J’exagère, je le prend pas en photo à chaque sortie tout de même.

Pourquoi prend-on toujours notre vélo en photo? (c’est grave, docteur?)

À chaque sortie, c’est plus fort que nous. Il est là, posé contre un mur, un arbre, face à un paysage, éclairé par un rayon doré. On dégaine le

Update six weeks after my surgery

After 2 weeks back to swimming, I was able to reach 1000 meters today. I didn’t use my cane for the experiment 🥳

Enjoying my sunbath now, after the efforts 😎

Next week I have a plan to do 30 km on my road bike.

Exploration 2d ago

We made it to the campsite at like 8pm 🥲
The morning was stormy. The afternoon was a bit better but there were still clouds with heavy rains.
Eventually in the late afternoon the weather was perfect. We were on quiet farms roads so we really enjoyed it. We were so tired after the long day.

yesterday in #Montreal. We had around 400 participants! The ambience, energy, light, and lack of rain were all very pleasant :-)

I'm happy my broken femur is recovering well so I can participate in this monthly event.

I use a 2016 MacBook pro, running OS X 12.7.6 - the final version Apple supports on this HW. Frustratingly, Ghostery requires a more recent version of OS X. This is true for every legit ad blocking alternative I have been able to find.

The computer works fine (OK - the battery is tired, but that can be replaced), but Apple and every other developer is forcing me to either buy new, or return my roots (linux).

Very frustrating.

@fixatedpersonsunit Web is unusable without a good ad blocker.

Personally I think this is a minimal setup:
* Pihole with unbound for recursive DNS to block ads and minimise who knows what sites I'm visiting
* Firefox:uBlock Origin to block generic things that aren't DNS blockable
* Firefox:YouTube ad block to make youtube not painful to use.

@fixatedpersonsunit I've had people try to argue you SHOULD use chrome because it's better the devil you know than some third party company you don't (their explanations for companies like kagi, vivaldi, etc).

@bastardsheep @fixatedpersonsunit I swear, the excuses people come up with to STAY on enshittified products that they clearly absolutely hate and wrestle with daily

It really does sound exactly to me like the shit my brain's inner monologue told me to convince me to keep smoking and not quit way back when. Every single time I was making an attempt to quit smoking.

The things that made absolutely no sense what so ever once I gave in and lit up, but were the most logical and reasonable sounding things ever under withdrawal cravings.

@bastardsheep @fixatedpersonsunit Ugh! And Vivaldi is basically the same HTML engine as Chrome, just without the Google!

So frustrating!

I get the distinct impression there's a lot of people out there who don't understand computers, but have learnt how to navigate interfaces.

Show thread

nightoo Aug 22

@aj I generally agree with this impression but I don't get it in the case of browsers.
The difference between e.g. Chrome and Firefox are miniscule, as long as you're not a semi-technixal person who cares about the specifics.
I mean, I have to use Chrome at work now after using only Firefox for many years, and even I barely notice a difference

It's a me, Mauro Aug 22

@aj @bastardsheep @fixatedpersonsunit and with a closed source front end on top of it, I see no reasons to ever use vivaldi at all. They’re just good at marketing their product to the “right” audience.

It's definitely not 'one size fits all', for sure. I've stuck with Brave although some are vehemently against it for various reasons. I just kill their telemetry nonsense, install Ublock Origin, sync, and I'm off and running.

@fixatedpersonsunit

Presently UBlock Origin is still working in Ungoogled Chromium

A good alternative is LibreWolf.

If you use firefox as a minimum delete

you may need to correct paths, they depend on your system.

remove
/usr/lib/firefox-esr/browser/features/screenshots@mozilla.org.xpi' \
'/usr/lib/firefox-esr/crashreporter' \

In your profile
Set rw-r--r-- ... broadcast-listeners.json

delete any remote settings binary

Screenshots is an unnecessary risk.
i also delete pingsender

Scary message

The message is due google changes.

U block lite is designed to work after the change to manifest V3, it is less effective.

Google wants to sell more ads.

More info

Download UBlock original
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

Or with tracking and browser fingerprinting
from google store.

Info has been on the net for months, UBlock light is a downgrade forced by google and easy to install.

uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad content blocker.

uBlock Origin is not just an “ad blocker“, it's a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Developed by Raymond Hill.

In #Mozilla #Firefox, the user can ...

* modify the toolbar (add / remove / move items)

* modify the look with userChrome.css

* use container tabs to separate sites without bothering with different profiles

* move tabs to the side

Last I checked, Chrome did not have the first and maybe none of the others either.

@xconde Not so. The updates are mostly not about vulnerabilities, just changes for the sake of it, or to suit google. You can stick with a known set of issues or roll the dice and get a new unknown set!

@pa27 have a look at the vulnerability count by Chrome version: https://www.cvedetails.com/version-list/1224/15031/1/Google-Chrome.html?order=0

Older versions have more discovered vulnerabilities. Older vulnerabilites are more likely to be exploited in the wild and en masse.

Roll those dice if you want but first you have to ask yourself one question: do I feel lucky?
