The Quuuuuill

Seen by who? I’d never even heard of them and I’ve been on mastodon for ages

Works good at browser

There was an appropriate balance of API fees, returning adds in the API calls, and charging subscription fees to remove ads that would have generated maximum profit by milking the ecosystem from multiple places without ever pissing off users bad enough to make them leave. Complain? Oh sure, users would have done that plenty. On reddit. Where it made reddit monet. Reddit instead elected to simply shit the bed.

They were also smarter about it, slowly constricting tighter and tighter whereas with reddit it was more of a poorly executed throatpunch

Anyone who just wants content, never mind the ethical outcomes of continued presence in a billionaires plaything to amplify rightwing voices

Mission To Zyxx

Nah its part of the markdown specification

Markdown treats single newline breaks as being a line wrap in a long text flow

Click the Github link in the original post. Google has an RFC open right now about “web integrity” about ensuring users don’t modify the content they see. They claim it’s not to block plugins but… It’s hard to think what else they could possibly be thinking of.

Yeah, if your work uses a website like ADP and ADP starts requiring it, you’re suddenly minorly fucked

So here’s the thing. This web integrity nonsense isn’t about locking people into Chrome, it’s about locking people into seeing what they’d see if they were using Chrome. The result might be more people using chrome if a website decides to DRM their content and their ads, but if you switch from one Chromium-based browser that forces you to see the ads like Chrome does to another Chromium-based browser that forces you to see the content that the website originator wants you to, like Opera, that’s still a win for Google who are more interested in forcing you to see ads for this cause than for you to use Chrome.

The solution is voice objections to Google implementing this, to not use websites that implement DRM, and to not use web browsers that let Google dictate what the future of the web through their control of the Chromium engine

The point is the quality, not the quantity. I see a common refrain on the threadiverse that the discussions are more in depth, insightful, thoughtful, etc. Slowly the rank and file of Reddit will get tired of how much less interesting and creative the content there is

Hadn’t heard of it before this thread. I’m assessing it. Seems interesting

None of the messaging metadata is encrypted. They use that metadata to build profiles of people who aren’t Facebook or Instagram users that interact with Facebook and Instagram users. If you care about profiling for the sake of avoiding social engineering attacks, it’s one of your worst choices. If all you care about is protecting the contents of your messages, yeah, it’s pretty okay

Discord has some shady shit in its privacy policy, and one of their largest investors is Tencent. Discord is one of my top targets for replacement, but none of my friends are all that interested in trying Matrix

OCI uses Dockerfiles and runs Docker images as docker images are just KVM image, which is what OCI runs. Nix is absolute overkill for the orchestration of a web server workload and would be better for managing the container host (whatever you’re running kubernetes or docker swarm on).

I don’t really know how to put this, but nearly every single web service you encounter and interact with is built using a dockerfile just like how Lemmy is doing. If you’re going to disqualify Lemmy as a viable platform based on it having a dockerfile, I got bad news

By most definitions Ukraine is definitively not part of Asia. The only line that would intersect with Ukraine at all is “A” which only the Soviets ever claimed to be the line between Europe and Asia

I’ve had some good results with NextDNS, as well

• Brave while performing well on benchmarks does not have an auditable codebase, and most privacy experts would recommend a privacy-focused firefox fork like librewolf or arkenfox
• Their cloud storage recommendations make no mention of rolling your own with syncthing or nextcloud
• Apple mail is part of Apple’s spyware ecosystem to collect data about you for the purposes of advertising

I will say, it’s much improved over what it used to be

This is one of my preferred privacy guides because privacyguides.org has some questionable recommendations
