Not gonna complain to see investments made into an open platform.

I suggest whoever has old firmware files to upload them to the Internet Archive (if they allow those).

Hotdog / Not Hotdog

But yeah, having a semantical image filter could do be a good first line, of course with human oversight.

Can you extract your cookie and pass it to yt-dlp?

AI trends

Yeah that part kinda sucks, but it’s not all bad. For example, there’s the offline translation engine that relies on a trained model that runs entirely locally, which is kinda neat and great privacy-wise.

I think you mostly just need to block incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org

I put the conditioner in my hair, then let it sit a couple of minutes while I wash the rest of my body. When I’m done I rinse it all in one go.

God damn leech

Which validates the point that buying a game on pre-sale or Day 1 is a terrible idea.

One more reason not to buy ebooks from Amazon.

Epic is doing me a favor, I get to keep my money while I play my backlog, then I buy the game on Steam / GOG for cheaper later on.

The average modern website takes more than this per page to display its content… it’s absurd.

I’m surprised DOGE themselves aren’t using it to skirt FOIA.

Or maybe they are.

Personally I stick to relatively legal IPTV playlists, such as https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv

Straight and to the point, no bullshit.

The only place where I struggle is finding the perfect player. On PC I use iptvnator and on Android I use IPTV Pro. They work well enough, but I wish I had a universal app that could carry the configuration between devices.

Service-specific link shorteners are alright, like youtu.be, a.co and goo.gl/maps. At least know roughly where you’re going.

For anything else, I rather see the full URLs, and if I need to share a link on a paper medium, I also make it available in a QRcode form.

It simply uses the “Not Hotdog” algorithm from Silicon Valley.

On a more serious note, it likely does on-device pattern recognition, similar to how other apps like TIDY works and will put a warning/blur if the image matches specific keywords.

Not sure why they didn’t just merge the capability into the Private Compute Services app instead.

Yeah I’m not saying Bridgefy is better, just that it’s available on both major mobile platforms while Briar isn’t. I do prefer Briar on technical and privacy levels.

Bridgefy was used more during protests since it’s available on both iOS and Android, while Briar is Android only.

One way to avoid recurrent leaks is to foster a culture of trust and not be a ginormous dickwad.

It’s only illegal if it’s enforced
