This issue comes from the fact that even though the domain is now changed to x.com, it still tries to load content from twitter.com which Firefox thinks is social media tracking because it's coming from a different domain than the one you're on.

It's a hilarious and dumb oversight with this change.

To those that are confused about this:

Bitwarden does indeed handle TOTP directly in the password manager, but only on paid accounts and only logged in.

This is a completely offline app, separate from your existing Bitwarden account, that is entirely free.

It might serve as an alternative to e.g Aegis to some.

I mean, to be completely fair, that's how data storage works.

We cannot really just make data disappear, so we let it get overwritten instead

no when I say "overwritten" I mean that the area is set as deleted in the filesystem and the next time something writes to that area the data that was there before is disregarded.

We really need someone with budget to take Nintendo to court over this.

Sadly, I don't think that will happen.

They are technically not wrong when they say that the whole experience isn't made up of just an App

They are intentionally dodging the ACTUAL question.

Anyways here is a leak of their "LAM", which is just playwright for the most part. https://web.archive.org/web/20240424133441if_/https://pixeldrain.com/api/file/vYHXbUwP?download

With that, we have both components, yay?

The case is essentially "hey you kinda passed a bill that's against your own constitution? You're kinda supposed to follow that..."

it sucks but can you blame them?

For picking discord I very much can blame them, I figure it won't be long until that goes down the drain too.

It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use

As such, it's marked as "unsupported" to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won't help you with those issues.

Just so you know, AOSP is short for Android Open Source Project.

no I don't believe a damn word of what apple's gonna say on this, I just wanted to get the message out there that generally file deletion works by allowing data to be overwritten, so if the images are local this could very well just be that either it's showing data that hasn't been overwritten yet or it accidentally brought things out of the "recently deleted" depending on how long ago it was deleted.

(the sync can actually be self-hosted and is OSS, the DRM is third-party and proprietary)

a bit late to crosspost that here, no? 🤔

If you look at the roadmap they have in the blogpost, they are apparently planning tighter integration with the existing bitwarden suite

4 more...

well, not if you want a UI that's designed around threads like Lemmy or Kbin does 🤔

If you wanna go nuts on the data, probably Obsidian.md with the built-in Daily Note plugin and the Dataview plugin, which allows you to do all kinds of crazy operations on the data in your vault as if it was a database.

If you wanna go less nuts, obsidian still has tagging, linking notes, daily notes, and all kinds of other stuff built-in and is extensible by things like the Calendar plugin from the community.

And everything is stored as plain Markdown with the occasional hint of JSON (for some plugins) so you're not locked into using Obsidian until the end of time. Your data is yours.

(I realise this sounds like an ad but I've just been using Obsidian for years now and I enjoy it)

The title is a bit misleading, the badge says affiliated, not made

Indeed, these decom projects do not include any of Nintendo's assets.

The code compiles 1:1 back into a unable ROM but isn't made just using a source code leak. It is reverse-engineered just like the SM64 decomp

The Google-Way of doing things

Yet another W for Signal where you can edit indefinitely, and can look at the edit history. No context lost, no risk of modifying things after the fact

Manifest V3 changes capabilities and meta-data about extensions, including limiting lots of things that worsen the experience for AdBlock Users.

Google's "cookie replacement" is Ad Topics, which collects your browser history and puts it into categories, sending those categories to websites.

Specifically the annoyingly loud, self-righteous, insists-everyone-must-join-them vegans. Unfortunately, most people only really see this sort of vegan

On this note, I'd like to point to the Loud Minority problem; You have XYZ group, and within XYZ group there exists a minority that comes across as very "loud". You can barely miss them, and because they state they're a part of XYZ group, you start associating that group with the loud minority.

Happens with Vegans a lot, and usually people which have already associated a group with a minority within said group which annoys them do not want to learn that they are wrong, or will just refuse to accept they are wrong.

As per the MV3 Specification, it is supposed to remove some APIs.

Firefox included them anyways cuz they're not assholes.

have they paid 2.4 million? Last time someone with supposedly that much funding got fucked over by Nintendo they have been sent to jail, and once they came out had to basically pay rent to nintendo for the rest of time.

The reason we didn't hear anything of that, if I had to guess, is probably an NDA.

The idea is that it can then work both says, like https://ente.io/auth does

doesn't mean it's not running Android, they just cannot use it for marketing/branding 🥴

At this point its not just "vote with your wallets" because they have like a 8B+ global turnover

Me not giving them 60 bucks does nothing, even the entire Fediverse not giving them 60 bucks would do nothing.

Though, them thwarting game preservation efforts on the basis of shitty DRM? Thats what I'd like to see fought.

RCS itself is an open standard (kind of), but Google Messages is literally the only RCS Client

There are no others. Like seriously you can barely find another usable RCS Client

The Linux Kernel is GPL2, the Android OS is Apache.

+ the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)

This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.

Have you heard if VaultWarden?

Just FYI, SearX is dead. Long live SearXNG

NPUs existed before recall and have other uses apart from that.

The "NO AI" clause is conditional, though.

As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is "viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality"

unless the rampant ethical and data privacy issues around datasets are resolved via regulation.

Whilst they aren't VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their "AI Detection" is backed by another, third-party AI, and it's not transparent what said service is.

And to top it off, it's a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again

it's yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I'm not hopeful for Cara.

They probably mean the Super Mario 64 Decompilation Project.

The goal was to turn the finished ROM back into unable code, that would do 1:1 the same thing. They finished a couple of years back.

This new app is offline.

Ente.io is working on a desktop app. Whilst its experimental, you can get it from the releases page on their github

Just so you know, the actual source code for this project mentions both Jamulator and another project that did this for the N64.

Know what? That you just AI Generated this?

I've resorted to just syncing my fault folder using Syncthing externally, surprisingly convenient

okay, so, the idea was initially to build something akin to SMS/MMS in the way it's used but make it more ready for the modern age

just a couple of problems:

  • End-To-End-Encryption isn't officially a part of RCS itself thanks to Telcom companies in the US not being allowed to add that
  • Google Messages is literally the only way to use RCS right now.
  • It's "open"-ness is quite disputed due to Google's control over it

really, we should either be using Matrix, or at the very least build out XMPP into something more modern.
