Gman released HL3 in August 1945, but there were no devices capable of running it and no one new wtf he was talking about anyway, so the only copy of it, on a curious object called thumbdrive, ended up buried on the back shelf in a Santa Fe RadioShack.

Enjoy ProtonMail's premium custom scheduling & custom snoozing for free


Using this userscript I made : git.kaki87.net/KaKi87/userscripts/protonmailWithoutAnnoyances


ProtonMail allows scheduling and snoozing messages for free at preset times, e.g. tomorrow, next Monday, this weekend, etc., and always at 8, but makes people pay to choose a customized date and time.

I had a hunch that this restriction might only be implemented client-side, so I tried modifying the value in DevTools for the first time, and I couldn't believe it : that worked !

So, in order to automate this, I created a userscript that replaces the button press handler for the "custom" option, then lets you input whatever value you need, e.g. (next) Wednesday, (in) 30 minutes, (today at) 8 PM, Thursday at 7 (AM), etc.

Then, it lets the app believe that we're gonna schedule using the tomorrow preset, until it intercepts the request and swaps the time value with the user's choice.

Enjoy !

This is a cool user script. I don't want to take that away from you. Beckons me back to a more fun version of the internet. You're providing a useful feature to people.

However I do want to encourage anyone running user scripts on their email clients to be very careful. If your script auto updates you are opening yourself up to a delayed attack. And if you don't understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation. Determine your threat model and capability and proceed appropriately.

i had the same though when i read the title and it appealed to me because of it and also because i'm a proton user (for now).

i'd like to think this is safer than the other scripts that existed(ed) out there in that you can see the source for yourself, so maybe the threat isn't so extreme.

Thank you !

What about stuff that runs everywhere, including email clients ?

uBO for example, is a much bigger codebase that no random user is gonna read, yet it does run on ProtonMail and there's no way to be sure no malicious person injected something in there to read people's emails.

In addition, I also have userscripts that technically do run everywhere, but only do something concrete on some websites, that I don't have a finite list of URLs for.

For example, Fediverse redirector is a userscript that redirects any Fediverse app instance to the user's choice. But, any URL may be a Fediverse app, and I need to check it first. Same with Enhancements for Forgejo, this one adds features to Forgejo instances, but any URL could be a Forgejo instance.

if you don't understand every bit of the script you are opening yourself up to exploitation


Yeah, maybe I should add some comments, and also highlight the import of createFetchInterceptor (still my own code but in a separate file for reusability).

Can you get Clipboard History on Gnome+Wayland?


I wanted a simple clipboard history on Win+V.

I've installed CopyQ - it's ugly, starts with a lag and doesn't quite work on Super+V shortcut. I've switched to Wayland and it silently stopped working altogether.

Next, I've installed Gnome Clipboard History Extension - it looks good, fast, works on Super+V, but for some reason it can't paste into Kate text editor.

Is it possible to get a reliable clipboard history manager on Gnome+Wayland, or should I stop wasting my time? Maybe someone has a working solution?

I am a little but frustrated by the obstacles I encounter trying to get this simple feature.

in reply to podbrushkin

I use copyq on wayland everyday. But not gnome, on hyprland.

Do Ubuntu derivatives use the TPM out of the box for cryptographic operations?


I use PopOS and I wonder does the TPM processor in my CPU get used for anything out of the box? If not, what could it be used for? Have you guys got practical advice?
in reply to ZkhqrD5o

The TPM could be used to generate a LUKS decryption key from a password or PIN.

That would tie that password to the hardware, but with LUKS you can have multiple ones, so a long password that directly unlocks the key should be possible in addition

in reply to boredsquirrel

This is probably the main reason every mainboard has TPMs now, since all common operating systems (Android, iOS/MacOS and Windows) do it.

From what I heard the Ubuntu installer offers a version that doesn't suck (if secure boot is enabled at install time) so using that is probably fine, but I would beware of trying to DIY it since it's easy to do incorrectly, most guides are wrong, and you will likely end up with easily bypassable encryption.

in reply to Oinks

Thankfully I don't even trust TPM, so I just use regular passphrase unlock. This has added benefit of password expiration if unused (I will forget it eventually).
in reply to u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org)

What about it do you not trust, out of curiosity? And how do you ensure OS integrity if not using TPM?
in reply to bassomitron

TPM is great on paper, but in practice, there was little planning to ensure that cryptographic keys would be safeguarded by hardware manufacturers, and that's exactly what happened. Now TPM is considered weak as a means of securing data.

in reply to ZkhqrD5o

I'm not aware of any consumer distros that use TPM enrollment for anything out of the box, though the tools may be present.

Have a look at how Clevis works. That will give you an idea of how easy it is to work tish TPM in Linux.

Israeli Prison Guards Are Using Dogs to Rape Palestinians, Former Detainees Say


The testimony, collected by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), is the most recent of at least four reports of dogs being used in the sexual torture of detainees at the Sde Teiman facility and elsewhere.

“They know once they rape someone with a dog or with a stick that these people won’t be able to carry out their jobs or live their lives normally,” Basel Alsourani, international advocacy officer at PCHR, told Novara Media. “It’s part of their genocidal intention to destroy [Palestinians].”

“We were stripped completely. Soldiers brought dogs that climbed on us and urinated on me,” he said. “Then one of the dogs raped me – the dog… inserted its penis into my anus, while the soldiers kept beating and torturing us and spraying pepper spray in our faces.

Waymo Just Reprogrammed Its Robotaxis to Drive Less Safely


Besides convenience, one of the main benefits of self-driving cars is supposed to be safety.

Yet in a bizarre move, Waymo — whose self-driving cabs had been enjoying extraordinary safety metrics — has just taken steps to make its robotaxis more human-like, eroding the safety narrative that’s been central to the autonomous vehicle narrative.

Recent reporting by The Wall Street Journal observed a startling change in Waymos’ road etiquette, a new aggressive streak that would make a BMW driver blush. These include illegal U-turns, aggressive lane switching, rolling through cross walks, and running red lights.

I love that the reference includes "see Stalin" without any further context. We've come full circle 😶

That fake Stalin quote isn't wrong tbh.

Meanwhile, thousands die each year crossing the Mediterranean, and the same governments show nothing but contempt for them.



Keir Starmer Machine Ran a Secret Campaign to Demonetize Breitbart News and Other Opposition Outlets


From our vantage point looking across the pond at the United Kingdom, it truly does seem like the country decided to put an end to itself rather than allow public anger to be channeled by the one-time Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. With hindsight, and thanks to a new book by investigative journalist Paul Holden, author of today’s article below, we can now see clearly that the destruction of the Labour Party at the hands of a corporate, pro-Israel faction within the party was quite calculated and deliberate.

One piece of that strategy involved destroying the journalistic outlets that had organized themselves around the Corbynist energy, and to do so, the faction created astroturf organizations that claimed to be objectively rooting out “fake news.”

That faction eventually succeeded in electing Sir Keir Starmer prime minister, but doing so required political deception on a historic scale, resulting inevitably in his historic unpopularity. The right-wing takeover is not a matter of if, but when, and Starmer may wind up being the last Labour prime minister ever.

Along the way, Starmer’s faction also waged a secret war on conservative news outlets, as well. The censorship campaign targeting political opponents has morphed into an alarming attack on speech rights in the UK, focused on critics of Israel but broadly encompassing a wide range of expression.

Hind Rajab Foundation and human rights groups call for arrest of Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni


The Hind Rajab Foundation, the Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights have called on Canadian authorities to arrest former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni for war crimes ahead of a planned visit to Toronto, Canada.

The three organisations filed a complaint with the Canadian Department of Justice on Wednesday, detailing Olmert and Livni’s participation in war crimes and crimes against humanity during the 2008–2009 Gaza War.

The complaint urges an open investigation into their roles and a warrant for their arrest pursuant to Canada’s Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act and in compliance with the country's obligation under Article 146 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 to “seek out and prosecute” those reasonably suspected of grave breaches who set foot in Canada.

Raccoon goes on drunken rampage in Virginia liquor store and passes out on bathroom floor


ASHLAND, Va. (AP) — The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf, where the scotch and whisky were stored. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed, a ceiling tile collapsed and alcohol pooled on the floor.

The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he’s a raccoon.

On Saturday morning, an employee at the Ashland, Virginia-area liquor store found the trash panda passed out on the bathroom floor at the end of his drunken escapade.

Hillary Clinton says TikTok to blame for young Americans' pro-Palestine views.


Hillary Clinton is facing a deluge of criticism after stating that young Americans' growing support for Palestinians is influenced by "totally made-up" videos on TikTok and suggesting that American youth - including young Jews - "don't know history and don't understand" Israel's war on Gaza.

Speaking on Tuesday at a summit hosted by the right-wing Israeli paper Israel Hayom in New York City, the former Democratic presidential candidate expressed her concerns that “smart, well-educated young people” in America and around the world are getting a lot of their information, including about Israel and Palestine, from social media platforms like TikTok.

The former US secretary of state described it as "serious problem for democracy", remarking that when she attempted to have "reasonable discussions" with young people, it was challenging because “they did not know history, they had very little context, and what they were being told on social media was not just one-sided, it was pure propaganda".

Kokov noted that the EU leadership and the authorities of European countries are ready to spend billions from their budgets at the expense of their own people. "The clearest manifestation of their cynicism and hypocrisy is the financing of hostilities [in Ukraine] from the so-called European Peace Facility. At the same time, most of these funds end up in the accounts of affiliated companies and are simply plundered by the Ukrainian leadership, their cronies, and lobbyists from the European Union," he added.


one of the big takeaways is how well this conflict dispels any notion that europeans are somewhat better global citizens than americans or russian and it makes me wonder if the europeans are as distraught by this unmasking as americans are about our own unmasking with trump.

Like in pretty much all branches, the AI will eventually just be another tool. There still needs to be someone there to actually understand what the tool produces or it will result in catastrophees. You don't want to live in a building structurally designed by an AI without oversight nor fly in a plane programmed y an AI without oversight. Even for non-critical branches, there will be someone who directs the AI when it is e.g. composing the next shitty pop-song.

That's my view as well. There ultimately needs to be a human decision maker in the loop for any meaningful work to happen.
