Back in the day KDE’s UI was very much a clone of Windows, but with even more dialogs and lists. I’m still put off by that experience twenty years later.

signing away all your legal protections

Does that include protection from false advertising, eh?

From what I know about the US, this entire thread seems like a wet dream of a lawyer working on commission.

Cory Doctorow spoke of it in 2011 (transcript here).

Get yourself the ‘auto discard tabs’ extension.

Tbf Firefox seems to have started using much more memory a year or so ago: I could easily hit over 200 tabs, now fifty are a problem. Though it could just be me having switched to the developer edition.

Aladdin (original)

The original you say.

Eh, I draw a distinction between oldschool visual recognition and matching some keywords, versus full-blown LLMs. I used ‘AI’ to mean the latter in my comment above, as intended by the post itself. I also have doubts about the effectiveness of the older approaches in regard to the uses that I mentioned.

What indicates that Piefed does this on the client side?

Those who can read articles, know that the new CEO said in the original interview that there will be the option to turn the AI features off.

Reading is useful, more people should learn to do it.

You reminded me that one use for AI I’d really like is removing all photos of Trump, Musk and Putin from my screen. Another is filtering the twenty reposts of every event in US politics and the incessant whining about prices. Alas, I need these in phone apps more than the browser.

Several people from Novaya Gazeta founded the offshoot Novaya Gazeta Europe, which continues to work from Latvia, in both Russian and English.

I recommend donating to them if you’d like to support independent reporting in Russia, seeing as Russians and Russian advertisers can’t do that anymore.

Meduza is another outlet that could use your support. They were previously known as Gazeta.ru and Lenta.ru, both of which were captured by pro-government oligarchs. Meduza, in contrast, is owned by its journalists. They were likewise persecuted by the government and had to move out sometime before 2022, so now also can’t take money from Russia despite living on donations and grants.

A couple others are Mediazona and Important Stories.

The original Novaya Gazeta also seems to be current and uncensored, even though they previously stopped in 2022 and apparently work from Russia according to the site’s footer. Dunno anything about that.

The ‘ka’ takes into account that ‘o’ tends to be pronounced as ‘ah’ when not in a stressed syllable (analogous to the schwa in English). But it’s not necessary, ‘ko’ would be more correct to the spelling and so better for international speakers.

Dunno at all where the ‘g’ came from.

KeePass also supports merging new entries from a database. Helpful for paranoiacs like me, who don’t let any other program touch the database, but are too lazy to not add an entry on the phone occasionally.

One example is HTTP signatures.

Why is it the first time I hear of this?

Ah, because it’s apparently a fresh proposal, perhaps from Mastodon themselves.

As they aren’t running in tor or i2p they can’t send you stuff.

A server can run on both the clearnet and darknet simultaneously, but indeed I don’t think that works that well if the server name is the identifier for an instance — since it would be different between the networks.

The server to server protocol has a bunch of assumptions that are not true for tor and i2p.

Could you please elaborate just a bit? I’m a web dev, but haven’t looked into fediverse protocols yet.

I didn’t know it was possible to anonymise an entire instance

I mean, that works pretty much like any server on the web, now that most communication is done via http. However, websockets, http/2 and /3 might break, I guess, when they expect a continuous connection.

(Dunno which underlying protocols Lemmy uses, so can’t guarantee that it’s really that easy.)

Hitler personally disliked Fraktur and gave a speech against it in 1934. It continued to be used as ‘the true German script’ until 1941, when the party did a 180 and banned it under the pretext that it wasn’t Fraktur, but Schwabacher, a similar blackletter script, which they called ‘Jewish letters’.

Moreover, it was banned so hard that cursive scripts Kurrent and Sütterlin were forbidden as well. As a result, people educated after 1941 often couldn’t read handwritten letters and notes of their ancestors.
