I’m so fed up of these cookie popups requiring a few extra clicks to reject, are there any extensions that will automatically opt out or reject additional cookies?
Ok, so I’ve been thinking for a bit, and I know there’s a ton of alternative “libre” frontends for websites like YouTube and Reddit. However, I was thinking: what If I just wanted to make my own frontend? Not specifically for the intentions of “libre”, but I wanted to change the controls and appearence of the...
A website is just textfiles that your browser downloads. You can open the debug menu and read them, and even edit them. Sometimes the files are minified or obfuscated and you need to use some special tools to make them readable. But the core concept is: the files are on your pc, you can do with them whatever you want.
If you don’t know how to start, it seems to me that you wouldn’t have enough skill to succeed. So instead I’d suggest you start with what’s called “userscripting” (greasemonkey or similar). Userscripting is a way to modify a website on the fly. For example you could remove some elements, reposition elements, add buttons with new functionality etc. That will let you start with your goal on a small scale, possibly with some compromises from your vision. But you will be able to get into the general workflow and get results in a reasonable timeframe.
If you want to do it properly you have to study the API, which can be either publicly documented or you have to read the websites source to reverse engineer it. Then you just program a website like usual which uses the API and does something with the results. If there are already open source frontends, and no public API docs, you can read those projects source instead, which is easier than reverse engineering.
I exhaled from my nose, but at the end this joke doesn’t seem fair.
I’ve been running Artix for years, because I wanted to try it out for fun and now am too lazy to switch, cause most things just work. I update weekly just fine and sometimes I have to write an init file for openrc.
The biggest pain point was when I was trying to debug an issue which crashed KDE and realised that there is no journalctl ofc.
We already had fig.io and while it isn’t officially open source, their obfuscating efforts (at least on linux) are very pathetic to the point where they might have as well just put it up on github.
Oh and a huge negative is that they have been recently aquired by amazon. I don’t know whether thats worse than microsoft.
I bought a Pinephone out of curiosity and while it has been fun to play with, I am looking to repurpose it to something else. Has anyone found a good use for it, maybe incorporated into a smart home setup or something along those lines?
I don’t understand. Are there places where using chatGPT for papers is illegal?
The state where I live explicitly allows it. Only plagiarism is prohibited. But making chatGPT formulate the result of your scientific work, or correct the grammar or improve the style, etc. doesn’t bother anybody.
If you use chatGPT you should still read over it, because it can say something wrong about your results and run a plagiarism tool on it because it could unintentionally do that. So whats the big deal?

Everybody I know uses whatsapp, but they also use threema because every time I get asked for whatsapp I tell them that I am only on threema.
Worked out fine. Everybody that actually wants to chat with me got it. And after some privacy related whatsapp news they made their friends migrate and so on.
For other cases there is plain old calls and emails. Chat is really just a small convenience and not necessary at all. I’d never sacrifice my privacy for.
