Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

Yeah open rss has Lemmy feeds that always link to the instance of your choosing.

What do you mean by multi communities?

Look at the frameworks go!!! I know I know. "its not a framework"...

The clients are called "RSS readers". Most blog sites have RSS feeds you can add to it. And there are services that can easily generate RSS feeds for websites that don't already have them.

I never really understood how cross posting works here. You mind telling us the benefits? Does it consolidate all of the discussions in each cross post into one big long thread? 🤔

A website can access another site's cookies if the first party domain explicitly allows them, which would need to happen in this case. Sure, admins would have to allow which sites can access the cookie. But at least that burden is placed on admins vs the users.

Browser extensions arent secure and many mobile browsers dont support them, so that wouldnt be a proper solution. A lot of users use Lemmy on their mobile phones.

Sites can still have third-party cookies. The first party domain just needs to explicitly allow them.

Was about to ask if there was a way to do this automatically. Does anyone know why this isn't baked into the Lemmy codebase? I'm thinking this would be pretty easy with browser cookies. 🤔

Does anyone know how this could affect Brave? I've suggested it for non-tech Google Chrome refugees who find Firefox difficult to use.

Interesting take I can appreciate, but hold on there...

This community here seems to have largely sided with ScarJo. Which means that they want famous people to receive a rent for lending out their voices

I dont think that's what they mean at all. I doubt people care about ScarJo growing her bank account. I think most people who side with ScarJo just dont want Open AI stealing stuff it doesnt own, including people's voices. Especially if they're profiting off it.

This is an interesting perspective, and I very much see how people can have it. Totally agree that the internet just isn't like it used to be, arguably for the worst, depending on who you ask.

As much as I hate these big tech platforms, the issue isn't that they're doing what they're doing. After all, capitalistic societies (especially the US) don't just ignore it, they actually encourage this sort of "money above all else" mentally that a lot of these CEOs and shareholders have. So what platforms are doing shouldn't surprise anyone. Maybe some of it should be made illegal, but I'd argue making new laws still won't really address the problem.

The real problem is that we (everyday people) need to take more responsibility over the mental health of ourselves and our children and just stop using this brain-rotting software. We can complain about what they're doing to humanity all we want, but if we continue to use these platforms, we're just making it easier for them to do the bad things they do.

Genuine question: how do we actually "kill the big fish" though? Majority are going to continue to use big tech out of convenience and because they dont care much.
