waffle iron posted:Being an ineffective nonprofit is much different from a fraudulent/unlawfully acting nonprofit. It's very embarrassing for him to not have dispersed a large portion of the holding, but not illegal. Doesn't sound like self dealing or self enrichment. At best we're talking about administrative action by the IRS to lose tax exempt status. It's not "a large portion of the holding," it's any of it at all. He has not dispersed a single cent collected by the non-profit, over the course of 10 years. And how does the legality of this change if the foundation has been claiming that they've been dispensing these funds to charitable causes all this time when they haven't been at all? Is it really legal to accept donations while claiming that the money will go to specific causes, while not giving a single cent of that money to those specific causes for ten years?

I feel like his nonprofit doesn't even make much sense. It's a charity to give money to other charities. Even if they weren't pulling this poo poo, It's a middle man that just takes out expenses that would otherwise directly go to one of those recipients, meaning it's just reducing the total amount of donations that go toward the underlying cause. It makes no sense to use this instead of Tiltify or whatever if giving to other charities was ever really the goal.

biznatchio posted:Not legally. If the charity is being run legally, the funds are being held in an account owned by the nonprofit org; any interest earned goes into the account and is also owned by the nonprofit org, and any disbursements from the org's assets to external entities or individuals needs to be accounted for in the org's filings.  But to be clear I've no idea what he's actually and not accusing him of anything, do not sue for defamation.

power crystals posted:All their IRS filings say they're holding that money ($650k now!) as "Cash non-interest bearing" and they receive no money from interest. So is there a giant pallet of $100s in their house? No, "Cash - Non-Interest Bearing" covers "cash on deposit in checking accounts, deposits in transit, change funds, petty cash funds, and any other non-interest-bearing account" (see the bottom of page 19). It's not cash in the literal sense of the having stacks of $100 dollar bills, but any and all funds that are effectively cash in that the funds don't earn interest and are liquid, immediately available for use. Non-interest bearing accounts are fairly typical for transactional accounts because they're low/zero fee accounts -- they're not the sort of account you'd want to be using if you planned to be holding onto money for years without sending it anywhere.

This has been a long time coming but the finish line is finally in view: https://twitter.com/vxunderground/status/1725290175419277450 quote:Google confirms they will disable MV2 extensions including uBlock Origin in mid 2024 quote:To more specific and to avoid confusion (as it probably will), Google Chrome is transitioning to MV3 (Manifest Version 3) which alleges to "improve content filtering support" for the Declarative Net Request API which is used by many ad blocking plugins (and many, many other Chrome plugins). Google states these changes are for API security concerns. Many plugin developers (uBlock included) expressed concern that this move from MV2 to MV3 will render their plugins useless (or non-functional), despite this feedback Google has stated they will move forward regardless. quote:ublock origin lite lacks a lot of features that actually makes ublock the best: quote:In December of last year, we paused the planned deprecation of Manifest V2 in order to address developer feedback and deliver better solutions to migration issues. As a result of this feedback, we’ve made a number of changes to Manifest V3 to close these gaps,

AdGuard has a commercial product. Of course they’re clapping their hands seeing their competition getting kneecapped. HTTPS proxying isn’t a thing, right? Otherwise I could see some PiHole like solution popping up, that scrubs HTML and JS files as they’re being downloaded.

So is there anything stopping uBlock from migrating to the V3 manifest? I know very little about programming, so a simple explanation will do fine if it can't be done.

the ublock guy has made a version for manifest V3, called ublock lite, but it's not as effective as the original the problem with V3 is that it replaces the ability to write arbitrary code that decides what gets blocked with a prescribed (by google) pattern matching system that an extension just provides a big list of rules to, and google were also planning to set an arbitrary limit on the number of rules that can be loaded (though they've increased it a few times already) other chromium browsers should easily be able to lift the rule limit at least, but maintaining the old V2 extension system after google rips it out will be a much bigger task repiv fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Nov 17, 2023 |

I've been using firefox for years now thankfully. I've got Ungoogled Chromium for when the few pages that don't want to cooperate with the security I have in firefox are needed, but that's not too often.Randalor posted:But I was wondering if uBlock could be made to fit the V3 stuff, not if it could stay on after the V2 stuff was ripped out. There is no 'yet'. They literally won't be able to add the features people like because the new system won't allow it.

Kazinsal posted:so other chromium based browsers like vivaldi have seven months to invent a new API to ensure uBlock Origin and friends work when google says no Vivaldi (and Opera and Brave) have said they're going to keep the existing V2 code active. So they don't have to make a new thing, just maintain the old thing. (Google themselves are not removing the V2 code from Chrome right away -- see the devblog where it says Enterprise users have until June 2025.) Randalor posted:Like this! So basically, "the guy who made uBlock is already working on a V3 version, it just doesnt have all the features (yet)"? Oh, okay. No "yet" in there, the V3 ublock lite will never have the features and power of the full ublock. Google intentionally designed the new thing to suck.

Most subscription streaming services don't allow you to stream 4K and/or HDR over any web browser, but 1080p shouldn't be a problem.
