Most people still would.
I personally wouldn’t, that’s why I use Adblock Plus. But there’s a reason everyone started hating on ABP when it started allowing non-intrusive ads by default. Most people do not want to see ads at all, no matter what.

What do you mean with that in regards to Discord?


Fluxer is going to be federated, it’s on their roadmap.


Fluxer has screen sharing.


Fluxer has screen sharing with audio.


It’s just how the fediverse works in general. Content is sent to recipients, similar to email. Which includes your followers. But if you’re not a recipient, you never receive the content.
On Lemmy it’s less of an issue for individual users because communities act as relays. They take posts and comments made to them and forward them to all their followers. It is however a problem for communities themselves.
Lemmy does have Lemmy Federate however, which helps improve the reach of its communities. You just enter your community and it’ll use puppet accounts on various instances, both big and small, to subscribe to it, allowing you to reach the world even from a self-hosted instance. I don’t think the Mastodon side has something like that for users.


I mean, ChatGPT can do it. I just tested it. And if you run your own AI, you can probably remove most such rules anyway.


Nowadays people use OpenClaw agents which don’t really involve human input beyond the initial “fix this bug” prompt. They independently write the code, submit the PR, argue in the comments, and might even write a hit piece on you for refusing to merge their code.


There have been some users reporting they get ads despite being Premium users, especially in regards to Youtube’s efforts to bypass adblockers (even if they weren’t using one). I always assumed that’s because their measures were misidentifying the lack of ads as using an ad blocker, even if that lack was due to using premium.
Just wanted to give an actual explanation. I’m not qualified to actually confirm or deny whether those user reports were factual or made up. But people usually consider them factual because of herd mentality.


Not just the premium part, but also it affecting descriptions makes me think this is some kind of bug. At least partially. There’s not really any point to disabling descriptions specifically, most people don’t read them anyway.
“there’s currently no way around it” “The issue goes away with a refresh”
The way I understand it, the issue only resolves if you refresh while on the video you want to watch. Navigating to another video would unfix it again. So it’s not really a real fix the way most people expect a fix to look like. They want something they can apply and then they don’t have to deal with the problem anymore. Which, based on this article, only disabling your adblocker achieves.


For people who only go off headlines and comments and don’t read the article, here’s the important bits:
edit: added “the article” after “don’t read” to clarify
So I’m currently at work, where we use Fortinet, which is blocking your website for “Phishing”.
Before that, your website made my browser ring the alarm with the error “net::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID”.
You might want to look into those two.


Is there a reason the room icons have to be humongous, at least in the web version on PC?
Other than that, looks great.


The remote code execution isn’t “via a text file”. It’s via a link in a text file, which Notepad now lets you actually click.
Just don’t click on links you don’t know the destination of (Notepad shows the destination for https links at least, on hover) and you don’t have any remote code executing.


Funkwhale is a fediverse music platform.


They don’t just use office from the web, via Linux? You can access excel, word, …, all of that in a browser.
Web office has barely any features compared to the desktop thing, iirc.


Liability waivers don’t apply outside the US.
/kbin indeed is dead, and Mbin does have the same feature.
Though worth noting it’s not quite the same as what Piefed has. Piefed combines all posts into one, while Mbin just groups them, but still treats them separately. Still deduplication, but not quite merging.
