  🇪🇺 European Citizen's Initiative against ID age verification online Just yesterday, Stop Killing the Internet, from the people at @StopKillingGames@mastodon.social, launched an ECI against ID age verification! This is great but it needs 1 million signatures ! So, if you are a citizen of #eu , please sign it! If you don't, or even if you do, still share it around so more people know about it and can sign it! https://eci.ec.europa.eu/066/public/#/screen/home Reaching the signature thres...

  Opting out of ad tracking : The least user friendly menu I've seen! #Orange , the french #ISP offers you a free #TV box with your internet plan! The catch? Of course, it's filled with #ads . I mean, it's free, you're the product etc, so I get it but I still go to the settings to disable targetted ads, which is on by default OF COURSE, but there's a nifty "Deny all" (Tout refuser) button! But after clicking it, it does NOT disable everything, as most of their adv...

  I made an extension that bypasses online age verification EDIT : Now available on the extension store! https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/age-verification-bypass?utm_source=fediverse To show my stance towards online age verification, I made a small (literally, less than 10 kilobytes) add-on that will completely skip ageverif.net's verification prompt. (Only that site (for now?)) With more and more data breaches going on it's important to protect yourself by not sharing unnecessary data,...

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@StopKillingGames/116683205528835989 Ah yes, #ubisoft along with others from Video Games Europe (a lobbyist gtoup) is hosting a closed meeting with the @EUCommission and this happens less than a week before the date where a decision would need to be made on the @StopKillingGames initiative. What a coincidence! SKG objects and I think it's for the best. #stopkillinggames #gaming #preservation #europe

  Since I'm in the EU, I don't have the new AI stuff on Google everyone is talking about and saying is broken lately, but I have heard of a trick that will disable AI on the result page, and it's putting &udm=14 at the end of a google search URL. No idea if that works but you can try! (And tell me if it does!) Edit : Apparently, if you don't want to set the parameter every time, you can use https://udm14.org by @tedium or also change your location to somewh...

  I'm happy to say that @StopKillingGames is against the age verification laws that are passing in various locations recently! Games like Urban Dead are shutting down because they cannot comply with such laws, like the Online Safety Act, and this makes preservation projects harder to do legally, while requiring collection of personal sensitive data just to access something that shouldn't know your real identity. That's awesome news! More details on https://www.reddit.com...

  Okay, on GitHub you need to use 2 factor authentication to revoke access of an app to your account, but not to add one? Why? This just seems kinda insecure 🤔

  📧 Today's fun fact that will be used by no one! If, in your #gmail or #outlook inbox, you see someone that has a profile picture (usually Google or a brand) and they are not in your contacts, that means they set up BIMI! It's basically a system that puts brand logos in inboxes. So, being the nerd that I am, I thought to myself "Why not do it myself to look COOL", but it turns out that major email clients only use images in certificate files that cost more than...

  A cool new project of mine! A while ago I got a piano keyboard with backlit keys to try and learn to play some songs without worrying about learning musical notation, but the thing is, it only came in with a few preinstalled songs and no way to add new ones. There is an app for it, but it only lights the keys right when you're supposed to hit them, which kinda defeats the purpose of lighting them up, right? Usually, you would want the keys to be lit in advance so you can prepare yoursel...

  #css #tip of the day! Set your site's font-family to system-ui and this will use the device's default font! Great for when : - You don't care about font but don't want Times New Roman because it looks bad - You want to integrate the site better with the user, as they may have a special font that they like on their system and you just reuse this! #font #dev #webdev

  Ever wondered why #mastodon has different trending feeds on every instance? Do you want an easy way to see the posts for a same hashtag across many instances? Well I do! So I made my own #frontend that allows you to pick multiple instances or accounts and see a single timeline from all of them! It's a #wip for now so it's a bit rough around the edges. Take it as a beta! - The search bar currently only support direct post URLs - Custom emojis and some icons may be missing - Poll...

  @CodenameDarlen If you want, I made a document with how Mastodon and Lemmy interact with each other, at https://gist.github.com/helloyanis/c201908666b2c6341e05f7e77b2fbca2 It may be peak technology but if it involves being mistaken as an AI maybe it's not for everyone lol

  I wonder if, on Mastodon or other social media, it wouldn't be better, for quoted post, to have the person quoting the post to appear below the quoted post instead of above. Currently, you start by reading someone's opinion on something you haven't read yet, and maybe it would help a bit against confirmation bias if you read the actual post they quote first so you can make your own opinion about it!

  RE: https://furries.club/@helloyanis/116269132916520242 For example, here I am quoting my previous post, but you probably don't know what I'm talking about until you finish reading this then read the quoted post below! #fediverse #mastodon #uxdesign

  RE: https://piefed.zip/c/technology/p/1086069/google-criticizes-europe-s-plan-to-adopt-free-software Well, that shows what #Google really cares about. That's a bit concerning. Hopefully #Europe keeps pushing #opensource #software !

  ChatGPT will now predict your age based on how you interact with it It seems now #openai is doing age estimation too based on this email I received, After Google who made the "Age signals API" into Android phones, now OpenAI will "predict your age based on how you interact with our services". No, I don't want #chatgpt to analyze my age, thank you very much, (I always used the privage chat mode anyways, whatever impact it actually has on the data the...

  If you have a website, you can add a dark mode to it with this single #CSS rule : html{ color-scheme: light dark } It will automatically adapt all background elements which don't have a background color already specified in the CSS, as well as the text color, to match the theme of the device! That's super useful if you spin up a quick project and don't want to spend a long time styling it! I use it on all of my new projects since I found this! #web #dev #webdev

  After fiddling around, I found how I can get my own website to show below my posts, instead of the "Mastodon for Android" text, with the link to my site as well! (But I could have set it to anything else). Check it out by clicking on this post, or "View original page" if you are from another instance! #mastodon #android

  @Willdrick@lemmy.world @BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world there's a cool video on the subject at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5FbRfwMEuo Basically you have to use a tool to delete your messages and then send a GDPR request to discord before deleting your account, otherwise your messages will stay and will appear as sent from "Deleted user" with no way to delete them. #discord #privacy

  [How to put emojis in your Gitlab username] Emojis are cool, but most sites like GitLab don't allow you to put emojis in your display name! But I found a way to get around that! - Delete your Gitlab account (or not if you want to create a new one) - Create a GitHub account with an username that doesn't exist on Gitlab yet. If you deleted your account, you need to wait for 7 days so you can do that, otherwise the next steps will fail. - Set the display name on the GitHub account to anyt...

  Updates for my media downloader extension! Hi all! I'm the developer of my FOSS extension for Firefox : Media Downloader Unleashed!! It's been a while since I shared my progress about the developpment here but better late than never! :blobcat: - You can still download m3u8 and mpd streams as offline video files! - There is now an option to hide stream segments in the media list. In case you want to download the segments manually - Multiple updates to make the extension and its download...
