Except this is the 6th recall this year

I’ve been using Firefox on Android since it came out. I’ve had 0 issues.

And as far as I’m aware, the newest version of Android Firefox (previously called “preview” doesn’t use an ounce of chrome, even for temporary browser pages

Considering their recent lawsuit, them ripping off Minecraft is hilarious

Firefox also has a mobile app with full extension support on Android, including uBlock origin

To my knowledge, DNS blockers not only miss a ton of ads, they also trigger several false positives.

A better solution is to switch to something not chromium like Firefox or whatever alternative the next Linux person to read this comment recommends

I was just discussing with a friend of mine how we’re rapidly approaching the dead internet. At some point, many websites will likely just be chat bots talking to other chat bots, which then gets used to train further chat bots. Human made content is already becoming harder and harder to find on algorithm heavy websites like Reddit and facebooks suite of sites. The bots can easily outpace any algorithmic changes they might make to help deter them, but my fb using family members all constantly block those weird Jesus accounts and they still show up constantly

Funnily enough, the bot everyone identified as tik tok hasn’t hit me as far as I’m aware. It’s mostly been random LLM bots grabbing data to train.

I should specify - I have family of various, but typically quite low, technical skills and of various far distances apart that use the server. So it’s either walk them through getting the IP of every device they access with or driving up to about 8 hours away to do it myself.

I have family and friends that also access the sites contents, so that’s sadly not feasible without getting the IPs from dozens of different devices

Thankfully they haven’t bricked my modem yet, but it’s possibly worth looking into

My personal website that primarily functions as a front end to my home server has been getting BEAT by these stupid web scrapers. Every couple of days the server is unusable because some web scraper demanded every single possible page and crashed the damn thing

Why’d you bring up tem tem specifically? It’s supposed to be “Pokemon but an MMO”. That’s the entire appeal. I had Pokemon loving friends that played it at launch and loved it dearly. It’s sad that it’s died, but if you want a single player version of tem tem, there’s about 22 Pokemon games according to Bulbapedia. Go play one of those.

Correction: a minimum of 25k non terrorists!

When my grandparents call me to ask about something, I consider it main stream.

They called me the day it happened asking wtf was up.

I definitely think that the amount of people who know about has shot up probably a couple thousand percentage points, and not for the better, but it definitely didn’t flip.

The other guy needs to Google what “hyperbole” is though

Heaven forbid those woke ass blind people be able to enjoy life the same as people with full vision!

Also, it’s a text description of a video. How tf does that help blind people more than just watching the video?

Wait, the Chicken Soup people own Redbox? Has that always been true?

Maybe a forced pop-up whenever you submit content. I know people are gonna hate it, but putting the option right in front of their face makes them far more aware of it.

If you wanted to make it optional, you could allow users to filter untagged posts. I think that with a combo of the popup could work to make it a thing people actually used.

Basically what were discussing is a less crap version of reddit tags, hashtags, forum tags, etc. The big problem with those, especially on reddit, is getting people to use them and use them properly. Every sub handled them differently (hell, on the 2 subs I modded, both used them differently and I ran both of them). Some subs let users apply, some were mods only, some were bots, etc. The other problem is getting people to use them properly. Hashtags aren’t a bad system, but easily abused (look at Tumblr tags. They’re essentially useless half the time).

Maybe community assigned tags could work. Have the poster tag from the start, then allow users to report if it should have a different level. It seems like a good idea, but I’d want to have something like a trust score behind it to filter errant reports and trolls, which I don’t think is currently something lemmy supports, but idk.

Anyways, just throwing out ideas

I like the idea, but getting everyone to add the tags would be a nightmare unless the culture majorly shifts in favor of adding them

I vote for “NEP” to be the tag in between SFW and NSFW. It stands for “Not Exactly Porn”

It’s for things you could still get off to and would likely get you in trouble at work, but hopefully wouldn’t get you fired
