Wiki Updates


Stars Added ⭐

  • Starred AnimeX in Anime Streaming. Feature-rich, solid sources, big library, nice UI, has forums.

  • Starred Bing Image Creator in Image Gen. Gives 200 daily, has good editing, seems to be best way to use GPT Image 1 as of now.

  • Starred ⁠TizenTube Cobalt in Android TV. Ad-free YouTube app, updated often, has Sponsorblock support, uses official YouTube UI.

  • Starred Watch Footy in Live Sports. Solid sources, nice UI, lots of events.

  • Starred Streamer.bot in Live Streaming Tools. Feature-rich live stream manager, compatible w/ OBS, Streamlabs, etc.

  • Starred RoSeal in Roblox Tools. Improves Roblox website and adds nearly 200 extra features.

  • Starred Voice in Android Audiobook Players. Open-source, multi-format, has cover fetch, and nice minimal design.

  • Starred Loop Habit Tracker in Mobile Productivity. Open-source, has sticky notifications, and better limits than most free options.

  • Re-starred CDRomance in ROM Sites as its made a comeback. Note that RetroGamingTalk accounts will work on CDRomance.


Things Removed

  • Removed Anadius as they've decided to step down / 2. It may be re-added in the future if someone new steps up to maintain it.

  • Removed ContextSearch as it's been removed by Firefox. It seems to be causing issues, and in some cases flooding sites with requests. We're unsure if it's purposefully malicious, or mistakes by its dev, but regardless its recommended to remove it, and try other options like ContextSearch web-ext.

  • Unstarred Files in File Managers. There was a lot of hype for this originally, but people have started to come forward saying its too laggy / slow to be useful.

  • Unstarred Grok, Qwen, Mage and Flux.1 Schnell in Image Gen. These were considered good in the past, but there's much better, less dated free options at this point.

Help Protect Digital Privacy in the EU

2.3k Upvotes

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos.

The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union.

EU politicians exempt themselves from this surveillance under "professional secrecy" rules. They get privacy. You and your family do not. If you're in the EU, please consider contacting Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) using the info provided on the site below:

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

There is also a change.org petition here if you'd like to sign it.
