Can you share some details, I can not find anything about it on their github page.

There is one mistake in this Video. Ublock origin doesn’t accept donations the last time checked.

That will be one big bloated software extremely painful to maintain.

Very much agreed 👍 I realized when using the dnscrypt to set the DNS settings. There is resolv.conf which used to be the final authority regarding your DNS. Now I don’t know anymore

Authors address the ethical implications of their research

Ethical implications. While the decoding of brain activity promises to help a variety of brainlesioned patients (Metzger et al., 2023; Moses et al., 2021; Defossez et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2023; ´ Willett et al., 2023), the rapid advances of this technology raise several ethical considerations, and most notably, the necessity to preserve mental privacy. Several empirical findings are relevant to this issue. Firstly, the decoding performance obtained with non-invasive recordings is only high for perceptual tasks. By contrast, decoding accuracy considerably diminishes when individuals are tasked to imagine representations (Horikawa & Kamitani, 2017; Tang et al., 2023). Second, decoding performance seems to be severely compromised when participants are engaged in disruptive tasks, such as counting backward (Tang et al., 2023). In other words, the subjects’ consent is not only a legal but also and primarily a technical requirement for brain decoding. To delve into these issues effectively, we endorse the open and peer-reviewed research standards.>

Let the cat and mouse games begin!!! Thanks for the heads up though

Actually It is Lubuntu with LXDE.

I am contributing to this number by installing Ubuntu Linux on my relatives old laptops.

The way Adaway works is similar to DNS blocking, it modifies the system hosts file which is like a local DNS. I would divide ad blockers into name resolution based (Pihole, Adguard, Adaway) and client side filters (Ublock origin etc).

Internally these types of apps are using DNS based blocking similar to this app https://f-droid.org/packages/dnsfilter.android/

Well DNS based blocking has its problems mainly devices bypassing your network defined DNS with some encrypted DNS(DoT,DoH) or using hardcoded custom DNS servers.

What is local app based tracker blocking ? Like ublock origin?

Fuck this piece of shit software. I’m so done with this. Today, there was an issue with the audio freezing while playing videos embedded in a presentation. Cant even Do the one thing it is supposed to do.

Some people really hate lemmy. There was another post in that subreddit with a screenshot of some csam instance with the title what is wrong with Lemmy. This is enough for people who is looking for a reason to not leave Reddit. Another talking point of these people are the political leaning of Lemmy devs. E.g. See this thread https://mstdn.social/@PVTejas/111022248039156302

Looks nice, going to install. I usually use pdftk, but sometimes it can be really tricky, especially the rotate command.

Where do you live ? certainly not in Germany/Switzerland

Ahh, the best shitpost I have seen in a long time.

MS Edge Has a superior PDF editor with very good workflow for textboxes, pen input support. I use it just for editing/annotating PDFs.

Most of the time it would be DNS 😆, glad you figured it out, I have been in your situation before. Just a heads up! Cloudflare TOS does not allow video streaming unless you are a paid customer, they could ban you if you stream a lot through CF. I got away with less than 4GB per month.

Next level update your /etc/hosts to point time wasting websites to localhost
