Using clay to cool water in the summer is actually the original purpose of olla pots in the Southwest. They cool the water through evaporative cooling Andy Ward demonstrated this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBos0j0FszU

Fair enough. I guess I should've said the niche in my own life. > That plus “already has a bike” is a massive market. I imagine people who are elderly or differently abled would benefit more from an e-bike which is competitively pri

To be fair, we didn't have the World Food Programme in 1877 which lets us anticipate droughts distribution and crop failures months ahead of time. That being said, the existing energy crisis and fertilizer crisis can significantly comp

Personally I also don't see the niche they serve. If I'm going far away I take a train or a car. I pretty much exclusively use my bike to ride to a nearby grocery store or do other close-by errands. If I'm doing short errands

Plenty of plants that cause hallucinations too. But fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. Maybe there's more overlapping biochemistry and pathways there

I don't think that's their point. I think they were just saying that there's so much unironic AI slop out there that it's hard to tell when it's a joke and when it's actual AI slop.

The whole debate is centered around the webRequest API which is only available with Manifest v2. MV3 instead relies on the declarativeNetRequest API. The declarativeNetRequest API does not expose underlying CNAME aliases Without the webRequ

Say more? I've heard coconut coir can sometimes contain salt and has less nutrients but that can be fixed by buying properly processed coir and mixing in something like finished compost. What's irreplaceable about peat?

Anybody whose done any amount of gardening or has houseplants is probably familiar with peat. Though its harvest is destructive to the unique peat bog environments it forms

I see GP's point tho. The original Greacemonkey was open-sourced. Tampermonkey was the successor and is proprietary. Violentmonkey came to fix that. I wouldn't be surprised if Mozilla rejected TM because of not being OS and reject

It's unquestionably illegal to distribute. As in, if Mozilla (or anyone else hit by the DMCA) were to add it back to the store, they would be acting illegally.

It's illegal to distribute. Unambiguously. That's how DMCA works. If Mozilla were to add it back to the store, they would be acting illegally.

The trust was lost because of the public's misunderstanding of the change. It was updated as a response to the overly broad legal definitions of "data sales" under laws like the CCPA. As your own link says, Mozilla explicitly

It's not because of LLMs. It's because Google only stripped MV2 support but didn't strip the webRequest API that is at the center of this whole thing. It's pretty simple to maintain a fork that just supports the MV2 stan

Brave's adblocker looks pretty good but it's not nearly as customizable or granular as uBlock Origin is. I don't use Brave but I think it'd be nice to be able to choose from a variety of adblockers instead of being force

Users are still being tracked and your websites are still slower to load. More of your bandwidth and CPU is being used. If you want a sophisticated version of what you think this is, see Ad Nauseum. It's uBlock Origin except they creat

by culi 2mo ago
Exactly. The Lite version is basically "hiding" ads rather than blocking. The MV2 version stops the requests themselves from being made which save your bandwidth and battery. The light version lacks those benefits

I agree. The death of Edge's Trident and Opera's Presto has been really scary for the web. I know it's really far off but I truly hope Ladybird, Servo, and Flow succeed in building mature and competitive web engines

I think it's necessary for the future of the web. Ever since Opera gave up on Presto and Edge gave up on Trident, we've seen a massive and sudden consolidation towards Chromium. It's sad how quickly we forgot the lessons we l

It's on a time limit. Chromium deprecated MV2 but still keeps the webRequest API in the codebase. Google could at any time decide to strip it entirely. Or it could just stop working due to lack of maintenance as Chromium grows. Brave i

That's basically exactly what Brave (the only Chromium browser still supporting uBO) is doing to support uBlock Origin. But it's flimsy and likely has an expiration date.

Yes, huge difference - MV2 version has sophisticated scripts to not only block ads but prevent tracking. With the lite version you might not be seeing most ads but you are certainly being tracked more - MV3 version might "hide" ad

It's different under the hood. The crux of the difference is the webRequest API which is only available in Manifest v2. This allows uBlock to strip all tracking data from the requests themselves. So while Chrome w uBlock Lite is hiding

Great but as soon as Google decides to completely strip the `webRequest` API from the codebase, it's game over. Now that it's deprecated it's only a matter of time. This also means Brave, the last Chromium-based browser to su
