2024.03.15 04:47 DenigratingDegenerat How to Migrate All Your Data From Chrome to Firefox + How To Install uBlock Origin + Recommended Setup & Extension(s)

SKIP TO "Switiching from Chrome to Firefox" FOR TUTORIAL

Ahoy there, sailors! I previously posted this on animepiracy but it has since been removed. (Sent a DM to the mods in hopes to get the post back up) And so I've decided to post this here, if you haven't heard about it already, Chrome Manifest V3 is coming, once introduced ALL your V2 extensions on Chrome & Chromium-based browsers will be disabled. Yes, all of them. Including your adblockers, Manifest V3 will limit the functionality of ALL extensions which of course includes adblockers and their ability to do their job adequately.
Straight from the horse's mouth:

We will begin disabling Manifest V2 extensions in pre-stable versions of Chrome (Dev, Canary, and Beta) as early as June 2024, in Chrome 127 and later.
Users impacted by the rollout will see Manifest V2 extensions automatically disabled in their browser and will no longer be able to install Manifest V2 extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
Also in June 2024, Manifest V2 extensions will lose their Featured badge in the Chrome Web Store if they currently have one. ^Source

What does this mean? For those of you that use Chrome and haven't seen an ad in ages, you will start seeing them soon. You won't be able to do much about it, sure there will be workarounds but they won't nearly be as safe as the already available and well-vetted extensions. And I'm certain adblocker devs are already hard at work but...
If you haven't considered switching to Firefox before, now is the time. The following guide is from Firefox themselves, I merely copied and pasted it. All images from the official tutorial are linked to the original source. Here's a link to the guide: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-chrome-firefox

Switching from Chrome to Firefox

Switching from Google Chrome to Firefox is easy and risk-free! Firefox can automatically import your bookmarks, history, and other data from Chrome without deleting it or interfering with any of its settings. Give it a try.
1. Don't remove Chrome [yet]… We'll need it to import your bookmarks and other

(Optional) If you have Google Chrome open tabs you want to save, bookmark them all in an easy-to-find location, such as in a new “Open Tabs” folder in the Bookmarks

2. Download and install Firefox from Mozilla's download page.
3. Quit Chrome if you have it running.
4. Open your newly-installed Firefox. The import tool will appear.

If it doesn't, click the menu button (the icon is just three lines), select Settings and in the General panel, click on Import Data under the Import Browser Data section.

5. Choose the Google Chrome profile and the data you wish to import.

To choose the data you wish to import, click the + button.

6. Click the Import button to start the import process.
7. Click the Done button when the import has completed.
See the Import bookmarks and other data from Google Chrome article for more information.
Note: If you saved your open tabs in Google Chrome, find the “From Google Chrome” folder in the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar, select the “Open Tabs” folder you created and click Open All in Tabs to open the tabs in Firefox. Open all bookmarks in tabs (image)

Recommended Extensions

The following guide(s) were written by me, the uBlock Origin one was originally a guide I made in a comment for someone when I first made my account and figured it'd fit in perfectly in this post.
The following are extensions I personally use, and highly recommend. I've also provided a guide on how to install uBlock Origin as well as recommended settings for both it and Firefox itself. If you have suggestions or add-ons that you personally would recommend feel free to comment them below, I'll add them to the post.

uBlock Origin

uBlock Origin is, according to the creator(s), not an "ad blocker" but a wide-spectrum content blocker with CPU and memory efficiency as a primary feature. Unlike Adblocker or Adblocker Plus there are no "acceptable" ads. If it's an ad, it's bad. That seems to be their motto. You can do a variety of things regarding adblocking like; block javascript, remote fonts, disable cosmetic filtering, block large media on a site & block all popups. That's all out of the box, it also provides a vast constantly updated filter list and even allows for your own custom filters.
If you have any questions regarding uBlock Origin and/or need help check out uBlockOrigin as well as these resources:
uBlock Origin Firefox Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

uBlock Origin Official Site: https://ublockorigin.com/

Fixes for common issues: https://old.reddit.com/uBlockOrigin/wiki/solutions
YouTube MegaThread: https://old.reddit.com/uBlockOrigin/comments/1atwzem/youtube_detection_ads_breakages_2024_02_18_ubo/
Official Wiki: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki
Github:https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock
UBO is pretty much the only extension you'll really need regarding ads, UBO + Enhanced Tracking Protection that Firefox provides by default is good enough.

Installing Ublock Origin on Firefox

Select the 3 lines on the top right of your browser, if you hover your mouse over it should say "Open application menu". Select "Add-on and themes", alternatively use the key combo: CTRL+SHIFT+A
Select the search bar, it should say: "Search addons.mozzila.org, enter "Ublock Origin" it will open a new tab and it should be the first result and have a "Recommended" highlight to it. Click on the result, then select the "Add to Firefox" button, afterwards when prompted select "Add"

Customizing Ublock Origin settings

After having installed it you should see a red icon with UB on the top right of your browser, click on it. If you do not see a the extension, locate the puzzle piece on your toolbar (when hovering over it should say "Extensions". After selecting it you should see a pop-up you should then see "uBlock Origin", select the gear icon next to it, then "Pin to Toolbar".
After clicking on UB on the Toolbar you should see a prompt, this allows you to do a variety of different things regarding blocking ads but what you want to click is the gear icons on the bottom-right of the extension pop-up. When hovering over it with your mouse cursor it should say "Open the dashboard".
This will open a new tab for adjusting your settings, Select "Filter lists". From there check the following options:
✔️Auto-update filter lists
✔️Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded
✔️Parse and enforce cosmetic filters
Built-in
✔️uBlock filters
Ads
✔️AdGuard - Ads
✔️AdGuard - Mobile Ads
✔️EasyList
Privacy
✔️AdGuard Tracking Protection
✔️AdGuard URL Tracking Protection
✔️Block Outsider Intusion into LAN
✔️EasyPrivacy
Malware protection, security
✔️Online Malicious URL Blocklist
✔️Phishing URL blocklist
Multipurpose
✔️Peter Low's Ad and tracking server list
Annoyances
✔️AdGuard - Annoyances
✔️EasyList - Annoyances
✔️uBlock filter - Annoyances

Change DNS Settings

The following is only really necessary in order to bypass website access limitations. If a website is blocked despite the VPN this should unblock it depending on your DNS choice. I can't give a recommendation without being biased, FireFox has default DNS's but it's recommended to use other DNS providers. Also, please be aware that using a DNS can break sites and some DNS's may not work with Firefox for a variety of reasons.
After choosing a DNS, open the application menu (the three lines at the top-right), select "Settings", go to "Privacy & Security" scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. Select "Max Protection", under "Choose Provider" copy and paste the "Host Name" of whatever DNS you ended up choosing from the MegaThread link. "Max Protection" causes Firefox to always use the DNS that you've chosen no matter what. Whereas "Default Protection" allows Firefox to make that choice for you, and "Increased Protection" allows you to make the choice of whether or not to use it (only if their "Secure DNS" fails).
DNS Resolvers (Straight from the Wiki): https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/

Extra Privacy (Recommended)

The following are simple personal adjustments to Firefox that I'd recommend.
Under "Privacy & Security" in "Settings", at the top of the page select "Custom" and select the following options:
✔️Cookies ✔️All cross-site cookies (may cause websites to break)
✔️Tracking content ✔️In all windows
✔️Cryptominers
✔️Known fingerprinters
✔️Suspected fingerprinters ✔️In all windows
The following are also in the "Privacy & Security" tab.
Under "Website Privacy Preferences"
✔️Tell websites not to sell or share my data
✔️Send websites a “Do Not Track” request
Under "HTTPS-Only Mode"
✔️Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows

Adsbypasser

The following extension is a link shortener bypasser.
From their description:

This user script helps you to:

skip countdown ads or continue pages.

prevent ad pop-up windows.

It CANNOT help you to solve reCAPTCHAs.
Lite edition removes image-hosting site support from Full edition. If you prefer to use other userscripts to deal with image-hosting sites, you can use the Lite edition.

This extension is really really useful for bypassing link redirects where you end up on some random advertising site. Or those that send you through countdown after countdown. You'll still have to wait through the countdowns in some cases and still have to do the captcha regardless... but at the very least you'll get to where you want to. Though be warned this will install one or both of the following extensions on Firefox: TamperMonkey or ViolentMonkey. These are extensions that allow you to install userscripts which may be malicious. Most aren't, of course this one isn't. Point is, be careful of what userscripts you use, should you decide this extension/userscript is for you.
Adsbypasser UserScript Install: https://adsbypasser.github.io/

Adsbypasser Github: https://github.com/adsbypasseadsbypasser
Official Site: https://adsbypasser.github.io/

ViolentMonkey Firefox Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/violentmonkey/

Official site: https://violentmonkey.github.io/get-it/

TamperMonkey Firefox Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/

Official site: https://www.tampermonkey.net/

How To Install Adsbypasser

1.\ Install either ViolentMonkey or Tampermonkey by visiting their respective extension links provided above. I highly recommend installing ViolentMonkey over Tampermonkey because of it's higher compatibility with Adbypasser.
2. After installing your chosen add-on, go to https://adsbypasser.github.io/ and you will see two different install options: Install Full Edition and Install Lite Edition, the differences are as aforementioned.
3.\ After selecting your install of choice a new tab will open, revealing the userscript, should you choose to review and verify it, now is your chance.
4.\ After reviewing it, or not, simply select the Install option, or alternatively press CTRL+ENTER
And that's it! Now you've installed a pretty powerful redirect bypasser that is updated regularly. You can access your userscripts and the settings of your user script by doing the following:
ViolentMonkey & TamperMonkey: Simply select the icon of your extension, if it's not there follow the steps provided for pinning extensions to your toolbar provided in the uBlock Origin install instructions. You will then see a popup beside your browser URL section, select the gear icon (If you hover over it, it should say Dashboard or Open Dashboard) Here you can; see all your userscripts, update, edit, disable, and remove your them here.
In order to completely delete a userscript visit the dashboard/configuration. Then find the userscript you wish to delete, select the trashcan icon. In both extensions the icon is to the far right of the userscript.
This will then move the "deleted" userscript to a trash bin. On TamperMonkey it can be found by locating the trash bin icon on the top-right side of the screen (it should also say Trash Bin when you hover over it), once located select it. Here you will be given the choice to Restore or Delete the userscript. Select Delete if you wish to remove it completely, or Restore if you accidentally deleted it.
The same applies to ViolentMonkey, delete the userscript then locate the `Recycle Bin on the bottom left side of the screen. Select it, on the far right of the deleted user scripts should be a trash bin icon and a curved arrow pointing to the left. The trash can icon will delete the userscript whereas the curved arrow will restore it.
The following extension is for my fanlation Light Novel homies out there.

WebToEpub

WebToEpub Firefox Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webtoepub-for-baka-tsuki/

Github: https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub
Wiki: https://github.com/dteviot/WebToEpub/wiki
FAQ: https://dteviot.github.io/Projects/webToEpub_FAQ.html

WebToEpub converts novels on a variety of sites to EPUB, it took me longer than I'd like to admit to get it working properly. So, for those like me here's how to do it.
1. Find the novel you want to read and go to the chapter list.
2. You can either copy and paste the link into the extension via an empty tab or you can simply click on the extension itself and it will take you to the EPUB conversion page.

NOTE: If you see an error saying "Access Denied (403) error. etc etc" Just click OK, then when it pops up again, just click OK again. In the Error prompt that will show up just click Cancel, then OK. Alternatively you can click on the "Don't allow website to prompt you again", that you you save two clicks worth of time.

3. Select the chapters you wish to convert.

(Optional): Select Advanced Options overview the settings you would like for the converted epub. There are a lot of options, go through them carefully and choose what suits you best. Some websites will not let you download at all unless you throttle the download. You can do so via the Manual ThrottleDelay per chapter option.
(Optional but highly recommended) Also, you can have it save automatically without a prompt by enabling Don't popup 'SaveAs' dialog when save Epub

4. Select Pack EPUB

(Optional): Add to Library, This is optional but I highly recommend this for ongoing releases as you can simply repack a new EPUB everytime a chapter is out or auto-add it using the Advanced Library settings.

Sorry for the block of text and seemingly all over the place nature of this post I just want people to be able to transition from Chrome to Firefox comfortably as well as recommend some extensions I think are neat.
That's all I've got for now, and again, if anyone has any extensions (and maybe guides for them), that they'd like me to add to this post just comment or DM me!

Happy Sailing!🏴‍☠️⛵🏴‍☠️

Edit:

(hopefully) Fixed number lists by inserting a \ between the number and the period. Also fixed some grammar, formatted/adjusted certain sections for better visibility, as well as added a link to the DNS resolvers suggested by the Official Wiki of the sub. I also added a simple-to-follow guide for installing Adbypasser via TampeMonkey or ViolentMonkey, as well as how to; view, delete, and restore user scripts.

2023.12.24 08:26 TheRealSoomon newly created account banned, no information, no support??

[SOLVED] see bottom of the post.
hello,

I created a new IG account. I do have several, although I dont use the others for posting.
now I wanted to create one that I'd actually post vacation pictures on. Right after email confirmation, the account got banned, citing community guidelines.
Whenever I login I get the IG account page, blocked by a popup that says "Review and agree: You are all set".
This is the URL I end up at: https://www.instagram.com/terms/unblock/?next=%2Fapi%2Fv1%2Fweb%2Ffxcal%2Fig_sso_users%2F
The account name is a normal account name. nothing sexist, racist or critical.There was an !appeal" button, so I pressed it. But I dont even know what the issue is and they dont tell me.I tried getting support from IG, but they seem to intentionally send people in circles. Does anybody know what is going on here, how to get support from actual people at IG?
thank you!

Update:
According to this form: https://help.instagram.com/contact/606967319425038My account is not being blocked.

But when I login I get this:

I tried several different browsers, it does not work

Update 2: Logging into IG on my phone did the trick. i was able to accept the terms and then use it on desktop. what a mess.

2023.09.15 01:46 Rustledmoose WeChat annoyances with payments.

I'm back from a trip from China and want to vent and warn others about dealing with WeChat payments in case you find yourself in this situation. As most of you and others can easily find out, WeChat and Alipay are pretty much required at this point to pay for things.
I have had WeChat for years and added my US Visa card to WeChat before we arrived. The first time I attempted to pay for something with it, I was prompted I have to submit a bunch of verification data including name, address, phone number, a photo of my ID/Passport, and a photo of face (goodbye privacy). I do so and a couple of days later I am able to pay with WeChat. All good... or so I thought.
A few days later I try to purchase something and I get this popup. Clicking view solution didn't actually provide a form to submit any sort of verification to fix it. Luckily the person I was with spoke Chinese and contacted some sort of WeChat helpline and they guided them to submit a request to unblock my account.
Two days later, I am able to pay again. At this point I thought all was well, but then a few days later I start getting the same popup. I added a different credit card I have and still was getting the same error. It didn't always happen and I couldn't find a pattern if it was certain vendors or a threshold for a specific amount. Again I request unblock and I get confirmation that it is unblocked again. Then again... a few days later I am blocked again...
With the multitude of hassles tourists have to go through, I don't see how hamstringing them further with these WeChat shenanigans are helping matters. Yes, I know about the Alipay Shanghai bank card thing, but if WeChat is going to offer a payment method for foreigners, then it should work reliably.
Rant over I suppose.

2023.03.23 11:34 chaoscommander23 How to get GUI unblock functionality back?

There used to be a column in the popup GUI in which you could manually set specific scripts to green (don't block) or red (block). It disappeared. I can't find a setting to bring it back, which ruins my experience. I regularly encounter websites whose functionality gets blocked by uBlock and used to be able to just add an exception for the missing scripts by clicking the "green button". How do I get this "click to unblock" feature back? I have activated the advanced user interface, which used to solve my problem, but apparently it doesn't anymore.

2023.01.28 19:54 muhaos94 Feature suggestion: What would you think of a system in the game where you can "block" players, which would stop them from being put into the same team as you in the future?

Let me start off by saying that I fully understand Riot would never implement something like this, but I've been thinking of this system for a bit and wanted to hear others' opinions. Also, in this post I will be referring to this as block, not to be confused with the actual "block" that mutes communications.
In my mind, the way it would work is that in the post-game lobby next to the report and other buttons there would also be a "block" button, which after clicking would result in you never being put into the same team as this player. This way you will need to have played a game with someone before being able to block them. Before blocking someone, you would also get a warning that blocking an excessive number of players could result in significantly longer queues. Then, if you wanted to unblock someone, you could go to a list of blocked players in your profile or something similar.
This system would mainly make a difference in high elo, so high diamond and diamond+, as there are enough players in lower ranks to basically never be matched up with the same people anyway.
The higher rank you go, the easier it is to ruin games and the more indistinguishable it becomes whether someone made a bad call or is genuinely griefing. The reason for such a system to exist is to essentially take care of people who soft-int games, since they are not detectable by Riot's ban system. I personally believe that this could greatly increase the quality of games in high elo as essentially people who don't play to win will not be able to find games.

The first concern I thought of, is that queue times would greatly increase for players using this feature. However, blocking someone is completely voluntary and reversible at any time, you agree to longer queue times when doing it. I believe that if such a feature were introduced, it would be abused by everyone at the start but when most people see the 60-120 minute waiting times they would start unblocking players and save this function for the ones that truly ruin games.
The second concern is that players who are mass blocked will be unable to find games. This is also true but as I've said this system is only relevant in high elo games, because of this, I assume that players will save blocks for others that they really don't want to play with. If you are a player with whom many others do not want to play, then that might call for some self-reflection.
You will always have the players who just block everyone after a salty loss, but this system is self-correcting. When players realise, they cannot get games, they will start unblocking others.

There are also some extensions that could be implemented to make this system better:

The blocking must be mutual. After you block someone, they will get a popup that they were blocked by you and can choose to confirm or deny this. If we want to disincentivize blocking, then we can get rid of the popup thus blocking will only happen if both players click the block button on their own volition.
Blocks will expire after a while. Blocking someone will only result in not being matched together for a certain period, e.g., 2 weeks, a month, etc.
A rank requirement for blocking. Therefore, this feature would only be available from a certain rank e.g., master+. I don't think this would make a large difference, as the system would only be relevant in high elo either way. Also, someone ruining a game in silver is much more detectable by the automated ban system than in challenger.
Extending the system to include opponents as well. If you saw someone ruining the game for the other team, you can choose to block them.
Extending the system so you don't need to play a game with someone before blocking them. This would greatly increase the number of blocks, but players would be able to prevent the first game being ruined by notorious griefers.

Personally, I think that there is a strong argument to be made, for at least the mutual blocking option but obviously with the introduction of anonymous champ select, we are moving away from this direction.
Also because blocking comes at a cost (in high elo) - having longer queues, players would not use it as freely as the report button. This could result in Riot being able to manually investigate players who were mass blocked.
I am very curious to hear what others here are thinking about this. Whether the system is a good or a bad idea or how they would implement it.

2023.01.02 01:32 gnome_idea_what Why doesn't unblocking free up space in my blocklist?

I apparently hit the 1k blocked users cap at some point and still keep coming across people I want to block. So I went into the "blocked users" tab in the app (which seems to be the only way to access the list of blocked users, since desktop newreddit doesn't give you a list at all and desktop oldreddit 504s when I click on the blocklist tab in settings), found some accounts that went inactive after I blocked them, and unblocked them to clear up some space. I refreshed the app to make sure the unblocking went through, and they did. So I go back to block the user I want to block, and it still gives me the "you can't block more than 1000 users" popup.
Is this a bug? Do I need to wait for some server to log the change? Am I just fucked? Is there a third-party tool to bypass the cap on how many people you can block?

2022.12.09 13:12 aaspider Week 53 Update Info - One Year of Icarus & Data Decentralization

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1149460/view/3611354355089820956
Icarus Week Fifty Three Update One Year of Icarus & Data Decentralization
Data Decentralization is here along with our Dedicated Servers Beta. Plus we look back on 52 weeks of updates.
Happy One Year Anniversary! Today marks a year since the launch of Icarus and the 52 updates we’ve made to the game every single week since. We’re excited to celebrate it by giving power back to the players with our player data decentralization patch.
This week, all data will be migrated to players' local computers, shifting away from a reliance on cloud providers, allowing some new features and ensuring the player community can own their game data permanently. This opens the door for many more features and changes, including characters now being able to be used across multiple sessions simultaneously, the new Orbital Exchange Interface for Exotic extraction, and our Dedicated Servers Beta.
This is a big update and will require a full data migration upon launch of the patch, so have a read through all the details below.
Once you’re briefed on the changes, we’ve included a reflection on 52 weekly updates to Icarus, including a word from our game runner, Rocket, on this incredible journey and what’s to come.
Data Decentralization & Migration This week, we are releasing the highly anticipated data decentralization change.
This is a large update, requiring a migration process that will occur the first time you log in after the patch. However, for many players, it may not change how you play Icarus at all. None of your data, characters or gear will be lost - we’re moving where it is stored.
Going forward, all player data will be stored locally - on your PC. Previously, save files and player data were saved in the cloud, while everything else (including your Outposts and Open World games) was saved locally. Now, all data will be saved locally, shifting data ownership to the players, and moving away from the ‘game-as-a-service’ model which can leave us open to internet outages and can limit customization.
We see this move as putting the power back in the players' hands, giving them true ownership of the product. While this comes with some concessions, it’s a truer representation of the relationship we want to build between ourselves and the players, where you own what you buy without strings attached.
Migration will combine your offline and online characters and account data into a single entity. This includes loadouts, inventories, exotics, ren and skill refund tokens. It will also combine your mission progress and workshop talents, so players who have played both Offline and Online will see a much more saturated environment and may want to spend some time organizing their account.
All currently active Missions will be reset and not migrated over, and current progress on these missions will be lost. Characters and gear will not be lost. Characters and loadouts will be returned to your select screen, but you will have to restart any prospects you are currently in.
We have added a new branch on Steam called ‘Centralized’ which will hold the last 1.2.27 Update in case players want to bring their characters out of missions etc. This will not be present forever and will be removed in the following weeks.
This migration will also migrate over your Open World and Outpost sessions, but will reset and remove your characters from these missions in the process. You’ll find your characters and their loadouts in the character select screen, and can rejoin game via their dropship.
Steam Cloud has been enabled for Icarus, so if you have multiple computers on which you play Icarus, make sure you migrate on your preferred machine first (the one with the most up-to-date Outpost and/or Open World content). Steam should then sync it to your other machines.
We very much see this patch as providing players ownership over their own data and enabling everyone to play without having to have access to our servers. To enable this we had to make some concessions on various gameplay elements but it also allows us to explore new options and provide new levels of customization and persistence that have not been available before. It has been a massive effort from the team to pull this through and they have done a fantastic job. I want to thank everyone who has been with us over the last year providing feedback, enjoying the game and being patient throughout the issues we have had and hope you will join us for the next year as we continue to develop Icarus.
Jake Dodunski, Project Lead
A Multiplayer Hosting Change
Icarus will continue to have the peer-to-peer multiplayer it has always had, where one player acts as the host for their Steam friends - but with one change. That original host must always be online.
From now on the player who initially created the mission will be the only one able to resume it. Other players will not be able to carry on or launch a mission that another player has started, as this save data is now stored on the initial host’s hard drive rather than in the cloud. This is the same way that Outposts and Open World have functioned since their launch, so that experience won’t be entirely foreign to many of you.
It’s important to note that the host should always be the last person to leave a prospect. This way, players are guaranteed to be able to recover their gear and claim any rewards/exotics as they will be unable to launch the mission later (however, we now grant rewards immediately during missions to help).
If you want a way to play anytime regardless of where the original host is, then we’ve introduced Dedicated Servers to cater for you (see below).
Previously, Icarus had a very helpful feature that migrated the hosting between players when the original host left the game. While this feature won’t exist in the new data decentralized model, there is still a way to manually share saves with each other so you can continue someone else’s prospect while they aren’t online. You can find your saves in your file explorer at:
C:\ > Users > (your profile) > AppData > Local > Icarus > Saved > PlayerData > (your Steam ID) > Prospects
or
%LocalAppData%/Icarus/Saved/PlayerData/[SteamId]/Prospect
Steam ID with your 17 digit number, read more from Valve about how to locate this
From here, you can share them with your friends, but be aware that once a file has been activated, you’ll need to have the most recent version shared back to you to be able to continue it where they left off.
Gameplay Changes
Alongside this change, there are a few new features that provide a more seamless experience and take advantage of the new localised data: * The new Orbital Exchange Interface is a planetary-crafted deployable that when activated, allows you to call a drop ship down to extract your exotics up to the space station. This means you no longer need to take them up in your dropship with you on completion of your prospect. * Mission rewards are now granted immediately on completion of the mission, rather than sent to your inbox in orbit. * Characters are no longer ‘locked’ to one Mission or session and can be used on multiple active sessions simultaneously. You can select any character from the character select screen for any session at any time. * Insurance now only insures your items, as characters can’t be lost on prospects. If you do not bring your items up with you in a dropship, they stay on planet until returned. If you have insurance, you can reclaim your items after 5 real-time days from the menu. * Workshop items are no longer ‘auto-repaired’ when you return them to space. You will now have the option to repair them for 10 ren in the inventory, or on the surface using the new Tier 3 repair bench.
Dedicated Servers Beta
Decentralization opens the door for Dedicated Servers, which we are launching in Beta today.
Dedicated Servers let you host your own Icarus server to play with friends. You can control access, timing, hardware and in future customize your settings.
It is a new way to play Icarus multiplayer, but is not compulsory. You can still continue to play Icarus multiplayer without a dedicated server as described above.
If you are interested in setting up and running your own (beta) Icarus dedicated server, you can access our setup guide on github here. We will be partnering with a range of dedicated server providers to offer rental servers, so stay posted for news and info on who these are.
This application is still in Beta, so we imagine we’ll have some teething issues as we work through scaling this up to full capacity. To support this, we have a special discord channel #dedicated-server-beta where you can engage directly with our team on any issues that arise. Click here to join.
52 Weeks of Updates
After releasing Icarus back in December 2021, we quickly shifted our attention to how we could keep innovating, improving and adding to the game. Weekly updates became our approach, focusing on consistently improving and optimizing the base game while expanding the playable content and adding new ways to play to provide an experience regardless of how you enjoyed Icarus.
During this time we’ve released some big updates, small ones and everything in between. Some of our more memorable updates included:

Adding insurance to prospects in Week Six so players could test harder missions without fear of losing their characters
Adding Deep Ore Deposits in Week Ten for late-game valuable resource sourcing
Adding Talent Respec in Week Thirteen, allowing players to rebuild their characters as they unlock new skills
Changing the real-life timer to an in-game timer in Week Seventeen
Adding World Bosses in Week Twenty Three
Adding the Styx Map and Missions Pack in Week Twenty Five
Adding Horde Mode in Week Twenty Nine
Adding the Moa and Buffalo Mounts in Week Forty Two
Adding Open World in Week Forty Seven, a full persistent survival experience
Changed to a bigger, bolder Icarus logo

Looking back, the work we’ve done has been quite the journey. The Icarus we launched was a different game than it is now. We’ve tripled the available missions, added an entire second map, new game modes, new dynamic features, new deployables, craftables and fixed thousands of bugs in this time. In this time, our players have invested over 34 million hours in-game, a number that still blows us away to this day.
One Year of Icarus
Releasing ICARUS has been the studio's coming of age. As I've mentioned before the Beta weekends last year, prior to our release, were a mixed blessing. On one hand, it demonstrated a significant ground of players eager for our content - but it also outlined problems with both the concept as well as the game itself.
Most of all, the beta weekends crystalized what the game needed to be very effectively, helping end any uncertainty about what the game needed to be on the development front. You can think of the beta weekends as lighting a fuse on an explosive, it could only last a finite time before it needed to end. Our studio has a long and strong history of not crunching our project, but short iteration cycles during the beta week was exhausting for our team. Not to mention outages out of hours placed additional pressure.
The launch proper was rocky as well because we had made so many changes in the final beta weekend that it had become impossible within that last week to properly test the breadth of the changes in the game in a 'real' environment with large players. That came with the launch. After such a rocky launch we focused on two things:

A detailed after action (lessons learned) process to identify what to change in the studio across all aspects
Committing to a set content cadence to build trust with the community, internally we agreed this would be an update each week, every week, with not a single week missed including holidays.

It was really hard, but I'm really proud to say the team did both of those and done so with aplomb. The initial weeks were hard as the team scoped as much as possible into every update, but eventually we learned to keep the scope measured and portion out the work in smaller, more manageable, and consistent ways. We changed our build processes to bring the builds out earlier, and worked with our fantastic community members (particularly on discord), who would give excellent feedback. This feedback extended far beyond traditional testing - providing real "boots on the ground" information around balance.
Each weekend we would be fortunate to see a number of content creators who stuck with the project from the start. Most of them I would say have at times (and continue to be) quite critical of the project. This has played a very important role in the game getting to where it is today. They've asked tough questions, and pointed out our mistakes or missteps. This has helped the team and studio to grow.
This update brings us to the point we move away from that traditional "game as a service" or "live service" model. When we first announced this there was some pushback and concern, I hope we have done well at explaining why this is important for the longevity for the game. We do not want the game to be reliant on the studio. As a game creator I think the best outcome for me would be if people continue playing the games I make for long after I am not there to work on them. This is an important step on that path.
The addition of dedicated servers, and the decentralization of the data, also also the community to do further work to pull the game a part and make mods and conversions for the game. They allow our team to make changes that were impossible before. They provide resilience - removing the requirement to support a complex (and expensive) back end.
I know we haven't always done the right things, and we haven't always been as fast as you (or we!) would like at fixing these mistakes - but we thank you for being here with us nevertheless. We're excited for the future of ICARUS. I hope you are as proud of the team as I am. It's been a heck of a twelve months, and their work on the game is a testament to their resilience. We watch your videos. We read your reviews. We look at your posts. We talk with you on the discord. Together, I'm confident we've reached a point we can really build ICARUS into a game we all want.

2022.10.14 20:50 modemman11 Reddit sucks. So many bugs, poor design choices, dumb policies, etc.

I know, I probably forgot stuff, and list isn't as up to date as I'd like it to be.
New Reddit:

Caching is messed up. Frequently I'll know someone replied to a post 5+ minutes ago, I'll go there, and won't see it until I manually refresh. Also when sorting by New, I won't see posts that I know exist, even after refreshing.
Profile overview tab is missing comments, whereas the comments tab shows them.
Sometimes when I change tabs on my profile, it changes to someone else's profile that I was viewing a moment ago.
~~Opening a post opens it in a popup, but if I have a post open in the popup, then click my profile to open the profile menu, the menu opens behind the popup, so I can't click anything.~~
Down arrow on the scroll bar does not exist when viewing posts in this popup.
If someone posts multiple images in portrait orientation, scrolling left/right only lets you see the top half of the image. You have to click to open the image, close that tab, scroll right, click to open, close, scroll right, click to open, and so on.
Karma keeps jumping around to random values, sometimes saying 0 karma, then jumping to your real value, then anywhere in between.
Reddit tenure badge changes to random values.
The notifications of post/comment replies don't appear in the bell icon when they happen if you are browsing the site. You have to manually refresh the page yourself.
Clicking the button to mark all notifications as read doesn't mark them as read. After refreshing they are unread again.
Typing stuff into a post/comment, then clicking elsewhere to discard the unsubmitted content pops up the usual box asking if you're sure you want to discard the unsaved changes, but regardless of answering yes or no, it still leaves the page.
Typing stuff in a post/comment, then leaving (discarding the unsubmitted content), then later coming back, still shows your previously typed content, unless you manually refresh in the meantime.
~~Both "Months" and "Minutes" are abbreviated to just the letter m, making it difficult to tell when a comment was made.~~
I get randomly opted back into New Reddit and have to repeatedly opt out.
If a user makes a post with images with subtitles, but the subtitles are lengthy, you can only see so much of the subtitles as the rest gets cut off. You can hover to see the rest of the text but come on.
Occasionally unable to report a post/comment as the next button is greyed out
Not resource friendly for oldebudget PCs
When browsing it will occasionally get stuck in an infinite loop of trying to load something and the URL banner at the bottom of the screen constantly flashes on the screen making it distracting.
When visiting a specific comment chain, if you click the view all comments button, it doesn't load the other comments and you have to reload the page a 2nd time.
When scrolling down on the feed, the posts will eventually move up and down on their own by a single pixel.
When loading a page, the "Get coins" button on the top right changes to "Free" after the page has already loaded, causing the rest of the icons up there to move around. Frequently I want to click on the notification icon but instead click on the chat icon because the icons moved around as I went to click.
Inside posts, the usernames of people that have posted/commented don't appear at first, and pop in later.
Reddit auto-hides posts when you report them. But simply browsing around the site does not visibly hide the posts so they are still shown in feeds until you manually click the refresh button in your browser.
~~After receiving a chat request, the chat icon on the top of the screen eternally has a number on it like you have an unread message, even after you've read all messages and replied to them.~~
When viewing Reddit while logged out, the home page has some popup that is about 2x2 pixels in size appear on the screen and fades out the entire page, preventing me from doing anything until I refresh the page, when the box doesn't appear.
When a user blocks you, you can still see their posts but you can't interact with it, or even read it. It just says "unavailable". I don't want to see stuff I can't read, so stop showing it to me entirely. Or better yet, just stop blocking me from seeing their content. I can just log out to see it anyway.
When you block someone and they try to view your profile, it just says "oops, nobody goes by that name". But it's still obvious they blocked you because their comments/posts just say "unavailable" so it's still easy for someone to tell when they are blocked.
Something blocks Edge's spell checker from correcting misspelled words.
When editing this post, when I click where I want to insert text and start typing, the screen scrolls up/down so my cursor is no longer on the screen, so I have to manually scroll up/down to find it to see what I'm typing.
When editing this post, the text box is occasionally too small and does not show all the text. There is no way to scroll up/down.
Can't right click on profile posts/comments to open in new tab/window.
Unblocking a user ... doesn't.
~~(Mod only) When banning a user for >30 days, it reads "X days left", where X is the number of months left.~~
(Premium/Mod only), comments are not marked as read unless you refresh the post so the post and its comments load in a standalone page, rather than the popup.
~~(Premium/Mod only?), the "sort (comments) by" drop down inside a post stretches too wide, scrunching the rest of the text to the right of it into vertical text.~~

Reddit Mobile App (Android):

If someone has an NFT avatar, viewing their profile makes the avatar take up 90% of the screen. Attempting to "pull down to refresh" is impossible given that there is not enough space for it to register I am pulling down to refresh.
Scrolling intermittently breaks and basically locks you at the top of the comment list.
Scrolling intermittently breaks and basically locks you at the middle of the comment list, trying to scroll up acts like it's at the top when it isn't, so it thinks you're trying to swipe down to refresh when you aren't.
Scrolling intermittently breaks when you just start to see the last comment, but you can't actually read the comment since it's off the screen.
You can't up/downvote some comments because the button to go to the next top-level comment is in the way.
Missing numerous features that you have to open the website for.
I keep getting notified of a popular post but upon visiting it, there are no comments and no votes.
The "## people here" overlay on the bottom of posts covers up the bottom comment preventing voting.
When going to going to a specific comment via a direct link, then clicking the "View all" button to show all the other comments, nothing happens. You have to exit back and re-enter the post though a link that does not take you directly to a specific comment. Or another weird workaround, tap the "View all" button, turn your phone screen off and back on, then pull down to refresh.
When a user blocks you, you can still see their posts but you can't interact with it, or even read it. It just says "unavailable". I don't want to see stuff I can't read, so stop showing it to me. Leads to me just blocking the person back so I stop seeing stuff I can't see. Oh wait, I can just turn my phone's screen off and back on and refresh and see the content. What a great feature that makes zero sense!
Notifications of post/comment replies is intermittent. Seems specific to the subreddit?
Tapping a video to go full screen then swiping up/down to show more has a habit of showing content several months old.
Occasionally, the play button on a post is unresponsive. You must open the post to be able to play it.
Occasionally, there's a bar of nothing just over the reply box(prior to tapping it), covering up the comments in a post.
Making a link post to a portrait image in imgur cuts off a large chunk of the top and bottom of the image.
~~After reporting a post, there's no way to close the "thanks for reporting this content" screen.~~
The bar across the bottom of the screen that includes comment count, up/downvote buttons is frequently in the middle of the screen.
~~Commenting on a post automatically upvotes the post.~~
On /popular, muting a subreddit...doesn't.
On /popular, blocking a user...doesn't.
On /popular, hiding a post...doesn't.
After receiving an Android notification, tapping it takes you to the relevant content, but the in-app notification is not marked as read.
Cannot hide a post
When swiping right to view multiple images in a single post, instead it swipes right to a new screen entirely.

Old Reddit:

~~Clicking on /random loads a "random" subreddit. But if you click it more times, it just keeps reloading the same subreddit.~~
When looking at your own profile, if you hover over the name of someone else, the tooltip that appears shows your own profile info instead of the other person's.

Reddit (as a whole):

Killed off 3rd party apps
No ability to set your profile to private. Only encourages stalking.
Fuzzy counting. Good anti-spam intentions executed poorly.
Frequent downtime.
Subreddit mods should be de-modded automatically after a certain length of inactivity. Subs should never be left without mods. If that leaves no mods left then the sub should be closed.
Subreddit mods have absolute power. They can ban you for no reason and there's no appeal process short of sending them modmail, which they can totally ignore.
I click on a link in my home feed which takes me to a different site. I click the back button in my browser, post is gone.
Pics, vids, and occasionally even award images, randomly don't load.
Pinned posts are only pinned when using default sorting (best).
Posts/comments sometimes act like they don't even exist for hours, days, or even months.
Can edit post content, but not titles.
Subreddit mods can delete a comment without saying anything and the person that made the comment is none the wiser that their comment was deleted. How are users supposed to stop bad behavior if they don't know?
When a comment is deleted by a mod, the person that made the comment still sees the content like nothing happened. If that person is a troll or being an asshole then it only encourages them because it looks like everyone else's comments are being deleted except theirs, unless the subreddit mods choose to notify the user.
When someone posts a video, Reddit makes it visible to the public immediately, even though Reddit is still processing the video. Videos should not be visible to the public until processing is complete.
Reddit native video hosting almost always reduces the quality of the video to a pixelated mess for no reason.
If you participate in a chat post, it does not appear in your history, so you have to manually dig through the subreddit to find it and read any replies.
If you block someone, then unblock them, you have to wait 24 hours (?) to reblock them.
Post archiving is a per-subreddit setting. Subs with more toxic userbases tend to turn it off and not care about trolls that insult people in year old (or more) posts.
Reddit logs you out after so many days (probably something like 30/60/90 days, not sure on exact duration), but when attempting to log back in, it does not stay logged in, and logs you out after every browser close, forcing you to clear cache/cookies to stay logged in.
Reddit spam filter lets posts go through, but then several minutes later removes them after they've been available to the public and have even gotten replies.
Spam filter will allow a post to be made public, only to silently re-delete the post hours later.
User blocking is wildly inconsistent. Sometimes you can see the posts and profile of the person that blocked you, sometimes it says "unavailable", if you try to reply sometimes you get an error, other times it just looks to disappear into oblivion, other times there's not even a reply button. Sometimes you can reply to replies of people that blocked you, sometimes you can't. Pick a method and stick with it!
Reddit by default collapses comments with a score of -5 or lower, but you can change it to lower in Old Reddit settings, but changing it back to -5 does no longer has an effect.
Getting rid of awards in favor of an actual monetary system, as if reddit doesn't have enough issues with spammers.

2022.09.05 13:06 Fit_Cheesecake_4000 Dodged A Bullet

Hey all,
Welp, I'm almost 5 months into the discard now (since the first "event" occurred). I don't feel as upset anymore but I do feel kind of lonely.
I didn't break No Contact, but I recently installed WhatsApp on my phone so I could send voice messages back and forth with a friend of mine I hadn't chatted to in awhile. I haven't used the app before, but because I've got my ex in my contacts still (under PsychtoicFuckingLoser), a week or two after I installed it I was trying to work out how to use the other features when I saw her face popup.
She had the app. She'd added a selfie she'd taken of herself on a trip we'd gone on together (not a particularly flattering one, but I won't be too mean about it). I felt a little angry but got over it quickly.
Blocked her right after.
A few days later, she'd uninstalled the app, apparently.
Then, on LinkedIn a few days back, I was searching a few companies because I'm in the market for a new job and suddenly I see her face in the search bar. I'd basically tried to block her on LinkedIn initially but I couldn't find her, so thinking she must have blocked me, I thought I was safe.
Apparently, she'd unblocked me. I can't think of any other reason that would have happened: LinkedIn accounts don't become inactive (I guess if you had a premium account and didn't pay the bill? But I presume all that happens in the subscription is cancelled but you still have regular LinkedIn) and there would have been no other way she'd suddenly have disappeared.
This girl-child attempted to firebomb our entire history (I lied to you for years, I only ever loved you less than I wanted to be in a relationship, you're holding me back etc etc.)
I cannot on any level understand why she would reach out now. And TBH the LinkedIn photo she has is of her bloated, over-weight face from being on antipsychotics, so that wasn't adding to any of the appeal (I know this is mean; at the time I loved her and didn't give a fuck about any of the weight gain, I just wanted to her).
Anyway, she's blocked now, and then I accidentally unblocked her (clicked the wrong button), and then had to wait 48 hours to reblock her.
My thinking is that in that 2 to 3 days where she was blocked, she saw I'd blocked her and stopped using the app.
This all feels incredibly childish. Why can we not trust people to just leave us alone or act with some form of character or values?

2022.04.02 12:52 lkav How we created the Tutorial

https://i.redd.it/vovjwwfyi3r81.gif
Hey Reddit,
A good Tutorial is very important for players and for the success of a game. Today we show you how we handle the Tutorial for Smelogs Playground. We decided to deactivate abilities and inputs that the player hasn’t learned yet or that would interfere with the Tutorial’s flow. New elements of the user interface (UI) get revealed one by one and explained to the player. This way, the player can ease into the gameplay and isn't overwhelmed.
We control the Tutorial with a script (Data Table). This allows us to easily edit the Tutorial and enter new text dialog. The Data Table also lets us perform events or actions and check the player's progress.

https://i.redd.it/bb58ftizi3r81.gif

Actions

We can perform Actions via the tutorial script (Data Table).

💬 Text

We work with Rich Text so that we’re able to highlight text and display input keys as images.

✨ Spawning

We can spawn units and buildings for any team at specific locations. If needed, we can also highlight them.

🏃 Movement Orders

These are used to make moveable units move in order to make the Tutorial more dynamic and resemble actual gameplay.

🎥 Camera

A camera blend to highlight or show important locations to the player.

🚧 Block Inputs

These allow us to block or unblock inputs from UI buttons or input keys.

🔘 UI

We can show or hide UI components and play animations to highlight certain areas or buttons.

🤔 Choice PopUp

These let the player choose how the Tutorial should continue.
https://i.redd.it/nwkg64u0j3r81.gif

Checks

We can do Checks via the tutorial script (Data Table). Multiple Checks can be active at once.

☑️ Selected Units

We can check for the specific number of selected units or even for a specific unit type.

✅ Input Check

We can check for specific UI or key inputs. We also added that the input we check for automatically unblocks. This allows us to have fewer script lines and avoid errors.

📍 Location Reached

There might be a certain location the player has to reach before we continue the Tutorial. This way we make sure that the player has understood the navigation and control of units and is in the right place.

💀 Actor Destroyed

This is similar to the location check. It ensures that the player has understood the combat mechanics.

⏲️ Delay and Wait for Completion

We can delay the next script line that gets executed. This is useful because some events take time to unfold. We mainly work with two options: A "delay" for a specific amount of seconds, or a "wait for completion". The latter is mainly used to make sure all the text gets displayed before new Actions get executed.

Endnotes

We split the Tutorial into categories and allow players to skip or revisit these categories.
The first version of the Tutorial is still a work in progress.
By the way: Feel free to join our Discord server, we will soon start to look for playtesters to test the Tutorial and the game :)

2022.01.19 23:04 Tilde88 How do you guys get Denuvo games to work [Epic Launcher, Ubisoft Launcher]? (Warning : Detailed/long post ahead)

Hello all. Thank you for viewing the post. Please understand, the point of this question is not for enjoyability, or how good a game is played or its performance. Hell, I would settle with just being able to launch them and interact with menu settings.
So as the title says, what configurations do you guys use to pass Denuvo checks? I have been able to run almost anything, literally, in Wine. The only thing making me add that 'almost' to the sentence, is 2 games... Both of which use Denuvo. I have tried many different configurations, new prefixes, meticulous troubleshooting, different Wine versions [vanilla and with fshacks), custom wine forks (proton, lutris, GE). I get nada. Multiple wine configurations and different wine tricks., dll overrides, etc.
One of the issues slowing my testing is that you can only attempt to activate 5x in a 24-hour period before denuvo blocks you for 24hrs. Changing wine version or wine prefix, naturally uses up another attempt. Once I get blocked by Denuvo, the game(s) no longer crash/hang, but rather i get a fully-working Windows popup saying that my game cannot be verified. This goes away after the 24hr period
Game 1 : One game is through Epic Games. I can launch and play literally any other game. I am using the official launcher within a Wine prefix, and it works flawlessly. With the exception of THPS1+2.
In Epic games, I have EOS and EAC installed. Other online games are just fine, like lets say GTAV, is what I know is on that launcher. (Even rockstar launcher is fine, but thats neither here no there). However, when it comes to THPS1+2 in Epic, the game creates the process and switches to it, but the process hangs at a black screen endlessly, I can alt+tab just fine, and see the thps12.exe window name, and then force close it. Tried dxvk 1.9.2,1.9.3, multiple wine binaries as mentioned above. Some binaries instead do nothing, and just say running, and insta-close silently.
Game 2 : The next game is through the Ubisoft launcher, which I understand that launcher itself is more of a problem in Wine, but, doesn't seem to be an issue for other online games, and the launcher runs fairly smoothly. The game in question is Trials Rising, which, of course, uses Denuvo. Its older brother Trials Rising runs flawlessly - multiplayer and all (with all DLC added - only $6 for the dlc).
I have not tried the newly-released stable 7.0 wine, but multiple RC versions. All the same. I will try stable 7.0 and see, but still need a few more hours to be unblocked >.>, and I don't expect a change.
I did see someone got THPS1+2 working with Proton 6.3, but it does not work for me. I wonder if they are using Steam launcher version.
I know Denuvo games work in linux, but is it only through steam-launcher edition games? I'm down to try anything, including patching and building Wine, just need to know where to start. Any information would be great.
Thank you.
edit : forgot to add tried both with and without other launchers installed like, Epic for EAC, with and without EAC installed, BattleEye installed (i know not relevant but still).
Update : So I got THPS1+2 in epic working. I ran the epic installer in steam, using proton 6.21-2ge, since i believe this was the first wine with some anti cheat or something. then changed the exe in steam to open the epic launcher... from there, installed thps. worked. ill play around with this version binary and see what i see. im happy :) hope it helps someone.
Final update : Trials Rising will not work until trials rising is updated to use EOS-enabled EAC. Which may not happen, unless redlynx and ubisoft decide to upgrade the game.... >.> - that or epic allows non-EOS EAC in wine/proton... the issue was anti-cheat, not Denuvo.

2021.04.22 18:09 TheSaddestSquonk Meet Trixie

Disclaimer: Not that I think anyone will care to do so, but just in case, I do not give permission for this post to be cross-posted, read out loud, reenacted, or shared in any way, on any other forum or site.
Hello All - I originally began posting about Trixie in workingmoms - but I think the posts must have been too story-ish, or maybe inappropriate b/c it has a mild curse or two? Not sure, and the mods never deigned to message me back, so I'm going to see if y'all are more interested.
This is a rant, a LONG rant, because I'm really frustrated and I need a place to post stories about the current bane of my existence (Trixie) where I can change a few key details, and, hopefully, stay anonymous. Plus, moaning to sympathetic strangers will, in the end, be far better than saying these words aloud to any of my colleagues, who are, after all, basically the ones I'm complaining about. I don't need or want any advice (though I would LOVE to hear you vent your frustrations too!), I'm just venting because I'm frustrated - I really do love my job, and worked HARD to get here, but sometimes, man, sometimes...
So I work in a role where I manage a Professional Development-type program for other professionals with my credentials. We must all have doctorates and a minimum of 12-15 years of experience to be what we are. Think, like, lawyers or doctors (it's not either of those things, but that's the ballpark of time, education, and credentialing needed to be called an "official one" of what we are.) I say all this not to toot any horns, but rather to make the point that pretty much everyone involved in my job is a middle-aged professional with too much school and a lot of work experience under our belts. It SHOULD mean that we're all capable of being organized adults with a decent grasp on modern technology, but of course, it doesn't. One of my learners is particularly getting under my skin this year.
Let's call her Trixie. I have actually created this account specifically to post stories and vent about Trixie. I've never met a person like her, and she leaves me bewildered.
We've got about 100 learners in a course that takes roughly 15 months to complete. The course has live components (all done on Zoom for now), on-line, self-paced components, homework assignments, and evaluations for all live sessions. Aside from building this program, fundraising for this program, staffing the committee of the professionals who advise for this program, choosing competencies and faculty, and overseeing the creation and upkeep of the online components, I spend maybe about 8 hours per week responding to emails from the learners. Typically, in these emails, I'm talking to them about individual challenges they're facing at work or with the program, working out logistical challenges, and generally coordinating between them and our faculty when needed.
And then there's Trixie. This year, I have been forced to devote, at a minimum, 1 full day per week to this woman.
Trixie does a lot of frustrating things, but today, I'm here to vent about the emails. Dear, sweet, baby Jesus, save me from the emails.
You see, Trixie likes to email my staff, my boss, and myself constantly with separate emails to each of us (5 people in total) about the same technical problems - always related to the fact that she is functionally computer illiterate (Woman! How did you complete a goddamn dissertation in the last 20 years?!!? Seriously, she can barely open Word without a step-by-step tutorial with pictures and arrows.) but always worded like it's an issue from our end. Like "SOS - Document X is Corrupted!" or "Can't access the evaluation! Is the link broken?" and once, memorably, "I Think Your Organization's Learning Center has Been HACKED!!!!!"
Actual Translation?
SOS - Document Y is Corrupted! = Her son updated her computer security settings so that she actually has to open her downloads folder, right-click on any file she downloads, go to "properties" and click "unblock" before it will open. I can only assume her son did this out of sheer self defense because her computer illiteracy has led to countless downloads of viruses and spyware. If she tries to open a document before deliberately unblocking it, she will get an error message. Then she will send separate emails to me, my staff, and my boss. At this point in the year, they will all just fwd them to me, because we are all now fully aware of the situation, but in the beginning, we all wasted a bunch of time answering the same question before we realized in a staff meeting that we were all receiving duplicate emails from her. My boss was not amused to be bothered by this, to say the least.
"Can't access the evaluation! Is the link broken?" = Rather than clicking on the link to the eval, which is posted in the learning center right under the heading "Link to session X evaluation," or clicking on the link I sent directly to her in the reminder email about the eval, or even clicking on the link that pops up automatically once they complete the module we are asking them to evaluate, Trixie repeatedly only clicks on the miniscule link to the FAQ page, which is part of my email signature. She has, not once, not twice, but thrice attempted to complete the image of an example evaluation that is a part of our FAQ. It's literally just a picture, pasted onto a web page, with circles and arrows demonstrating how to click "next" after filling in an answer. She is always embarrassed and self-deprecating about this error, but SHE NEVER LEARNS. Inevitably, after the next module on Friday, I will wake up to an urgent email from her (plus all the duplicate emails fwd'd to me by my staff), asking if the link to the eval is broken.
"I Think Your Organization's Learning Center has Been HACKED!!!!!" = Trixie somehow managed to circumvent her son and disable the popup blocker on her device. While she was completing one of our online modules on one screen, and browsing the internet on another screen, she inevitably got this scam pop up ad and panicked. The fun part is, she sent this panicked email about nefarious Russian hackers to me, my boss (of course), the head of my company's IT department (she got his email address from the website, I think), and my CEO (no clue how she got his email). So, at this point, you may well be asking yourself, "How would such a computer illiterate person A) disable their popup blocker, and B) manage to find the fairly well-hidden emails to a couple members of a large company's C-Suite?" Well, that's a damn fine question, and I'm asking it myself. She can't figure out how to click on the link to a GeeDee eval, but she can figure out how to contact my CEO? Her panicked email was well-written, as you would imagine, coming from such a distinguished professional, and if you just read the email without knowing Trixie, it sounded like it might actually be a concern. Sadly, I never thought to alert my boss to the email when it came in, because it was just another crazy Trixie-issue, and my boss, in turn, had no reason to bring this up with the CEO, because why the hell would she? Who could assume that Trixie would figure out how to contact the CEO, and then randomly do so? Well, she did, and it triggered a big meeting "to assess security" and "get to the bottom of a serious, user-identified, potential breach" which made me, my boss, and the IT Director all look foolish. My boss and I tried to explain the level of absurdity, but noone on the executive team truly believed the foolishness we told them Trixie is capable of. The IT Director ended up calling Trixie directly and remoting in to her device - that's how he discovered what actually happened.
It's all okay now - my CEO will even occasionally send me an IM asking about his good ol' pal Trixie, but God, it was so embarrassing at the time.
So, that's my Trixie rant for today. I have so many stories built up - if anyone likes this one, I'll share more. I have a really fun one about Trixie learning to tweet that I would LOVE to share.

2020.11.13 16:24 mao1756 How to use Chinese TPOs (KMF)

Use here for discussion

I have recently discovered this useful website, KMF's Chinese TPOs. It offers free 51 official ETS practice tests and even offers real Speachrater and E-rater that are used to score the real TOEFL tests for very cheap prices (5CNY/use for S, 2CNY/use for W). While this is very useful, there are many impediments if you want to use it outside of China.
Let me explain how to use it. I recommend you to use your computer rather than your mobile devices since I mostly use a PC for the explanation below.
Step 1: KMF-Unblock
You may have seen this screen if you have accessed the website.
Aw snap.
This says that you cannot use the website outside of China. Don't worry, there is a way to go through this block.
The method is KMF-Unblock. By just installing the browser extension, that notice will go away like magic. (Well, at least for me and my several friends. If it didn't work, you may want to use VPNs.)
If you prefer using Firefox, you can use this extension.
Now you should be able to see their practice tests.
If you just want to use their practice tests section by section, then you are already done here. But if you want to take entire practice tests, or use SpeechRater or E-rater to grade your Speaking or Writing work, you need to register to the website.
Step 2:Registration
Firstly, go to https://toefl.kmf.com/ and click 登录(means registration) at the top right of the page. You will see the screen below.
Registration Window
Enter your phone number into the text box at the top, and then click 获取验证码. The PIN number will be sent to your phone by SMS. If you don't see your country code, please see the comment below.
Enter the PIN to the second form and click 注册/登录. You will then be asked to register a username or a password you can use to login(Sorry, failed to take a picture of it). You don't need to enter anything as you can just log in by your phone number. After that, you will see the main page of KMF.

Registration Done
Step 3: Setting up TourPass
Payment on a Chinese website is very tricky if you are outside of China. Basically, you need to use a TourPass feature of Alipay.
Since I only have an iPhone, I will use it for the explanation.
Firstly, install the Alipay app on your phone. For iOS, For Android. If you launch the app for the first time, you will probably be asked whether you want to use an international version of it or not. I don't know if it matters, but I am using the international version.
After that, follow this guide and set up the TourPass. You will need your passport to complete it. If you don't have it, please get it first. You will then see this.

TourPass Main Page
You need to register the "Payment Code" to be able to use it. It is just a 6-digit number password you will be asked when you want to buy something.
If you want to add balance, tap "TOP UP".
After that, you are done with the setup.
Step 4: SpeechRater
Now the most important part. The procedure is exactly the same for Writing so I will only write about Speaking.
Firstly, go to https://toefl.kmf.com/speak/ets/new-orde0. You will probably be asked to fill in a survey if you have accessed the website for the first time after registration. Use the translation feature of your browser and fill it in.
After the survey, you will be sent somewhere so go back to the page above.
You should see this page now.
Speaking Section of KMF
Now, choose a task you want to do, and click the 在线做题 button. You will see this.
Get Ready
Click 在电脑录音做题.
Mic Test
Here, you can test your microphone. Click the blue button to record. If you are done with testing, click 开始做题 and the task will begin.
After finishing the task, you will see this screen.
Finished
You can check your recording by clicking 播放录音, and if you think you messed up, you can record again by clicking 重新录音. However, those features do not exist in real TOEFL so I don't recommend using them.
If you are done, click "CONTINUE".
Result Screen

To use the SpeechRater, click开始 SpeechRater™ 评分.
If you have done your task for the first time, you have a free trial of SpeechRater.
How generous.
If you have used your free trial, you will see the screen below.

Now I need to pay.
Click the blue button at the bottom to pay. You will then see this.
Payment Screen
Click the button at the bottom. Now you will see this.
Payment Method
Make sure you are choosing Alipay and press the blue button. You will then get a popup and see this.
Alipay Payment
Now open your TourPass, and tap "Scan-to-Pay". Then scan the QR code. And now pay for it.
After a few seconds, you will see this.

Payment Done
Now click the button at the right, which says "use it now". After that, you will be redirected to the main page of KMF and the grading will start.
The grading will take a few minutes. If the grading is done, you will see the notification at the top right of the screen.
Notification

Click 详情 and you will see your grade.
I know it isn't great...
19-23分 here shows the estimated score of your work.
Clicking 查看报告 will give you a detailed report.
The Detailed Report
Click ETS英文原版报告 and you will see the English version of the report.
Now you have completed all of the steps to use SpeechRater. Congrats!
If you have any questions, please tell me.

2020.09.05 05:11 BoDiddley7 Match is blocking users from sending messages unless

you fill out the damn "topics" section of your profile. (i.e., "if you found yourself surrounded by zombies, how would you react?" or "beach or mountains?"). Even if you're in the middle of a conversation, they will prevent you from continuing that conversation. It just happened to me. They will have a popup that says something along the lines of "woop woop: so-and-so can’t see you until you have a Topic. Add one now to spark a conversation." And even better, you have to wait until they *approve your responses* before you can resume any convo.
So, of course like any busy person I give filler answers, somewhat sarcastically, just so I can unblock my conversations. (note: as a red-blooded hetero male I'm not going to necessarily have the answers for seemingly silly questions off the top of my head. This is going to require at least a few minutes.) And what happens? The person I am messaging just happens to view my profile again, doesn't like the tone of my "topic" responses, and doesn't respond. Well Match, gee did it occur to you that if you want people to answer these questions in the manner that you want, that maybe FORCING it on people is the wrong approach? What you'll get, at best, is FORCED ANSWERS.
Amateurs. Do better, Match.

2020.05.04 16:01 todo_done Open beta - Tobidun: A simple task management app

Edit 1: The Play Store will display a label "Contains ads", read on what it actually means:
I also don't like the ads, but I have no choice but to put a label that it contains add since it does/ will have a sponsored content via patreon.
HOWEVER, the ads are not displayed anywhere except in the "Made Possible By" section of the app. The support can come via patreon and in return the names will be placed there.
There are NO AD BANNERS anywhere. That section does not affect the functionally of the app in any form.
If you wish to support an app, you may do so via via patreon (subscribtion) or paypal (one time, any amount you feel comfortable with)
Hopes it helps and you will keep using it.

2019.06.21 01:31 Sorrow-san uBlock Origin Filter Fixes

Last Update: 11/3/2020 @ 3:41PM EDT

Note: I need to add Vidstream's filters here, been busy.

Notices:

NEW 11/3/2020 @ 3:39PM EDT:
Updated filters to remove mentions of Mp4Upload.

NEW 9/28/2020 @ 5:36PM EDT:
Overhauled the manual filters list, updated, and added more AdGuard scriplets you can use.

Before you do anything, read this:

If you use the "easiest fix" you don't require any of the other information here. It'll automatically update whenever I push out a fix for a new problem that cropped up and it already contains the filters listed here.
Most of this page is just written so people understand what's going into this work as well as what the filters inside this list are doing.

The easiest PC fix:

Thanks to SheepKid12's giving me the push I needed, I've created a list which can maintain the filters for you and will update them when I push a new fix or update without needing user interaction.

To use this:

open up uBlock's settings tab. (click the UB shield, then the far-right button where it says "open dashboard).
Navigate to Filter lists
Scroll to the bottom, click the "Import..." button.
Add the line listed, below.
Click "Apply Changes" and you're done.

Which to use:
The easy-list now comes in two flavors, one with banner ads and one without! Granted, I can't be sure how long this will work for until the other filter-lists get their grubby little paws into these changes and require me to make more drastic changes. Either way, for now, this makes things a lot easier to show support for 9Anime!

What to import:
Allow 9Anime's Banner Ads (Support us!) & Fix other site issues!:

https://gitlab.com/Sorrow-San/9anime-adblock-filters/raw/master_with_banners/9Anime%20filter%20list

Block 9Anime's Banner Ads (I'm giving you the option) & Fix other site issues!:

https://gitlab.com/Sorrow-San/9anime-adblock-filters/raw/maste9Anime%20filter%20list

What it should look like:
https://i.imgur.com/3oFgQAr.png

Notice: If you use AdGuard plus or other Easylist compatible adblockers, you can use the filter list below instead. It won't 100% supported, however, I'll try to keep it as feature-complete as possible.

https://gitlab.com/Sorrow-San/9anime-adblock-filters/raw/master_EasyListFormat/9Anime%20filter%20list.txt

Mobile device Fix

Are you a mobile device user? Do you suffer being unable to watch 9Anime on your phone due to all the advertisements and redirects? Worry no more!

So, it turns out that AdGuard now supports advanced filters on mobile devices and as such I've taken the liberty to modify my existing filters to be supported.

https://gitlab.com/Sorrow-San/9anime-adblock-filters/raw/AdGuard_filter_list/9Anime_filter_list

You can just copy & paste the filters listed INSIDE the link above (or through clicking here) into AdGuard's personal filters list, and it should all work.

It's also recommended you enable "Easy List" in the filters section when using these filters.

Please note: Certain advertisements from the different video servers will get through due to the lack of proper java scriptlet injection on mobile devices. However, your experience should be a far-cry better when using these filters.

Filters that Fix:

9Anime

Fix 1: For general issues that may crop up on 9Anime from time to time as a result of improperly configured filters. (Login may break without these)

@@9anime.*$~third-party,domain=9anime.to9anime.tv9anime.live9anime.life9anime.love9anime.one9anime.page9anime.ru9anime.video9anime.app9anime.at9anime.bar9anime.zone9anime.cz9anime.pw

Fix 2: For CSS not loading properly. (White screen with just text)

@@static.9anime.*$domain=9anime.to9anime.tv9anime.live9anime.life9anime.love9anime.one9anime.page9anime.ru9anime.video9anime.app9anime.at9anime.bar9anime.zone9anime.cz9anime.pw

Fix 3: For Some Google services that run portions of the site, like the Captcha

@@google.com/recaptcha/*$domain=9anime.to9anime.tv9anime.live9anime.life9anime.love9anime.one9anime.page9anime.ru9anime.video9anime.app9anime.at9anime.bar9anime.zone9anime.cz9anime.pw

Fix 4: For some background advertisements, among other things.

google-analytics.com^ evergreensame.com^ beefraidmob.com^ 24vunvrv.com^ bidgear.com^ advinci.uno^ revrtb.com^ amung.us^ zap.buzz^ bebi.com^ (The Following) are uBlock Origin Only) 9anime.*##+js(abort-on-property-read, AaDetector) 9anime.*##+js(abort-current-inline-script, window.open, Cookie) (The Following) are AdGuard Only) 9anime.*#%#//scriptlet('abort-on-property-read', 'AaDetector')

9anime.*#%#//scriptlet('abort-current-inline-script', 'window.open', 'Cookie')

Streamtape

Fix 1: This should handle a bulk of the advertisements issued by their systems.

streamtape.*#@#.google-ad adsco.re^ achaithe.com^ mc.yandex.ru^ onergong.com^ roujaufu.net^ inpagepush.com^$important in-page-push.com^$important *$popup,domain=streamtape.comstreamtape.net *$script,third-party,domain=streamtape.comstreamtape.net @@google.com^$script,domain=streamtape.comstreamtape.net @@gstatic.com^$script,domain=streamtape.comstreamtape.net

If Ublock Origin, Add

streamtape.*##+js(abort-current-inline-script, document.createElement, 'script') streamtape.*##+js(abort-current-inline-script, Math, XMLHttpRequest) streamtape.*##+js(abort-on-property-write, _pop) streamtape.*##+js(window.open-defuser)

If AdGuard then also add (Unsupported by IOS AdGuard app)

streamtape.*#%#//scriptlet('abort-current-inline-script', 'document.createElement', 'script') streamtape.*#%#//scriptlet('abort-current-inline-script', 'Math', 'XMLHttpRequest') streamtape.*#%#//scriptlet('abort-on-property-write', '_pop') streamtape.*#%#//scriptlet('prevent-window-open')

Quality of life adjustments:

QOL Change #1: This stops Vidstream from disabling the right-click context menu. Once again allowing you to easily "save video as..."

(uBlock Origin only) vidstream.pro##+js(aopr, HTMLElement.prototype.oncontextmenu) (AdGuard Only) vidstream.pro#%#//scriptlet('abort-on-property-read', 'HTMLElement.prototype.oncontextmenu')

QOL Change #2: This stops Streamtape from disabling the right-click context menu. Once again allowing you to easily "save video as..."

(uBlock Origin only)* streamtape.*##+js(addEventListener-defuser.js, contextmenu) (AdGuard Only) streamtape.*#%#//scriptlet('prevent-addEventListener', 'contextmenu')

Filters involving banner advertisements:

Add these to remove some general banner ads and other minor tracking systems, mostly used by Disqus.

disqus.com/api/ping referrer.disqus.com^ @@referrer.disqus.com/jugglestat.gif^

If you WANT banner ads, add these filters to your system.

Usage Instructions:

To use these on Ublock:

Click the Ublock shield icon
Followed by the small three bars with knobs icon (it says "Dashboard" when you mouse over it).
Then navigate to the "My Filters" tab
Once there... add the filters you need or want to use as a new line
Hit the big "Apply Changes" button at the top left.
Now refresh 9anime and your issues should be fixed!

If you're an adblock plus user:

Navigate to the adblock icon and click on it
Click the settings button
Go to advanced
Scroll down and hit "Edit Filters"
Input the AdBlock compatable filters you wish to use. (IE: Nothing with +js() in it)
Click save
Reload 9Anime and you should be done!

If it still doesn't work on uBlock:
Make sure you take the time to purge your caches & re-update your filters!

To do this, head to the control panel like before but this time around select the "Filter Lists" tab
At the top there are two buttons. First click "Purge all Caches"
Then click "Update Now"
Wait until all the filters stop updating. (You can tell that they're still updating if they have a loading circle to the right of their names)
See if that worked.

And if it STILL doesn't work
Try to reinstall uBlock Origin and try again, however, if that still doesn't work then please feel free to drop me a message with whatever issues your having and I'll look into them when I have the time. (you can find me on the 9Anime discord at times too) Hopefully this will make all the information easier to access in one place.

Help, your filter's still aren't working!

If you're still having issues with the filters, then please double check that you don't have multiple Adblocking software installed. If you do, then make sure to either whitelist 9Anime from one of the sites or try and use the filters provided above.
If you're using PrivacyBadger, it's known to have issues with 9Anime.
If you're using Kaspersky antivirus, then a feature known as Anti-Banner has been known to interfere with the login menu appearing. Among some other things, your best bet would to be to try and whitelist 9Anime on that feature, and possibly re-install the browser extension.
Winscribe VPN and other similar "adblocking" VPNs that exist out there often use the exact same default filters as uBlock. So you can't use them while on 9Anime as there will be no way to unblock the content needed for certain functions.

Other Notes:

Just a heads up, since some people will probably wonder. The @@ tells Ublock to unblock that specific resource, which is why most filters you see don't use it. The problem with 9Anime is that the generic filters used by Ublock also stopped certain site functions from working. This just tells Ublock that "Hey, this stuff is okay to let through" so that the functions resume working. (But it doesn't unblock any of the advertisements)
Nano adblocker appears to work just as fine as Ublock using the previously mentioned filters (It's just a different version of UBlock after all).

Need help?:

Troubleshooting? Questions, Comments? Feel free to message me directly, leave a message here, or tag me on your post and I'll help out when I have the time!

Note: Please make sure to let me know if you're using easy-list / manual filters, what browser your using if applicable, and what device (PC / Phone).

Special Thanks (mostly for previous "legacy" issues):

•Thanks to KimRD for info on the 11-13-2019 HydraX popup change. And one of the two applicable filters for the situation.
•Thanks to 1pcguy for constantly directing users here when they missed the thread & discovering the oddly specific issue of a new tab closing itself when opened from the watch list. Seriously, keep up the good work!
•Thanks to SheepKid12 for being amazing. Okay but really, he gave me the push to make a filter list, and kept me updated on the situation with the image-redirect issue 9Anime experienced for awhile.
•Thanks to NotDaBiscuit for making a comment on the subreddit about AdGuard. It made me check their progress only to realize they now support advanced filtering. So thanks, the mobile filters wouldn't exist without you.
•Thanks to ThatOneGuyIsYou2 for letting me know about Cloudflare's email protection being heavy-handed. Let me notice an issue with missing cover art and anything with a @ in it being replaced with [email protected].
•Thanks to Skelewhore for the heads up that the Schedule wasn't updating properly anymore.
•Thanks to JagenIsMyDad for directing users here when they missed the thread.
•Thanks to Silvestic for letting me know about the (occasionally) missing tab icon.
•Thanks to njfernandes87 for helping discover & solve the Kaspersky conflicts.
•Thanks to Killy on the Discord for discovering an alternative solution to ad-blocking!
•Thanks to SupremeMaoZedong & TheMineosaur for alerting me to the missing log-in button, watch list updates failing, and for working with me to troubleshoot the issue's source.
•Thanks to Teesh13 for giving me a heads up about other extensions that might cause the above issues.
•Thanks to JoshB2084 for pinging me about the issue involving the sudden rash of popup scripts getting around the default filters. (And in the process of investigating, I found some other sketchy things)
•Thanks to just about anyone else who alerted me to issues with the website and worked with me to fix them. Don't think I forgot about you if I didn't list your name. :c
