Well I would seriously consider paying money to a team that keeps it there, if Chromium actually removes the code. I hope others will consider it as well. We need to fight this, even if it means paying some money to a foundation to do so.

There's the futile hope I suppose that antitrust cases going on against Alphabet might force Google to divest Chrome from its advertising arm, so that there's no pressure to make this whole thing worse. Hah, in my dreams.

I really hope some team has been following the changes in Chrome/Chromium by Google to remove Manifest v2, and has been keeping a patchset that will undo the damage? Time to make a hard fork and get some funding to try to keep it going?

There's a way to save your already-installed extension, in "Manage Extensions..." Enable dev mode, then Pack Extension.

However the browser will probably just refuse to run it soon.

Vivaldi, for what it's worth, seems to still run uBlock Origin just fine. I am afraid to uninstall it now to test if it'll re-install properly.

My version: 7.1.3570.39 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

Might be time to finally move to Firefox though, if Vivaldi doesn't keep Manifest V2 support.

I have heard of it yeah! Definitely want to try it out.. just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Do you find the voice recognition is decent?

The Assistan/Nest devices have gone to shit as well. When I first bought one about 5 years ago, it could:

• play many games (voice-controlled text adventures, multi-player gameshow-style trivia and party games, etc.);
• play music from my Google Music Library library with no commercials;
• play podcasts from 3rd party podcast providers;
• play almost any radio station that also had livestream feeds

Now all the games are gone, and 'podcasts' are just the small subset of podcasters who also upload their episodes to Youtube (whatever feed they used to use had almost every podcaster there was, even obscure ones); asking for specific episodes by episode number or date is totally broken. Playing radio stations is hit or miss, the voice recognition often picks a stream completely unrelated to the one I ask for; it is waaay worse at matching the callsign/city I ask for.

Playing music is intolerable. There's a stupid commercial for Youtube Music Premium after nearly every track. NO, I will not upgrade to your freaking Youtube Premium.

Enshittification, thy name is Google.

Wonder if he'll call for electoral reform too :p

These look cool -- bookmarked!

Dunno about docker setup, but I mirror github repos I worry may disappear automatically using my self-hosted gogs instance. (Gitea/Forgejo likely also can do it). It's point-and-click, you just specify the github URL and check a box "this is a mirror".

As someone who grew up in Alberta, Hell No. As someone now residing in BC, HELL THE F*CK NO. So BC will be cut off from the rest of Canada?

The commenters on that blog are all wannabe-traitors, and should move south if they don't find their current conditions to their liking. Good riddance, try not to get shot down there while going bankrupt for a scratched knee at the hospital.

Spinnaker's is a nice restaurant/pub in Vic. Courtenay/Comox area has lots of beautiful nature hikes, well honestly anywhere up &down the coast!

And ketchup chips and hawaiian pizza! OK OK I know I'm pushing my luck here :)
