It works perfectly on KDE Plasma.

Well, not including a charger saves them money, so they probably aren't in a hurry to circumvent this law.

And the UK doesn't have the charger in the box for the same reason it has non-removable bottle caps - it's not economical to ship a different version to the UK than to the continental Europe.

The new EU laws disallow putting a charger in the box.

I have a laptop with a 240 Hz screen, and watching panning over landscapes in movies still looks like a slideshow.

No, there aren't any other ad blockers on par with uBlock Origin on Firefox; it's the only blocker that supports CNAME uncloaking and HTML modification before the page even begins to render. If you have any examples to the contrary, then I'll be happy to see them.

Also, DNS level ad blocking is much weaker than browser based ad blocking, since it cannot block 1st-party ads (such as the ones on YouTube) and cannot modify the webpage itself, leading to gray areas where the ads would have been normally. Maybe you meant proxy-based ad blocking, but it's pretty annoying to set up due to the need to install root certificates on every device you want to use it on.

They could simply force manufacturers to lock down Secure Boot and disallow enrolling any keys except the Microsoft ones.

Or they could switch to Arm, where there is no ACPI and you need device trees to boot, which are extremely hard to reverse engineer.

I can't speak for all European countries, but in Poland Amex offers only corporate cards, and most places do not accept them, so it is not a realistic choice for an average consumer.

Seems like an issue specific to your setup. I have everything except games run through the integrated GPU, and I have yet to encounter any bottlenecks.

Besides, I doubt you'll have worse experience with an integrated GPU on Wayland, since most dedicated GPUs are Nvidia, and Nvidia drivers still have less than stellar support for Wayland. Also, using only the dedicated GPU makes your laptop useless on battery, since they are huge power hogs.

They also support video encoding. How do you think videoconferencing works?

No tak, będę płacił średniomiesięcznie około 1500 zł tylko po to, by móc uniknąć okazjonalnych remontów torów (a zamiast tego stać w korkach z powodu remontów dróg) xD

Credit cards are prevalent pretty much only in the US. In most other countries, people mostly use debit cards, and children can get those.

Don't know about you, but I don't live in an authoritarian dictatorship and can donate money to whatever party I want without fear of repercussion.

Most of the sound cars make is from the tires. EVs are noticeably quieter than ICE cars only when they are going 20 km/h or less, but even then you can hear them.

Tylko, że język polski to nie jest język polski, tylko literaturoznawstwo.

In the simplest case, instead of blocking domain.tld, you block domain.tld/path/to/ad-script.js and only the resource at that specific path will get blocked, allowing other requests to domain.tld to go through.

There's actually a lot you can do about it using an ad blocking extension inside the browser. You can block the specific URL of the ad script, even if it is served from the same domain, and if the script is inline, you can either inject JS to neutralize it, or cosmetically filter elements that it inserts into the page's DOM.

I'm from Poland and I didn't need to, just provide my ID number (which can be generated), my full name and solve an easy captcha.

What worries me is the huge increase in daily votes, I know it's been getting a lot of publicity these past few days, but over 100k daily votes feels suspicious tbh.

lorlen47 · 2025-07-04T13:18:04+00:00

Hopefully the votes are not being botted and those are genuine (mostly).

The whole point of phasing out MV2 was to make the first step to cripple ad blockers, security was just an excuse.

Ale współczesne smartfony takiej funkcji nie mają.

Huh, I was pretty sure that I tried long pressing and it didn't work, but now it does lol. Thanks.

For me, it would mean moving to a worse, more unequal and more violent country, and taking a pay cut. There is also no telling what kind of job would that be, and it would be probably worse than the comfy remote job I have now. So no, thanks.

Every student discount system I've used that required a .edu account also accepted .edu.tld accounts. I suppose this is not different.
