I see monero pretty widely adopted! But not near Bitcoin and even BCH might have a little more traction.

I've kinda seen monero as a truly peer-to-peer currency because most central exchanges don't ever want to touch it :)

You probably saw some (mostly fraudulent) ads. Dread is where most of Tor's public content can be found; but, yeah, crypto (specifically Bitcoin and Monero) are the standards there.

I'm also disappointed that we now have AI browsers, which is scary and not a good direction to go in.

Out of pure curiosity, why do you say this? In context of something like ChatGPT, it makes sense, but what do you think about stuff like local LLMs as assistants and embedded in browser infra?

You're probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don't like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

what about cross-posting content from Lemmy/kbin to Reddit? Showing that, not only in theory, but in practice, you can switch?

I didn't check and didn't make one, but there certainly should be I agree. Take this as a hotfix

glad you got it working for you (and I should probably update it to wildcard kbin.social, with that in mind)! I think your observation is right on the mark because my homepage is all, or /

hmm

• is it showing a red [1] in the extension list (to signify that it's running) on the homepage?
• what device & window size are you using?

This is great, and true too, but I hate google man. Gonna wait to see when translation tools like this become FOSS. I think AI might get us there. In the meantime, LibreTranslate does good for translation and Tesseract works for OCR.

Microsoft is surprisingly pro-FOSS - probably more than any of the others in "big tech." It's the same reason MS isn't in the FAANG acronym. They've consistently forwarded and contributed to the FOSS community over the past several years. They have massive stakes in the linux foundation, which is either conspiracy or just a shift in attitude (i haven't decided myself yet). For a more concrete example, with LLMs, Microsoft (despite basically owning OpenAI) is contributing to free and open-source language model development, with Orca and TBAAYN, as well as publishing free and open-source tooling for LLM, such as the guidance repository.

Kbin does have tags for the language of posts, and they are accurately represented in these German posts, but I can't find a way to filter them without just blocking the server!

As a quick fix, a user script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Kbin: delete articles in other languages
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  Auto-delete posts in languages you do not speak.
// @author       luphoria (https://kbin.social/u/trent)
// @match        https://kbin.social/
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=kbin.social
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
  'use strict';
  const allowedLangs = ["en", "es"]; // Edit this to all of the languages you can speak / want to see in your feed

  let deleteUnwantedPosts = () => {
    const postTags = document.getElementsByClassName("kbin-bg");

    for (let i = 0; i < postTags.length; i++) {
      let postTag = postTags[i];
      if (postTag && postTag.textContent && postTag.textContent !== "OC" && !allowedLangs.includes(postTag.textContent)) { // OC tags are the only elements (i know of) with the same class.
        // Delete element's parent's parent's parent
        if (postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent) {
          console.log(`Removing post labeled \`${postTag.textContent}\`: "${postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent}"`);
          postTag.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.remove();
        }
      }
    }
  }
  deleteUnwantedPosts(); // on load

  // for continuous feeds
  let observeDOMChanges = () => {
    const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutationsList) {
      deleteUnwantedPosts();
    });
    observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
  }
  observeDOMChanges();
})();

Ok but why are we lumping in a greedy ceo with criminal state regimes? Don't you think it's a little overkill to compare strenuous API costs to Tiananmen Square?
