E.g. as an user there is absolutely no reason to use Chrome instead

What do you mean instead? Edge is a Chromium rebrand

Rust is so brief it’s not even listed I can’t read

Webmonkey? You mean Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey? Use Firefox for Android

Also, there is a browser that consumes less ram?

Also Firefox

sovietknuckles,

I see. Yep, Firefox + Tampermonkey is the replacement. You’ll need to use Firefox Nightly so you can install an extension collection (that includes Tampermonkey).

Got it. Yep, Firefox Nightly + Tampermonkey is the replacement.

Firefox consumes less RAM than any Chromium rebrand, especially with Firefox’s recent optimizations

Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server?

Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I’ve purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu’s UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I’ve purchased a license to watch the...

The writers and actors are on strike right now, and if you pay for media before their strike is over, it makes it easier for Hollywood to profit off existing media, ignore the writers and actors, and starve the writers and actors out.

If you want to support writers and actors while they are on strike, so that Hollywood folds first, consider donating to

Strike funds aren’t something you can debunk. And if they were being paid enough already, they wouldn’t be striking.

Google hides the install button for most Play Store results (www.androidpolice.com)

“Google is constantly optimizing and tweaking its apps through various A/B tests, and the latest one for the Play Store has us scratching our heads quite a bit. We’ve noticed that the familiar and handy install button is disappearing for some in the Play Store’s search results, which means that you actually have to tap...

They’re actively working on it (watch, don’t post or vote), but Nitter is getting throttled. Nitter is switching to guest accounts and actively tracking rate limits, which is not on the master branch yet.

Signal is much better than Telegram in terms of privacy. Do people find Telegram more convenient?

sovietknuckles,
@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

What do you say to all of the people who use Whatsapp instead of Telegram because its default privacy is better? Privacy is one of the main selling points of WhatsApp, even though Signal has better privacy.

sovietknuckles,
@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

WhatsApp is more convenient than Signal and more people are on WhatsApp

So we’re scrapping the 26th amendment, huh?

Our current supreme court considers constitutional amendments to be unconstitutional, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they rule in favor of scrapping it

My last post was a post equating NATO with gay rights with the caption “fuck tankies”. That is not the case. I simply found a screenshot on discord and posted it because I was unreasonably angry at hexbear due to the brigading of the discussion thread. Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged...

However Meta decides to serve ads on Threads or Threads content. Whatever it takes, Threads will definitely do ads, as they are owned by an advertising company, but we don’t really know how LemmyWorld will do ads until those ads are live.

sovietknuckles,
@sovietknuckles@hexbear.net avatar

Threads can only display ads on their app

What is stopping them from adding ads to the website?

if lemmy.world adds ads, people can just not use the lemmy.world website

That’s what I imagine happening, a few people can’t stand it and leave or use uBlock, and the rest of the userbase gets served ads

As far as i know they cant force other apps to show ads

Not unless ads are a footer or something in post or comment content. That’s an intellectual property gray area, I wonder what will happen.

It’s not the vaccine, but while you’re waiting, Covixyl (a nasal spray) is available over-the-counter and reduces viral load/severity for 4 hours
