uBlock Origin forever and always. I've recently reinstalled Windows within the last 30 days and thus have a fresh installation of my browser and uBlock Origin – I have already blocked 609,521 ads, wild.

You know it's bad when the almost constantly unhinged 'Empress' is the one speaking sense.

https://ripped.guide/ can be pretty handy.

Wild that the answer to young people being exposed to literal genocide and having an opinion about it, isn't to try and do something about the genocide, but to call it indoctrination and try to ban it.

Make it make sense.

Turns out we should have been helping Ukraine against Putin's fascistic colonialism instead of supporting an entirely separate set of fascists commit genocide in Palestine.

Unsure if this counts as a quote but here goes.

If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best

Absolute fucking nonsense.

The annoyances filters in uBlock Origin take care of these, I believe there are a few filters specifically for this exact issue, named appropriately.

Can't speak for others, but my decision to stick with lemm.ee stemmed from seeing how active the owner is, the minimal defederation and the bot & moderation policies meaning there are minimal bots, and I've yet to currently see much spam issues, which is nice.

Also helps that the owner Sunaurus is an active contributor to the Lemmy project as a whole, so we get patches and fixes relatively quickly.

Especially considering, as far as I can tell there seems to not be any new features.

In fact, they're limiting colour options now and the canvas is smaller.

Tell me your healthcare system is broken without telling me your healthcare system is broken.

Man-child overpays for company, makes a concerted effort to ruin the things that make it good, then complains that it's not good anymore.

For someone who claims to be smart, Elon is a fucking idiot.

I'm unsure if this is satire.

I'm inclined to agree with others here in the thread. I honestly don't think this was an intentional action designed to tank Twitter. It may well be doing just that, but frankly, Elon has proven time and again that he's a world-class idiot.

That hacker news bit got me, I won't lie.

MFW things that should be basic fucking human rights are now considered 'Comfort Breaks'

Lemm.ee intends to do the same “If Threads ever becomes interoperable with Lemmy”

Per – Admin Post

Here's the important part.

Certified transcripts of each day's proceedings will be posted to the New York State Unified Court System's press website by the end of the following business day, according to a Monday press release. Transcripts can be expensive and sometimes unavailable, depending on the location or particular court system.

Website mentioned

"It's time for this war to end"

My dude, this was never a war, legitimising genocide in this way doesn't help.

This was asked in the lemm.ee discord and the answer given is below.

Ping times are low everywhere because the files we serve are hosted on globally distributed servers. So if you're in North America, you will download the frontend code (and images etc) from a North American server. But the backend is actually hosted in Germany

And funnily enough, it's not even a fiction novel.

Boost for Lemmy

Gotta say, wish we had this problem over here in the UK.

Interesting to mention the exodus, but not the place where a considerable number of those people ended up. Right here on Lemmy. Perhaps that's for another article.

Is this windows 11 or 10? That's absolutely wild, never seen it before.

How remote are the chances that this stops him even slightly from spouting absolute nonsense into the void?

Took me longer than it should have to realise this wasn't a shit-post.

I've never been so happy to have the ability to root my phone and flash a new OS onto it. This shit is absolutely insane, I'm surprised there isn't more eyes on this from non-profits globally.

Every now and then I come across something, where I have to stop myself from just immediately down voting as a knee-jerk reaction to simply witnessing it.

This is one of those times.

Don't forget Waterfox, privacy centric version of Firefox.

WoW (Private Servers)

GW2 (Personal fave out of these)

FFXIV

ESO

I also hear New World has vastly improved since launch but I've not played it since beta so I can't really say.

Haha, yeah okay perhaps sense isn't the correct word.

There is a considerable amount of depth to the game, but it's not insurmountable for anyone. You'll have no problem going through the game if you read through tool tips and help pop-ups as they arise. DnD knowledge needed is none at all or negligible at best.

If you do end up playing, I hope you enjoy!

Yeah, I second this, used it a fair amount myself.

Pretty much this. People seem to forget that we few that value this level of browser privacy and security are an extreme minority.

The vast majority of users just want it to work, without error. Some don't even care that much about it being fast or slow once they're entrenched in the system.

Frankly I'm anti-lobbying, in an ideal world this shit would be illegal. But we're not in an ideal world and this is not abnormal.

Honestly, I don't know if it's the fewer users, the lack of trolls, the newer apps I've been forced to use or the topics that I've been getting into since joining Lemmy. But I have been considerably more active here both commenting and posting, than I ever was on Reddit.

It may have started as a way to do my part for the growth of Lemmy, but it's not been about that for me for some time now.

You, are a pun-geon master.

This is likely to not even include the exodus from the 1st of July onwards also. That's when my partner and I moved over here. Will be interesting to look again at the start of August, check the true scale of their fuck-up.

Aye they show that, and also the current one both in the article.

Have you considered using software like stremio? Alongside specific add-ons.
