Bluesky has moderation accounts you can follow like regular accounts that basically flag or hide posts according to how you configure them. This differs from the Fedi model where your chosen instance dictates what you see. There is the standard account that every user follows by default, but even that can be configured to your liking. And if you don’t want it on, you can disable it and follow a different account that moderates content to your liking.

I, for once, don’t like seeing insects, something that shouldn’t be moderated because there are valid reasons for posting pictures of insects. On Bluesky, I can follow a moderation account for phobias and have it hide any pictures I wouldn’t wanna see.

Thanks to that, Bluesky is more flexible IMO and requires me to do less for more. Unlike the fediverse where I have to maintain my own filter lists which don’t always work when pictures get posted without alt text or keywords found in the filter list.

Why we still haven’t burned down the establishment til now is still a mystery to me ✌️

Also called moderators elsewhere. Without those, the internet would be unusable for anyone not a cishet white Christian fundamentalist.

Ironically, this one is better designed than their current one lmao.

Thanks, babe, I’m perfectly aware it’s not new. I just find it ironic that a tech company would invest in dorms instead of remote work 😾

I don’t know, don’t ask me. People always find stupid shit to be outraged about, but this one is really not it tbh. I personally love it and hope the Fediverse adopts something similar to it or even just reuses the same open source code for these labeling accounts (as they’re called over there), albeit adapted to the ActivityPub protocol.

Which is why I applaud Bluesky’s innovative approach to moderation. It’s truly decentralized and decoupled from the server you’re signed up to.

Not sure if I would like my deliveries to be dropped off mid-air like the picture shows. Good thing this is US-only (for now).

The short answer is “no”. According to Apple’s blog post on the DMA, you’d have to be living in the EU for all of this to work and if you travel outside the EU, everything would continue working for a while and then stop. They didn’t specify after how long things would break, though.

I‘m pretty sure Lemmy lets you block instances just like Mastodon. In that case, if your instance decides to federate with them, you can just block that instance.

That only benefits the Mozilla Foundation and not the Cooperation who is responsible for developing Firefox. If you want your money to be used for Firefox, then you need to spending it towards the Cooperation AFAIK.

Howtogeek is not exactly known for good journalism so it’s fine, I guess.

It’s randomized

I think the topic of LibAdwaita was discussed plenty when shit hit the fan 2-3 years ago. Downstream developers can’t act all innocent and misinformed now when there was a huge drama between Budgie and GNOME upon LibAdwaita’s announcement.

GNOME developers repeatedly asked downstream developers to stop theming their apps which was generating endless bug reports for issues not caused by upstream code and none of them bothered to listen to them or work with them on a fix. Their choice of developing their own widget kit is a wise one because they’d otherwise still be wasting valuable developer time on fixing issues they should not be responsible for.

When one doesn’t take “no” for an answer, you’d have to forcibly make them stop. Just my two cents 🤷🏻‍♂️

Girl, what? No wonder they’re having trouble hosting their archive. Does Anna’s Archive host copyrighted content as well or is all that copyleft?

Running Windows 7 in 2024 is reckless, tbh 💀

I didn’t think of that movie, but you’re right!

Idk, should they?

Don’t be delusional. Apple would never allow for that unless forced to 😜

Yes

He spends all his time on Xitter so unless something changes about that, his day jobs aren’t the culprits.

It’s not a war to win. What’s best will eventually succeed, though 🤷🏻‍♂️ The future is decentralized because - sooner or later- every idiot will realize that putting absolute power in the hands of few that control our speech is maybe not the best idea. Now, that may lay far in the future, but it is the future nonetheless.

Basically what the DMA aims to give the Europeans. Nice copy-paste on the DOJ’s part, but at least they’re finally moving into any direction at all 😭

Reader Mode makes this accessible for me

Heck, I’m paying $7.5! Prices across the Atlantic are WILD

I imagine a couple of terabytes at the very least, though, I could be underestimating how many books have got deDRMed so far.

That’s why I said it would happen in the far future. Even the most stupid dipshits would’ve gotten it by then.

Use the same script to unlock Pro. Windows is automatically picking Home because it was most recently activated that way. You could also add a file onto the USB you used to install Windows with to force to show you a selection menu of various Windows variations (ie Home, Pro, Education, etc) and then pick Pro there. The preinstalled key should still be on the machine.

Just a coincidence. Safari was 8th or 9th for me while Vivaldi was first.

I use huramovies.to myself and it’s a better experience than actual streaming services because it has everything in one place.

I’m just waiting for them to implement a bookmarks manager in there. Then it would be complete, however, now you would use the Firefox View for everything and would still to open that ancient window for bookmarks.

It always sucked tbh, but I think what the OP meant is that when it came out, it was understandable that it was very limited and not good, yet still innovative and interesting. Apple just never really improved it beyond that.

The US is a failed and corrupted state that we don’t need to recreate. It’s built on more wrong things than good. Keep your American propaganda to yourself and don’t infest the actually free fediverse with your liberal corporatist ideals.

And this isn’t even touching on the myriad of reasons for us not to federate with an entity like Meta. Not even gonna iterate on them because they’ve been infinitely chewed in and out.

While I get the sentiment, your posts are public anyway, so they’re just a tiny step away from being scraped by Meta. Technically, they wouldn’t need to bother with federation for just profiling you or training their AI on your or anyone’s posts. Although, Meta will sure as hell find a way to blacken the pages - one way or any other.

Or Fedora if the user picks Gnome. Honestly, don’t make users pick distros, but user interfaces. Most wouldn’t want to understand the technical differences between Mint/Fedora/whatever because at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.

Is hosting all that stuff even legal? I mean, they’re not making any money off of it, but they’re still a “piracy” hub. How have they survived this long?

I find the browsers’ various implementations to be far inferior to the built in system split screen. They really overwork my already overstimulated ADHD brain.

Yes, but organic growth has its limits unlike capitalistic growth. We can’t grow infinitely and if we grow fast, that growth might be gone as quickly as it arrived.
