Recordatorio periódico por si aún no has conseguido desengancharte totalmente de las redes sociales que trafican con tus datos privados: desinstala la app móvil y recurre a su versión web con un navegador que respete a sus usuarios y admita extensiones para bloquear publicidad.

Twitter e Instagram desde con son mucho más llevaderas. Eso sí, no hay truco para eliminar su toxicidad o desfase con los bots.

Clean way to open / #X to cross post links, without having to stumble upon any Tweet or without seeing the timeline:

  • Origin
  • Element Picker: highlight and click the border between side menu and timeline
  • Click Create
  • Now when you open Twitter it will always be plain white
  • You can open the Compose URL (/compose/post), cross post and begone.

Empty, no timeline in sight.

If the Timeline appears again someday, just repeat the process to pick up the new CSS classes.

J'en avais marre de devoir passer la souris ou cliquer sur un article pour connaitre le titre entier.

Sur l'interface de par défaut, les titres des cartes de contenus sont limités à 2 lignes apparemment.
Du coup j'ai ajouté une règle dans pour augmenter à 4 lignes.

Simple, efficace, problème réglé. Merci le html qui n'est pas une soupe de div généré par un framework dégueu :

mastodon.xyz##.status-card.expanded .status-card__title:style(-webkit-line-clamp:4 !important)

La même chose, mais une fois le fix appliqué, cela permet de lire le titre en entier

In case anyone else is fed up of seeing the "Code 55% faster with Github Copilot" message on Github, the following filter works a treat with uBlock Origin

Online-Tools zur Messung der Wirksamkeit von Ad-Blockern sind leider wenig praxistauglich und liefern in Kombination mit Browser-Add-ons oft irreführende Ergebnisse. Am besten verzichtet man auf sie und verlinkt sie auch nicht, da gerade Anfänger/Einsteiger davon irritiert werden könnten. Empfehlt stattdessen die Installation von uBlock Origin und anderen zuverlässigen Ad-Block-Lösungen. 👇

Did not know that uBlock has a "disable large media" option.

When enabled it tries to block any media larger than a specified size (until you click on said media)

Less data to load means a faster and cheaper internet 😄

serves me really great for blocking DNS queries related to advertisement, tracking and unwanted or malicious hosts.

If I use the internet alone the block rate is about 0,1% because I only use software, and .

But if someone else with a "normal" phone is using the internet, too, PiHole has to block 8,1% of all queries!

I am still responsible for most of the traffic so just image the percentage if all clients were normal non-FOSS tracking devices!

Consider: implementation that uses the same filter lists but works as a streaming HTML parser/serializer.

Hmm... actually, @alcinnz how easy would it be to use your Haskell CSS selector implementation with a lazy larser to implement this? 🤔

What extensions do you use with Firefox for privacy/security? I currently use uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and Decentraleyes. Curious if there is something I'm missing or should replace.

Na obranu blokování reklamy

Poté, co se Youtube pustil do ostrého boje s blokátory reklamy, rozhořela se opět diskuse o tom, zda je v pořádku reklamy blokovat. Dlouho jsem byl na straně odmítačů blokování reklamy. Během svého života jsem napsal řadu článků pro různé časopisy a servery a vím, že obsah se zadarmo neudělá. Nicméně odvětví internetové reklamy zmorfovalo […]

No, thank you.

Not one Linux distro requires you to disable an ad-blocker to download their ISO. -- Just Vanilla OS.

They all respect people's privacy. Why is that such a hard concept for you to grasp?

121 for went out yesterday.

This version enables a lot more extensions.

The first extension you probably want is the Origin . Yes, it blocks almost every ad, but it also blocks the data collection attempts realted to those ads, which is as important.

Adblocking is particularly important right now as the web undergoes an enshittification cycle driven by the exposure of Google and Meta. They've stopped pretending to be not evil, the squeeze is on.

Leute, die sich darüber beklagen, dass sie viel zu viel Werbung sehen, mit Cookie-Bannern belästigt werden, etc.

Werbebanner () wie z.B. Pro, Origin, oder was es noch alles gibt, installieren. Fertig!

Historii z blokiem od YouTube ciąg dalszy. Okazało się, że uBlock jest niewykrywany przez YT i mogę normalnie oglądać filmy, gdy tylko wyłączę dodatek do uBlocka.

Żeby było zabawniej, to dodatek dzięki któremu dodawałem kanały ulubionych twórców do whitelisty pozwalającej na wyświetlanie na nich reklam xD

Muszę Googlowi przyznać, że pomysł z blokowaniem odtwarzania filmów na YouTube przez osoby używające adblockerów okazał się bardzo skuteczny.

Przed chwilą, niecały dzień po tym, jak dostałem trzy ostrzeżenia, a potem całkowitego bloka, wykupiłem subskrypcję. Co prawda na nebula.tv, ale zawsze xD

Informacje o subskrypcji serwisu Nebula: „Nebula Yearly, $30 Yearly”
