I like it too 😅 Although I’d prefer to be able to reduce the spacing as much as possible

[email protected] would be best for that. You can also ask in the various c/nostupidquestions communities

They wouldn’t suddenly ban it though.

Any ban would roll in without enough time for people to switch away. Twitter doesn’t do anything special that can’t be replicated elsewhere.

We’re going to stick to the summer time all year instead of the winter time

Supposedly Amnezia is an anti censorship tool, however Facebook has a terrible track record with recommending VPNs. The previous one turned out to be spyware

Onavo, Inc. was an Israeli mobile web analytics company that was purchased by Facebook, Inc. (now Meta Platforms), who changed the company’s name to Facebook Israel.[1] The company primarily performed its activities via consumer mobile apps, including the virtual private network (VPN) service Onavo Protect, which analysed web traffic sent through the VPN to provide statistics on the usage of other apps.

Guy Rosen and Roi Tiger founded Onavo in 2010. In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo’s analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp.

Since the acquisition, Onavo was frequently classified as being spyware, as the VPN was used to monetize application usage data collected within an allegedly privacy-focused environment. In August 2018, Facebook was forced to pull Onavo Protect from the iOS App Store due to violations of Apple’s policy forbidding apps from collecting data on the usage of other apps. In February 2019, in response to criticism over a Facebook market research program employing similar techniques (including, in particular, being targeted towards teens), Onavo announced that it would close the Android version of Protect as well.

We just got rid of it

Looks cool! I’d love to see local buynothing groups have a Fediverse alternative.

Out of curiosity, is there any standard or common format around location data for Fediverse platforms?

I made accounts on a few instances, but I stuck with this one (and eventually joined the team) for the same reasons

Wow that is nice, is it released anywhere for others to modify/extend?

Fox, who also oversees Apache Maven, a popular Java build tool, explained that its repository site is at risk of being overwhelmed by constant Git pulls. The team has dug into this and found that 82 percent of the demand comes from less than 1 percent of IPs. Digging deeper, they discovered that many companies are using open source repositories as if they were content delivery networks (CDNs). So, for example, a single company might download the same code hundreds of thousands of times in a day, and the next day, and the next. This is unsustainable.

GitHub added rate limits for unauthenticated users last year

At the same time, they became a lot more palatable to the rest of the world and companies that want to avoid bad press / boycotts

Read and spot clues: The AI looks at your posts and pulls out little hints about you. Things you that are part of your personality. Like it can see that this person talks a lot about coding games in Python, loves Marvel movies, complains about school in Seattle, and types with a certain style.

Or the reaction videos where the original video plays in the corner while the person points, nods, and makes faces

Some places already ban physical ads. There are better sources than these but this is what I found so far:

• https://blog.wego.com/what-happens-when-a-megacity-bans-ads/

Digital ads would be harder to get rid of. At the individual level, it’s relatively easy to disable an adblocker if something breaks. That’s harder to do if you block it city wide.

A PSA campaign might work better to get people to turn on adblockers

It would be best to ask on [email protected]

Lemmy in general

Lemmy software doesn’t block VPNs, this is done by individual instances as a way to handle bots / attacks.

Your instance blocks VPN & Tor users: https://lemmy.world/post/11967676

I should have included the tag, I made it up 😄

Fun fact, the ketchup chips in Canada were inspired by these

most depictions of magic carpet flights have the carpet move very erratically because they have a mind of their own

That might be a good thing. If you fall, the carpet will rush down to catch you

Thank you for taking care of that, and sorry for the delay on my end! I’ve had a busy week, and I’ve been slowly going through the DMs/replies in my queue
