Labour movements, maybe?

There’s definitely an aspect of catharsis in showing that kind of person how much better at the video game you are though. I don’t play a lot of PvP but when I do, and everything clicks, I absolutely get it

Who in the world asked for Carmen Sandiego

Vegetables don’t exist as a block I can cut slices of, fry, and put in a sandwich.

Well eggplant does but if I’m buying canned spam substitute I’m not in the mood for breading something.

Spam is just pork sausage in a rectangle.

To many, federation is a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist for them. In their mind, the early model of federation is like email, a problem that was “solved” years ago by having one corporate product that was much better than others (Gmail).

To add, on top of that, the fediverse is like if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there’s nothing any user can do about it except make another email for when they want to email outlook users.

I don’t think fediverse proponents know just how catastrophically this terminates their entire pitch in the minds of 99% of internet users

I started on beehaw and moved here because they got too defederation-happy. I don’t want to post on an antisocial network, if I want to be alone with my thoughts I won’t go online at all. It’s a valid choice for them to make but I believe in Lemmy because I want a non-corporate non-evasive Reddit, which kinda needs lots of different communities.

Studies have shown that cats do not absorb adequate amounts of these nutrients from synthetic supplemented versions, it’s why vegan pet food that is technically nutritionally complete in the bag isn’t when it’s in the cat.

Vegans should instead opt for a non-carnivorous pet

If there’s cat food out there that’s nutritional complete, cats like it, and it happens to be plant based - so what?

Because the vegan cat food that claims to be nutritionally complete isn’t. Whenever these brands have their products studied they turn out to not be nutritionally complete. Feeding them to a cat is abuse.

Pokemon red/blue are contenders if you count the JP release.

Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful

Brave randomizes the output of fingerprinting techniques like canvas rendering, system fonts, installed devices, etc in a way that makes you look like a real, consistent user providing real data that still allows the site to work, while still changing the output from one session to the next enough that sites can’t tell you’re the same person.

Firefox claims to block all this but if you check their site they explain how it actually works:

Firefox protects users against fingerprinting by blocking all third-party requests to companies that are known to participate in fingerprinting

We’ve partnered with Disconnect to provide this protection. Disconnect maintains a list of companies that participate in cross-site tracking, as well a list as those that fingerprint users.

This does nothing to actually disguise you. It’s the equivalent of putting a paper bag over your head when you think there’s a security camera. You stand out because of the bag and you don’t know where all the cameras are so you’re still being tracked when you don’t know it.

I hate the idea of Brave because Chromium’s dominance will ruin the web but Firefox does not protect us.

I would be more okay with this if Firefox did more to block the tracking techniques that advertisers are currently using. They block third party cookies and compartmentalize social media cookies which is fine but they do almost nothing to stop the more insidious tracking techniques like device fingerprinting.

Mozilla really wants to push me to Brave

We just need a way to make it easy to seamlessly transfer both users and communities to another instance then it really won’t matter if one gets disproportionately large because a shutdown won’t affect anything. Ideally the inner workings should be as invisible to the end user as possible.

Same thing happened to me. 7-day ban evasion suspension instantly into a perma on three accounts at once all because a single subreddit mod threw a fit when I accidentally posted there again off r/all on an alt.

They were all made with the same email address so I could have easily made another alt by now and kept posting but I’ve taken it as an opportunity to do a Reddit detox

To me it feels like Reddit but before Reddit became so popular. That has both good and bad aspects, but overall I enjoy posting here.

Yup, every Reddit screw up is an opportunity to get more users here.
