Consent-O-Matic is a browser extension that auto-responds to all the #GDPR and similar consent popups with optimal user preferences.

Unlike the extension "I don't care about cookies" which just accepts all cookies, Consent-O-Matic clicks the prompts on your behalf to reject most of the cookies. You can also choose what to accept/reject in the preferences.

Available for Firefox, Chrome and others.

I've been using this on Firefox for quite sometime now and it works great!

Annual #LastPass breach incident news 😂
At this point, it's become a regular thing and some of us still use LastPass.

Why do we need Claude subscription anymore when we have Chipotle AI 😂

For context, Chipotle is a restaurant chain in the US and their AI is apparently answering programming and other questions.

@pixelcode@social.tchncs.de @yeswap@mastodon.social Yeah, this is legit. That link redirects to actual Mozilla foundation blog. It redirects here: https://www.mozillafoundation.org/en/nothing-personal/signal-privacy-review/

The #OpenClaw or #ClawdBot is joining #OpenAI . It is strange how he got something working without touching a line of code and made it popular with that security vulnerability infested software.

Switched my uptime monitoring tool from UptimeKuma to gatus. It is much more light weight yet gets the job done. It also requires setting up endpoints using config file instead of the UI which can be a pro or con based on your tastes. I like it so far.
It is using less than 10MiB memory compared to UptimeKuma which was using about 150MiB.
