"Kono Sekai no Kouryakuhon wo Hirotte Shimaimashita" Just got its first update in 8 months, glad to see it back.
@mttaggart At which point I go and switch to librewolf, and hope that they've sufficiently stripped out the nonsense. I've been tempted to try doing that anyway.
@requiem There are some bases out there to work from that aren't ridiculously out of date, like Ladybird or Webkit. The latter was what chrome started from anyway. Or could just fork Servo.
@lrhodes That last one is probably undercounted. Anyone who has a blog probably is creating an RSS feed to go along with all of those posts, most blogging software still does it automatically.
@TechConnectify @justNickoli (They're trying to add a weight tax as well, justifying it as a "SUV" tax.)
@TechConnectify @justNickoli This is on top of the sales tax, our sales tax on cars was a bit higher than other nearby states, so people used to go to nearby states to buy cars, then they raised the registration costs to compensate for that.
@TechConnectify @justNickoli The taxes vary based on car age here in Colorado. My car being 10 years old is only $56 to register, but brand new ones could be $600-2000 per year. (They decline for the first 5 years, freeze in price for 5 more years, then drop to almost nothing at 10 years.) It kind of acts as a Use-tax as well as a registration fee.
@TechConnectify @nowster Might be worth putting some unusual screws on your plate. Something that requires a spanner or a torx bit to remove. Wouldn't stop a determined thief, but would prevent casual ones.
@TechConnectify @nowster (When you move your plates to a new car, you have to update the fact that you did it with the DMV so they can update the database.)
@TechConnectify @nowster The plate itself has nothing to do with the car, but the very first thing that pops up when a police car scans a plate is the make and model from the DMV database. I was pulled over once because the plate reader mis-read the plate, said it was a different model, then after pulling my car over they double-checked the plate by hand and found the error.
Mark Rober just did a video where he found out how much people steal plates from similar models and colors of cars in order to misdirect people who write the plate number down when people break into things.

@TechConnectify @tetra Complaining about something windows does wrong is like catnip to people who don't like windows. :D Sure fire way to get them to ask "Why use windows?"
@requiem https://www.ftelnet.ca/download/ This still requires a proxy server be installed somewhere, but they have options for using third party proxy servers.
@requiem I think something like that would only work with the server that the client was hosted from due to a lot of the mechanisms that have been put into web browsers about privacy and the like. Those other mechanisms probably have a relay server.
@TechConnectify I don't know of any system that does that unfortunately. Everything sucks.
@TechConnectify @massa elk.zone's front end has a "wellbeing" section of its settings, it doesn't have sentiment filtering there yet but they might be open to it given that they're looking at that sort of thing for its users.
@TechConnectify @mcdanlj Stacked notifications, such as all replies for a single post go into one notification entry with a counter that you can click into, makes a lot of sense, I hope they implement that.
