how are some people still hypnotized to believe this man is a genius? GOD i will forever resent the media for glazing this man for 15 yrs and convincing the public that he's anything more than a trust fund baby who could by companies and play pretend.

13 states to sue over DOGE access to government payment systems containing personal data in c/[email protected]

that's what I am trying to figure out. They can sue him, they can declare what he is doing is illegal, but then what? Is the secret service or FBI going to get involved? Who is going to enforce this?

Have the communities been defederated?

I don't know if it's just about reddit partnering with Google. It's undeniable that years and years of enthusiasts having niche but public conversations about all manner of things makes it a gold mine for any search engine. People organically were adding "reddit" to their searches for years to find these conversations, way before it was a mechanism of avoiding garbage AI and SEO slop.

I still use reddit for this very reason. lemmy is great for me to learn about privacy, FOSS, and decentralization, but I have to use reddit to learn about Vermicomposting, which high quality leather boot I should invest in, and for niche subculture snark.

I've been helping some people bridge their Bluesky to mastodon by telling them that if/when they get pushed out of Bluesky due to enshittification, they will love having a mastodon presence already building. And if people use both, they can at least know there's a back up of all their posts (great if you know any comedians or political advocates who are upset when they lose jokes/posts after being harassed and banned).

Yeah. Is that just due to the small size of the user base, or does reddit hide posts you've already seen?

I would love a way of minimizing comments as you read them like on Reddit. It would make avoiding a long string of comments deviating from the topic much easier

I'm using the Sync mobile app. I should try another one just to see what's out there. Are you aware of any third party apps that can be used on desktop?

Counterpoint: There still is too little activity within communities that aren't tech related for me to say that it's the perfect size. I think we still need a good number of non-tech focused users here. Also, the jokes are stale, but reddit has that issue too.

I like this. I hope it starts conversations. Does anyone know if there are good alternatives to Discord?

If I am the average computer user with very little literacy when it comes to operating software, how do I go about switching from Windows to Linux? Is there a tutorial anyone recommends?

What is DRM and why is Chrome doing a bad thing here? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I think I understand why this is bad, but I am not confident in my technical understanding of the mechanics here. Will appreciate an explainer :)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/978408

looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

making the case for PHIMBYism not YHIMBYism (lemmy.world)
 

(Speaking from a USA perspective) How do we start to convince people that building and maintaining housing should be funded through public funds and the decisions should be made by the public? It's hard to educate the well-meaning general public to be skeptical of the developers that roll into town and claim to be able to build affordable housing. The programs our cities often rely on aren't meeting the reality of what our communities need in terms of long-term pricing, quality of housing, and related resources. What do we do?
