Anyone else remember 2019 through 2024, when Google promised they were going to “phase out” third-party cookies in Chrome? No? Perhaps nobody believed them to begin with.

Any parents reading this who’ve found themselves with an unwanted electric motorcycle, I’d be happy to take it off your hands.

Apple hardware is typically more difficult to install linux on, and is therefore less useful. I mean you can do it in many cases from what I hear, but I think it’s still not easy on average.

“I doubt people left Firefox because it didn’t have key binds,” says one commenter. I almost did. It was only marginally less work to find a good way to stop ^W from accidentally closing all my firefox tabs than it would’ve been to switch to a different browser.

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

Okay, but if it’s not the USA or China then which imperial power does he think Canada should become subservient to next?

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.

Is it safe to say he would put an end to the war with a single phone call?

Regular, non-expert internet users find it fun, or even amusing, to play gacha games. And yet the sentiment about a potential new gacha game panel built into Firefox has been overwhelmingly negative. While sophisticated gamer aesthetes find those creations gauche or even offensive, other cultures find them perfectly addictive.

Most of the people that see gacha games as a valuable use of their time on this earth belong to demographics that are dismissed by all you internet weirdos. It’s an incredibly mainstream experience now. Regular people have no problem collecting trading cards, making the numbers go up, and spending money on in-game purchases. If Firefox wants to keep up with the times it needs a built-in gacha game so that it can protect the privacy of all the billions of people who will see it and understand that Firefox is the web browser and gacha game platform made for them.

The campaign seems almost comically inept. There are valid criticisms of wikipedia to be made, but the idea that it’s full of left-wing propaganda is just so ridiculous that it’s hard to imagine anyone taking it seriously. But then I felt the same way about a certain politician’s recent election campaign. I guess it’s the good old “big lie” tactic in action.

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.

“Conservative” seems to have changed its meaning at least twice in my lifetime, but I guess the essential “the people currently in power should continue to rule the world as they please” idea remains constant even when their rhetoric superficially seems to contradict it.

No. 2, which the Internet tells me is 6.4 mm. It then grows longer, but a fresh haircut is the only time I think about it and it feels great.
