I could have done so many useful things on a Sunday. But instead I've finished these 100 audio cassette designs using the GNOME color palette.

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!

UK policing minister Chris Philp has said he wants to give the police access to the UK’s passport database, which will mean that public facial recognition cameras can identify all of us. It will mean the End of Privacy in Public. Join our campaign to hold your MP to account:

I ever so often close the 🎵- player and when grabbing the 📱 I'd have to unlock it to just start the 🎵 player and then 🔒 the 📱 right away again (as there's #mpris controls on the 🔒-screen then anyway).

Hence I wrote a small #phosh plugin to add arbitrary "launchers" to the 🔒-screen via a desktop file.
This is very simplistic atm (as we e.g. don't track app-state) but gets the job done initially.

I only used it for that purpose but there's other potential use cases:

Mastodon has Dominatrix too, except everything is compliant to health and safety under dark conditions regulations as per EN ISO 20471.
