The way I read it, he was making it hard to remove the empty sidebar after blocking the ads in it.

I’m confused what your issue is with the dev. He seems to have posted because uBO was breaking the site for premium users and then got told “just stop monetizing effectively.” Only one reply (don’t use such an obnoxious way to insert the ad sidebar) was actually helpful, though it was at odds with part of his monetization strategy (pay for Premium to get that extra space).

If uBO devs had said “Sure, give this account premium access and we’ll check it out” and he’d refused, that would be different, but instead they said there was nothing he could do to help them and banned him from participating.

It also doesn’t seem that he’s intentionally breaking the app when uBO is in use. Rather, uBO breaks the app when ads aren’t being served and he is now detecting when this happens and serving a message about the fact.

Does anyone know of similar image editors out there that can batch-crop images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then export them to webp?

Not similar, but Image Magick can crop images from the cli and has webp support.

I didn’t say it wasn’t convenient. I said it was counter intuitive.

That’s pretty much the standard.

• On iPhones and iPads, swipe from the left to go back. In a book on such a device, swipe from the right to go forward.
• On eReaders, particularly Kindles, tap on the right side to go forward; tap on the left side to go back.
• On Android with gestures enabled, swipe from the left side to go back. Or… swipe from the right side to go back. Counter intuitive but apparently at least one person uses that.

Assuming OP has standard gestures enabled, they could still swipe from the left side.

Being operated by a right leaning organization isn’t the same as having a right leaning user base, though

Is that only true if you recognize that Dems are right of center?

Can’t you turn on Developer Mode to enable third party slicers?

I think of the Bambu P1S as the inexpensive alternative to the Bambu X1C or a comparable printer from Prusa, at least in terms of print consistency and ease of use.

My Bambu was my fourth 3D printer (second FDM printer) and it took 3D printing from a frustrating, time consuming hobby to just a thing I do to enable other hobbies. I don’t have to spend time tweaking settings to get a decent print, because the default settings are already good enough. Instead, I can focus on designing models or working with finished prints.

I’ll have to check out both OpenSCAD and Code Comic. Some completely non-CAD DSLs that you might be interested in, since you mentioned GraphViz:

Mermaid.js does something very similar to Graphviz. There are a couple other similar tools like that out there, but Mermaid is supported in a lot of places natively or as an easy to use plugin, like GitHub Markdown (and other git forges like Forgejo), Hedgedoc, Obsidian, SilverBullet, etc…

I’d also argue that LaTeX counts, and to a lesser extent, Markdown - compare using them to using Word.

And reveal.js is an equivalent for slide deck creation that would normally be done with PowerPoint.

I hear more complaints about Windows from Windows users than from people who solely or primarily use other OSes. Unless you count “Okay… so why don’t you do something about it?” as a complaint, that is.

I think that makes you “the guy who really likes to talk about Linux.”

From https://wiki.servarr.com/

Welcome to the consolidated wiki for Lidarr, Prowlarr, Radarr, Readarr, Sonarr, and Whisparr. Collectively they are referred to as “*Arr”, “*Arrs”, “Starr”, or “Starrs”. They are designed to automatically grab, sort, organize, and monitor your Music, Movie, E-Book, or TV Show collections for Lidarr, Radarr, Readarr, Sonarr, and Whisparr; and to manage your indexers and keep them in sync with the aforementioned apps for Prowlarr.

Servarr is the name for the ecosystem of apps that help you run and automate your own home media server. This includes fetching movie and TV show releases, books and music management, indexer and UseNet/Torrent managers and downloaders.

You can store passkeys in (and use them from) a password manager instead of the OS’s secret vault. I think most major password managers support this now - Bitwarden definitely does.

Can’t Keepass also generate TOTPs?

Proton doesn’t know that your password is 64 characters long because the hash will be the same length regardless. They also don’t know if you’ve reused your password on other sites.

Do you have two factor authentication set up? A lot of sites - Proton included - institute stricter security measures if you do not have 2FA enabled.

I’m not a lawyer, but I believe that if the Lemmy instance’s ToS indicates where disputes will be resolved, and either the site owner resides there or is an LLC that is registered there, that you could sue Meta in that location.

Meta is big enough that they are most likely conducting business there (even if digitally) and you could also show that the harm suffered was suffered there.

I still wouldn’t call a car an “investment” or anything, but 100% agreed. The whole “cars lose 50% of their value when you drive off the lot” thing might have been true before the Cash for Clunkers program, but it isn’t anymore. Or maybe it’s true if you’re trying to trade-in the vehicle.

If I wanted to buy the (fairly popular) car I’ve been driving for over 6 years with the same mileage, it’d cost me over 2/3rds what it cost new When I bought it, new cars were less expensive than used cars (i.e., like less than two years old with less than 25k miles) thanks to how much better the interest rates were on the loans. A couple years later, I was getting offers for more than I paid for it. And none of that is a unique experience.

If the instance or community guidelines state “X isn’t allowed,” then it isn’t censorship to remove X. It becomes censorship when mods start removing things for reasons other than enforcing instance or community guidelines. Until that point, it’s just content moderation.

If the c/Androids community guidelines state that “This community is about human-like robots. Posts regarding the phone OS are unwelcome” and a mod removes such a post, that isn’t censorship. Likewise for spam, or reposts, or any number of other things.

On the other hand if the mods remove a post about a human-like robot built in China because they’re sinophobic, that is censorship. Likewise if the human-like robot was built by Tesla, if the lead engineer were a woman, or anything along those lines. Likewise if the post were instead critical of such a robot - still censorship (unless it’s a news only community and the post was free text or a meme).

Likewise if a community’s guidelines state that controversial statements without reputable sources backing them up, statements known to be false, or statements that have been flagged as false by a fact checker are prohibited, then removing such statements isn’t censorship. It’s moderation.

I genuinely don’t understand why people here are taking it so hard that I wish the Immich devs were using semver.

Because you didn’t say that; you said “Breaking changes in a point release? Not cool” and later “I’m basing this off the guidelines at semver.org.”

I’m paraphrasing your comments from memory, to be clear, so apologies if I misquoted you.

It certainly felt to me like you were assuming that this project was using semver and was not following it well, not that you wouldn’t want to use a project that receives this many breaking changes / that doesn’t follow semver. Those complaints both make a lot more sense to me - and I’ve seen many people say similar things about Immich in the past. In fact, it’s a big part of why I haven’t migrated from Photoprism to Immich myself - in this regard they’re complete opposites.
