A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

from https://beehaw.org/comment/80030:

uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google

What? ...alright let's check the link.

Esmail is actively forbidding members or supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community to use their services via a TOS document.

Oh.


When you're so drenched in queerphobia that you explicitly forbid the use of your services to LGBTQIA+ people and their 'supporters'. Asbolutely normal and totally not deranged behavior.

Regarding AMP: Do people hate AMP or just Google's implementation/control of it? Because in theory everything AMP does is remove a lot of what gunks up websites these days. Anyone know if there's a Whoogle-like software that lets you self-host AMP links?
