I’d probably go retro, use something like Dillo and stick to more classic webpages. Or go full Gopher/Gemini.

Instead of uBlock Origin rather use AdNauseam. It’s basically uBlock Origin, but it “clicks” on the blocked ads so the ad networks still have to pay website owners.

IPoAC

EDIT: Meh, they’ve removed the example picture for “packet loss”.

database schema improvements, which is a particularly tricky thing to work on

Not, if you know what you’re doing.

I dont like AI, I wish I could go back to the world before it, but I cant.

You do know that you can use LLMs to get inspiration and suggestions but then still implement those things by hand? Which is also a great way to make sure it doesn’t change something else in the background. Also, if you use Claude like you’ve used StackOverflow and Google before, you don’t even have to mention it as a Co-Author.

Pro-tip: Block the user “claude” on GitHub and it’ll show you a warning for every repository where they forgot to remove the Co-Author tags:

And rejoining the EU would help with that in what way?

Or as Osho Rajneesh put it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwVdAwmeEF4

Do YOU have an understanding of what’s going on in the EU these days? How Ursula von der Leyen shielded off her floor? Have you checked the projected GDP growth of the UK vs. European countries recently? I’d say the UK is pretty well off without the EU. And they have the freedom to shape their own laws - all by themselves.

British voters are mostly stupid and don’t understand that Covid happened at the same time as Brexit. So they believe that all the bad effects from Covid are due to Brexit. Completely ignoring that other countries like France and Germany struggle in very much the same ways.

It works in both directions. I’ve been shadowbanned from mastodon.social because one user misinterpreted my comment about something political (related to Germany), reported me and apparently their (German) mod was either lazy or followed the same misinterpretation and shadowbanned me - for life.

And there’s no way to object this as their support only answers to members. Which I am not.

Yep, and an especially fun fact is that people with high-end equipment prefer MP3 over lossless.

But did they use oxygen-free copper (OFC) wire? Because otherwise the results are skewed as regular copper sounds just as bad as a banana stuck in wet mud.

Posts can also get synced if someone from gram.social searched for a direct link to a post. E.g. if you go to gram.social and search for https://pixelfed.social/p/pixuser/1234, it’ll get synced in the background and show up if you follow @pixuser later on. (Depending on how long the instance caches it.)

Likes and Reshares of external posts are local to their instance. Those won’t get sent to other instances. E.g. on my private GotoSocial I don’t see the correct amount of likes or reshares of posts from other instances. I’ll have to visit the posts on their original instance for that. (But then, I rarely care.)

Fediverse works like newsletters via email. If you search for an account on a different server, only the last few items are (sometimes) pulled and shown on your local instance. Only after subscribing/following that other account, you’ll get new(!) updates sent to your local server. For older messages, you’ll have to visit the other account’s server.

Maybe those 2 photos you see were shared with gram.social earlier.

For #1 a quick search spat out this.

For #2 have a look into XPenology.

Not to be confused with the original Web Intents.

They’re doing test rides already.

There were ads! But these were simple banner graphics of 468x60 pixels. In the worst case it was an animated GIF. But hosted on the same server as the page and without any tracking shenanigans.

Yep, back in the days the early bird price was $169 and MSRP was supposed to be $199. And now we’re looking at $225 pre-order price.

Silly season?

However, the analysis, commissioned by the Coalition Against Nitrites and undertaken by Food Science Fusion and the laboratory experts Rejuvetech, found the levels of nitrites in all 21 products were well below the 150mg/kg legal limit.
