This is just a guess, but I’d imagine that happens because the websites use JavaScript to load the actual content of the page, but Lemmy is just parsing the HTML that is returned.

Also, I really doubt you’d have much luck convincing website authors to completely change their architecture just to get previews to work on Lemmy.

You’re an Agnostic.

Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, the divine, or the supernatural is either unknowable in principle or unknown in fact.

Unless you’re working with people who are too smart, then sometimes the code only explains the how. Why did the log processor have thousands of lines about Hilbert Curves? I never could figure it out even after talking with the person that wrote it.

C was originally created as a “high-level” language, being more abstract (aka high-level) than the other languages at the time. But now it’s basically considered very slightly more abstract than machine code when compared to the much higher level high-level languages we have today.

For the purposes of data collection, the US basically isn’t foreign for AU: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

We tried that in the 90s, it went poorly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat#History

It supports them already, there just aren’t any provided by default. They’re called Bookmark Keywords: https://github.com/jameshealyio/bang-bookmarks

I’d suggest not importing all of them from that list though, there’s a crap load, just pick the ones you want and put them in manually.

Its a non-powered version of a hot shoe, both of which are the thing you use to mount an external flash that’s on the top of a lot of (all?) full sized cameras.

It’s for a hook to keep the handset on when the phone is mounted flat on a wall. It can usually be slid/folded down or removed when its not need.

You can only do that with Firefox Developer, can’t you? And IIRC, they self uninstall after a week or something, don’t they?

Oh, I’m confident(-ish) in my ability to review the code, but as I understand it I have no way to guarantee that the code that’s on github is the code that AMO installs. Plus updates are automatic, so I have no way to ensure that something malicious won’t be added anyway.

I keep thinking about installing this, but the required permissions seem a bit excessive:

This add-on needs to:

• Input data to the clipboard
• Access your data for all websites

Anyone know if the ‘All Access’ permission is really required for what this is doing? It just feels wrong. There isn’t some sort of “Control Navigation for These Domains” that it could request for each enabled site or something is there?

If you have any straight straws, you might want to hold them up to the light. They get pretty grody on the inside.

Eh, as someone who’s first software job was as an “Associate Software Enginner” while still in school (undergrad), I’m pretty sure I can say it’s not that cut and dry. I’ve actually never had a software job that didn’t use the “engineer” title. I’ve found “developer” and “engineer” are used interchangeably.

Yep, I did exactly that. I passed a class because the prof graded on a curve, but if he hadn’t no one would have passed, so I learned nothing. I went and talked to the prof that was teaching it the next semester, just before classes started, and he said it was fine fine to sit in as long as I didn’t come on any of the test days.

I suggest you go in person to ask, it might be something they’re not supposed to do, so if you ask in some way that leaves a paper trail, they might have to say no just to cover their ass.

Seems that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number#Country_or_region_codes

• W Germany (formerly West Germany)

Your thoughts.

(And to a lesser extent your actions, but that gets tougher to define since external factors will apply more there.)

The exact laws vary by state, but it’s always “get the fuck out the way, as quickly as you can while being as predictable as possible.”

I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to not stop (if that’s what you meant), but as far as I know, you’re not required to stop if you’re out of the way and not preventing anyone else from getting out if the way.

Is ublock a weird addon or something?

Yep. So far only a few officially blessed addons have been supported: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/4757633/7dfae8669acc4312a65e8ba5553036/

I think Mozilla was even going through and filling out the extension APIs on mobile based on what the extensions they wanted to support the most actually needed.

AFAIU, they’re now getting ready to open it up more broadly.

Meat doesn’t grow in the suburbs either though. Plus if you’re buying meat at a major supermarket, it probably didn’t even come from your state anyway. Your proximity to the nearest cow doesn’t have much to do with how far your steak came.
