Didn’t Microsoft just recently get a law suit for such practices or am I mixing it up with Google (who now can’t pay Mozilla anymore to ship their browser with google as the default search engine)?

What kind of data does listenbrainz and last.fm store and what are they used for?

Also doesn’t display anything without javascript

I personally use tankie.tube.

I don’t think ð was pronounced exactly the same way as thSeems like I was thinking of other languages where they were/are pronounced differently.

Linux is the kernel, not the OS. RedStar uses Linux as the kernel.

Btw, what is a non-local RSS reader? I have come across multiple that RSS readers that advertise being “self-hosted” and I’m confused about that since in my mind RSS readers are simply clients that periodically query different servers for an .rss file, so I’m confused about where there is anything to host besides the host of the .rss feed.

Yeah I also never reached the end, though I imagine if playing multiplayer, with enough players and time, that then at some point there won’t be any untouched land.

I like my toots.

I didn’t know who she was, so I just assumed it was true and that she was just another celebrity sponsored by a VPN company.

I’m using both.

I installed NoScript just a few days ago, because I’m forced to use a really weak computer that struggles to even browse the modern web. I feel like NoScript improved it a lot, and while quite a few websites broke (including lemmy) (but most will still display the content), I just set the ones that I need working to trusted, but the performance is still good (I should note I’m also using it in conjunction with an automatic tab discarter).

I however also don’t directly use Google. Both SearX and Yandex don’t need javascript, so I’m unaffected by these news, despite being a bit mad about it as a reflection of the direction the web is going as a whole.

Let’s hope some day this bug gets fixed: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/71929

I couldn’t run it because of that bug back when I tried it.

German has the term raubkopieren for piracy which translated literally means theft-copying. I kind of find that term funny because somehow it makes it sound even worse than just piracy, since with pirates we at least have the pop fiction image of the pirate, and because it has a paradoxical sound to it (“how can you steal something by copying?”).

I think a prime example of hexbear wholesomeness is their trans megathreads: https://hexbear.net/post/3363552

They even have a community to help each other out: !mutual_aid@hexbear.net

I do see Lemmy.world running into issues in the future

I think lemmy.world is already pretty bad. To get away from their posts and comments I’ve considered joining hexbear, since you people honestly have the best content and most wholesome community and aren’t federated with .world, but I also don’t want to be completely isolated from the rest of the fediverse. However, I just noticed there are only 5 instances in hexbear’s blocked instance list and plenty in the linked list. Maybe I didn’t notice how all other instances started federating with hexbear again?

I don’t know what the “allowed” instance list means though.

How long is their lifespan usually?

It goes beyond just showing what part of day you are in. Everything is reduced to angles. You don’t have to do any math with numbers, just look how much the pointer has to move to see how much time is left until an event you are interested in, and you get to visually compare that angle with the entire half of a day to get an even better perception of the passage of time.

I used to have one, but now I set my phone clock to be displayed as an analogue clock so that kind of made it obsolete, since it now has all the benefits of an analogue display with the additional advantage of automatically syncing time and adjusting for time zones and daylight saving time.

Being able to know exactly the time in a moment’s glance seems better to me.

That seems more like a pro for analogue to me. It’s much easier with an analogue clock since you get a visual presentation of time. Whenever someone tells me a time, I have to first imagine an analogue clock to understand what that time means.
