I thought this was going to be a “rest of the owl” situation but I was happily mistaken.

Honestly sometimes it feels like all of LDS targets me specifically.

How does it work self hosting? Is it querying other search engines or just maintaining a database on your server?

Personally I just like the Borg’s plan for the economy. Sure, post-scarcity is nice, but what about post post?

Easily her most famous role, if not the most famous role of any actor, ever.

This could easily be done with AI. For a week or so, that is.

Not at all, Pixelfed is very polished and gets regular updates.

This is the answer. Also just personally speaking I found the quality of the other non-remastered series (DS9, VOY) to be slightly better on P+.

What a legend! RIP.

I found a Vivaldi blog post on this topic from 2022: https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-webrequest-and-ad-blockers/

Will the Vivaldi Ad Blocker be affected by the Manifest V3 changes?

I made some architectural choices early on that I believe should keep it functional, regardless of the Manifest V3 changes. Of course, there is always a possibility that the underlying Chromium architecture will change now or in the future, forcing us to do some extra work to keep this working. ​> Hopefully, a more in-depth description of the architecture and some of the facts surrounding the Manifest V3 changes should help to show why I believe that our implementation is safe for the time being.

Did you know that Mozilla is literally worse than Google and Meta? It’s true! Line 4,362 of the old “Firefox Send” source code contains a unicode character that in a very specific part of papua new guinea is used as a mark of shame against trans people. Also I am not paid by Google!

Yeah exactly, and it’s it’s all scheduled and automated it’s trivial (on your end) to include Fedi accounts.

Yeah, chromium based means adblockers cannot work as effectively.

I can never forgive them… for the death of my retirement account

Did you even watch the movie? I swear half the people on here are bots.

A “reply guy” (wikipedia) is someone who responds to posts/comments in an annoying (usually smug/condescending) way, like what you think of when you think of a “redditor”. Big platforms like Reddit like reply-guys because they generate engagement (often someone telling the reply-guy to f-off) it’s also not a behavior that an algorithm can recognize, so human mods/admins are needed to curb it.

Over time, if Reply-guys are not banned they tend to make the overall ecosystem too exhausting to participate in, and (authentic, desireable) engagement declines.

I think it has potential to be better in a way Reddit can never be, but the two biggest instances do so little moderation their userbase might as well be “people banned from too many subredits”.

I assumed the killer feature of Lemmy would be “zero reply guys” but instance owners seem willing to tolerate them in the interests of faux-engagement. But the irony is this sort of “engagement” actually scares new users away.

IDK how I missed this thread but thank you for compiling it, this is awesome
