How to keep using adblockers on chrome and chromium

NOTE

by the time you're reading this, this probably no longer works since the policy has been removed. I reccomend you to check out https://github.com/r58Playz/uBlock-mv3 instead

How to keep using adblockers on chrome and chromium

  1. google's manifest v3 has no analouge to the webRequestBlocking API, which is neccesary for (effective) adblockers to work
  2. starting in chrome version 127, the transition to mv3 will start cutting off the use of mv2 extensions alltogether
  3. this will inevitably piss of enterprises when their extensions don't work, so the ExtensionManifestV2Availability key was added and will presumably stay forever after enterprises complain enough

You can use this as a regular user, which will let you keep your mv2 extensions even after they're supposed to stop working

VSCode config to disable popular extensions' annoyances (telemetry, notifications, welcome pages, etc.)
// I'm tired of extensions that automatically:
// - show welcome pages / walkthroughs
// - show release notes
// - send telemetry
// - recommend things
//
// This disables all of that stuff.
// If you have more config, leave a comment so I can add it!!

Convert docx to markdown with pandoc

Convert Word documents to markdown with pandoc

I use pandoc to convert masses of Word documents to markdown. Still working on a generic script, but for now here's the "gist" of what I type into the terminal:

$ myfilename="example"
$ pandoc \
-t markdown_strict \
--extract-media='./attachments/$myfilename' \
$myfilename.docx \
