This looks like a reasonable feature from what I can tell. There are tons of scammy extensions that scrape data. This looks like they are just trying to limit the damage when your uncle installs some random shopping extension that logs all the pages he visits. Plus, the feature can be disabled by the user if they know what they are doing.

No worries, thanks for the response!

Interesting answer, scanning through the Wikipedia article on kiki/bouba it makes sense that we don't really have solid evidence that it isn't a learned trait. It may be hard to get a population of people who developed language independently of all other humans ever and see if they maintain the strong correlation with naming kiki and bouba.

So I guess that brings up another question I have kinda wondered about. What is the most "isolated" spoken language on the planet? By that, I mean the language that evolved most independently of other spoken languages. Is there anything interesting that can be learned by comparing such a language to the European languages that are dominant among the global population?

Fair enough. Yeah backlog reconciliation would be really nice especially for new instances that spin up. It would be nice if you could do the "site:lemmy.world [search query]" trick at some point. Without backlog reconciliation that may not work as well.

People must be doing that, I scrolled for a bit and didn't see a single 5 star review. The best part is most reviews call out exactly the same problems as my 1 star review from 2018. Very few even seem to mention the API or 3rd party apps. What have they been doing for 5 years?

Fair point. Perhaps I will look into the issue more and see what exists and how Lemmy can plug into it. Perhaps it would be easier server side rather than with a bot.

I am totally new to being a mod so take my suggestion with a grain of salt. Would it be possible to remove images or content based on a database of known offending content? I grew up in the days of goatse (please please do NOT Google that) and would like such things to be auto removed. I will survive the occasional false negative, but minimizing such things would be appreciated. I know large tech companies have something similar to remove abuse photos.

I think that would be useful in general but perhaps more for the Beehaw type scenario. I took a look at the front page of exploding-heads and I support a complete disconnect in this case. I don't want that kind of content showing up on any site that I interact with. The wonderful thing about free speech is that I am also not obligated to listen. Let them have their echo chamber somewhere else.

Unlocked bootloader is key. The aftermarket ROMs are unfortunately kinda limited, but I think its important that this option remain open. You don't own a computer if you can't load your own code. Fortunately the Pixel series also has unlocked bootloaders.

I will never buy another Samsung, Apple, or carrier specific device due to the annoying locked down bootloaders.

I hear you and it is certainly an inconvenience. My solution for now is just to create mirror accounts on a few different instances under the same name. Hopefully the version compatibility will improve as the Lemmy software matures over time.

Ah that explains it. Someone posted a cool photo to my community from lemmy.ca but didn't interact further. Looks like my comment didn't even show up on their end.

Anyway, thanks to everyone working on the issue. I know these things aren't easy.

This trick used to be common before embedded searches were actually decent. Wikipedia in particular took a long time before their search was even close to "site:wikipedia.org [search term]". I think the saddest part is that people seemed to forget about it for so long until realizing they could use it for Reddit too. So far the trick seems to work for lemmy if you point it at an arbitrary instance like lemmy.world, the content just isn't quite there yet.
