digikazi commented on uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari   apps.apple.com/app/ublock... · Posted by u/Jiahang

Installation is the first step, then you must enable it.

If you go to safari settings and enable it there, then you are using it.

Bizarrely when I do that it tells me “uBO Lite is not supported by this version of Safari”.

On an iPhone 13 with the latest version of iOS.

I’m very new to the Apple ecosystem so it could well be that it’s meant to work on a laptop/desktop rather than the mobile version.

I could of course be wrong: does anybody know better? Or is it a case of me being frazzled after work?

EDIT: some users have suggested upgrading to iOS 18.6 solves this problem. Doing it as we speak!

That's genuinely awesome! I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time!

I don't have a background in coding, rather I'm just a humble engineering tech but this sounds like something I want to learn and sink my teeth into.

I have a tremendous amount of links - probably going back to the late 2000's and I've always relied on services like Pinboard, Raindrop and Delicious (!).

Once again thank you for the inspiration and the metaphorical kick up the backside!

Libgen, #bookz on irc, and dedrm plugin for calibre will let you get drm free copies of books you already own so you can use them however you see fit

Sadly Libgen seems to have been down for the past couple of months, there is some discussion whether it will ever come back or not.

Ah man, this guy.

After being shaken about, squished up with other garbage and then buried with god knows what for 12 years, I wouldn’t bet on being able to read a single byte from that old drive, even if it could be found.

It’s gone mate.

That exactly what I was going to say: what makes him think that a HDD bought in 2013 and buried in a landfill site since then will work when its plugged in?

Personally I have my doubts - as per Nursie: It's gone mate.

Why does anyone ever give Google money for anything at this point?
digikazi · a year ago
In my case, out of nostalgia for the Google of old. I paid for a Pixel phone and was very unimpressed with the experience, so much so that after a lifetime on Android I went and bought a brand new iDevice. Oddly enough I found Google Fit to be a nice app to use, fairly straightforward and without too much crud. Oh well, off to the Goog Graveyard it goes!

Maybe if I had better understanding of the Pixel capabilities I may have bought one.

I am not sure if you'd want one? I returned the Pixel 7a after a few days. Stock Android is great, the camera is top-notch and goes head-to-head with iPhone. But the fingerprint sensor is mediocre (they use an optical sensor) and charging is very slow. The issues make it not-great as a daily phone. People have reported similar issues with the 7.

digikazi · 2 years ago
That was my experience as well. Generally speaking the Pixel 7a is a competent phone with one (big) flaw. The battery life is truly terrible, and the charging speeds are glacial. I was honestly expecting more, especially as its advertised as Google's best. The forums are full of people complaining about it and the responses are almost the same: Turn off 5G!! Turn off wifi scanning! Turn off bluetooth scanning too! Dial down the screen refresh rate!

Returned the phone and got an iPhone 13 instead; and as painful as it was switching to iOS after 13 years of Android, I don't regret my decision. The iDevice comes with its own niggles, but at least I don't have to worry about battery life (yet). Maybe google will figure it out by the time the Pixel 8a comes out.

I love smoky old churches. Sadly so many of them (especially in off-the-beaten-path places) were constructed with wood and various accidents (candles, short-circuits) burned them to the ground. Not the same even if fully reconstructed...
digikazi · 2 years ago
I do as well, which is why when I went to Athens for two weeks last September, I very much looked forward to lots of smoky old orthodox churches. Alas, it wasn't to be: the vast majority of churches I saw looked brand new and as if they had been designed by MacDonald's. Clearly the church has money - and the imagination/vision of petty shopkeepers.

Unless you're part of the 68% of the world population who are lactose intolerant
digikazi · 3 years ago
That's very true. Luckily I am not, and so I can enjoy cheese in all its forms.

As to whether it's "good for you" or not... I suspect moderation is the key word here.

This is utter nonsense. Unlike Russia, NATO isn't invading members in order to force them to join. Countries are begging NATO to let them in so that they have some measure of protection against Russia. NATO is not some "supremacist idea" of who gets to use military force, it is a reaction to Russian aggression. Ukraine did not seek to join NATO due to the US asking it to, it sought to join NATO to defend against Russia after overthrowing Putin's puppet in 2014. Quit your bullshit.

NATO was quite happy to bomb Serbia and Libya, to name but two.
