echo , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.

Then what is the purpose/value of it?

Quill7513 ,

Its able to block some ads. However, from a security perspective this basically means google chrome is no longer a web browser that should be used in a professional setting, let alone for your private and personal work

echo ,

I’ll let corporate worry about corporate… I don’t want the ads at home.

Quill7513 ,

100% don’t use it at home. I’m saying if you wouldn’t even use it at work (and you seriously shouldn’t anymore, its a total liability) you for sure shouldn’t use it at home

amorpheus ,

It’s not as comprehensive, but it still blocks ads. Personally, I’ve not noticed a difference. If you are a power user with custom rules and third party lists then your experience will vary.

echo ,

I went ahead and switched to Firefox which I can also use on my phone and now block ads there, too.

ArbitraryValue , in Detroit judge bullied teen in courtroom, turning her into a spectacle

Is the judge also black or is the article illustrated with a picture of a different, black judge?

I believe his name was Uncle Ruckus.

almar_quigley ,

I don’t think that’s relevant. A black cop killing a black man is still a cop killing a black man. It’s the institutions and systems that are racist and thus folks within them that also act that way. Hence the whole bad apple thing.

eatCasserole , in Disney attempts to use Disney+ Terms of Service to repel a wrongful death lawsuit involving a death in one of their parks

I really want there to be a legal precedent for all these stupid terms of service things being invalid because we all know no one reads them and you can’t realistically function in contemporary society without clicking those “agree” buttons from time to time.

*Although this case is not that, because disney’s claim is insane for other reasons.

@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I thought there already at least kind of was, but then I also heard that a GOP judge shot down the precedent that the arbitration clauses don’t mean shit, but then I heard another ruling that said it doesn’t apply in the context of NDAs. At this point it’s probably kind of a legal grey area as fucked up as it is.

eatCasserole ,

Well I hope you’re right that there kind of is, I am 0% expert on this stuff.

recklessengagement , in The big question touching a nerve this election: "Can my husband find out who I am voting for?"

As someone who’s worked multiple elections, your ballot is never tied to your name/ID. Even if someone broke into the box and stole the ballots, there’s no way to know whos is who.

When ballots are audited/recounted, its based on things like the number of ballots vs the number of recorded voters, the signature of the precinct officer, and the qualities of the ballot itself. No identifying informationm.

Dkarma ,

This is not even remotely true for mail in ballots. They are returned in an envelope that has your name, address and signature on it.

andrewta ,

Honest question : on mail in ballots even though you name is on the envelope, doesn’t the envelope get separated from the ballot? So there is no real way to know who voted for whom? @recklessengagement

tigeruppercut ,

My state mail in procedure is to send your ballot in an envelope without identifying info, and that envelope goes inside a larger envelope so they can verify you. I assume they separate it for counting later

joenforcer ,

I have worked elections too. Can confirm. The ballot is separated from identifying info once validated.

recklessengagement ,

True, but once they are recieved, they’re seperated from the identifying information. It’s not stored in a database somewhere.

The only time I’d argue this isn’t the case would be for provisional ballots, where they often will send you a letter after it gets processed.

macarthur_park , in Exotic eye worm rapidly invades US by spreading from testes of fruit flies

That’s a headline that just gets worse with every word

Frozyre , in Out transgender woman athlete will make history as she competes in Paralympic Games

This is disrespectful.

Here's why. Does anyone even know what the paralympics even is? Looking from the comments below, I sincerely doubt they do.

The paralympics is basically "The Paralympic Games or Paralympics, also known as the Games of the Paralympiad, is a periodic series of international multisport events involving athletes with a range of disabilities."

So do you know what this is exactly saying? This is saying that Transgenderism is a disability. That is giving more ammo to all of the bigots out there who've been crying about how Transgenderism is just a choice and that it's all wrong .etc

I cannot say that I'm fully in support of this. I would've been more proud if a Transgender individual made it to the Olympics and was breaking ground for their group. But no, this is them being in the backburners of society for pity points.

Absolutely disgraceful.

i mean. read the article maybe?

Petrillo, 50, was diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a degenerative condition of the eyes, at the age of 14. She competes in the women’s T12 category for athletes with a visual impairment.

Frozyre ,

I did read the article. Now did you see what the headline read? Why don't you go bitch at them. Or don't and be a spitful downvoting piece of trash.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

The headline was to show a groundbreaking event. If she were the first black woman to compete in the Paralympics, that is what the headline would say. And no one, save maybe you, would think that meant being black was a disability.

bitchkat ,

If you didn’t read it as Transgender woman (with some kind of disability) competing in Paralynpixs" then that’s a you problem.

Media Bias Fact Check | bot support

TrickDacy ,

Good bot. Fuck the haters.

ayyy ,

Do you even know who Bloomberg is?

TrickDacy ,

Yep. I guess if some bias exists, the MBFC should completely discredit the source entirely.

ayyy ,

That’s not what I’m saying. The whole point is that they are just supposed to identify the kind of bias. Bloomberg is decidedly not left of center by any definition. He literally got physically laughed out of the Democratic Party last time he tried to weasel his way in with unprecedented spending.

TrickDacy ,

As many have pointed out, they have a publicly available method for determining bias. The method is not “look at who owns it and make a snap judgement”

ayyy ,

Yup and that same public methodology calls the Associated Press and Reuters lefty. They clearly just want to propagandize by shifting the Overton Window to the right with a thin veneer of “science” and a side of “y wont u debate me bro”.

TrickDacy ,

Or… shocking idea, the united states is far more conservative than most people on lemmy want it to be.

ayyy ,

Is that why they keep losing every popular vote and rely so heavily on gerrymandering and voter suppression?

Edit: also way to admit the reason that you like the bot is because it’s got a conservative agenda.

TrickDacy ,

… wtf. Literally nothing about this makes sense. Especially this weird shit:

way to admit the reason that you like the bot is because it’s got a conservative agenda.

I implied the US is too conservative, that means, what, I am a trumper? Don’t comment if you have no fucking idea what’s being said.

Hint, I am on Lemmy. You entirely made shit up in your head about what was implied by my statement

I like the bot because it’s a decent attempt at calling out misinformation automatically. You hate it because you personally disagree with the formula and therefore assume it’s a conspiracy.

TrickDacy ,

fubarx , in 2 former police officers and 2 military veterans accused of staging sham raid to extort nearly $37 million from California man

This reads like the plot of a Jackie Chan comedy.

But why wasn’t the partner who paid for all this indicted?

The victim was not identified by name, and neither was his business partner, a woman who was identified only as unindicted co-conspirator 1, a “wealthy Chinese national,” the U.S. attorney’s office said.
