Please tell me you haven't been creating accounts on every instace. You can register on one instance then use that account to interact with content and communities on all other instances.

the ml as Marxist-Leninist was probably just a coincidence, the real reason is that Mali (.ml) domains used to be free

Classified information or $10 manual again?

I doubt Firefox will give in. Much more likely is that websites start blocking it until you cannot use the internet without Chromium

when are they gonna learn that any client-side restriction or hindrance can and will be defeated? sleep(5000) is kinda like them throwing a fit, not actually trying to punish anyone. obviously we'll find a way to avoid waiting the 5s, do they think we'll just give up?

Why not both? Digital is obviously better but analog is painfully simple hence it'll probably be the medium used for transmitting emergency alerts

Mine has a choice of picking Raw, JPEG or HEIF, probably just a vendor dependent feature difference

It is possible to negotiate in the universal language of high explosives. I don't think it's possible for Putin to "save face" at this point – he's either gonna win this war (he won't) or get replaced and/or overthrown. Russian people do not like losing wars. Giving up land is out of the question, according to the Ukrainian government.

I just recently found out that Americans do in fact have data caps even on landline. Recommend watching this episode of Patriot Act, it made me realize just how shitty ISPs are in America, all in the name of profit.

The only thing ISPs adjust is your bandwidth, offices with many computers need more and have to pay up.

And yeah, @mypasswordis1234@lemmy.world. Unlimited means unlimited. Go download your... whatever it is you're downloading.

you don't understand they're queens and need to be protected because they cannot do it themselves!!!!!!!

some people need to get off the blackpill

For what it's worth Brave and Opera do extend the base Chromium functionality quite a bit. No idea why they couldn't have done it with FF/Gecko though.

according to evolution itself it would be a crab

Yeah, that's the reason. Trans girls just often happen to be good at IT and leftist.

It's likely that this small instance just hasn't fetched the requested posts yet, you'll need to wait. In the meantime, if you want to interact with those posts you can copy the link by right-clicking the colorful Fediverse icon then pasting that link into the search box. This will force the instance to fetch that particular piece of content for you.

California needs to burn. For millennia, First Nations people oversaw controlled burns in the forests they lived, played and worked in. These burns cleared out underbrush, saw off sick trees, and created canopy openings that admitted sunlight to help quicken new growth. The importance of fire to healthy renewal is testified to by the regional trees that can only reproduce through fire, including the state’s iconic giant redwood.

Centuries ago, European settlers dispossessed the state’s First Nations of their ancestral lands and banned “cultural burning,” declaring war on both indigenous people and fire. This was the start of a long period of firelessness, during which time ever-more-heroic measures have been deployed to keep fire at bay.

This is a vicious cycle: massive fire suppression efforts creates the illusion that people can safely live at the wildland–urban interface. Taken in by this illusion, more people move to this combustible zone. The presence of these people in the danger zone militates for more extreme fire-suppression, which makes the illusion all the more tempting. Yielding to temptation, more people move to the fire zone.

But the opposite of controlled burns isn’t no burns, it’s out-of-control burns: wildfires.

Fires that erase whole towns. Fires that burn unchecked. Anything that can’t go on forever will eventually stop. Fire debt mounts. When the interest payments get too high to bear, we go into chaotic default.

California needs to burn. It needs an orderly bankruptcy. It needs to revive the controlled “good fire” that kept the land safe and healthy and allowed humans and forests to peacefully co-exist.

The alternative to letting California burn in an orderly, controlled fashion is for California to burn anyway. It’s wildfire. It’s tragedy and destruction.

Social media needs to burn.

From its first days, the consumer computing and networking sector was synonymous with explosive growth.

Companies would spring up out of nowhere and grow to impossible scale overnight. The source of this rapid corporate gigantism was no mystery: it came from network effects.

I don't think it's paranoid to not want any intermediary to know what you're talking about, even if all you're talking about is innocuous things like groceries.

Besides, they don't have to "waste time" on anything. They've got computers to collect it all.

Of course, like you said, Signal or Matrix are potential solutions for that, but you still need to get both sides to agree on using them. SMS have the advantage that everyone has a phone number and can thus use them. Upgrading to RCS will secure this insecure-yet-very-popular medium.

I understand your point but that is the worst attempt at discussion I've ever seen lmao

"Too lazy to formulate an argument, look one up yourself"

Here's a post on Lemmy posted via Mastodon. I on the other hand have had no luck seeing Kbin posts here on Lemmy, but I think it's just my instance :(

They won't keep your cookies or SessionStorage but extensions will stay on across all containers. If you wanna test websites in a clean environment you should probably create a new profile or download another Firefox modified for developers (can't have enough foxes in your computer amirite) altogether

Sadly yeah

the existence of a filesystem in the human body implies being able to mod and recompile body parts as you see fit

But it's not like every single other instant messaging or social media app, even from the west, won't scan it. You only have a choice of whether you want your data to be sent to ad companies or the CCP. Unless of course you're using something like Signal.

Yeah, essentially. Sometimes one instance is not aware of some communities hosted on another. In this case, you need to make it aware of them by looking them up in search, after that the instance should catch up. Your instance's version is also important; if your instance is not up to date, it may have trouble with fetching content from another, especially if the other instance has already been updated.

Is there zero risk or do you think there is zero risk? Text messages can absolutely be intercepted by your service provider

What in the name of fuck is that bill. That's one of the worst pieces of legislation I've seen in a longer while. Companies and open source communities will immediately catch that an employee is trying to sabotage their system on behalf of the government by means of code review and version control history. The programmer will be questioned, then likely fired or ostracized in case of open source works and the code will hit the bin. This idiotic... thing will accomplish nothing but harm their own citizens who will now be treated like potential therats and denied employment opportunities.

On a funnier note, every time Australia introduces some horrible tech-related bill I remember this beautiful clip summarising just how well politicians understand technology.

Re-rendering 4k videos (or of any other quality fwiw) with ads included would probably incur more electricity costs than they could ever make through the ads. TV could afford to do this since they transmit the same program and the same ads to everyone. Youtube targets them per user, so they'd need to render the same video, in high quality, every time any user clicks on it.

Yes. I love it so much.

Can't wait for us Lemmings to be able to see and interact back with you guys from kbin

Not really interested in modding here but would like to know whether you can invite a user from another instance as mod
