Main is @pre
Using this account more for forum-interaction, if I say anything I think is interesting here I’ll likely boost it there.
And they have the cheek to suggest I donate money to them. 😆 Their CEO should be donating to me!
I’ve switched to Librewolf mostly now since they said they merged with an advertising company and are gonna add this scam “private tracking” bollocks.
@webghost0101@sopuli.xyz I guess, though, on this occasion, I’m happy for the EU to not look at the data-security of the Fedi. 😆
@mbirth@lemmy.ml “Some of them”, sure.
Which is not 90% of them. It’s the exceptions.
If a block-button stopping read-ability works in 80% of the cases, it’s better than one that works in zero percent of the cases.
Look at twitter.com/@elonmusk in a private tab.
Most of the posts you see are from 2022!?
The block button on Twitter has gone from 80% effective to 0% effective.
Well done Musk. Well done.
@mbirth@lemmy.ml And yet that minor inconvenience is enough of a hurdle that Musk thinks he has to get rid of it. Following a profile logged-out is impossible now, and alt-accounts are a pain to maintain. I’d wager that in way over half of the cases where someone is blocked, they do in fact then never see the blocker’s posts because they don’t run alts or view logged out.
🤷 I’ve mostly used it for MAME anyway.
Is there anything more bullish than a big media organisation warning their readers not to buy? Top signal is when the NYT says it’s great and everyone should buy in. Seems there’s a way to go yet.
Well he’s going to need all that money to pay his water bill! Have you seen the rate they’re going up?
Bush, Trump, Clinton and Biden all got more innocent people killed than Julian. Their crimes all dwarf anything he is accused of let alone is guilty of. If you are not a literal bot, you have allowed yourself to be programmed by intelligence agencies into hating the man who exposed the crimes over the men who committed them.
@beeng@discuss.tchncs.de I wonder what proportion of the original code is still there. Not much I shouldn’t think. The original app didn’t ask for android permissions the way the modern one does, if only coz Android changed the way permissions work since then.
Whatssapp is designed as a surveillance app, it’s primary purpose is to collect data from your phone for Facebook to analyze, so they make it basically impossible to use unless it’s installed on your phone.
Seems unlikely they’ll deleted it. If they’re started deleting data that’s quite a change. They might save from bandwidth costs of delivering it to people I suppose.
Maybe something to do with users filling the AIs from the google cache? Google wanting to ensure only they can train from the google-cache.
@Norgur@kbin.social hehe.
A stylus holder too, an extra battery of course, too to handle the extra load.
No phone has been better than the n900. But a case that had the keys and extra power and maybe a secondary status screen on the back, and didn’t look like a bananna themed children’s toy. Could be nice.
While it still says “twitter.com” in the SSL certificate, that’s still it’s name. It is still called Twitter.
Ah, I really wish Oculus had sold themselves to almost any other company on the planet :(
@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.
If I can’t get that then I’d think about abandoning the web for Gemini.
Probably the “company” that they thought you were shilling for is Kbin or Lemmy? Which aren’t companies of course, but an understandable mistake.
Presumably the people on Reddit will become more and more in favour of the admins, as everyone who isn’t leaves.
Soon all that is left will be the Spez Fan Club.
@honeyed_coffee For the reasons the OP mentioned. Familiar faces, being recognized in a community instead of being just today’s main character.
In a single large forum most participants are silent, as they must be or it’d be a cacophony. Many are silent out of worry that they need to say something good enough to impress a hundred thousand people, not just something interesting to their local 100 friends.
On Fediverse things escape their local instances and their local forum-groups by boosts mostly.
Yeah, I keep saying this to people when they worry about fragmentation. Like it’s important to have all the Baseball fans in the same Baseball forum under one big banner.
No, that’s not better, that’s worse. What you want is a thousand interconnected forums with 100 people each, not a forum with 100,000 people.
@Gaywallet Replying in your mega-thread. KBin here is tagging you when I do that and I didn’t delete it.
Haven’t used Lemmy much, perhaps that behaviour is different?
@Australis13@fedia.io Probably just ignore it and have a new doctor with no regeneration scene.
If it were me I’d do a one-minute tik-tok when new actor is announced with Billie mid-generation just going ‘oh, no, not that’ and then shaking her face off into the new guy. Don’t even need Billie to come in and film, can just CGI it with the new guy busting through after he ‘oh hello’.
But my guess is really not even that.
Don’t think we’ll ever see the Bad Wolf Doctor, even for a minute, let alone an episode or a series.
Fingers crossed though. If new producers do start with a special, maybe at Xmas 2027, it ain’t impossible.
