Dark Reader is a godsend. I sent money their way, so many things are just stark white everywhere, I’d be suffering of it wasn’t for that extension.

- Comment on YSK theres a open source tool to cleanly read webpage articles called 'NewsWaffle' 4 weeks ago:
That’s really good, but it suffers from having a “good enough” competitor built in. You’re already using an ad block that prevents loading ads, trackers and other nasties. Then you click Reader mode to get to a result that works well enough most of the time. A lot more convenient than handling finding a website to paste a link into, let alone self hosting a tool.
What this project needs is a browser extension to make it more convenient.

Is it? Because war crimes are only defined in the context of a war, and I can’t see this scenario of an enemy combatant that is also citizen of the country it’s fighting and had no other citizenship. And even if it is, war crimes are only enforced after the war is over, on the losing side. Not on internal dealings of a country.

IIRC, it uses a free (libre) font license. So you’re free to do pet much anything. Changing the font might have some restrictions.
