…and for those on Linux there is ‘DeGouru’, a tool for de-DRMing internet archive books that are lending-restricted.
A bit annoying in that it is somewhat sensitive to the Python version one has installed but there are ways to manage that which I am not qualified to advise on.
Neat, will try it out.
Has anyone written an android desktop search widget for it? A quick search only foumd one veeery old experimental project.
This reads like AI slop. Or, even worse, new age gibberish. Also substack which is a walled-garden blog platform. Downvoted.

No unicode support though. For that try

… but for work I still use Eclipse (sigh)
On desktop: uBlock origin (Vivaldi or Firefox). On mobile: Newpipe and AdAway (VPN mode, or rooted phone).
If churches, synagogues, schools etc. are now unsafe from ICE raids it’s time people thought about making safehouses if they want to help resistance – but how many modern homes have basements or attics that can have easily-hidden access?
I’ve been thinking, could supporters outside of the US offer mailing services for mifepristone etc. via stealth via sending baked goods, keychains with hollow storage or similar that can obscure pills within? Such measures will likely be necessary to keep supplies available in restricted states. Someone should organize a covert sign-up system for women to request mailings from outside the country.
If it doesn’t 100% look like a Heil, and isn’t repeated twice, after buying one’s way into influence over a blatantly xenophobic candidate with a record of racism, sure.
archive.is or their mirrors should also be used, as archive.org has proven vulnerable to takedown requests from corporations, wouldn’t surprise me if they could be coerced into removing their data by USA govt request as well.
Interesting fact, thanks.
As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day
Use of a phrase doesn’t automatically imply agreement with its originator.
Yeah… and unless you really, really enjoy configuring your own stuff and tinkering, a hosting service is much easier.
I happen to be insane, and enjoy that stuff. And it’s not a business server (well, not anything big anyway).
If you’re in Canada, Rogers (nee Shaw) and Telus small business plans both offer ‘static’ IPs (Shaw’s residential plans aren’t officially static, but they rarely change on a residential modem unless you are always switching out hardware). Telus business fibre 1GB plan offers up to 5 static IP addresses.
Then you must purchase one or more domain names and assign them to your IP address… depending on your business’s needs even small consumer hardware can run a web server just fine.
Have a backup strategy though! And be sure you actually test the restore procedure on a periodic basis!
Linux backups can range from home-grown ‘rsync’ scripts and hot-plug external drives as backup, to more fancy ‘Time Machine’ like backup things (I honestly forget what’s out there for Linux right now, I have my own rsync scripts to back up to external drives).
My home server is my own, but if money is on the line you want proper backup and failover even. Most Linux distributions are easy-peasy to set up with Apache or nginx web servers but if you’ve never set those up you’ll need to study lots of tutorials and manual pages.
If you don’t want to tend to security and backups yourself though, it might be best to find a hosting service.

Can we start with Sam Altman please? Hah.
I was amazed at first with ChatGPT, outpainting, and the early stuff; it was fun making ‘paintings’ and playing with other imagery, but the main uses are taking such a dark turn I really think we’re going to regret this technology’s existence.
With modern face recognition, … If you want anonymity then don’t include your face (or signature) in the video.
Duh, good point :)
Web of trust – it’s always been so hard to make easy enough to use for the non-technical public, sadly… but yeah that might be the only/best way to really give attestation.
This is scary indeed. We may someday soon need something like an active tattoo on our face, or a badge on clothing, with a pattern that changes each second based on a private/public key pair, so videos can’t be easily faked of our own likeness with a valid visual signature.
That could actually work – a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature. It could be validated to certify the video of a person was genuine.
Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(
Xerox?! In my day we only had those faded-ass mimeographs, stinky sheets of blurry purple letters :P

Hercolobus Or Red Planet, by V. M. Rabolou… it’s ‘interesting’.
Don’t worry, once he’s dead and can’t stop it Hollywood will thoroughly sh*t over this IP as well with prequels, sequels and spinoffs. They’re very patient if there’s potential for a cash grab.
Then again, Spielberg isn’t so pure – he CGI’d the guns with walkie-talkies in the re-release didn’t he? Can’t depict our loving government agents as anything but benevolent, right?
Wasn’t it Terry Pr⍺tchett who specifically put in his will that all of his unfinished works (on hard drives) were to be crushed with a steamroller?
Are there any minor failures in your Tesla that you can claim warranty against? I wouldn’t begrudge anyone stuck with one now who bought in the past, but a sort of civil disobedience, aimed at costing the company as much as possible, would be an ethical imperative here. Claim any warranty repair you can. Be a ‘picky’ customer. Make support and sales spend extra effort and money in any way possible for your property. After all, you paid for it, make them spend as much money as possible.
Vivaldi on Linux and Windows is still good in my experience, and so far uBlock Origin for manifest v2 still works. I hope they keep v2 support forever, forking completely if they must.
