fuzzzerd,

I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

fuzzzerd,

Which is why all browsers cross identify as other browsers. This would make it easier for sites to block and harder for browsers to work around.

fuzzzerd,

You can install the kbin interface as a PWA on mobile, and it works pretty well. There are some kinks for sure, but it's 100% usable and better than lemmy.

fuzzzerd,

Maybe they care, maybe they don't, but they definitely value convince over privacy.

fuzzzerd,

Claiming there's savings just isn't true in reality. If they came out and said it's to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I'd be all in, and I'm still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

fuzzzerd,

Coming in hot with the real answer as to why it feels that way on the fediverse relative to the rest of the internet.

fuzzzerd,

Seems like each community would have to opt-in to having those bots correct links in their threads.

fuzzzerd,

I suspect those are OPs urls, and showing them could allow someone to identify the company or site they work for.

fuzzzerd,

Stack exchange is CC licensed, and they host a lot of user content.

fuzzzerd,

Think your commodore 64 is really neato?
what kinda chip you got in there? A dorito?

Every time that lyric gets me. Every word is meticulously chosen. And all of his songs are like that, which is just incredible.

fuzzzerd,

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

fuzzzerd,

Sad thing is, plenty of people will lap this up as a good thing and see it as a benefit. At least at first, until they realize they have to watch some TV based ads before they watch the ad roll on their YouTube video, followed by the second screen showing some banner ad the whole time. Yick.

fuzzzerd,

From kbin, you can just boost it right from the web site.

fuzzzerd,

Unifi has good equipment, works very well with a small self hosed cloud key or dream machine.

fuzzzerd,

Classic Kohl's strategy, not sure if they did it first, but its the first place I saw it used in early 2000s.

fuzzzerd,

Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn't terribly surprising.

I'm no meta apologist, they've done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn't really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.

fuzzzerd,

The difference is here you can manage your own feed and pick and choose. Many folks don't want metas apps on their device but wouldn't mind some of the content. Folks that don't want it don't have to sub but those that do can benefit second hand.

fuzzzerd,

If that's true, then the issue isn't that processed foods are bad on their own, but a side effect of the processing is that they are easier to overeat on. That's a very different issue that what type of food is being eaten. It's possible to overeat on grilled chicken and vegetables, it's just that it's harder to do.

fuzzzerd,

Couldn't agree more. The processing is a distraction. Good food can be heavily processed and bad food can lightly processed. The issue is that the processing of food makes some foods easier for overconsumption. That's not an issue than can be legislated at the root cause and anything else will have unintended side effects.

fuzzzerd,

This is by design. They've got us arguing about the api price, when their goal was to kill off third party apps and get all users on their app so they can data mine us. And the ridiculous api price is a secondary bonus for them, since AI and LLM companies will gladly pay it to sick up the content on the platform.

fuzzzerd,

Very sad, but also very true.

fuzzzerd,

Pack it in, at this point even if reddit caves, this will be a better long term fit than reddit.

fuzzzerd,

Honest question, why? If you're already on kbin that is your account. What is the reason to have another separate account on mastodon?

Hi /kbin! I'm currently working on a small browser extension for /kbin users.

This extension helps users subscribed to Lemmy communities by adding an icon before mentions or URLs related to other communities. These mentions can be in the format "!communityname" or through URLs like "https://lemmy.ml/c/memes"....

fuzzzerd,

I don't understand why this isn't default behavior. I'm logged into kbin, as such if someone links another community on a different server, I want to interact with it through kbin, where I'm logged in.

While a browser extension is a great start, that doesn't help mobile users, so again it feels like it's something that should be in the base UI.

This is a great start though, and useful for those folks that can run browser extensions. Here's wishing mobile browsers had more extension support.
