All the Gen-Zers made me get it because they were loathe to communicate on the elderly platform of Twitter (even though they were all on Periscope). But of course, now they’ve largely moved on to god knows where and I still throw down the occasional sunset pic for the ones that show up a couple times a week.
To me this sounds like either your GPU acceleration is off or is choking somehow. I’d start with checking your GPU acceleration settings and updating your drivers if they aren’t the latest. If that doesn’t work, maybe try FF with a fresh config to see if it’s a setting you’ve enabled?
HTML5 is a perfectly valid technology when used for good purposes though? Their zoomable charts are fine as long as it is enabled. I don’t think they’re using them for tracking, just to make it easier to enable certain technologies.
The company I work for does all our interactive lessons in HTML5 Canvas via Animate CC. When Flash was EOL’d it saved us from having to redo literally thousands of lessons completely.
Yeah, I guess to a degree? This all came about because I went to fingerprint.com and realized they could track across VPN etc. was trying to figure out how to block it and that came up. And since not many sites use HTML5 canvas, I had long forgotten I enabled it by the time I hit a corrupted looking graphics site.
I think in the end it shows they really need a better way to inform you what is going in than striped lines instead of a canvas graphic. Something that prompts you to either allow HTML5 canvas or that at least has a message/image you can google for further info in the issue easily.
Yeah, as stated, only for sites you trust.
I was enabling it on at a cycling site that uses HTML5 Canvas to make their charts of how long chain lubricants last zoomable, haha.
Yeah if it even drew something like “Canvas approval needed to see this image” or just the dang icon in the location bar that would be a start.
If you’re into Insta, be sure and check out PixelFed.
Interesting. I do visit a few websites regularly but I guess I’ve always just kept the tabs open in Safari and called it a day. (And Safari just stays in permanent Privacy mode so that as much tracking data is flushed as possible each time I close a tab.)
Interesting. Personally I’ve been using Mlem with great success on iOS.
I have literally never used a web app from the 3gs to this day. No idea why people think this is such a huge deal?
I’m chipping in $2 a month as it is…
Aha, I did indeed miss the “external storage” row—mostly because it only uses the “Tb” acronym quite late in the description. I think the difference between Firewire and USB-C is minimal? (ie they are both “fast enough”) but I guess having wifi is a step up (although I always still plug my phone in to transfer music at this point so…)
This is insanely priced, particularly when you see that it literally loses on everything but battery life compared to the original iPod 5gb, let alone the Classic.
I kind of wish there was a way to “forward” your community if you realize someone else is doing a better job in a different instance too. So essentially all your users and traffic would just redirect to the other instance from that point on.
I am subscribed to like 3 different printsf communities and only one is even halfway active at this point. Would be nice if there was a way to consolidate under one banner.
This. This is why I am in the “I still buy CDs” camp. DL the album and if I’m still listening to it a couple days later I buy the CD, assuming the artist still even releases on CD…
This brings up an interesting point. On Mastodon, besides Block User, there is also a Block Instance option. Will we ever see that on Lemmy? Seems like an easy way to resolve what has been a big issue for me (and obviously other people too).
Aka, you don’t really want to start over on another instance (hey, not migration tools yet!) but you also don’t really want to see posts from a specific server any more. Rather than people having to lobby the server admins about whether or not to defederate, wouldn’t it just be easier to allow user-level instance blocking? (I know I say “just” while knowing zip about how hard that as in the back end, but yes, from a logistics perspective, seems like you could make a lot of spam-level requests leave the admin’s plates by implementing this.)
I feel like it is very unlikely it was Eweka if all the files were incomplete/corrupted? They very rarely are with that service. Stuff that is like 6 or 8 years old comes down fine from there quite frequently.
I will say that if the show you are looking for is by a large enough company, they may have hired a takedown service that will delete just enough files to cause the entire thing to be corrupt depending on the newsgroup provider. Mainstream usenet service providers get hit the worst. If it’s something you really want to see, you may only have a few hours to DL it before it is corrupted in that case.
If you turn on resist fingerprinting then supposedly yes. It does pass the test with fingerprint.com then. Assuming you’re using a VPN of course.
I’ve been running with resist fingerprinting enabled for about a year and aside from the annoyance of having all your new windows spawn at a very small fixed size, the only major issue is knowing that for some websites to work you may have to enable HTML5 canvas for them. (It’s an icon that will appear in the location bar and you will know to look for if things that are supposed to be graphics in the web page are just a bunch of striped boxes instead.)
