Guy who scammed his friend out of $500: oh, no it totally wasn’t me man. There was a video? Weird it must have been a Randeep Fake

Lol… well this is ironic

Starting in June 2023 and Chrome 115, Google “may run experiments to turn off support for Manifest V2 extensions in all channels, including stable channel.” Also starting in June, the Chrome Web Store will stop accepting Manifest V2 extensions, and they’ll be hidden from view. In January 2024, Manifest V2 extensions will be removed from the store entirely.

Google says Manifest V3 is “one of the most significant shifts in the extensions platform since it launched a decade ago.” The company claims that the more limited platform is meant to bring “enhancements in security, privacy, and performance.” Privacy groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) dispute this description and say that if Google really cared about the security of the extension store, it could just police the store more actively using actual humans instead of limiting the capabilities of all extensions.

The big killer for ad block extensions comes from changes to the way network request modifications work. Google says that “rather than intercepting a request and modifying it procedurally, the extension asks Chrome to evaluate and modify requests on its behalf.” Chrome’s built-in solution forces ad blockers and privacy extensions to use the primitive solution of a raw list of blocked URLs rather than the dynamic filtering rules implemented by something like uBlock Origin. That list of URLs is limited to 30,000 entries, whereas a normal ad block extension can come with upward of 300,000 rules.

Giving Nazis a platform is fucking cringe.

If you’re not familiar with it, windows now has native support to run Linux via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). It can integrate pretty well into your environment as well, like pushing vscode applications to run in the Subsystem. It apparently supports gui as well although I haven’t tried setting that up myself.

An Ultra-HD dual layer blueray disc can hold nearly 100gb of data. It’s not especially complex to have a game with 2 physical discs that encompass different parts of the game. They’ve been doing it since PS1 (FF7 was 4 iirc).

I’ve noticed a few things going on with this.

If you’re viewing the image or linked url and simply click on the thumbnail for a direct link it doesn’t appear to recognize that post as having been read. You actually need to click on the title/comments to access the post for that to be recognized.

But beyond that, if you are viewing a post from your front page, it doesn’t actually reflect the post as having been read until you reload/refresh/restart the app. Even if you leave the front page to navigate into a community or profile it doesn’t appear to refresh this data to reflect what’s been read.

Strangely, clicking a link from within a given community rather than from your front page will reflect that post as read while going back from the post and viewing the community. But then returning to your front page from there still won’t have updated the post as read.

It’s a bit wonky and will likely be updated in the future but hopefully this helps you for now.
