This is also a great way to dox yourself. With a number of platforms that do this, opening the link will greet some users with “see what else USERNAME is doing”

So if you share a reddit post with a family member, they might learn your Reddit username. Likewise if you share a tiktok or instagram post on reddit, then people might see your real name.

Sharing from the app will create a different URL, where you can’t just snip off the end to clean it up. You have to resolve it first

The blocker runs in the main browser process rather than as a web extension, which means it isn’t subject to the limitations that extension based blockers like uBlock Origin face.

Waterfox is a fork of Firefox though, why would it face the limitations that chrome has?

The video isn’t loading for me, but from context, is it like surgeon simulator but for home repairs

It will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn’t make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it

*for internal communication

The EU Commission is cracking down harder on digital espionage. It has instructed its highest-ranking officials to immediately dissolve a central Signal group for internal communication. According to Politico, department heads and their deputies are primarily affected by this measure. The order stems from fears that the chat group may have become the target of targeted cyberattacks.

I assume it is to prevent this mess

They almost always get removed or deleted eventually, but sometimes they’ll get upvoted for a few hours until an eagle eyed user spots evidence and calls it out.

It’s also not OPs fault most of the time. It’s hard to spot them

Music don’t contain watermarks that ruin the experience in the work itself.

They do, and I find it a lot more obnoxious than a label in the borders on an image

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Producer_tag

It’s available in text attribution/ metadata base.

When I download a song, the file comes with the metadata. When I download an image, the creator information is not there. When images are shared, it’s very often the image alone and not a link to the page with the image.

Also artists have been leaving a signature on their art for as long as we’ve had art. All people are asking is that you share the art as it was created instead of modifying each piece before you share it. By doing that, you’re deciding for other people what is best.

This honestly feels like a good opportunity for you to make a separate community and post your edits there so that the people who prefer that format can subscribe to it.

The benefit is that the other microblogging platforms might also implement or improve threadiverse support if this goes well. We could get more activity and users from the people who are only on a microblogging platform

Did you try Calibre Web or Calibre Web Automated

Maybe CWA is what you’re looking for?

Nice, I had no idea

I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin

• Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn’t powerful enough to handle something that it’s trying to do
• Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it’s UI and default settings over the others

I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours

Neat, are there any other clients for Android TV aside from the official one?

Fladder was working on it, but last I tried it was still too unstable to use

It might be the thesis, but it definitely raises discussions on why some protests work and others don’t. It’s true that a one and done protest is easy to ignore. That doesn’t mean all protests are ineffective.

Historically, protests were effective when they were the signal that people were unhappy, and that if something didn’t change, people would take further action.

So I’m order for protests to be more effective:

• they need better organization and consolidation instead of being distributed
• they need a clear set of actionable demands, so that protestors know when they need to ratchet up to the next level of escalation
• they need to have agreed upon levels of escalation that will be followed by those attending the protest. That could include general strikes, focussed boycotts, focussed civil disobedience, etc.

Simplifying it down to “🔫 or nothing” is just as silly as the octopus protest, in that people need to find the right set of actions for each situation.

As for the US specifically, I don’t see what an immediate armed revolution would accomplish.

I agree, rather I was surprised that threads grew big enough for people to be trying to migrate away from it.

In my area / friend circles, I don’t know anyone that continued to use Threads after the initial launch. However, there are people using Mastodon, Bluesky, and Twitter

The tooltip explanation for the handles should help, since that’s a very common point of confusion.

especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to X or Threads.

That many people use Facebook Threads? That sounds like saying “especially for more mainstream users looking for an alternative to Reddit or New Digg.”

I think it would be nice as an opt-in feature in the user settings

Lol, so it has come full circle then
