The way I understand it is that you dont need the extensions if you use brave (i dont have any of those installed and just use as strict shield settings as I can) but they will support them for as long as possible for those who also want to use the extensions. Brave seems to use a modified version of the chromium engine in their browser which includes the shields.

The only issues ive had so far are with youtube’s recent “3 strikes” message, which gets fixed by brave within a couple of days to make yt unable to detect that brave is using (or is itself) an ad blocker.

Brave Shields block ads and trackers by default, and they’re built natively in the Brave browser—no extensions required. Since Shields are patched directly onto the open-source Chromium codebase, they don’t rely on MV2 or MV3.

Ive read the comments, and I love you as a human so much for helping the kitties (and the way you talk about them is hilarious)!

Ok, this is super interesting and a bit of a weird coincidence, because on the page you linked it mentions that they are also a community of the blind and it is really important to me to have my page be accessible to visually impaired people, and I already made some steps into making it screen-reader compatible. I still need feedback from them though because not being blind myself I cant be sure if what I used to test the screen-reading is actually what the blind community uses, nor if it would actually be useful for them!

Do they offer hosting and ssh access? If so, how can I go about setting all that up?

Edit: Looking at their donations page it seems that they may be partly linked to the USA which I want to avoid:

HOW DO I DONATE?

You can send cash (USD, YEN or EUR), cheque or a money order to:

SDF Public Access UNIX System
PO Box 17355
Seattle WA 98127

Even though their server is in Germany if they have any relation to the USA its a shame.

Thanks. Hetzer seems like its got a good deal (1.76 euro / month max for the lowest tier which should be way more than enough for what I want to do) but when I looked at the scaleway price page I was greeted with several sections like bare metal and compute. Which one should I be looking for to just host a simple webpage? Also, having done a little more research into hosting, I guess I will be going with nginx and gunicorn (correct me please if this is overkill) so I guess having ssh access to the server is necessary. I’ve got linux experience so thats not a learning curve for me at all.

Edit: Also for hetzer, looking at their most basic tier in more detail, they have this following feature listed:

Symantec Basic SSL Certificate, duration 1 year
You can equip yourself with a free basic SSL certificate simply by going to the "SSL Manager" menu tab in your account on the konsoleH user interface.

The offer only stands if Symantec can supply a free certificate for the domain.

Even though I’m not actually reading any sensitive user data or storing anything, I think having https will inspire confidence and is just generally better to have than not, so how can I make sure that my domain is elligible for the free certificate?

1. Why use bottles rather than lutris? Whats their difference? Im asking because the one time I tried using bottles I dont think I managed to get it to work with whatever it was I was trying to install.
2. Ive never heard of portproton, but it looks like it does essentially the same thing as if you install through the steam client as a non-steam game using proton (?). If thats the case, why use it over any of the other options?

Thanks

Im going to give it a try right now

Check out stremio

Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I wouldn’t be aware of it otherwise. For what its worth, I left my ideas as feedback there.

Also, I would just like to point out that before lemmy (and subscribing to various EU communities) I was not at all active in voicing my opinion about such things as I didn’t have any idea that it was even possible/how to do it. Lemmy as a whole has helped me become more active in this regard :D

Id support this absolutely

Honestly that sounds horrible. Women scientiss?!? Whatever will they come up with next

Im not calling for war by any means, just saying theyre not allies. China/Russia arent allies, but that doesnt mean i want war with them. But I also dont want us to align ourselves with fascists, they have nothing good to offer, and it feels disgusting being associated with them in aby way, and hoping to regain our friendship with them.

The cancelling of the email account is not the reason. Its a very small part of the reason. The reason is that the US has for decades been fascist (as I have been saying in other threads, it didn’t turn fascist overnight with the election of one man), imperialist, and generally a bully. As the UK was before it (and still is, apparent from their aid to the genociders), and as all empires have been and will be. It’s always been fascist just been very good at biding it’s time before “going public” with it, while working from the shadows to further its own agenda.

Its time we in Europe stop pretending that the US is capable of being anything other than an enemy. Its not just trump. If they do it once, theyll do it again. Whether its 1, 2, or several administrations down the line. We need to start distancing ourselves from them ASAP

This seems like an easy implementation, and I can skip the variable and just directly check the timestamp from the script i guess. My question is, if I install something, say yay -S a_single_package does that also update the timestamp of the core.db file?

Ok, I might be dumb, but I dont get the text on the top of the meme. Anyone care to explain?

No worries! Heres a link to their forums if you want to give it a peek for research

/e/os is a degoogled os, so not out of the box. Im not sure if you can opt to install them yourself later (why would you though) and i dont want to put any of that crap on this just to test it. The closest to a google thing it has is gApps, which is an open source implementation of google services.

Second this! Got mine from murena a couple days ago and its brilliant

I switched because of neovim, and got used to it. I was never the kind of guy to press caps to type capitals, always just kept shift pressed down with my pinky, so i basically never used the caps key anyway
