uBO do remove trackers with the EasyPrivacy and uBlock filters – Privacy filters. More filters and options can also be enabled if you know what you're doing. For beginners it's best to stick to the default settings as more additions can lead to more breakage.
If you use uBO then Ghostery is redundant. It can also cause some of uBO's filters to not work correctly.
Also uBO can do what you did with stylebot. (If you use the full uBO extension, and not the limited Lite version for Chromium browsers):

The sci-fi show Farscape.
I'd also be interested in a list of companies that advertise on X.
Probably most films by Darren Aronofsky. Pi and The Fountain are some of the worst movies I've seen. Feels like someone's artsy shroom trip. I dislike most "artsy" movies without a coherent story.
Also a lot of horror classics bores me to death. For example The Omen, Poltergeist, The Exorcist.
From the uBO subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1etvawp/youtube_ads_detection_breakages_2024_08_16_ubo/m31kbkw/
There was just an update to Quick fixes. Please test if it works for you.
- Click Here to update the list.
- If you disabled the list previously, enable it back.
- Close all previously opened YT tabs and try in a new one.
Just a reminder: Please always treat disabling lists as a last resort/temporary solution type of thing. Without that list, you won't be receiving important filter updates and will likely encounter ads after a while. So don't keep it disabled forever - verify that it's still necessary (daily?).
On Ubuntu I use the tar.bz2 version to not have to deal with snaps or extra repositories. Also on Debian Stable to get the latest version.
Bypass Paywalls Clean Shut Down For DMCA Anti-Circumvention Violations
torrentfreak.com Bypass Paywalls Clean Shut Down For DMCA Anti-Circumvention Violations * TorrentFreak
Bypass Paywalls Clean, a popular browser extension that does exactly what its name suggests, has been shut down along with 3,879 forks.
FYI, the repo is not DMCAd yet, only the download URL which moved to gitflic.
Make sure jnn-pa.googleapis.com isn't blocked anywhere in your network. It may perhaps be blocked in a filter list you have activated in uBO, DNS, VPN, Firewall, anti-virus, Firefox enhanced tracking protection, etc.
&& flatpak update
You can also include && flatpak uninstall --unused in your alias to clean up more space.
Appending (intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”) to your search query will search most instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG afaik.
celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice
Those applications uninstalled just fine without any dependency issues last time I tried Mint.
If you're unsure, make a snapshot of your current VM state (if your VM software supports it). Then just uninstall the junk you don't need until Mint breaks. Restore snapshot, test some more, and so on. Those on real hardware should use Timeshift to create snapshots.
Tip: Run sudo apt autoremove package in the terminal so you can see which dependencies that are removed.
You shouldn't have to install any flatpak dependency manually. Flatpak should handle it for you automatically when you install your programs. (In most cases.)
I think I also had this issue using Cinnamon once, but then I just used VLC instead. Never bothered to look into why. Worked fine in GNOME for me though.
I found a thread with a similar issue: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/flatpak-mpv-broken-since-20240306-snapshot/172981
There it seems the issue was audio. Try running the flatpak version with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv --ao=pulse path-to-your-media-file
- On June 3rd, Chrome(ium) users will start being informed that their MV2 extensions will soon stop to function. uBlock Origin (and others) will lose the "Featured" badge.
- The remaining MV2 extensions will be gradually disabled in the "coming months", with the last deadline being the beginning of next year. (Expect that uBO will probably not last that long).
What options do you have if you still want to use uBlock Origin?
- Firefox (and up to date forks) have no plans to end support for the webrequest API that uBO requires.
- Brave browser will allow MV2 extensions for now. I still have no info on if they are going to use their own store or require manual installation/updating of MV2 extensions.
- If you use Chrome. By enabling enterprise policy ExtensionManifestV2Availability, you should be able to extend support till June 2025.
- uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) is a MV3 extension that is much more limited than uBO and is not intended to be a replacement for uBO. These limitations are described in detail in the FAQ for uBOL: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)
For the flatpak version the mpv.conf file can be created in ~/.var/app/io.mpv.Mpv/config/mpv/. You probably don't need to link it to the yt-dlp python file as the flatpak mpv version should come with the latest yt-dlp.
Mint is known to use old software in its repositories as it's based on Ubuntu LTS. The flatpak mpv should work though. flatpak install flathub io.mpv.Mpv and then run it with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
If you don't want to type flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv all the time, you can create an alias in your ~/.bashrc file. For example: alias play='flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv'. (After editing your bashrc file, run: source ~/.bashrc to activate the change). Then you can run it with play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ.
Your mpv or vlc versions may be too old. Try updating them to the latest versions.
Sounds like a bug in the filters used by Adblock and Adblock Plus. Afaik uBO or Adguard aren't affected.
OpenSUSE use patterns. Groups of packages that can be selected during installation. If one of the included pattern packages is removed it will be "fixed" when updating. You can uninstall some patterns, but be careful as some may be more important than others, leaving you without a graphical interface or something like that. If you decide to do a reinstall, you can deselect a lot of patterns (search for "pattern" in the software selection section of the installer).
Is there an equivalent or something similar to "Use host i/o cache" that VirtualBox have? Last time I tried virt-manager the install time of the vm was incredibly slow because of the terrible write speed to my hdd. Vbox fixes that issue with the host i/o cache setting.
www.neowin.net Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad
The latest Windows 11 preview build in the Beta Channel delivers a rather odd change to the Start menu. For some reason, the "Sign out" button is hidden behind a Microsoft 365 ad and other banners.
Just another lemmy style inspired by some old subreddit styles
- Link: https://github.com/lassekongo83/UserScripts/blob/main/lemmy/frellwits-lemmy-style.user.js
- Install link: https://github.com/lassekongo83/UserScripts/raw/main/lemmy/frellwits-lemmy-style.user.js
This is a style I primarily made for myself, but why not share it. It's inspired by some of the old subreddit styles and the old youtube design.
- Should work with litely and darkly plus compact variants.
- Uses rounded thumbnails to external links.
- Uses square thumbnails to internal images.
- Colored proprietary social media thumbs with their brand colors. (So you don't accidentally click on a youtube link for example).
There still are some things I have to fix in the dark theme, like buttons and card headers for example.
Is there a way to detect if a user is using one of the litely or darkly themes?
I'm currently using const prefersDarkTheme = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches; but it doesn't take into consideration users that use a light system with a dark website.
EDIT: Solved with the following:
javascript
const element = document.getElementById("app");
const themeVariant = element.getAttribute("data-bs-theme");
if (themeVariant === "light") {
var primaryBackground = "#f0f0f0";
} else {
var primaryBackground = "#121317";
}
Good PS1 games that weren't made in Japan?
I do like myself a good Japanese game every once in a while, but right now I'm looking for other PS1 games made outside of Japan that are still very fun to play.
