I mean, I'm telling people to sign this even though I made an extension to bypass the age checks on some sites, if it fails then too bad but we can't be sure if we don't try everything.
@enigmatico@EUCommission@StopKillingGames@privacy The SKG team is still ongoing in their actions and even if the eu commission did pretty much nothing, this brought up the subject to the eu parliament which is in support of it and is looking to integrate it in the digital fairness act. So, no it wasn't all useless!
Moving this to the replies since it's less important, but I'm the dev of a #firefox add-on to get past age verification on some of these sites so that's great news for me too!
@BaroqueLobster Can you please try :
- Update the extension to the latest version 1.0.5 (or uninstall and reinstall)
- Refresh the page
There seems to have been an issue when you didn't navigate directly to the page from the URL bar but from elsewhere on Reddit. This should be fixed in the latest version.
@Skyline969 I meant you won't be able ti use the disc drive for that's still being sold full price today for games beyond 2028. I edited the post to clear that up.
Also, PC gaming is digital but most of the times you have the game files downloaded somewhere, you can make a backup, and unless the game is online only you can theoratically play it forever.
With this, once Sony eventually takes down the store just like they did for the PS Vita, then you won't be able to play games at all, and will very likely be the proud owner of a fancy black and white brick. They can also remove games from your library and this will make you unable to buy used games.
@IceWolf@games It's funny you say that because I have a PS2 and all the games still work on it. I was actually playing a PS2 game when I wrote this post!
@Hxrmit That will also get you a better uBlock origin, as these changes also affect that extension! On chrome you only have uBlock Origin Lite, but on Firefox you can add your own filters, block cookie banners and social media widgets, and update the blocklist without updating the extension which isn't doable on Chrome / Chromium!
@stoy@UnfairUtan Yeah, that works too! Or redlib. I'm just trying to make it easier for the people who prefer the current interface and don't want to relearn everything
@UnfairUtan Huh! That is strange, for me it works!
Are you sure you have enabled the extension and allowed it to run in private windows if you use these? Is it version 1.0.3?

@Fmstrat Well technically I added support for another platform just now (see github) and so I changed the name. I don't think in 1 day I had too many users lol
@enigmatico @StopKillingGames @EUCommission @privacy I think personally it's still best to push everywhere you can.

@leave_it_blank It's a legal obligation in the EU with GDPR
(And it's only targetting, you still have ads even with these off)

@Gonzako Shameless plug, I made an extension to try and bypass this on some sites! Free and open source too.

@BaroqueLobster I see that the popup says "View in app" while the one I block says "Log in", can you log out and try again?

Ah the good times... :blobcatpensive:
@DoucheBagMcSwag If one day I'm gone at least you know why!
But I'll always be back! 😉
@de_lancre Oh wtf, you're right, I thought it was my extension removing it but apparently not. This is super weird lol
@Hxrmit Actually, Firefox recently added support for the Serial API, so web flashing should work on Firefox too!

@Hxrmit Sadly, I can't, see here for why

@guynamedzero I mean, there are so many NSFW subreddit, let's at least show it off on a fun one! 😄

@Duke_Nukem_1990 For this one verification platform at least, yeah
@Fmstrat Well technically I added support for another platform just now (see github) and so I changed the name. I don't think in 1 day I had too many users lol
@cipherd Snooping around in the console and not wanting to show my face to some random website! Also, reading the docs on their site helped.
