Clicking on that picture in the link brought me back to this post. So it seems it just directs you back to the referrer.

Good riddance. It was never about privacy anyhow. Only to enhance google’s monopoly in ads.

It’s a mod. Valve approved I believe. https://store.steampowered.com/app/440000/Portal_2_Community_Edition/

Have had it on my wishlist since 08-2021. Still not available.

Laughs in FreeTube.

Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead?

Probably. The point is that google can’t have any direct control of the browser as there’s a conflict of interest between google’s ad and other business and how web is developing. Take manifest v3 for example. Blocking content blockers directly benefits google’s ad-business. Also removing support for third party cookies etc benefits google’s ad-business while hampering others.

at least existing features and data remain free.

For now.

Quite true. Linux and all modules loaded into it are GPL licensed. The userland and tooling on the other hand can be licensed however. They are free to close source on anything except kernel code.

This is the first step in moving to fully closed source. I guess degooled versions are getting too popular thus a threat to google’s business.

Have a look at https://european-alternatives.eu/, https://www.privacytools.io/ and https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/

You can set the webpage to self refresh on interval by itself no extensions needed.

“Page refresh”. You mean F5 (or ctrl + r) right?

All of these already sound shady.

This is or was part of their anti-spam/flooding protection.

That’s the official explanation. A phone number is a nice way to attach a real world identity to the data (which of course is sold to advertisers/data brokers etc).

It’s all Fediverse. You can follow things on lemmy on mastodon and vice versa and so on.

I’ll add shift + f6 for refactor rename and ctrl + 6 for redefining your function i.e. add/remove parameters and/or return value.

I use Jetbrains’ products for all my coding needs.

On a related note. Why would creators add sponsored segments/other sponsoring/patreon etc if YT pays them enough?

Even youtube doesn’t pay the creators that much. Lois Rossman in a recent video showed some of his video in YT that had over 200k views and generated ~100 USD of income.

Nebula pays creators, and you pay to Nebula.

Even university students studying computer science don’t have this basic knowledge anymore.
