I wonder how they will enforce this. If you can just open a private window to bypass it, it won’t be very effective. Sure, they could do some fingerprinting, but I imagine avoiding false-positives would be very important, so I doubt they’d get very far with that.

Honestly, the only way I see is implementing a login wall, which I wouldn’t put past them. And that’s kinda scary. It would render so many links inaccessible to people without a Google account.

Or who knows, maybe they just want to make it more cumbersome and not completely prevent it, to get more people onto YouTube Premium, while the more determined people can continue adblocking because it’s not worth fighting a small minority.

Oh my god this is awesome!! I wanted to make something like this for myself for a while but never got around to it, unfortunately.

can’t wait to see more greg posts on lemmy

Typomagical. I love serif fonts.

For the “server shutting down” part, what you want is nomadic identity. There have already been a few discussions around this stuff, here’s a good summary (scroll down to the bottom): https://blog.erlend.sh/fragmentations-in-the-fediverse

Most fediverse platforms don’t seem to see this as a priority at all right now, for what it’s worth.

The thing is, I just really prefer the tree view of Lemmy/Kbin…

Yeah, but the reasoning in the post is that OpenAI has already profited from the data, and might have a better position to negotiate special access with them than smaller companies, thus reducing competition.

Yes, but the special thing here is that OpenAI, which has a lot of shared stakeholders with Reddit, has already trained their models on its data, so they might have an interest in turning it off for the other companies. Also, they might be in a better position to negotiate with Reddit for special access to the data than smaller companies.

It’s a pretty wild theory, but interesting nontheless.

Ugh, internet providers are annoying. Why is stuff like that even legal.

For situations like this I’ve had success with Shadowsocks, which you can combine with Wireguard, and run over Port 443, here’s a guide.

You could also try if it’s sufficient to just run vanilla Wireguard over port 443.

Edit: One issue you might run into with Shadowsocks is that combining it with Wireguard is not possible on mobile AFAIK.

huh, this is weird. one would think people would use separate machines / vms to test zero day exploits, not their main machines.

Could recommend this thing someone posted earlier today.

Let me know if you have other cool artists to listen to!

Edit: Should probably create a hyperpop community, but I don’t really want to do it partly because I’m on a german speaking instance and that wouldn’t make sense…

Erst einmal hilft es sehr, wenn du viel postest, kommentierst etc. Außerdem kannst du die Lemmy-Developer finanziell unterstützen.

ah yes, 100 gecs. at first I hated it, but after listening to it again a while later I started loving it. I can also recommend underscores, SOPHIE, Hyd, and Cecile Believe.

Ja, wenn jetzt der Protest “schiefgeht” und der Großteil der Community wieder zurückgeht, dann weiß Reddit natürlich, dass es egal ist, wie sie ihre User behandeln, die kommen sowieso zurück. Und ich schätze mal, dann wird es nur immer schlechter.

Well, I’m not sure how to post to communities, but you can see all posts from a community by just searching for it on mastodon (use @ instead of !). (so to find lemmyworld, go to i.e. chaos.social and then enter @lemmyworld@lemmy.world in search) There you can also reply to posts, and these replies will show up on Lemmy. In addition to that, you can follow Lemmy users so their comments will show up on your timeline.

This is terrible in every way. These online resources are incredibly important for teenagers who feel isolated, and it could even cut off adults’ access to these resources because people might have to hand over their ID to get access to mental health content, which e.g. people with drug addictions might not want to do for various reasons.

Not possible yet. The devs said it may be coming in the far future. kbin supports this, but it’s a bit buggy still and is not yet compatible with Lemmy. I’m considering switching once they turn on federation (so that you can join Lemmy communities from there and vice versa).

This is all still a bit early still, unfortunately. Though I’m sure now that so many people are here development will accelerate significantly.

Edit: People on Mastodon can reply to Lemmy conversations, though. And we can see their comments here.

Hah, I edited the same thing into my comment earlier :)

edit: also that “unreviewed content” popup is such a scourge. it seems to pop up completely randomly, just to force you to use the app. glad to be off that platform.
