Why can’t they just leave it as it is? The lord of the rings movies were good but we don’t need more. The hobbit series was pretty terrible. I don’t think anyone is clamoring for more. Prequels are garbage that no one wants, and there’s nothing post trilogy anyone would care about.

There’s also always someone that says “I fixed it, thanks” and then doesn’t say how.

Does it count as tracking though? What private or personal data is it? I’d also say that it’s at the very least grey area since all they’re doing is trying to prevent people from using their service in unintended ways, ie without ads.

Their obvious solution to this is make you consent to it or you can’t use YouTube.

Absolutely not. It’s used everywhere on the web and other places.

Why, because they otherwise would get the same data that every other instance already gets?

This is a big nothingsauce. “Meta gets access to public fediverse data when meta joins fediverse” should be the title.

It was actually one of the most W3C compliant browsers there is, more so than chromium based ones. Unfortunately google’s near monopoly has made websites focus on working in chrome, not on standards.

Edge wasn’t always chromium. It was their own engine and it was great, but too many people complained essentially that it wasn’t chromium so they switched to chromium.

So what do you believe should be done for the people that break laws that you don’t deem prison worthy?

Include my commute time in my 7 hours of work a day. I’m not driving out of my own love of it, I’m driving because you’re requiring me to be in the office so it should count as time on your clock, not mine.

Also pay for my parking at work, and my petrol to get there and back.

There are renewable resource based plastics, like PLA that is used in 3D printers.

only difference is that there are is no word like “even” or “odd” for “divisible by three” or “not divisible by three”.

Yep, hence why 2 is unique - there is a word to describe numbers that are divisible by 2, and 2 is the only one of those that is a prime number.

It seems that you don’t know what the word “unique” means.

It’s unique because all the others are odd numbers. This is crazy that you’re trying to argue this.

I’m all for it. Any problem dogs won’t be allowed back in, and it’s nice having man’s best friend in the office.

Like what? Genuine question, have never heard of this.

Well 2 is the outlier because it’s the only even prime. It might not be “special” but it is unique out of all of the prime numbers.

No, I don’t. They chose to preemptively defederate from an instance because some people might maybe not actually break their rules but just talk about their ideologies that the precious admin didn’t agree with.

Why not just handle rule breakers if and when they break rules? Why ban an entire instance because you disagree with some of their ideologies?

Can you explain why you agree with their stance, if you do?

Much of this appearance is due to absurd modding unfortunately. Removing any comments that the mods disagree with so they can have their echo chamber is a good way to give the appearance of a happy and supportive place while actually being the opposite.

Reading the mod logs is an exercise in frustration in a lot of communities here, especially on certain instances.

Explaining the reason for making a decision doesn’t mean it’s an actual good reason btw.
