I mean, you are not entitled to people being soldiers in your war against Big Tech. Like, I'd be totally for it, but some other time, nowadays I'm resting and being creative. Speaking of, not everyone here laps the crotch of Spotify et al. I'm a proud (but modest) pirate.

But the right solution is inconstitutional and anti-corporate! Even socialist and maybe even "woke"! So, this is the option TPTB are leaving us with.

Don't like it? The second most useful thing to do compared to this is to ready your guillotine. That is the language they understand.

Oh yeah that should be cheap considering Cuba is right around the corner, for example.

Pros: you get to be your own boss.

Cons: you get to be your own employee.

I plan to keep using my current 2015-ish phone to watch my media at home, so it's likely I'll keep off of AV1 until phones are made somehow hardware upgradable (Fairphone?). Plus, in a general sense, in order to reacquire new media in a better codec you have to at least keep the old media around until you have finished verifying the new, otherwise you run the risk of ending up with no good copy.

By being moved to the main Wordpress branch, where everything has been known to be hackable since 1999, rather than staying in Tumbr's however-modified branch where probably some exploits don't work or have unexpected results.

Oh fair point.

Feel free to hire the admins then!

~~Wait, that might have come out wrong...~~

Changing the source code of the browser, unfortunately. I don't know what Tor Browser does or how, but basically you'd have to do about the same as they do.

Oh boy my tumblr will be now 518% more hackable!

to make the whole ecosystem more mature and professional?

Feel free to hire the devs?

Your restored window size is even more unique than your maximised window size!

The correct solution is to just not make the window size available to JS or to remotes at all. There's no reason to ever need specifics on window size other than CSS media-queries, and those can be done via profiles.

WebGL

I wish Firefox had a per-site or per-domain preference for WebGL (as well as for wasm, etc), the same way we have per-site cookies or notifs preferences. It'd help clear most issues regarding this.

 

Con todas las noticias sobre el cambio climático y ahora los "nuevos términos" (never has been) como el "río atmosférico" y otros misceláneos, para qué estamos con cosas - uno debería sentirse preocupado.

Pero para suerte mía, vivo como 100 km fuera de la zona que pega estos sistemas frontales, igual llueve su harto pero me salvé. Y cuando veo que en los noticieros ahora se pegan con el "río informático" como nueva muletilla, que nos falta agüita, que nos volvimos flojos con la sequía, que el niño no que la niña etc etc, pues yo me acuerdo de esta escena de una película vieja de Pokémon.

(Parece que el próximo finde las voy a ver negras eso sí)

Y eso feddit, ¿cómo están con el agüita?

 

More or less title.

The idea is, one can already excise the corporation social media somewhat, or limit their reach into your content, if you self-host your social media (or at least if you participate in the Fediverse, say on Mastodon Lemmy etc) and instead link or cross post to corporate ones such as say Twitter or Discord.

But I'm looking for something to self-host that is better geared to do this with small snippets of text that (mostly) stand by themselves. Something that would fit in a original!tweet or even smaller and would not have much use for the "conversation workflow" UI of corporate social media.

The two use cases I'm aiming for are:

  • instead of posting something creative directly on eg.: Reddit or Discord (by which in the latter it would get locked and lost in that blackhole), I just post it in $THINGY and then link it on Reddit / Discord. That way I also retain license.
  • having a "local" archive of my comments on various stuff that I can tag, query or consult on, or even easily share with other people.

At first I thought "maybe what I'm looking is micro-blogging" but on second thought it feels like I'm looking for something even smaller than that? I'm not at all sure, so I thought to ask around here what would you guys self-host for this kind of thing or if it's even a Thing.

Cheers.
