Superb, thank you for sharing!!

Europe@feddit.org•Vote for the design of future Euro banknotesEnglish
3·2 months agoParliament on the lowest bill: Yes, disgraceful.
Court of auditors on the 200€ bill: Well, when do ordinary people use this bill anyway? Conversely, I like the idea of giving a subtle reminder about the Court of Auditors to those who primarily handle high-denomination bills. (Plus, this bill is first in line for being potentially discontinued, like the 500€ before it, so little sense to have more important institutions on it.)

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Has anyone saved the video of WSocial CEO Anna Zeiter's presentation at the Monaco AI conference (May 2026)?English
9·3 months ago… which should make you wonder even more why they chose to have this video deleted.
The answer is obvious, by the way. Acting like a charity is how they plan to build their business. Play their game if you want to, we won’t.

Roughly from high level to low level:
- uBlock custom filters
- Make pages unusable or less attractive by wonky per-site browser or extension settings
- IP and DNS blocks on your local machine
- Run a DNS proxy on your local machine and block domains with it
- Host a pihole server on a different machine, make it your DNS server and block domains there
- IP and DNS blocks in your router (if your current one has no option for this, consider buying another, preferably used)
Best apply the methods arbitrarily, so that you get even more confused about how you might restore access to a given website.
Options 5 and 6 may be the only viable ones for locking down certain smartphones or tablets.

Europe@feddit.org•Cuffs and cages for ‘Ulm 5’ pro-Palestinian activists, as Germany sells tanks to IsraelEnglish
2·3 months agoI also don’t think Germany sells entire tanks to Israel.
Important side note: anti-tank weapons are also being used for urban warfare

6·3 months agoWhat’s especially unfortunate is that calling it a protest isn’t primarily a matter of downplaying things—it’s to miss the key, dramatic point: Their line of defense is not “we didn’t do it” or “you can’t prove it” or “we didn’t intend for things to go as they did”. Instead, what they say is: “We did it all, and we did it on purpose. The equipment was intended for a genocide, the German government has been allowing or even supporting it, protests did not help, therefore we were justified under German law to destroy part of these systems.” In order to judge whether this was indeed an act of legitimate defense of a third party (Nothilfe), the court may be forced to officially judge whether Israel has been conducting a genocide and whether the German government has been inactive or even complicit in it.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•NoPeek - free open source Android app that detects nearby Meta Ray-Ban glasses and VR headsets via BluetoothEnglish
101·4 months agoSweet. A question though: Why on Microsoft GitHub and not on Codeberg?
In case someone needs an alternative, the SambaLite app by edgels from F-Droid is pretty easy to use (requiring a Samba setup on your PC, of course).
Vimium is sweet, been running it on Librewolf for a month. What sucks though is that
Alt+Numberfor activating tabs does not work (Github issue).Make sure to add exception rules for specific websites. For instance, on video sites like PeerTube and YouTube, exempt at least the keys

What about the recommendation that, if one does approach them directly, one should do so with a leg rather than an arm?

Also, it seems like the paywall is just on the client-side, and (at least in my case) just uBlock origin removes it

Accessibility direly needs more volunteer work in almost all projects. So you could, for example, pick your favorite desktop and get involved in their accessibility efforts (e.g. start here for KDE).
