    I was wondering about this, actually. I've encountered a couple cases where I simply can't turn it off (as in "the toggle just makes it visually break in different ways instead of deactivating"). I'll have to look into Page Shadow. I was exploring Dark Reader alternatives a few weeks ago because I wasn't satisfied with DR's theming options and occasional inconsistencies, but I didn't find anything that seemed better.

    Gotta get you Dark Reader! (It's a browser extension.) I didn't even realize this site didn't have a dark mode because DR did a solid job with it.

    Full disclosure, the results are kinda ugly maybe 40% of the time, but it's still better than being blinded by your screen turning into the surface of the sun out of nowhere.

    Off the top of my head (...)

    Edit: Well, I tried, but I misread your comment as saying the breakdown in communication was launcher -> browser, not browser -> launcher. In that case I have no ideas, sorry!

    Edit 2: Actually I think my original idea still applies? If you can figure out what your browser is trying to pass to the launcher, you should be able to go into the system settings where the filetype:application associations are registered and make the link manually (set the launcher as an app to use to open whatever this thing is). As for how to figure out the format of the object that's being passed, I unfortunately have no suggestions, but I do think that should be possible.

    Yeah, while I personally wouldn't have phrased your initial question the way that you did (and from what I've seen quoted in the thread, I think I agree with others' reading of the GDPR anyway), I thought the underlying sentiment of caution was perfectly reasonable. I've also been here for years (previously under a different name) and I do remember Bauke now, but until kfwyre reminded everyone I couldn't place the name. Recognizing community members is one of the things I enjoy most about Tildes, but I think it's unfair to assume everyone remembers the names they see or even cares to.

    Wait, what the hell? I never saw the page/video where Juice makes fun of the plaque and Nine loses power for a second. That makes it so much better. The ending would not have seemed weird to me at all had I seen that. When I read it I went straight from Nancy talking about her grandpa's Browns sign to Emily and Jason talking about NYC. I guess I bumped "continue" by accident and didn't notice somehow? That's annoying. Thanks for clueing me in!

    Hank Green sits down with Bernie Sanders to talk about regulating AI, specifically a datacenter moratorium bill the senator has recently introduced. There's not a ton of specifics in here, but Hank and Bernie both had some comments which I thought offered a bit of fresh insight. It's also just comforting to be reminded that someone with power is trying to do something about all of this.

    (Once Hank starts playing connections, the video's basically over; he talks more after that but TBH I don't think there's really anything of substance in that closing bit.)

    Spoilery questions

    Edit: Somehow I missed a page?

    I'm a little confused about the ending - it seems extremely abrupt. Why is Nine going to sleep? Was this referenced earlier on and I just forgot? Why does Juice have such limited time to answer remaining questions?

    Sure, crypto is an option too. Signal accepts it as well. I'm sure plenty of people who care enough to want to keep their payment info separate from their Signal/Proton account are also wary of anything to do with crypto, though. But as for "how do they know if an account is current?", it sounds like that's possible with Signal's method?

    Using the anonymous credential scheme that we introduced for Signal private groups, clients make payments and then associate a badge to their profile such that the server can authenticate the client is in the set of people who made a payment, but doesn’t know specifically which payment it corresponds to.

    Like, it doesn't specifically mention attesting currency, but couldn't it? The "badge" in the above statement could be a digital stamp on your account that says "yep, this one's paid for until YYMMDD". It basically already is; the visible badges you get on your Signal profile only last for a certain amount of time. Doesn't that require the same functionality as "tying features of your account to payment" would? And it sounds like the server never knows which payment corresponds to which account. I don't see another way to read that statement, but it's totally possible I'm wrong. Am I just missing something?

    I agree that supporting the broken clock when it's right isn't a "cancelable" offense. For me, it was the part about

    10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned... Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

    that really bugged me. Like, yes the Democrats are often useless, but claiming that the Republicans stand for the little guys and are more likely to fight big tech abuses is a take that simply has no basis in reality.

    A second thing that isn't directly related but makes me mostly agree with @lynxy is that the last time Proton was in the news for acquiescing to law enforcement, it was the payment information that was the weak link... But Signal has this solved. Why doesn't Proton? Maybe I'm missing something that makes it different for them, but as a layperson it sounds like Signal's scheme should be widely applicable.

    If you put yourself in a situation where you have to change everything all at once, then of course you'll be inclined to never do it because it's too hard.

    This was the biggest thing for me—you gotta start somewhere. Part of it involves an appreciation of delayed gratification, but the more practical fact is that you simply can't do it all at once. Privacy isn't a house you build in a day, you do it one brick at a time until eventually you've got a home.
