bingo. Timezones became easier when I learned that all apps and databases should have all times be in UTC. Let the UI do it’s thing and accept local time and convert it, and vis versa.

This is all over a GitHub stars badge? Developers probably want to encourage people to star it. It’s a huge stretch to say they’re trying to track people

You’ve been sitting in the drive through for 10 minutes how do you not know what to order?!

Me, 16 years old, on the other end of the speaker

For me it’s useful, depending how it’s implemented. Being able to say “summarize this article” or “summarize this ToS and call out anything that’s anti consumer” is how I use chatgpt

Because Chrome has already announced they are killing adblockers with manifest V3, and they have been very public about that for years.

Firefox just announced 2 weeks ago they are supporting manifest V2 & V3, and going on to support adblockers.

Yeah it’s pricey, very pricey, but the risks are just too high for a home not to be properly grounded anymore. Homeowners have had 50 years to do it, it’s time to get it done.

and that’s what I loathe about the idiots who are for this stuff. Yes, I want to curb this stuff - but for fuck’s sake there are ways to do it that aren’t “Give big government every scrap of data on you”.

There are ways to prove I’m over 18 without needing to register my ID with a porn company, or to regulate CSAM while not having to read private messages. Fuck, but we have the combination of circle of a venn diagram of idiot and control freak in congress, and they’ll happily remove all of our rights over some fear of the boogeyman

I know that the answer is yes

I mean, there you go, and all of the above. I’d add in a pretty large fire risk too. I hear my battery backups kick in regularly, and we’re talking about enough power to equal a large appliance (at least in my case). It’s 100% worth it to move them to a grounded outlet.

part of the reason I haven’t done anything right there. what is there to switch to? Chromium? Where they are actively killing adblockers?

They are, but I’m still disheartened. Googlers tried to take a stand last year and they immediately paid them all off

Bingo

Oh so you’re saying all Reddit users literally eat babies?

/s. The vitriol on that site was just exhausting.

Lol dude got the exact things wrong about Lemmy - clear they haven’t spent much time here. Fediverse is NOT privacy focused, in fact it’s the opposite. You blast your content out to everyone. The only privacy is your username, and that aint much. It’s user owned, that’s the saving grace, that corporate doesn’t own it. We sacrifice fake corporate privacy for open standards.

Right? Failed by who’s standards? For me, I’m pretty goddang happy here. I get enough content, I don’t feel constantly anxious or angry, the people are generally pretty nice. Is OP deciding it failed? Or are others?

Then getting mad when we call them out on their trolling

Literally relevant XKCD!

Enjoy, friend, it’s one of the longest running and best webcomics. https://xkcd.com (His books are great too)

No one can tell you here beyond “DRM bad”. Which it is, and I hate it, but you’re exactly right. All it would do if Firefox refused to implement would drive most users to chrome because there DRM works.

We are not the majority. The majority (and by that I mean roughly 96% of users) want their browser just to work. Taking a moral stand doesn’t resonate with them, they just see a broken browser and move on.

Fucking finally. So many reactionary nerds here. Yes, it may turn to shit. It may not. The result is unknown. What I do know is Firefox has been my browser of choice for two whole decades. Chromium actively is killing adblockers. Firefox right now is not.

If something happens I’ll make a switch. Right now, nothing has.

That’s great! Unfortunately for every one of them there’s 4x more who gladly would

Exactly, and it begs the question too, where’s the line? If you draw a stick figure of your crush with boobs is that a crime? Is it when you put an arrow and write her name next to it? AI just makes that more realistic, but it’s the same basic premise.

Distributing it is where it crosses a hard line and becomes something that should not be encouraged.
