The “how it works” page suggests it only works on chrome based browsers. Anyone able to determine if firefox or safari are affected too?

The code filters out non-chrome browsers: >The extension scan runs only in Chrome-based browsers. The isUserAgentChrome() function checks for “Chrome” in the user agent string. The isBrowser() function excludes server-side rendering environments. If either check fails, the scan does not execute.

Is there any way I can use the Wine project to facilitate this compiling and running straight under x11/linux environment as a integrated project that doesn't require the end user to fiddle with Wine? I don't mind bundling shared code as needed. Help appreciated, I tried hard and failed at this endeavour priorly.

I believe that's what Winelib is for: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Winelib-User's-G...

We are far too quick to jump to "this person isn't functioning in society, therefore something must be wrong with them" instead of doing the hard work of adapting our social and economic systems to be more inclusive of different types of human experiences.

Careful saying things like that, someone might accuse you of being a socialist (slight /s)

Agreed, if you talk to members of a random sect then other sects range from explicitly heretical* to simply historically‡ or structurally wrong. And that's not including the political views of various sects§.

*: Mormons & Jehovah's Witnesses from the perspective of sects that follow the Niecene creed

‡: United Methodists from the perspective of Free Methodists

§: Unitarian Universalists are left-aligned, the Southern Baptist Convention is right-aligned

They really want to get rid of everything beyond what they consider the default human experience although getting them to agree on that would go about as well as getting them agree on the right kind of Christian.

The term they've been using for the "right" kind of person is "Heritage American", allegedly meaning people whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower. That apparently does not include people whose ancestors came to the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge.

I would not be surprised if the "right" kind of Christian ends up being the one that believes the Prosperity Gospel.

2.) Doing what I wanted would require federal intervention, and the climate has not been ripe for new regulations, let alone governing bodies, in well over a decade.

Unionization could achieve the same end but the propaganda is strong in the US

Framing it as addiction is popular now but it removes user agency:

The present research (N = 1204) explored the implications of overusing the addiction label. In Study 1, a national quota sample of Instagram users (N = 380) overestimated their addiction to the app, and those who perceived themselves as more addicted (but not more habitual) experienced less ability to control their use. We show that the perception of addiction likely arises from popular media’s frequent labeling of social media as addictive (vs. habit forming). Study 2 (N = 824) demonstrated experimentally that framing frequent Instagram use as an addiction has deleterious consequences for user self-efficacy, including reducing perceived control over social media use and increasing self-blame for overuse. In addition, misperceiving excessive social media use as addictive potentially diverts users from effective strategies that could be used to curb overuse habits.
