It wasn’t even a localhost address, it was a file:// URL if I remember correctly.

Nice

I’ve been using FreeTube for a while and it’s great. It allows me to customise my feed to only include content from my subscriptions and filter out any recommendations designed to keep me on the platform for as long as possible.

I think this happens because people believe that ad blockers are “too good to be true”. That was what I first thought when first getting an ad blocker, that there was going to be some kind of “catch” like slowing down websites, making them less functional or being malicious. But it turns out they actually improve performance, rarely affect functionality and are even recommended by the FBI because they protect against malicious advertising.

Thanks for this, it actually was a lot of fun to try and complete it! 😀

This won’t go well for him. Even after the meeting the Republicans had when they were told not to be racist and misogynistic against Harris they still can’t help themselves.

As a new user it’s nice seeing so many new users in this thread.

Thanks! 😀

It’s really nice how you can now iterate over a boxed slice using for x in &y rather than being forced to use for x in y.iter().

That’s a great point! After October 7 and Israel’s genocide, I was surprised how little attention r/Palestine got compared to r/Ukraine after Russia’s invasion. If you look at the top posts of all time on r/Palestine, the top post only has 10k upvotes and was before October 7, while the top post on r/Ukraine has nearly 200k upvotes and it was right after Russia invaded. It feels like r/Palestine is being silently censored, or I guess you could say being partially shadow-banned.

Just quit Reddit a few days ago and haven’t looked back. I remember when there was no viable alternative to Reddit, with all other platforms being very sparely populated, but a lot has changed since I recently got into Lemmy as there are actually people here!

After switching to Lemmy I’ve noticed I’ve been feeling a lot happier. Maybe that’s just because of how social media companies design their service to be as addicting as possible, and they do so by making you feel angry. Everything here feels much calmer and more peaceful.
