Fancy-ass front-end to their OpenAI API? Meh...

What's the last one from the top row? The Pirate Bay? :)

I bet legally, the establishment owners aren't required to give "service charges" to their staff the same way they are required to give 100% of the tips...

This is some shady shit, IMO.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer (so I don't know WTF I am talking about), so if someone here that knows the law could comment on "service charges" vs. "tips" in this context, I would love to know.

Bitwarden extension for Firefox loads but doesn't seem able to autofill... but it works (note: I have a self-hosted VaultWarden server, not BitWarden's cloud service).

Maybe uBlock Origin will work? It seems to be advertised on their website.

Given that this thing is a beta and based on functionality so far, I am impressed. I wish there were a way to tweak the built-in ad and tracker blockers (e.g., add/remove custom lists), but this is already impressive for the iOS/iPadOS walled garden.

Good to know. I had no idea it needs a Windows store client…

There’s GameVault.

The Defiant was a “tough little ship.” 😉

That’s a pretty hefty solution. Gitlab is a monster nowadays…

GOGS, Gitea/Forgejo can do 90% of what Gitlab does and are much lighter.

Fair enough. Are there extensions for Chromium/Firefox that do multi-device sync properly (e.g. strictly peer to peer)?

Did not know that… thanks!

I’d take waterfox off that list. AFAIK it’s dev sold out.

They implement profile syncing (bookmarks, cookies, history, etc) using blockchain. AFAIK the data is encrypted with your private key which is derived from a mnemonic phrase, so it’s probably ZK.

I like choice. I use Librewolf with Adnauseam for sites that are in the super sketchy category, and Brave for everything else.

Using Noscript is safe, sure, but I’m not into 1992 web browsing, except at nerdout parties where we try using an old 486 laptop running Windows 95 and Netscape 4.01 to browse today’s web.

My point is that there are reasonable steps and compromises one can take to protect their privacy somewhat. Achieving Snowden level protection is cool, but not my cup of tea; too much of a compromise and loss of functionality, sorry. Sure, you can drop a nuke (like NoScript) in retaliation, but that’s overkill and will break most modern sites out there.

Brave, on the other hand, is based on uBlock Origin with actively maintained filters. It’s also 100% compatible with custom filters too. It’s also nicely deGoogled out of the box, so that’s definitely a bonus.

I am one of those people.

I am sure those who bought bitcoin relatively early and are sitting on $100K+ worth of bitcoin disagree…

You can turns that off… also those ads are text notifications that are shown at predetermined (by the user) time intervals.

Brave for Chromium and Librewolf for Mozilla.

I sympathize with artists too, but to a point. I predict that:

1. AI art will overtake human art eventually; that is human art jobs will be mostly replaced. Day to day art (e.g. ads, illustrations, decorations, billboards etc) will likely be AI generated.
2. Human art will become something akin to a home cooked meal in a sea of fast food art. This might actually make some artists famous and rich.
3. Humans will continue to learn art, but more as a pastime/hobby/mental exercise.

Well, they should prepare for a crapton of new datacenters to be built there. 😂
