As someone who never heard of "Thriving Movement" nor "DEI-type initiaives" before, it seems to be around making the workplace (Wikimedia Foundation) more diverse, equal and inclusive. At a glance, those seems like good things to introduce to global organizations (especially foundations) that is supposed to be represented by the whole world. But I can agree that it seems like a large part of the budget, for being wha…

> those seems like good things The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. If I were a cynical man I might speculate that it's not because things that look good don't get scrutinised as much but that anyone wanting less scrutiny might try painting their aims as "good" and those who object as therefore "bad". But I digress. Wikimedia's mission is[1]: > to empower and engage people around the world to collect and d…

They also don't need millions to achieve a diverse workplace - a more economical option could be to move their headquarters out of SV.

it’s not dead and works well, but wont survive the Manifest V3 changeover. It’s the most important extension out there for the savvy web explorer

So switch to Firefox and continue enjoying it after Mv3

Firefox still seems to be quite bloated, although there has been improvements in performance. We need more competition vs a company that’s entirely reliant on Google’s $ to stay in business

He really should. I'd pitch in 50 EUR for that.

Haha. This reminds me of a Redditor's story. Despite having no money to afford professional hardware, he still managed to take good astronomy photos using his phone. In one of his posts, his photos impressed a "kind stranger" so much that they gifted him one of the most expensive Reddit awards, whose value can buy him a third of his desired gear.

haha, oh man

(For context: Reddit awards don't give the recipient anything except the ability to browse Reddit without any banner ads, and access to a special forum. If you make a big Reddit donation to someone, you're actually donating to Conde Nast, Spez, etc)

But, do you donate? https://archive.org/donate?origin=wbwww-TopNavDonateButton (Couldn't find links for uBo and ytdl. I've asked gorhill where to donate in the past and they've refused donations.)

I refuse to donate to the Archive since the unpersoning of KiwiFarms.

Could not find what happened, but if it's the forum known for enabling harassment, and if IA did something bad to this site owner, then I find no problem. Those kind of people deserve what they do to others.

I did this earlier today. The background stuff (I forget the name of what crashed at present) crashes on a vanilla conversion. It did block some ads, but wasn't full-featured.

Any possibility to get a blog post about how to do this or a gist? I would love to learn how to do this but I sadly don’t know where to start.

Sorry, didn't see your reply.

`xcrun safari-web-extension-converter `

It'll create an xcode project and you can run the mac app from there. Safari will need the "Allow Unsigned Extensions" from the Develop menu set before it'll show up in the prefs page. No idea how it all works if you want it on iOS.
