Can we all put our clicks together and make an effort to erase the swastika around (70,857)

It’s not perfect, but being super configurable does help.

This seems like sound logic 👍

Vivaldi is definitely cool — except for the amount of RAM it uses. If it weren’t for that, I would use it a lot more, but for me, Firefox is just faster all around.

Solid cologne?? Ok now I must Google. Never heard of such

I’ve seen Duke Cannon in lots of brick-and-mortar stores.

Is this something I should Google, or…. maybe I shouldn’t?

@Tygr @herpderpedia Kbin does not support !community links just yet, but it’s in the works on some level. Linking to Lemmy communities from here can’t really be done without the full URL, which does mean one would have to provide two links - one that works on Kbin, and one that points to the original instance.

In related news, linking to Kbin magazines is currently a bit borked as well, because the only other syntax that works (@magname) is assumed to refer to a user account and not a magazine.

That’s a good point, lol.
No, according to The Verge’s article, they say that users don’t like the current system:

“First, many don’t appreciate the clutter from awards (50+ awards right now, but who’s counting?) and all the steps that go into actually awarding content. Second, redditors want awarded content to be more valuable to the recipient.”

And there are hints as to what may be slated to replace it:

While Reddit hasn’t specified what the new system might look like, Android Authority may have dug up some clues. Based on code in the Reddit’s Android app, Reddit appears to be working on a “contributor program” that would let users cash out gold or karma (basically, points you get for posts, comments, or giving awards) they receive into real money. Reddit didn’t respond to a request for comment sent Wednesday about Android Authority’s article.

OTOH, this post in r/ModCoord posits a different explanation:

By getting rid of awards, Reddit is unloading a business liability. Because all those existing coins could buy ad-free Reddit.

This is a very contentious topic right now, and it’s not clear at the moment whether votes will remain public or be made private. There are some very vocal proponents on both sides.

And yet somehow they say that’s their reasoning - that they’re trying to become profitable.

No idea. Maybe hosts typically follow a policy of not snooping in stored files without a ticket requesting or authorizing it implicitly or explicitly. At least that would make sense to me.

AFAIK, web hosting clients here in the US don’t really have any expectation of privacy from their host itself.

This is true. I know of one that doesn’t care but I’d prefer not to out them even though a lot of people surely know already.

But how could a provider find out, if they are one that cares? Well, they could sniff all their network traffic, do some SPI/DPI on it, store those logs, and run automated analysis on them periodically.

Even then, they’re not going to do the job of, say, the RIAA or MPAA for them. So in most cases, the only way a host would find you out on their own is things like high storage usage (maybe), high amounts of commonly-pirated file types, and high usage of certain protocols (like torrent). Outside of that, probably nothing would happen until your host gets a DMCA notice.

The coverage shouldn’t change at all. They’ve always been on T-Mobile’s towers.

Should we be surprised at this, after the whole Anti-Meta Pact thing got so much traction? Like on one hand we don’t want to federate with them, but on the other we’re unhappy when they won’t?

They’re pretty different, in that one platform has an API and the other doesn’t. 😉

@cody has been doing some work revamping parts of the UI, including the voting buttons. See his post here and let him know what you think.

This is the most correct answer, because it results in the phone being in the correct orientation in your hand when you take it out. fite me.

Federation was turned back on well before this was posted. Like probably a day or two or three ago.
