Puts Debuggerer 1.0.0 Includes Invoked Class/Method Name

Posted on by Michael G
Puts Debuggerer finally goes version 1.0.0, and it now has a very helpful new feature: printing the invoked class method as part of pd printouts. For those unfamiliar with Puts Debuggerer, the project was inspired by a blog post by Aaron Patterson titled “I am a puts debuggerer”, which jokingly borrows from the wording of the comedy movie Dumb and Dumberer, turning debugger to “debuggerer”. The Puts Debuggerer Ruby gem aimed at automating most of the suggestions in that blog post.

Cassidoo, meme-maker and software developer, on her corner of the internet

Posted on by Michael G

Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we know the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for human connection, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. We all have an internet story worth sharing. In […]

TWIF generated on Thursday, 30 May 2024, Week 22

F-Droid core

Back in October 2023, we’ve talked about vulnerability patching and listed some 7 apps that might have been affected. Truth is, there were not one but three separate issues, with their own CVE identifiers, that needed to be looked into. And the apps list is too long to print here, about 130 apps were investigated.

In no particular order:

Most of the apps were fixed, but there are still apps that were never tackled, we recommend you to peruse the lists and check your devices, auto updates since F-Droid Client 1.19 should have you up to date, but it never hurts to check and manually update the outliers.

What if an app you depend on is still not fixed? We also linked to the upstream issues, feel free to give your 👍 there for the developers to see and hopefully expedite a fix.

As with past TWIFs, we ask you to please update your Android too. While the VP8 and SOCKS5 vulnerabilities were fixable by a library update in the apps, the Android system itself has a WEBP library included and that was vulnerable too, it can’t be updated by us or apps devs, but only via a full Android OS update.

Community News

While manufacturers boast how their smart devices can hold the whole world inside, they are mostly just talking about running a browser to connect to the Internet. So here comes Celestia, a 3D interactive planetarium, which truly brings the Universe to your pocket, with moons, stars and everything (known so far). The app package is huge, as expected, at more than 380Mb, so make sure you have enough system storage space to install. It can even get more space objects from the Internet so you can always explore the latest ‘world’ out there. Currently the app description and pics are missing, a fix is already submitted.

Can you recall companies trying to add screen recording or scanning features? Where those free software or open source? Would you trust their promises? We digressed, anyway, Hypatia, A real-time malware scanner _, was updated to 3.12 adding, besides the usual translations and database updates, a new ability: _scan screen content for malicious links. The developer explained a bit how this works in a Fedi post. It uses the Accessibility Services, which are rather sensitive as they can record your screen and more, so to enable this feature for Hypatia on newer Android versions, you need to first go to Android Settings, Apps, Hypatia, upper right three-dot menu, Allow restricted settings. Then in the app, open upper right menu, toggle “Link Scanner” on and follow the dialogues. Note: Depending on Android version, in our testing, you might need to visit these screens several times until the restricted menu is visible and the permission is granted so the accessibility service can be activated for Hypatia. 🤷

Developers of wallabag were quick to react after the downgrading so the app is back up to date again at version 2.5.3.

Newly Added Apps

7 more apps were newly added
  • Easy Notes – A simple modern notes app with material design
  • Jigsaw – A Jigsaw Puzzle Game
  • Mixer Controller – Access digital audio mixer’s via WebUI
  • Password Monitor – Ensure your password safety by scanning for potential breaches
  • Plant-it – Client app for the self-hostable Plant-it Server
  • RTTT – Recursive Tic-Tac-Toe game
  • TicTacToe – Classic game. Play offline, with friends

Chrome begins limiting ad blockers

Posted on by Michael G
If, for some reason, you’re still using Chrome or one of the browsers that put a little hat on Chrome and call it a different browser, the time you’re going to want to consider switching to the only real alternative – Firefox – is getting closer and closer. Yesterday, Google has announced that the end of Manifest V2 is now truly here. Starting on June 3 on the Chrome Beta, Dev and Canary channels, if users still have Manifest V2 extensions installed, some will start to see a warning banner when visiting their extension management page – chrome://extensions – informing them that some (Manifest V2) extensions they have installed will soon no longer be supported. At the same time, extensions with the Featured badge that are still using Manifest V2 will lose their badge. This will be followed gradually in the coming months by the disabling of those extensions. Users will be directed to the Chrome Web Store, where they will be recommended Manifest V3 alternatives for their disabled extension. For a short time after the extensions are disabled, users will still be able to turn their Manifest V2 extensions back on, but over time, this toggle will go away as well. ↫ David Li on the Chromium blog In case you’ve been asleep at the wheel – and if you’re still using Chrome, you most likely are – Manifest V3 will heavily limit what content blockers can do, making them less effective at things like blocking ads. In a move that surprises absolutely nobody, it’s not entirely coincidental that Manifest V3 is being pushed hard by Google, the world’s largest online advertising company. While Google claims all the major content blockers have Manifest V3 versions available, the company fails to mention that they carry monikers such as “uBlock Origin Lite”, to indicate they are, well, shittier at their job than their Manifest V2 counterparts. I can’t make this any more clear: switch to Firefox. Now. While Firefox and Mozilla sure aren’t perfect, they have absolutely zero plans to phase out Manifest V2, and the proper, full versions of content blockers will continue to work. As the recent leaks have made very clear, Chrome is even more of a vehicle for user tracking and ad targeting than we already knew, and with the deprecation of Manifest V2 from Chrome, Google is limiting yet another avenue for blocking ads. OSNews has ads, and they are beyond my control, since our ads are managed by OSNews’ owner, and not by me. My position has always been clear: your computer, your rules. Nobody has any right to display ads on your computer, using your bandwidth, using your processor cycles, using your pixels. Sure, it’d be great if we could earn some income through ads, but we’d greatly prefer you become a Patreon (which removes ads) or make an individual donation to support OSNews and keep us alive that way instead.
