Nice list!

Is ther any indication that it is local only? Is the product exposed API documented?

You asked why people are pissed off by apps, here is some reasons. I honestly couldn’t care less for that toy belt.

Calibration needs is not an excuse to give up on privacy.

First example in mind: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/i-wont-connect-my-dishwasher-your-stupid-cloud

And a 2nd one: https://www.tomshardware.com/networking/your-washing-machine-could-be-sending-37-gb-of-data-a-day

Usually the issue with app dependent products, is that it rely on a fucking cloud connection. That imply that if the cloud service goes down or the company collapse, your their product become unusable. Yet all corps continue to do it as it is super handy to track their pigeon users. Data can then be sold or used to plot growth curves that gives their CEO an erection.

Also it probably requires you to have a google or apple account.

Mostly because I do not want to ping a random weather website each time I type stuff in the search bar.

Note for later, disable weather stuff in firefox…

This guy is a jaw dropping genius. It’s Such a Beautyful Day is an incredible masterpiece.

Article is wrong on Niri, the link is wrong, and it is not based on wlroots as suggested but on smithay.

Eww nice, time to replace my old Tachiyomi app. Thx

Thanks, you just improved my privacy by making me discover lemmy block user button.

In the open source world, you show respect by forking. Not by licking the ass of data monsters.

As Mozilla moves into advertising and AI, I wonder how long their position on Manifest v3 will last…

Hewww, I was not aware of this book, thanks.

Wikipedia link “see also” section has a nice list of “Steal this” related content.

Its wose mentionning that this comic name is inspired by “Still this film”. A 2 parts documentary from 2006/2007 about our freedom restriction implied by copyright laws and intelectual property non-sense. From TBP team, before TBP AFK. Very interresting to see. Sadly 20 years after, nothing has changed…

Of course it’s free to “steal”, magnets are hidden in this messy website: https://stealthisfilm.org/Part1/ https://stealthisfilm.org/Part2/

Nice! It’s using xclip or xsel to copy magnet links, afaik it’s only working on Xorg. What is the Wayland alternative for xclip?

Why do you think it’s different?

Agreed.

Also gtfobins is a great resource in addition to shellcheck to try to make secure scripts.

For instance I felt upon a script like this recently:

#!/bin/bash
# ... some stuff ...
tar -caf archive.tar.bz2 "$@"

Quotes are OK, shellcheck is happy, but, according to gtfobins, you can abuse tar, so running the script like this: ./test.sh /dev/null --checkpoint=1 --checkpoint-action=exec=/bin/sh ends up spawning an interactive shell…

So you can add up binaries insanity on top of bash’s mess.

yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all <url> is the way. It turns playlist link into nicely named, curated video files awaiting to played by a regular video player
