

Thanks! This is great info.

I didn't know the details about different scopes and had always assumed the sites would obtain at least the name and email address, because all I ever saw was the prompt "To continue, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with <site>."

I quite like the "phone as hardware token" via Webauthn as 2FA. However, I've never used "Sign in with Google" and the likes because I don't want all the sites I'm using to get my "real" email address.

So I really hope Google et. al. will offer some kind of email address cloaking like Apple do with their private relay stuff. Knowing Google, they sure as heck won't, though.

Here's the joined announcement by Google, Apple and Microsoft under the FIDO alliance umbrella:

>I mean the fact that it's "Hallo" not "Hello" tells you a lot. This is developed on a budget.

Wait, what? Could you elaborate? How do you go from "Hallo" to low budget?

Pi-Hole, Prosody (XMPP server), Miniflux (RSS), Pass (password store, although it's only a git repo, so doesn't really count)

tl;dr They forgot to extend the reader mode flag's expiry date for v101.

Under chrome://flags, enable "Temporarily unexpire M100 flags" to bring Reader mode back.

The author uses a Fritz!Box router, which is a very popular device in Germany. Note that AVM, the company behind the routers, is working on providing Wireguard natively on their newer routers (no hardware-assisted encryption, though):

>who has already decided they don't care

Hm, I think it's not because people don't care, but rather because "blockchain" is (for many people) inextricably linked to shady fintech assholes that actually don't care about interesting technical concepts and intricacies behind DLT.

I read this twice just to be sure. Well done :)
