This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

dditty,

Or as my sister used to say: whateverrr

dditty,

I’ve gotta hop as well; I’m trying to find the biggest/most mainstream instance that hasn’t blocked or defederated from the piracy communities. Will have to check this list and find one when I get a chance.

dditty,

And if you were to actually create an innovative or competing product, Google would just buy you out like Android, Waze, Nest, etc

Your choice of browser matters — Google's Web DRM and the open internet

https://grafcube.codeberg.page/blog/2023/08/06/web-drm-api.html

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

dditty,

I just switched to Fennec from Firefox Nightly when I found out it also supports custom add-on collections. Works great!

dditty,

I’m talking about third party extensions that the Mozilla store doesn’t let you install directly, at least the only way I’ve figured out how to add them is with the custom collections

dditty,

…mozilla.org/…/wikiwand-wikipedia-modernized/

Note: I have this working via my addon collection

ADMIN, isn't it time to move from lemmy.world?

Every time I try to access this community, ther’s some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it’s almost all orange/red. The problem aren’t DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don’t you move this community to a different server instance? I’m...

dditty,

Cloudflare DDos protection isn’t a silver bullet; the attacks are distributed and come from shifting source IPs, and are sophisticated in that they exploit resource intensive queries specifically designed to overload a Lemmy instance. If lemmy.world were to pivot to some other instance, who’s to say the culprits wouldn’t just resume their efforts pointed at the new location? There are theories these may be carried out by the recently-defederated fringe hate communities

dditty,

Windshield solar visors will be making a comeback (if they ever even fell out of fashion) with climate change heating things up. I drive a black car with a black leather interior and the thing makes a huge difference when it’s sunny and 80+° F outside

dditty,

A tomato straight from the vine is basically candy 🍅🤤

dditty,

Really? Dang, that’s a bummer. I haven’t rewatched it since it originally aired but at the time I thought it was superb.

When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?

It’s my goddamn motherfucking mobile data and MY PHONE. I should be able to use it however I want. My wifi went down because the greedy, cunt-faced shitbags at Comcast stole taxpayer subsidies to enrich themselves instead of actually providing the service we’re paying for. I tried to switch to a mobile hotspot and my phone...

dditty,

I always buy unlocked Android phones and they’ve all had mobile tethering included for no additional charge. Samsungs.

dditty,

Have you tried getting a more updated APK and repatching it? I haven’t had any issues for several months after doing that. ReVanced Manager should tell which version to get.

dditty,

Actually, Wikipedia doesn’t have to ask for donations to the extent that they do:

dditty,

Given the context Interdimemsionalmeme provides in their comment, I think neoliberal makes perfect sense. Why bring another human being into a dying world where their labor will be exploited until they die?

dditty, (edited )

If u disagree with the term neoliberalism that’s fine but it’s a widespread and useful term that exists in common usage regardless as to what u think of it. If u haven’t read its definition I recommend u check it out! ☺️

dditty,

Thank you for taking the time to write such a down-to-earth and insightful comment! I totally agree with each of your points. Same reason I would never shop at Walmart/Sam’s Club, get takeout from Chic fil a, drive a Tesla, sleep on a MyPillow, etc.

dditty,

I’ve had a couple Samsungs but I think my next phone will be a Pixel for exactly this reason. Installing GrapheneOS is exactly what I need

dditty,

Yeah my next phone will probably be a pixel specifically so I can load it with GrapheneOS.

Maybe later... how about never, you fucks?

It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won’t let people say “no” to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new “features”, only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They’ll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I...

dditty,

What domains did you ad to your pihole Blocklist for the LG tv WebOS services you mentioned?

dditty,

Or even to compete in the labor force, the productivity gains of mainlining the internet will be insane and ppl without it won’t get hired. Ray Kurzweil talks about it a bit in his book “The Singularity is Near,” his take is optimistic though.

dditty,

This is true, but it’s also pretty much the only “shortcoming” of the OS

dditty,

I’m running netdata on each of my servers and it has every feature I need. If u choose netdata, make sure not to install the nightly builds since they get updated all the time and sometimes break features. One annoying thing with netdata is you have to pay a subscription for the option to disable individual alert types. I have a nearly full hard drive and there’s an alert for that which won’t go away. Same thing for temporary inbound packet drops which seems to happen everytime one particular Plex user forcibly transcodes content (they’re old and remote and won’t change their Plex client settings 😡). Each error they send you an email.

dditty,

Ooh sweet thnx 4 the tip - will try this later! I was trying via the web dashboard which I’m pretty sure requires a subscription

dditty,

Thanks for the heads up 🙏

Proceeds to blindly parrot social media post titles to friends like an automaton

dditty,

Literally same. But I would still play the s*** out of an Oblivion remake.

dditty,

Interesting I never knew of “American Psycho 2”. I might have to give it a watch just for the lulz since it has Mila Kunis and Shatner in it.

dditty,

That doesn’t surprise me since it was apparently released straight to DVD. Still might watch it with friends after a few brewskis MST3000-style

dditty,

Same! Lemmy reminds me a lot of Reddit when I originally joined in June of 2011

dditty,

And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade

dditty,

To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.

dditty,

Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢

dditty,

What are you running for your firewall? I’ve been curious about self hosting a Lemmy instance (currently have a few services like Plex, Minecraft, pihole, etc) but do worry about security

dditty,

Yeah I regret seeing that picture.

dditty,

One option you could try is the recently-released singing feature in the Ultimate Guitar app:

help.ultimate-guitar.com/…/6873192-what-is-ultima…

dditty,

This seems like a good idea and I hope Apple eventually follows suit. There are so many apps, especially on iOS, that are just the mobile app blown up on tablets that are basically unusable.

dditty,

I just switched to Fedora from Ubuntu for my Plex server and I’m referencing the Arch wiki all the time, recently for looking up info about pam/Google Authenticator

dditty,

I use PiVPN (wireguard protocol) on the same pi I use for pihole exactly like this. Port isn’t forwarded, but I can split tunnel DNS for adblocking on the go and still ssh to my other server

dditty,

Humans have always been highly intelligent, they were just limited by the tools of their times. And yes much of their knowledge and innovation wasn’t preserved to be built off of.

dditty,

And to add on: improved precision when typing. My WPM honestly improved once I started bring my lubed Holy Panda board to work and forwent the membrane keeb my work provided.

dditty,

For anyone (such as myself) whose use-case for Twitter is just for following specific people, if those influencers aren’t using Threads or Mastodon then there isn’t a competitor who can replace that service. I only use Twitter for a few select people and that’s it. I’m on Mastodon just posting into the void which is fun but doesn’t replace Twitter for me (yet)

dditty,

Ellen Pao, yup. F her and f spez

dditty,

Omg lmao yes this feature is so clunky and antiquated

dditty,

'cause ya never know when your gonna go!

dditty,

Same.

dditty,

Exactly! I take fastidious care of my teeth - I’ve only ever had 1 cavity 10 years ago - but recently I broke the filling and the dentist said it has to be a crown. I have dental insurance that covers two cleanings per year and just like u said, I still had to pay $500 for the crown. That was a big setback.

dditty,

Sounds like a breeze 🌬️💨

dditty,

Bad Girls From Mars (1991) if I am not mistaken

What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

dditty,

So since it was intentional I’m just a dude?
