Pretty quiet on lemmy without .world and .ca and whatever else. I’m glad to see beehaw still up.

Most of the “microblog” posts I’m seeing are pretty short. I seem to remember the images being way too big, though. I made a custom ublock rule or something to make both the lemmy ones and them equally small thumbnails just big enough to decide if I want to load a full-sized one. It’s kept working for a year or something, I had forgotten it was there, but I guess it helps even more now.

Edit: Ah, found it. It’s a firefox/librewolf userContent.css thing. Maybe something similar could be an mbin user configurable option some day.

@-moz-document domain("fedia.io") {
    .figure-thumb { max-height:90px !important; max-width:160px !important; overflow: hidden; }
    .view-compact .entry figure { height:90px !important; width: 160px !important} 
}

I like it. Always wondered why it wasn’t like that from the start.

https://fedia.io/threads should do it.

The majority of censorship is self-censorship

I’m sure there’s still a good American newspaper out there somewhere, but I don’t know what it is. All the familiar big ones seem to have fallen.

What on earth would ipv6 have to do with it?

My rule of thumb: Do not ever link to, or follow links to, or read the New York Times.

People say “kernel level” anticheat as if that would be necessary for some reason, but I don’t really see it catching on in the linux world. Steam doesn’t even have root normally. Even if it did, not everyone runs exactly the same linux kernel and the only practical way to distribute a module that’s going to work for most people is through dkms, which means you build it from source, which means proprietary super-obfuscated shit is not going have its intended effect (assuming it ever does.)

There’s nothing stopping them from doing all the same bullshit in userspace instead.

Distance from eye to reflective surface unspecified. Capacity to blink twice in the time taken for light to traverse that distance in the relevant frame of reference is unknown.

The partition table isn’t encrypted either. What a scam.

Prove_your_argument

Maybe you could mention a few examples of times they got it wrong, what specifically they said that “didn’t stand up to scrutiny”, and how if at all they responded upon learning about it?

Is that more times than they caused it?

They cured mouse cancer!?

Don’t worry about it, other than being in the wrong spot it looks like a fine post to me. I’m not sure where, exactly, would’ve been better — I only subscribe to relatively few lemmy communities.

And then Optimus will come around to your house, and it will give everyone free ice cream. Whatever flavor you like! Then Optimus will save all the sick animals and make them better, and fix the ozone layer, and stop crime. Optimus is going to cure cancer, and eliminate traffic jams, and make me the most popular man in the world. A true communist utopia.

Youtube videos do not belong here.

It’s the deficient market hypothesis in action: If someone has money, he must be right. Therefore, give him more money.

The strength of todays “AI” is generating bullshit, isn’t it? Not that it doesn’t take more than that to invent a new religion, I suppose you also need genuine holy divine inspiration and so on, but it sure might be helpful to the process.

For me the X11 era continues for now (until the next version of xfce I expect) and the era of GNOME ended 23 years ago.
