The last bullet point might be the most impactful. Google should know the rules by now.

I really do wonder why more people aren’t using Delta Chat.

Anyway. I remember using Session for a few months a couple of years ago. Something about the interface was bugging me. It felt sluggish.

YouTube’s pricing is a mess. Here’s a quick breakdown of their offer here in France :

• YouTube Premium (so video + music): 12€/m

• YouTube Music Premium (music only, obviously): 10€/m

One would assume based on this that Google values YouTube at only 2€/m per user. But anyway, let’s take a look at their family plans for a laugh:

• YouTube Premium (6 users): 18€/m

• YouTube Music Premium (6 users still): 15€/m

Let’s put aside the price discrepancy. 18/6 = 3€/m per user. All signs point to Google being ok with making between 2 and 3€ per user per month, yet such an offer doesn’t exist. Hell, make it 4€, even. People would flock to it. But no, they’re just being greedy.

Sideload uYou+ or set up Yattee. If you don’t know how to do any of those things, look into DNS based ad-filtering like ControlD and install Video Lite. Or skip the DNS part and only install Video Lite, but you’ll see in-app ads unless you pay the $12/y subscription.

Obviously not.

If you’re saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I’m sorry but I wouldn’t know. Not because I didn’t try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.

Edit: cointelegraph, not “cointelegram.”

Kind of explains why he isn’t posting there then, doesn’t it?

Because it isn’t secure at all?

They silently dropped that motto eons ago.

You’re welcome :-)

Is wipr an extension?

Yep. It isn’t a full-on app like Adguard.

what’s the privacy like

Here’s the succinct privacy notice. Nothing whatsoever is collected.

is it open source

Pretty sure it isn’t.

People suggesting DNS filtering are missing the point. Yes, people should do it, but for cosmetic stuff you need a browser extension.

Anyway. I used to use Adguard. Like you, I noticed how slow it was making Safari. Worse, sometimes it simply wouldn’t work even though it was supposedly active.

I gave Ghostery a try. It worked. No slowdowns or anything. Then I settled for Wipr. You can’t add custom lists to it, but at least it works as intended and doesn’t seem to slow down Safari.

I only ditched Ghostery because I don’t exactly trust them. Otherwise it was working perfectly, too.

PS: I am obviously also using a custom DNS server. I’m a ControlD customer.

Oh, indeed! I missed the fact there was a second script. So there’s one for Mlmym and another for “regular” Lemmy instances. My bad.

(It’s still got the @match https://*/* that I dislike, though.)

Because it only works via the Mlmym frontend, supposedly. Give it a go: https://o.opnxng.com/lemmy.nicknakin.com/

I haven’t tested it myself. I hate scripts with dodgy website checks. The author should have hardcoded the known Mlmym instances instead. (or maybe that’s just a “me” problem.)

inb4 but this way the script needs less maintenance

If the Mlmym dev renames the “spacer” or “icon” classes for any reason or if he changes Mlmym’s HTML structure, this script would stop working immediately.

And anyway, running a check on every page your browser visits to determine if it is a Mlmym instance or not is simply inefficient and, I’d argue, bad practice, security-wise.

La SNCF m’avait envoyé un e-mail pour se vanter de ça et c’est vrai que moi aussi, ça m’avait fait tiquer.

Surtout que depuis quoi, un an (?), ils ont rendu le système de contact avec le service client encore plus compliqué en forçant le passage par un chatbot à la con. C’est vraiment minable. Si ça ça peut obtenir le titre de “service client de l’année”, je n’ose pas imaginer la qualité des autres entreprises françaises.

Their lifetime offers come and go, actually, because otherwise they would bankrupt themselves.

hands feel even

Strangely enough I know exactly what she meant by that. Over a decade ago I used to do this thing with words and sentences. Take the word “word”, for example. W goes to the left. O goes to the right. R goes to the left and so D goes to the right. We ended on the right, so it’s fine. But if we ended on the left, then I had to add another word and turn this little mental exercise into a decent sentence.

Sentences were kind of cheating, though, because even if I ended on the left then I just added a dot, which would fill a single “spot” and so make me “end on the right.”

Yep. Convoluted, I know. It used to keep me up at night.

Oh mais je veux uniquement annoter des PDF ! Seulement voilà, Draw va avoir tendance à changer la police des zones de texte présentes dans le PDF, même quand ces polices sont présentes sur ton système. Ça fait qu’en plus de faire mes annotations, je dois aussi faire de la mise en page. Pas fou !

Donc si SimplePDF ne vandalise pas le texte existant comme le fait Draw, ça me fera déjà gagner pas mal de temps !

Pas de support PWA

OK ça marche, merci pour l’info :-)

Cool, je vais tester à l’occasion. Merci ! Pour le moment je modifie les PDF avec Libre Office Draw mais la gestion des polices de caractère est assez désastreuse avec ça. Rien d’insurmontable, mais ça reste chiant de remettre en page quoi. J’espère que SimplePDF fonctionnera mieux ;-)

Du coup le fonctionnement hors-ligne est supporté, si je l’installe en tant que PWA ? (J’ai pas accès à un PC pour essayer là tout de suite.)

sun my balls

Sun his balls?

C’est génial ça, merci !
