I looked into uBlock rules. The problem is that you need to click “No” before continuing. Ublock can block the ad, sure, but they can’t perform user actions.
Scriptlets may be useful but I think an addon with a library of bypasses (sort of like sponsor block) might be better.
I already am. At this point, if I’m buying something on Amazon, it’s because I cannot find a comparable product elsewhere.
I’m even paying more at other retailers. I haven’t run the numbers but before I cancelled prime 4 years ago how, I easily spent thousands. Last year, I think I spent a few hundred.
This year, my goal is less than 100.
Amazon fucking sucks for me now. Every fucking purchase (which is getting rare and rarer) I get asked to join prime.
There is no “don’t ask me again”. Every fucking time I have to select “Not now”.
I’ve come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.
Waterfox works great on Android.
The fact that excel lacks any sort of auditing or access controls. The fact that any corruption in the file could lead to the company not knowing what money goes where and who’s been paid and who owes them money.
It’s possible to encrypt traffic without a cert that expires.
I don’t know much about how Chromecast works but my bet is that it’s like a hacked together lighthttp or nginx server, which is why it needs a SSL cert renewal.
What’s to stop a company from standing up their own instance?
If they only create an admin account and then federate to every instance, now they have everyone’s content.
I’m suddenly realizing the anti-AI blurbs people add to their comments now make sense.
Imagine a capital juggernaut like Amazon invested in truly renewable energy instead of just trying to be power hungry assholes trying to race Google to the AI market.
The amount of technology that they could create simply from these investments could change the course of our planet. But, no. Line must go up next quarter. Not 2 years from now.
Remember that to these people the law exists to oppress.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
Sort of except the fact that he wants to be a dictator. Tariffs require no approval from Congress and it’s the only peaceful offensive weapon he has at his disposal.
He knows better (at least let’s hope he does) than to send troops anywhere for 90 days.
Yeah but no one uses wordpad. They put it in notepad for the exact reason you’re saying: because people use it.
“The Internet sees censorship as damage and routes around it.”
Does Amazon have permission to change what’s in your book though?
Copyright prevents them from making derivative works and if they change your text without your permission, that’s a clear copyright violation.
I don’t know how licensing deals work with Amazon but I’m guessing if they are doing this en mass, there is probably some provision in their contract.
Didn’t the MAGA insurrection use Signal to coordinate their efforts?
Wait wait…yes, follow dear leader to an app that keeps your history and doesn’t encrypt at rest. You have nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
Thank you for this post and encouragement. I am open to volunteering my time and talents to help people find Lemmy.
However, after the work is done, it would be fantastic if you all could invest in advertising. I know that Google and Bing aren’t great but if I had to guess, search trend for “reddit alternatives” is probably rising and Lemmy is in a great spot to provide reddit refuges a life raft.
I would call them “starter” instances. And I’m in agreement there should be a set of principles that these instances should follow but at the same time telling new users that it’s okay to switch instances. I started in .world but moved due to their increasingly conservative changes.
While I personally would steer new users away from .world, I think it’s more important to tell them it’s okay to switch instances.
It looks like it’s been patched. I couldn’t find solid instructions anyway. But if I do, I’m sure someone will post an easy to use shell script.
Except this isn’t 100% true.
There isn’t a single platform that has reduced the number of ads it serves.
Businesses have learned that the majority of users will take it.
Reddit gives Google access to everything so that Google can train their AI
Reddit sold access. For short term gains. Because the quarter needed more money to beat the previous quarter.
If this isn’t a leopard eating their face moment, I don’t know what is.
It’s kind of like that guy that cheated in chess.
A toy vibrates with each correct statement you write.
