It's so ridiculous when corporations steal everyone's work for their own profit, no one bats an eye but when a group of individuals do the same to make education and knowledge free for everyone it's somehow illegal, unethical, immoral and what not.

Under the same umbrella, instagram is dead unless you're selling something.

Instagram is far from dead. It is quite popular in South Asia and actually the social media of choice for many teens.

All of the games ever played on lichess along with puzzles, evaluations etc are also open and free to download at database.lichess.org

The site's founder and lead developer Thibault also often streams the development of the site on his Twitch channel!

I'm honestly suprised sometimes at how free, open and transparent this site is, truly an inspiration for anyone looking to build an ethical platform.

Personally, I initially started with following accounts of some companies or softwares that I use or am passionate about like The Fedora Project, The Tor Project, Bitwarden, Blender, Proton, some game engines (and their creators) etc. You can usually find their mastodon handles on their website and/or somewhere on their twitter profiles.

After that I branched out from there gradually, following people as I found them in discussions, the explore page and through some 3rd party discovery tools as well like "Followgraph for Mastodon" which looks up all the people you follow on Mastodon and then the people they follow then it sorts them by the number of mutuals.

You only see posts from people you follow, you can just unfollow (or mute/block) whoever you don't like to see on your timeline. If you're scrolling the trending/explore page then maybe you should try switching servers or just stick to the home feed which has toots only from the accounts you follow.

Matthias Ott (@matthiasott@mastodon.social)! I personally find his OwnYourWeb blog/newsletter really helpful as a newbie (comparatively) looking to setup my own webpage and blog.

@Frellwit@lemmy.world is right, the following FAQ is from the uBO's YouTube Mega Thread on reddit.

How often should I manually update filter lists? Can I somehow automate this?

YouTube filters are in a list named uBlock filters - Quick fixes. The list updates every 12 hours. It's the only list you might need to update - only if this page says it's fixed, but you're getting the message.

If you're not getting detected. Don't update. Current estimated cost for just ONE of uBO's CDNs: HERE. This is with other lists updating every few days. uBO's not a company, it's a volunteer project using free services, which have limits that we cannot cross.

Yeah, I just looked at the article and then found the NewPipe blog post dated 5 Dec so I though it was a new release. My mistake.

The official blog post that I linked in the body is from 5^th^ of December, tho?

Oh wow, I didn't know it's used for research and policy discussions as well! That's pretty neat.

They don't, though? Who's forcing you to install a proprietary 2FA app in India. Unless you're saying in general.

Yup, it says 390 million for Twitter, you might have mixed it up with LinkedIn's 930 million.
