Everyone is on lemmy.world, which is why I'm blocking lemmy.world. I love peace and quiet.

Maybe it's because I already think Jean-Claude Van Damme looks like Rocco Siffredi that I don't find it all that surprising.

Apologies, it was the last thing I posted before going to bed, I should've verified it instead of relying on memory. What they have in common is the same gesture, which wasn't even a real roman salute.

I've just been using OptMeOwt for the GPC flag feature, but it looks like Privacy Badger (PB) does that and a lot more, nice. I use Vivaldi that already blocks trackers and have a primitive adblocker, so I don't know how much PB will help, but I'll give it a shot.

That's good to know. Consent-o-matic is configurable though, it doesn't just ignore the popup, it automates the setting of cookies based on your preference, which could be "allow everything". So it comes down to how you want to handle those popups.

I wonder what value each star sign is. Tied to month of the year? So like 4 for aries?

It's slightly better than GIF, yet somehow just the "new GIF" when it comes to animation. At least nvidia only supports GPU decoding of webp in lossy and lossless configuration and not extended or animation etc. which is where it would've been most useful, so instead webp animations become incredibly CPU intensive.

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it does handle over 75% of the ones I meet. I've noticed recently that it struggles with certain German websites for some reason. Most sites copy and paste the same type of cookie consent form, so maybe it just doesn't know how to handle that specific type?
Anyway, one need to report the sites where it doesn't work in order for the fellas that run it (Some Danish university students made it originally, not sure if they're still in charge), to work on bypassing those new forms.

True, it's very rarely used in Danish any more. We do however say "det fosser ud/ind" regarding money/water/gas, so it is used in those specific cases. But I don't think I've ever heard it elsewhere.

2025 starter kit. Although manifest v3 will fuck things up in a June, at least for Chromium users (minus Brave).

uBlock Origin Advanced manifest v2 adblocker Extension Add-on

Shinigami Eyes is also not a bad shout, but I took a look at the github issue tracker and I can't make out from some of the posts there if it's still good or if it's compromised.

EDIT: Regarding paywalls, I used to use https://github.com/Angeloyo/PaywallHub but it has closed down due to (big surprise) legal threats. I guess https://www.removepaywall.com/ is the better alternative.

To make matters worse, well, for my generation here in Denmark, 1983 is the smallest generation alive. That means we have the least voting power. Between us and larger voter pools, it's pretty clear who politicians will cater to.
