I have still quite literally found no other tool, even paid products, that can interior-crop the way IrfanView can (select row/column Y in XYZ if the entire image was XYZ, and crop out that inner part and auto-tuck X and Z directly against each other). And it’s had this feature for decades, I think.

Since it’s already a Pandora’s box as it is, at least open-source is the least-worst way to go. All closed-source models are evil(er).

It wasn’t her phone that did it:

“Some sort of recording software was used in the car — that in itself is a breach of my privacy,” she said.

The lesson is to avoid these services if possible or communicate sensitive info silently/by text when you’re not in a trusted vehicle.

Are you willing to share what any of these “custom additions” means?

Interesting. Is there a way to port NoScript settings into uBO?

Yeah, it’s getting addicting! I just found so much JS that is totally unneeded to watch Paramount+:

What the hell is all this crap? Man… so much tracking going on. All the DEFAULTs are blocked and the TV I’m watching still loads perfectly fine. And if you try to go to the stepcattle.com one out of pure curiosity, uBlock warns you against it, yet robots prevent any info on it from appearing in search engines… capitalist bastards…

Wow, incredible! Thanks, I had no idea.

Add the add-on/extension NoScript to her browser and at least have it block fbsbx.com, which seems to be totally unnecessary to allow, as the rest of the website seems to still function perfectly fine.

There are attendees who are both younger and older than me (mid-30s). To be fair, the group already gets <10 people per event on average, so I don’t think I could risk the slice right now. If we grew to over double that, then maybe I could revisit the topic.

why are people still using facebook?

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

What about dentists, doctors, programmers, etc.?

I feel like this should be more about those involved in the upper echelons of megacorps.

Might wanna edit the noun into your post title!

Touché, but having the brains to do it is another matter!

… until they keep having to dismiss people and go, “… huh.” This is a marathon we’re playing. You certainly don’t have to use it, but I think the philosophy makes sense, especially given how AdNauseam doesn’t click on acceptable ads that don’t track you.

To be technical, you mean “scammers,” who are far, far worse.

Yum. I would freeze the ginger and add it to rice!

I was reacting to its GitHub:

This project is NOT currently being maintained. Code is made available for developers to fork. This is the FireFox version of the project, for Chrome see https://github.com/vtoubiana/TrackMeNot-Chrome.

So I’m wondering which active fork is best to go off of for Firefox. I could’ve been clearer; my bad.

Thanks for the reminder about PeerTube… I’ve gotta look into that, too.

Careful: that then enters the world of ad fraud, which randos like us doing the clicking isn’t considered as.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing! What is the best, current Firefox fork of this one, if you know?
