The subtle ways having a toxic community affects unconscious design decisions. It’s a message.

…joking, to be clear. Could be a raindrop.

I played through the entirety of TF2 on Linux a while back, so I’m curious as to what’s the issue. Please share more details about your system and steam setup when you can.

Ah, figures, thank you. I still don’t get it, with the counts I’m seeing, but I think we’ve gone deep enough down this comment chain already.

what does that even mean

Yeah, you do you. I don’t think posting to three relevant communities is being annoyingly self-promotional, though. Two of them are literally just the same community in two different instances. Why, I find it weird there’s no post to !firefox@lemmy.world

I assumed your first comment was a complaint that they were posting in too many communities. I was disagreeing and presenting why I think that assessment would be incorrect, and sneakily trying to hint that you might want to consider a different app/frontend if this was bothering you.

I only found three posts, all in (at least) semi-relevant communities. I think my frontends of choice only show me one, then reference the others below as crossposts.

Right, Apple doesn’t have an ad-revenue & tracking empire to protect, and should Safari adopt PPA, the discussion changes. It would no longer be the API used merely by Firefox with its (estimated) 2.7% user base trying to gain any traction, it could be Chrome holding back the tech used by a cumulative (estimated) 20% of web users. That’s a very different conversation.

Also, despite advertisers and big tech’s best efforts, the chance remains that legislation is passed somewhere imposing stricter privacy protections on the web. Again, should that happen, PPA might be well positioned as an alternative to past methods of measuring ad effectiveness that advertisers wouldn’t necessarily like… but any alternative that works could make them less resistant to such an important change.

All hypothetical, of course, but if you never consider future possibilities, what are you even aiming for?

Haven’t finished reading the article because I need to go out, I plan to do so later, but is this… Is this actually a sane and nuanced take on the complex browser scene and its issues? Did not expect that in my tech media bingo today.

Seems they’re both from the same developer, with slightly different objectives. However, uMatrix’s repository has been archived and hasn’t updated in years. Even if you use a fork, the first line of the README is “Definitely for advanced users.” I don’t consider uMatrix a working solution for the average user, which is most people.

I don’t feel like engaging with the first phrase of your comment as it is, lacking even a single concrete example or further resources to look into.

All the more reason to use Firefox with uBlock Origin if you can, which despite concerns regarding Mozilla are still much more likely to align with users’ best interests and help you avoid being tracked all over the web.

Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing, and they’d be able to adjust that choice at any time.

What does this even mean, Google?

The thread asking for people’s favorite poems was a bit emotional for me. I keep revisiting it, there’s something special in poetry and people sharing it.

Oh bummer, forgot about that. Assuming it needn’t be my only/main account, I could create a p.dev one, if it helps.

No modding experience, but Linux & tech news remain a strong hyperfixation interest of mine. If that’s enough, I could give it a shot.
