Its just funny that 2 Billionaires make such drama about that.

Mental Outlaw strikes again.

A good summary from Louis!

Because of that i really dont use meta and i am against letting Threads join the fediverse

In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."

Trackers, trackers and ol' Zucc's roboface galore.

With few simple steps you can block a instance! It requires some config editing, but its more simpler than blocking them manually!

If you have any question please let me know ;)

I made a simple script for everyone! It can mass block unwanted communities! ( Like NSFW )

The script is somewhat finished, but i would require your contribution of unwanted communities ( like nsfw, racist, etc... )

Brave is just chrome change my mind. But again great video from Louis Rossmann!

Nice summarisation from Louis Rossmann

Reddit screws over blind community - a lesson on road rage in business Video

The free VPN "Swing VPN" was not a vpn it was actually a botnet.

Programming word chain

In here everyone can only say 1 line of code. The next User has to add something logical after that.

The Programming Langauge is Javascript. (and no minified js doesnt count!)

If a user created a function

The next user who wants to create something IN that function replies to the first user!

User1:

function doSomething(arg1) {

User2

console.log("Inside this function")

User3

}

Community Rules still apply!

Example:

User1: const apples = 50

User2: const trees = apples * 5

( Sort by "Old" )

That is sadly for me the truth about code review XD

A good summary what is going on Twitter from Mental Outlaw. Twitter is now paywalled.

Eine einfach Zusammenfassung welche Tricks die meisten Youtuber anwenden um den Zuschauer daran zu "belästigen" um ein Komentar zu erstellen.

test post ignore!

Youtube will be seeing something like Reddit if they are going through. As this will screw over Advertisers as they pay more because many more people are "forced" to see ads but they arent interested and dont click on it.

Hello there, and welcome to the Fediverse! Let's get you started.

This post was created together with many users, intended to help you have an easy start! It has a simple language, and it includes many useful links.

For your first day here

Hello, newbie user! Lemmy is just like Reddit, but better. Ha-ha. Seriously. But let's not overwhelm you for now.

This very neat starting guide was written by our beloved admin, @ruud. To avoid confusion, start reading it from the Quick start guide section.

If you're new to Lemmy, this post will also help you perfectly.

kbin users can check out this amazing starting guide instead. This is also a nice guide.

Finding Communities on Lemmy/kBin

If you finished reading your starting guide, it's time to go find your new favorite communities! Check out these dedicated services: number 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 5! Go have some fun! :D

For your second day here

Hello again! You're less of a newbie now, and you found some amazing communities! We can start talking about the Fediverse. I hope you didn't forget to read the rules for lemmy.world!

kBin.social's rules are in this link.

The Fediverse

You must've realised that we addressed Lemmy and kBin users differently. And what is this Fediverse people keep talking about, anyways?

Lemmy and kBin are two different platforms, and they can perfectly interact with each other! This means that they are a part of the federation. And they are only two members of the vast Fediverse.

What is the Fediverse? video by Framasoft to get a good understanding with visuals!

As a great lemming once said: Fediverse is basically like a group chat, but for websites. This means that federated websites all agree to share their content with each other, constantly, at the same time.

Follow this link to view a list of all Lemmy instances.

Follow this link to open the Fediverse Observer. It is set to show kBin, but you can navigate your way through the site to show any Fediverse platform you'd like.

For your third day here

That's it! What else do you want? Go have some fun and keep learning along the way! ;)

Subscription strikes again!

This will be the thread where you can tell us anything ;)

It is interesting how much the blackout really hurt google and reddit.

Another great video from Louis Rossmann!

In there he talks about why open sourcing hardware and software after end of life or bankruptcy of a company.

A interesting video from Coffezilla

This will be just a sandbox for my lemmy automod bot! Please ignore!

The stages of debugging ;)
