JoBo,

Yes. That’s the point. It’s ridiculous.

Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new tab or window?

It is a simple line of code and the entire site does this or add target=“_blank” to every hyperlink, and it will do the same thing. It sucks that you have to right-click every link to open in a new tab or window and it is such a simple fix.

JoBo,

Laptops don’t have middle clicks.

Everyone knows the various workarounds. You don’t need to post them. This thread is about a problem that ought not to exist.

JoBo,

Lemmy overrides that setting. It works everywhere but here and it is irritating as hell.

JoBo,

It’s overriding my browser preferences. That should not happen.

JoBo,

I found a bunch in Firefox config settings. One was so extreme that on Kbin, refreshing the feed would open a new tab. In Lemmy, nope, didn’t work.

JoBo, (edited )

So now I need to buy a mouse and sit at a desk in order to use Lemmy?

C’mon. No other site behaves like this. It needs to be fixed.

JoBo,

Mine doesn’t but I’ve found an option to switch three-finger click to middle mouse button. Thanks.

JoBo,

Links opening in new tabs is the default normal way. Most sites don’t send you off their site by default, for obvious reasons. And most feeds won’t lose your place in the feed by default, for equally obvious reasons.

Artificial intelligence technology behind ChatGPT was built in Iowa — with a lot of water (apnews.com)

But one thing Microsoft-backed OpenAI needed for its technology was plenty of water, pulled from the watershed of the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers in central Iowa to cool a powerful supercomputer as it helped teach its AI systems how to mimic human writing....

JoBo,

Presumably it evaporates and returns to the water cycle? I don’t know, but it’s not like growing tomatoes and exporting the water within them. That water is staying local. But that doesn’t mean it returns to where it’s needed, when it’s needed. They’re putting a strain on the local water supply (flow) not necessarily the long-term stock.

In 2022, a document from the West Des Moines Water Works said it and the city government “will only consider future data center projects” from Microsoft if those projects can “demonstrate and implement technology to significantly reduce peak water usage from the current levels” to preserve the water supply for residential and other commercial needs.

They’re not doing that for fun.

JoBo,

You’re going to follow him around for the next nine years making sure he doesn’t do any daft teenage things?

Good luck with that.

JoBo,

Wrong post?

JoBo,

This is genocidal lifestylism, not good green politics.

JoBo,

Population growth peaked decades ago.

The planet will be fine. The question is how humanity survives. Your fantasies about just killing everyone off quickly are not a solution, they’re a cop out.
