I didn’t read Solrize’s comment as saying “There shouldn’t be paywalls,” just asking the very legitimate question as to how they will interact with federation.

Interestingly, 404 just solved something kinda related: they developed a way for subscribers to get a custom RSS feed address, so they can access paywalled articles directly in their RSS reader. TMK, they are the first publication to do this. I imagine they would do something similar for federation. (I believe that if any of the custom RSS feeds show huge traffic numbers, 404 shuts it down, but I’m not sure)

There’s a push to get OpenReads to work with BookWyrm

I’m confused. I’ve been using this extension for years on desktop without this issue. I think it has an option where you can install a companion conversion app on your machine and bypass the QR code. Am I mistaken?

It’s not real but I don’t understand who benefits from faking this

Reader View is working for me with that website. The only issue is that it writes out the phrase “link opens in New tab” after every link.

Do you have cookie settings or extensions that might be interfering with something?

Thank you for this great tool!

Is there a way I could use this to find a Lemmy instance that let’s me interact with desired instances? For example:

• I want to participate in Instance A, B, and C.
• A has defederated from B and C
• can I generate a list of instances that let’s me interact with A, B, and C? Then I’ll move my account there.

Thank you!

If you’re talking news media, much of their worst behavior is rooted in the ad-driven business model. Subscriptions would actually help make things better. Not sure if there’s a way to leverage the fediverse for a subscription play, though

I can install any app I want on my Mac. How is this different?

Here’s the one I used:

Never mind, I fixed it! For anyone who wants to do the same: Inside the Tree Style Tab / All Configs menu, I had to uncheck “FaviconizePinned Tabs”.

Now all my pinned tabs are stacked on top of each other. Not quite what I was going for, but acceptable.

Lol yes, 2 days ago

Yep, they sent me the same thing

Thank you. As someone who is very interested in Linux, and someone who has proselytized my tech choices in the past (“Everyone should use Signal”), one of my big fears about switching to Linux is that I’ll never shut up about it, and I’ll bore my friends.

Thank you for showing me that there is another way

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, because you’re making a ton of sense. It’s not about Tim Pool, who is a dumb incel POS. It’s about the HUGE dangers of giving a company unilateral power to ban someone based solely on speech.

What if Bandcamp’s new owners are more like Facebook? They could ban work that promotes women’s rights and abortion access, which is exactly what Facebook has done.

What if Bandcamp’s new owners (or the owners after them) are more like Twitter? They could ban antifascist activists or journalists.

It truly doesn’t matter how you feel about one person. It matters how you feel about principles.

Huh? Where?

This article has so few details. How do we think they’re pulling this off? Phones? A Flipper maybe? And then what?

Yes, because he taught himself.

“At some point, I looked at the BASIC book and decided I would learn that.” He taught himself straight from the book, which he recalls was “pretty straightforward.”

Not sure why “old+judge” automatically equals “tech illiterate.” The judge in another high-profile Google case taught himself to code

Wow you heard that crazy bro
