… and the rest, greed.

Maybe they are in bed with ISPs.

omg you’ll be among the saviors of the world, given the way bees are going according to the news.

*Not Bitcoin.

Why not? Otherwise, there are CBDCs purportedly under way, but I haven’t read about them in probably half a year or longer, come to think of it…

I have still quite literally found no other tool, even paid products, that can interior-crop the way IrfanView can (select row/column Y in XYZ if the entire image was XYZ, and crop out that inner part and auto-tuck X and Z directly against each other). And it’s had this feature for decades, I think.

Since it’s already a Pandora’s box as it is, at least open-source is the least-worst way to go. All closed-source models are evil(er).

True, there’s no way to do a clean merge like we can with multiple KeePass password databases… or can we?

By the way, I now use AdNauseam, which is a uBO fork, but I can’t find how to access the color grid in your screenshots. Would you happen to know how to get to it?

Are you willing to share what any of these “custom additions” means?

Interesting. Is there a way to port NoScript settings into uBO?

I’m too stupid impatient to understand complex coding concepts…

Interesting, then this is better than NoScript. I’m just a bit rattled by the uBO soft-takedown by Manifest v3 or whatever it was that had happened last year and am concerned about uBO, like, dying or something. What do you think is its future? If it still seems stable enough then I guess I’ll drop NoScript for it.

And then on that note, would you be willing to share your settings of the scripts you’ve deemed comfortable, as a shortcut for other newbs like me who are just getting on board with all this? It’d be much appreciated if so! Either way, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, it’s getting addicting! I just found so much JS that is totally unneeded to watch Paramount+:

What the hell is all this crap? Man… so much tracking going on. All the DEFAULTs are blocked and the TV I’m watching still loads perfectly fine. And if you try to go to the stepcattle.com one out of pure curiosity, uBlock warns you against it, yet robots prevent any info on it from appearing in search engines… capitalist bastards…

Wow, incredible! Thanks, I had no idea.

Gmail, Google Voice, Google Calendar, and WhatsApp Web are always pinned. Everything else is contextual!

Add the add-on/extension NoScript to her browser and at least have it block fbsbx.com, which seems to be totally unnecessary to allow, as the rest of the website seems to still function perfectly fine.

There are attendees who are both younger and older than me (mid-30s). To be fair, the group already gets <10 people per event on average, so I don’t think I could risk the slice right now. If we grew to over double that, then maybe I could revisit the topic.

why are people still using facebook?

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

What about dentists, doctors, programmers, etc.?

I feel like this should be more about those involved in the upper echelons of megacorps.

And mere sex is the way to do it? What about laws restricting social media from being as predatory and anxiety-/depression-contributing towards young people, as has been well-documented over the past, entire decade? As that other Lemmy user said, where is your scientific evidence that younger sex is the way beyond just your own opinion? Encouraging sex without solving the hypercapitalist issue is just pouring more gas on the dumpster fire, if anything.

Ironically… I myself found this through Reddit, no joke! But yeah, I hope to sway more people here.
