Man I just love the browser and its features. But it does help that they are EU based and have some pretty well known browser veterans as founders. Also they are quite supportive in their forums and I feel they try to be as transparent as possible in their blog posts. E.g. they made clear to support Manifest V2 as long as it is somehow possible while also keep on improving their builtin ad blocker (but we all know nothing can keep up with uBlock)

Some of the good one are in German. They do have subtitles I think tho or even separate audio tracks. However this year it felt like there were quite a lot in English.

Rather they just read out her essay: https://www.nplusonemag.com/online-only/online-only/how-they-tried-to-kill-me/ Bit it is indeed a good read/listen

I think this is the normal instance behavior of Lemmy instances. It would be too much load for small instances to sync everything in the fediverse. Instead a member of your instance needs to first manually find a community before it starts tracking and makes it automatically available to the other instance members from there on.

Few weeks ago I saw a really cool presentation about the history and current state of Linux phone. It is unfortunately in German, slides in English though: https://youtu.be/JeFoRE72Gu0

you certainly have very strong opinions about something you can’t exactly remember. It’s ok to be wrong though we won’t hold it against you :-)

he’s sooo close to being banned for trolling 😂🤣

Well you have your “home” lemmy instance which you are logged in to. Everything you see goes through your home instance. But many things you will see originate on a completely different “remote” instance. Your home instamce nees to be federated and synced in order to the everything that happens in the remote/origin instance

Not sure about the current situation. However in general Twitch uses server side injected ads (SSAI), which are basically unblockable. They can however be bypassed (using different methods, each having it’s own pros and cons). Anway there is a very active twitch ad blocking community that will explain everything: https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions Most reliably is having either an http proxy or a vpn in a country that is not served ads.

Well that is actually quite dynamic as sometimes advertisers suddenly choose to place an ad in somen fringe country like czech rep. or Georgia. Mostly those small eastern EU countries are not attractive enough for advertisers. For some reason I also never get ads with Luxembourg IP, even though they are one of the richest countries in the world. Probably too small of a traget audience.

I use my paid vpn extension (Nord) to select a Country for twitch.tv which isn’t served ads. However I would all my traffic go through that specific vpn as it causes trouble with other appe/pages. So being able to cnveniently switch my IP per domain is pretty nice sometimes.

Some years ago I heard about this German guy that found a mind boggling bug in Xerox scanners and the whole story how they tried to play it down is really insane. So definitely worth watching, unfort only with German audio: https://youtu.be/7FeqF1-Z1g0

apparently they added that feature in June, very interesting. As free user u only get a light version though: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8590148-memory-faq

it’s called agile xD

I think they are referring to the point that you want your personal votes to be kept private. Some say it is a form of “cowardice” to not vote publicly.

Personally I see your point is very valid and at least this should be more actively described when signing up for Lemmy and that obviously your instance admins can see everything and you should be very careful (e.g. VPN) if you’d like to participate privately in a conversation. Maybe this is not the right platform for you then ufortunately. Everything in life has its pros and cons and certainly Lemmy is not perfect.

Not sure why u only mention iMessage, but it also works fine in Signal and other messaging apps 👌

that is how I started 6 months ago, but then I noticed how awfully outdated all the packages are. As I wanted to use it for gaming I’d like to have the latest drivers and latest Steam, and a modern wayland window manager etc. which is why I am now on Fedora and am very happy so far. Good luck on your journey.

I agree but it’s still in an early development state. Not really usable for everyday work let alone most people never heard about it 😅 But yeah still cool to mention it under “modern” browsers. I wish them good luck with the first alpha next year. I hope it’ll be successful.

you even mention ladybird as browser, nice 😎
