Among the neater features of the full-featured uBO is its ability to load userscripts from external sources. While there's much talk about uBlock Origin with Mv2 other losses include the last remaining Javascript managers for Chromium

I'm glad there are an abundance of visual overviews in the readme. Too many readmes about GUI programs lack them (or they'll point to a site which still lacks a clear indication of how it behaves). That said, they're all GIFs

I think some have only heard bad things about SVG exploits but perhaps aren't familiar that IMG embedded SVGs (like those used in Github readmes) don't carry those risks as they're restricted from running Javascript, external

I also find fully rendered/colored emojis distracting even in repo readmes because I feel they give off a casual chat messaging vibe, since before colored emojis became part of Unicode proper they were exclusively used for chat messe

My impression has been that the capitalization is to identify the word as an image format (a stand-in for whatever actual format is used), rather than being an initialism. Canon, Nikon and Sony among other hardware and software companies us

Every instance I've seen it referred to has used the RAW capitalization, including Google's PR, as it's an image format.

The article's wording suggests this supports computational RAW which would be useful. That is, auto stacking multiple captures into a single RAW (a la Google Camera for Pixel phones), rather than the traditional single capture. Allowin

Their site loads fine without JS or cookies/local storage enabled though, which is more than can be said of many sites (and tbh what I was expecting the article to be about given the dramatic headline).

This is a reasonable reaction to this. I pause when accusations jump immediately to spying as other explanations can exist without adding to FUD and noise online. It's not always difficult to find the purpose of something either with a

The whataboutism of that section was odd. The only non-handwavy argument presented is that due to the scale of LLM training that models' output should be treated like US-specific typeface forms' copyright, ie: non-applicable. It&#

Reading between the lines I think a key part of what makes chatbots attractive, re lack of judgment, is they're like talking to a new stranger every session. In both IRL and online discussions sometimes a stranger is the perfect person

They also have a contract with Reddit to train on user data (a common go-to source for finding non-spam search results). Unsure how many other official agreements they have vs just scraping.
