Any religion that ever was, is or will be. Dumb for the people that fall for it, smart for the people that run it.

I like Lemmy enough that it has replaced Reddit for my general browsing.

I don’t like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I’ve read the post for the first time…

For example, I see a post with a few replies and want to see when more replies come in. All I can do is mark it as a favorite and try to remember to check back and see if there are new replies. What I’d like to have happen is be notified when new replies come in. Without this, I almost never follow up to posts because I don’t know what/when new replies come in. This really cuts down on the usefulness of lemmy for me wrt followup information.

Something I think is related is that after some time, I can’t click the x on a tab to close it, but I can do middle click (L & R at the same time) to close a tab. When this happens, I also can’t get into the address bar. Just started seeing this with the last update (currently on 139.0.1) snap version.

This looks very interesting. I looked at the “add-ons” page for Firefox and noticed under permissions it said “Access your data for all websites”. Why would it need to access all websites? Why not just when you access YouTube?

Mullvad does have split tunneling on Linux and Android. I don’t know about Windows.

The Mullvad browser is supposed to help to avoid fingerprinting. Mullvad Browser link

I use Kubuntu. I like the KDE desktop and I like a Debian based OS. If someone is going to make their software for Linux, it will almost certainly be available at least for Debian. If, say you want it for Arch, you need to wait for someone to put it in the AUR or build it yourself.

People won’t care until negative things start effecting them. Even at that point, many will still deny negative things are happening or they will put the blame somewhere else. This is why I believe things are going to have to get bad, really bad, before they can turn around. The biggest thing to go bad would be the economy. An economy so bad would be hard to deny and live with. Unfortunately, the more money you have, the longer you can “deal with” a bad economy, and still think everything is okay.

So often, the thing that is easy to measure is seen as important. In this case, the amount said is easy to measure. The quality of what is said is not easy to measure, but more important.

Religions… All of them.

I hope some day AI will be incorporated into a podcast player to be able to know the difference between an add and the podcast and automatically skip all adds. Finally, there would be a good use for AI :)

Project yourself 20 years into the future. Imagine yourself saying this to present day you. Then act on that advice. Much of these suggestions can apply to anyone at almost any age.

This is where we could use a browser plug in that uses AI to learn what an ad is and skip it for us. Now we just need someone to start working on it.

The ending of SOMA. I sometimes watch it on youtube just to enjoy it again. Note: the ending won’t mean anything to you if you don’t already know the story.

Next they will be using your web cam to take pictures of you because … reasons. Then they will turn on your mic and record so that if you verbalize thoughts that don’t make it to your computer screen you can recall those too. Where does it end? I don’t want to know.

RSS (RDF Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) It is in use a fair amount, but it is usually buried. Many people don’t know it exists and because of that I am afraid it will one day go away.

I find it a great simple way to stay up to date across multiple web sites the way I want to (on my terms, not theirs) By the way, it works on Lemmy to :)

Here is information about it

People need to stop thinking about Republicans vs. Democrats and starting think in terms of people vs. the government. We might be able to make positive change if we united.

Yes. You listen to music without knowing anything about who wrote it and you feel something. That feeling has nothing to do with the composer or performer. Now if you find out the composer/performer is a “bad” person, I would recommend not giving them any money that could contribute to them spreading their “bad stuff”. I’d still enjoy the music because your enjoyment isn’t furthering their bad agenda.

I wouldn’t recommend the Pinetab2 at this time. It isn’t fully functional.
