All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up: Hello, mr. Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you! 🤣

Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

As it was written, so it begins.

There is no Manifest v3 compatible uBlock Origin. It is simply not possible.
Firefox has its problems and its controversies and plenty of dumb decisions, but Manifest v3 is not one of them. Going forward, some variant of Firefox will be your only bet if you want robust ad-blocking extensions.
A PiHole can only get you so far. Unless you want to run a full traffic intercepting proxy at home with SSL decryption, you need something at the application layer.

Please no! 😱

Happy bird day! 🦜
Hmmm… nope, the bird is dead. Happy Pleroma-tan day then 🤪

My old MacBook Pro doesn't give me CPU crashes and its fan is fine, but when I'm building LLVM it starts running on battery even though the power adapter is plugged in 😂
The adapter is probably not giving enough juice to power the early i7 in this thing. In approximately 7 hours is runs out and shuts off so I have to check on it periodically.

@kirby
Yeah, makes sense. Windows 98 is dated in more ways than you usually expect 😆

@kirby
I do remember that you still could install something for it to work, there are links to some generic drivers here: retrocomputing.stackexchange.c
But you still have to transfer them to the machine somehow. And it still doesn't work as good as it does in later Windows releases, e.g. there is no tray icon to unmount and remove the USB drive.

@kirby
AFAIR, Windows 98 doesn't support mass storage class at all, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_
"However, Microsoft driver support for both USB printers and USB mass-storage device class is not available for Windows 98" 🤷

Hey, Russian "traditional values" were made up about a decade ago and US conservatives are still buying it 🤭

I think I have Syllable on an old Toshiba Satellite 4600 that has 5-6 operating systems on it: Windows 2000, Plan9, Ubuntu, QNX and… I don't even remember what else 🤪

You can still watch YouTube in 720p using mpv and yt-dlp on a machine like that, you can even try 1080p encoded with low complexity, but forget about doing it over the network: https and ssh give this CPU enough extra workload to make the video stutter, I'm not kidding you — so internal storage only.

@kirby
And of course you can run vim and write some code, but don't plug rust-analyzer or any other heavy language server into it — it might make vim completely unusable on a machine like that.

Give it a 2 Gb swap partition and it would be a nice machine for TUI stuff, maybe occasional Fedi scrolling with Bloat and surf. I have a ThinkPad T40 with half a gig of RAM and 1,5 GHz Pentium-M: I can run gomuks for Matrix chats, mutt for email, amfora and w3m, and tut for TUI Fedi experience — it's not THAT bad.

Back to the reservation for outcasts with massive penii — that's the way his people are being treated in France: unwelcome and looked down upon 🙁

Oh my, the joke turned out to be… not a joke at all! 😱

I hope this bastard doesn't leave any scraps on it while scraping! 😖
