This is so true. It costs more money for the server power required for something like that to be pulled off.

There's a comment in this thread going all crazy complaining about it being costly to host anything on the protocol to stop Bluesky from dominating it and everything. But im like "uhh yeah, servers and storage costs money".

It's just so weird how everyone thinks hosting popular sites should be free.

Yeah companies try to be fancy with these JavaScript heavy applications using React when sites work perfectly fine without all that stuff.

Yeah my car is about 13 years old. Still has CD player. Will drive it until I die.

Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn't sound too "techy", not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

Didn't someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Ok you've peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It's almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

 

Brave used to have an option to disable autoplaying of videos on web pages. But now the option is removed. I found discussions on Brave forums from users asking about it, but no one from the Brave team responds. (see this, this, and this).

I really don't want to believe Brave is intentionally being silent about this, but it's kinda obvious.

Anyone know anything about it?

 

And it applies across your entire SL account. Seems very easy to hit, given that people use SL to curb influxes of inbound email spam.

If you go over the limit, they start throttling your emails (delivering them late).

 

Came across this interesting article. But what do you all think?

 

HUGE win for EU and for Developers with apps in Apple's App store! 🚀

 

This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

 

I noticed that every time I visit the site, I have to log in. I remember not having to do this a few days ago. I was assuming a cookie was being set for a timeframe until I explicitly log out. I can't remember if there was a "remember me" button. I'm using Firefox and tried disabling my extensions, but that didn't seem to help.

Anyone know why sh.reddit.com exists? Is it something they plan to use in future? ATM, it just looks justlike reddit.com with a few small style differences.

 

I'm a dev and I was browsing Mozilla's careers page and came across this. I find a privacy respecting company being interested in building an AI powered recommendation engine a little odd. Wouldn't they need to sift through the very data we want private in order for a recommendation engine to be good? Curious of what others think.
