Looks like this wiki is where that sound list came from, since there are other types of owl calls, maybe it’s referring some other call and not the “who who”.
I found this video where you can clearly hear the twit twoo call of the Tawny Owl in the UK. Interesting it’s actually a female Owl call and a male Owl answering.
I get this too, just for the developers FYI, not that I’m expecting anyone to fix a safari bug just to let you know of another side effect;
If you in a community and click on a post that has the hidden banner ad bug then when you click back to the post list you can’t scroll up or down. If you do the swipe right and pull down to show the offending ad and close it then you can scroll through the posts again.
Most users (at least in my observation, in the instances and communities i’m on) on Lemmy are privacy minded, open source fans, linux enthusiasts , etc.
Google is evil and will suck up any data they can find on you and sell it to anyone that will give them a buck. Lemmy users don’t like that. (me either)
Google also makes a lot of money selling ads that are crafted for your likes based on the data they steal from you. Lemmy users also don’t like that (me either).
Ad blockers will hamper some (not much) of google’s ad revenue so they don’t like them. many users use Ad Blockers ( I use an ad blocking DNS server)
Recently Google announced that their Chrome browser would not allow ad-blockers because it’s changing the functionality that ad-blockers use (Google sucks, don’t use Google stuff)
So that is why it’s showing up an Lemmy a lot right now.
FireDragon (my understanding is that FireDragon is built from LibeWolf) and LireWolf is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf (and FireDragon I assume) is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements.
I don’t use either, I use just firefox so maybe a user of FireDragon could give you more.
Edit: Take a look at Jao’s post again, he updated it with more info on FireDragon.
“ In June 2023, the Chrome Web Store will no longer allow Manifest V2 items to be published with visibility set to Public. All existing Manifest V2 items with visibility set to Public at that time will have their visibility changed to Unlisted. In January 2024, following the expiration of the Manifest V2 enterprise policy, the Chrome Web Store will remove all remaining Manifest V2 items from the store. “
Looks like existing ones might still work until January?
The pop up blocks my whole screen except for a tiny part at the bottom. I guess I could read it by scrolling 1 line at a time but at that point, it’s a pay wall.
There is a key to lock it closed, and the same key will lock it either on or off. In keeping with a Victorian Bell/Butler Board but not near it in the house....
Looks like a antique double pole single throw switch (DPST) meaning it has two single switches connected mechanically but separate electrically (it can switch on and off two circuits at the same time). The contacts look fairly beefy so I would guess it could handle fair amount of current and the lock may have been to just keep people from getting shocked. Might have been the cutoff for the power to the bell board.
Edit: Looked around and can’t find one like that. Is there a plate on it anywhere? Could you show the cover and back of the box.
Sad to see almost none of the devs, from
Apollor (ChristianSelig), RIF (u/talklittle), Infinity (u/Hostilenemy),
Boost (rmayayo), BaconReader, to Relay (u/DBrady), etc. are not considering Lemmy at all.
I know these were hobbies but by atleast developing it for some time just to make transition for your audience to Lemmy easier would have gone a long way!
@lemmy@LemmyDev Lemmy will remain a niche platform if not enough people switch to it
I would say give them a minute, month, year. They all just had a major ongoing project conclude in an unwanted way and they all deserve a break. Then in a few months or years maybe. Also, I don’t know the APIs for either platform but I would guess they are quite different so it might be starting over. As for Lemmy, I’m new to the platform but have been watching it for a while and reddit just gave me the nudge. Sure there will be a bunch of fair weather users that will go back to reddit once things die down, but they where not here before and Lemmy will be fine once they leave. Lemmy is such a breath of fresh air from the toxic nature of reddit and I just hope the Lemmy-for-a-day crowed can behave themselves for the period they are here.
Update: It seems to have been a browser issue. After waiting 20min or so and clearing the cache then restarting the browser I was able to post without the issue.
I work in IT and users will get upset if you give them the “Please put in a ticket” line. So for the people that might grumble at this stance but there is good reasons for it in addition to not clogging up this community it’s good for QA. I’m new to Lemmy so not sure if the SAs and Devs frequent !lemmy_support but I suspect they do and driving support questions to a common spot will help analyze need for new features, UI changes, bug fixes, etc.
NNN actually stands for No _____ November.
