Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow


For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions.

What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151.

Klingon therapist: "the battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat."

Linux is Getting a Free Pass on Age Verification in California and Colorado


Other open source software gets similar treatment, with Colorado going as far as explicitly excluding code repositories and container platforms.

My inbox is flooded with doomsayers and fear mongering about how they're going to kill Linux because of this and no matter how hard I tried to convince them that it would be physically impossible to enforce such a law/rule on open source software they just wouldn't listen.

Looks like the blokes in calif had to eat a lot of truth to come to this decision.

O, before you comment I am fully expecting more doomsayers. So please enlighten me.

in reply to quips

Yet.

But it doesn't need to be once the data exists, corporations can build their websites however they like once the data is mandated to exist. Think about how your browser, if not chrome, will often break/slow down on YouTube because google wants you to use chrome/have ads play on YouTube. Or how captcha will just sometimes break and force you to use a chrome browser (which exposes a bunch of data)...cause google again. None of that is mandated by law.

Don't forget the legislation is funded by Meta. They want that delicious, scrumptious data that will help them legally avoid COPPA and target/collect data on child accounts and get them addicted while young.

And I know we will. We're cool like that.

I agree, and I desperately want a Linux phone, but the really problem with Linux phones gaining traction is that is the developers are DEVELOPERS.

"I make $200,000 a year... how much should a good smartphone cost... how about $700? It's a bargain!"

I get that making hardware is expensive, but asking people to jump into something with a learning curve and real sacrifices at a premium price is just guaranteeing it stays niche - especially when asking an audience that by and large has to have an Android as a backup for some apps anyway.

And this is coming from someone with no fewer than 16 machines running various Linux distros in his house. You can't ask someone to spend that much on a secondary phone to play with until they get comfortable enough with it to switch completely. You just can't. It's barely working for the Linux OS, and that's free.

I'm sure it's very difficult to compete with the established duopoly of Apple and Google.

How are you supposed to make a product cheap against those enormous economies of scale, all while knowing very few people will want it or buy it when it doesn't have any apps for reasons of that same duopoly?

Linux phones absolutely are a niche project with sacrifices, as you said, and the only people who can bear the cost of entry at the moment will be a niche market of engineers and tinkerers.

It would be nice to get the price down to that of the consumer market, but the whole experience is still not even ready for consumers.

The hardware isn't expensive (I run Linux on a phone that cost me 80 euros), the software development is.

Also, SailfishOS runs on some Xperia phones that cost around a hundred euros. The main issue with SailfishOS is that the OS isn't free software as parts are proprietary and they don't use a mainline kernel, so that you will probably bot be able to run an up to date kernel after a while.

in reply to mycodesucks

I'm a developer and i won't buy a 700€ phone lol!!

I know the specs I need/want and go hunting, which excludes all apple and so on.

My sweet spot is Xiaomi, stellar performance (it's like a developer phone but cheap IMO) and cheap. Loads of variants and price ranges, and lots of second hand where I live, got my latest for 300€ and it's a "flagship killer" with specs like a modern PC (almost) and LEICA cameras.

With a bit of #blur in #phoc we can have more vivid backgrounds while text still remains easy to read. As this happens on the compositor side there's basically no performance impact (but we rely on two small, not yet merged wlroots patches). This is mostly groundwork for more things to come.

Gamepad on-screen keyboard for Linux - looking for Wayland testers

I've been wanting a better on-screen keyboard for my TV gaming box. The Steam on-screen keyboard gets cut off at the edges of the screen when I run KDE at 1.25x DPI scale.

Is there any chance that this would work as a Flatpak? The machine I want to use this on runs Bazzite, though it'd be helpful for running it on other distros too.

I chose the butterfly (Tvffolopv, Duf-fol-obuh in Mvskoke) to highlight in this years Pride collection because it symbolizes rebirth and transformation. Like every living thing, human beings grow and change. It is the natural way of things. Two-Spirit, trans, and nonbinary people are essential to our communities; likewise butterflies and other pollinators are essential to their ecosystems.

Raspberry Pi raises prices by as much as 70% in response to RAM price increases


Part of the reason that Raspberry Pi’s single-board computers have been popular with hobbyists, educators, and others is that they’re cheap. The original Raspberry Pi computer sold for $35 when it first launched in 2012, and the company kept that starting price for every new model introduced over the following decade before bumping the starting price a little bit with the introduction of the […]
