Sorry fixed link

Yeah same thing I was wondering. There are still a lot of great RSS readers. Arguably even better than Google Reader was.

Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.

Look at the frameworks go!!! I know I know. "its not a framework"...

These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.

How is it "safer" when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳

Yes! Can't believe it's 2024 and websites are still not accessible. Even the biggest companies are the worst at this... and don't even get me started on their mobile sites πŸ™„

Just depends on what works best for each of us. But personally, I agree with you. It's not that I think one company owning a ton of the services is a bad thing in itself. But history has shown us that, when a company starts to dominate a certain market, they tend to start becoming tone-deaf to our interests, because they know we can't (easily) switch and go somewhere else.

Eh. These sorts of metrics aren't always accurate. And the source company did the study in 2016, which was a very very different internet, and doesn't go into detail about how they were able to determine this number. I would take that with a grain of salt. I agree that just having a notice somewhere is better than not, though.

Yeah, it's definitely a very unique approach I haven't seen before. I've been using the "honeypot" method for years, which has been working surprisingly well.

Wouldn't this effectively mark all messages from a user who isn't using JavaScript as spam? πŸ™ƒ

 

Came across this interesting article. But what do you all think?

 

HUGE win for EU and for Developers with apps in Apple's App store! πŸš€

 

This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

 

They've been saying this since Threads began... I'll believe it when I see it....

I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

 

I noticed that every time I visit the site, I have to log in. I remember not having to do this a few days ago. I was assuming a cookie was being set for a timeframe until I explicitly log out. I can't remember if there was a "remember me" button. I'm using Firefox and tried disabling my extensions, but that didn't seem to help.

Anyone know why sh.reddit.com exists? Is it something they plan to use in future? ATM, it just looks justlike reddit.com with a few small style differences.

 

I'm a dev and I was browsing Mozilla's careers page and came across this. I find a privacy respecting company being interested in building an AI powered recommendation engine a little odd. Wouldn't they need to sift through the very data we want private in order for a recommendation engine to be good? Curious of what others think.
