Google announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as #uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).
The new #Chrome manifest will prevent using custom filters and stops on demand updates of blocklist. Only #Google authorized updates to browser extension will be allowed in the future, which mean an automatic win for Google in their battle to stop YouTube #AdBlockers .
#ManifestV3 is deceitful and threatening to your privacy, and now is a good time to switch to #Firefox (@mozilla) and/or #TorBrowser (@torproject) if you haven't done so already!

@starshipgazer @elonmusk that was such an impressive launch fare well ship 25! Did you see it in person?
@mntmn your welcome now worries!
@mntmn https://forums.puri.sm/t/update-mar-25th-testing-quectel-em12-g-wwan-4g-modem-on-librem-5/19683 if i send you a EM12-G would you like to give that one a try as well? I was never able to get it to work myself but maybe things have changed on the driver or kernel support side.
@jz also seems like an issue with collaboration, or lack of trying to help each other out especially in the sparse area of open source camera apps
@vacuumbeef ok thank you for the explanation that is what i was wondering about, inadvertent gesture activation that was unintended by the user, great to hear though that its pretty solid already
@vacuumbeef damn that is awesome! seems really intuitive, how do you prevent them from being triggered when you scroll in a browser page up down but diagonally if user isnt using precise scrolling touch input

#120 Updated Documentation

Running Mobian with Debian Trixie 13.0 on Librem 5 and yet have to find anything wrong that would want me to switch back to Debian 11 based Byzantium PureOS. On the surface it appears identical with a few more options and slightly different default settings. Kinda diapppointed Mobian doesnt install openvpn plugin as default for the image. Instead only wireguard is default, i mean comeon 8)
@Gargron my experience is that the 1st class wagons need to be moved to the front i dont know why for more expensive seats you have to walk through 8 wagons while the train is moving if you travel with bikes which are in the first wagon for ICE not well thought out, alternatively adding a bicycle wagon for first class since there are never enough bicycle spots
