Hazzard

Yeah man, same boat. I actually do have NSFW disabled, but I've still blocked at least a dozen or two lemmynsfw communities for actresses, celebs, gentlemenboners, ladyboners, ladyladyboners, just a metric ton of SFW porn communities.

Would make things so much easier if I could outright block the instance, and heck, maybe I'd even turn on NSFW in that case.

Disturbing, and I hate it. No thanks!

Not ok with anything that normalizes giving companies access to my camera feed for basic actions. No matter how well intentioned.

My money is on this one. Once we find a more sustainable way to get meat, and that scales to the globe, whatever that method is, I think the idea of keeping animals only to kill then will quickly be viewed as abhorrent.

Likely won't be as quick as within 20 years, however. Lots of companies currently making a fortune selling meat who will stand in the way of that.

Thank you! I've just been browsing with NSFW turned off, but: A) I actually would rather turn on the blur function if there wasn't literal porn throughout the "all" feed. B) A bunch of mild soft core stuff like "pretty women" and "celebs" gets through anyway.

Can't believe it never occurred to me to use the block button to shape the all feed.

Gotta be Google Play Music I'm still bitter about. YouTube music doesn't hold a candle to it, and I've never quite been as happy with Spotify or Apple Music. Getting YT Premium with a good music service was great too, but they shot themselves in the foot.

And there's was just... no reason for it. They even delayed its death when they realized how crap YT Music was, and then later just... decided to do it anyways.

Is this whole comment section really about one comment from six years ago, where all he stated is that he's grateful his wife wasn't aborted (I'm assuming that was considered)?

Because I find it hard to take that as all that damming. From the tone of the conversation here, I was expecting several comments over the years stating extremes like that abortion should be illegal, or that rape victims should be denied access to it.

Do we even know that he knew about any of this scandal with March for Life in 2017? Especially if he's not supported it since (which I assume this article would bother to include if he had?)

I've recommended it to my friends, but they've instead chosen to take the fall of Reddit as an opportunity to just... step back from the internet. One friend just... isn't browsing Reddit at all on mobile anymore, and is instead just using old.reddit.com on desktop, and culled most of the subs he used to follow, keeping only some small communities.

I respect it, but still feel something like Reddit has a place in my life, but have no faith whatsoever in Reddit itself, and the apps are better here, so I'm completely switched over. I imagine they may still move here in time. Lemmy is a part of my life now, so I'll continue to mention it and share links to things from it, but I've no desire to force the issue.

TL;DR: People like searching for answers to their question from Reddit, since it's got upvotes and a lot of subreddit answers to niche opinion questions. Reddit is one of the most popular search keywords, and is unreliable right now.

Also recaps several other recent Reddit headlines, which I'm sure you've seen if you're hanging out in this subreddit.

What a fantastic read! Quite funny throughout, and genuinely insightful.

Don't love the framing of this paragraph from TechCrunch. It's not that they're charging for the API. That's understandable and obvious, and we all wanted the platform to survive. I'll be happy to volunteer to contribute to lemmy development/server costs/app development one day. It's that they're grossly overcharging for the API to such an extreme degree that paid subscriptions to third party apps actually lose money.

In April, Reddit announced its plans to start charging developers to access data through its API. The move was obvious — to restrict third parties from accessing Reddit data that can help build text-generating machine learning models such as OpenAI’s GPT 4. Developers building apps and bots to assist people using Reddit and researchers who wish to study the platform for noncommercial purchases were among the few exceptions. However, as a result, third-party apps, including popular Reddit client Apollo, found it difficult to pay for those charges and decided to go offline. Various popular subreddit moderators came in support of those apps and developers and started protesting against the API pricing move.

Oof, so counterproductive. I'm a hard reviewer, always try to hold others to the standard of code I'd like to work in, and be held to myself, but every once in a while I see a PR that's just... no changes required.

I love just hitting accept without making any feedback, it means my coworker valued my feedback and actually internalized it. Trying to laser in and nitpick something unnecessary would be a waste of all our time.

I used an extension a while ago that changed CSS colour values (#ababab) into little coloured dots, that became a colour picker when clicking on them (while still letting you input RGB or Hex, ofc), and it was pretty awesome!

So, I could unironically see this being really nice. Although... I think this would need a pretty narrow context, something like if x == true would look pretty confusing as a toggle, I imagine. But assigning x = true? Bring it on.
