Well, you can just… not install the extension then?
The strength of life to face oneself has been made manifest. The persona Carighan has appeared.

That’s not how patent law works.
So far it’s not perfect yet, but I already switched to it. Very nice.
It’s difficult to say what PP does, last I read about if? One idea was that it’s actually excludes things from server side click metrics, and in that case I would guess I can see point in leaving it there?
There’s already a fan-made fix to add things such as FoV and ultrawide and framegen support.
I don’t get why, I can’t see this be difficult or costly to run, but then again I have no clue, never ran a Mastodon instance.
I would assume that it’s not worth the small reach compared to running X / Bluesky / Threads accounts but then again, like I said, the cost must be super small. 🤷
Ah yes of course. Both Meta and Bluesky have far outrun any federated-short-blogging effort of the Fediverse, and as a result companies will rather want to monetize those. But this is also the paradoxical situation of people in here who both want “the Fediverse to succeed” and “keep corporate interests out of the Fediverse”: Either won’t happen.
Right now it looks more like this’ll remain a hyper-specialized place for specific discussions, Mastodon more so. You can go there for false dichotomies in regards to browser development feedback for example, or for dejected Youtube actual-content-creators getting yelled at for engaging with their community.
But it seems it’ll stay at that. However, this also keeps any monetary interest away from it, so that’s good. Of course, should this ever change and the Fediverse grows more welcoming and that works and it grows bigger, of course the moment users move in (in numbers), advertisers, astroturfers and all will move in with them. That’s just a given.
And partially why I hate this “Just block’em!”-approach to Threads: It assumes the stick-your-fingers-into-your-ears-and-ignore-the-issue approach would ever be an actual solution to any problem. And then when you run into an issue you cannot avoid that way, you have fuck all experience doing something actionable about it, as you’ve never tried before.
You raise an interesting point. With web 2.0, we did the equivalent of all the fediverse stuff blocking meta. And look where that got us. Maybe it’s time for a different approach.
You realize the second part would also happen if the Fediverse “takes off”, yes? Then naturally companies would come in and trivially take things over as there’s money to be made.
It’s a natural end state until governments can be made to curb corporate freedom.
Ah sad, it’s just a teaser. Looks nice, but was hoping there’d be an actual introduction.
Yeah that’s true, or at least I wish I could make FF remember my settings.
Yeah I was about to say, just do https? It’s not like getting a certificate is still a big deal in modern times, hasn’t in years.
Damn their video introduction gives me 90s and early 2000s vibes. This is like those early 3D-rendered VR experiences on television.
Me, it makes me a bit sad it’s so low. Reader Mode is one the really cool features of Firefox, but I understand that consuming web content by reading is rapidly on the decline, as a result of the comparatively low information density of video and audio allowing bigger ad space compared to text.
Plus we know from the last 10-15 years how much reading comprehension has nosedived since the proliferation of video content.
Fascinating. Would have never guessed this was worth fifty million.
Yeah but why would you want to finish a game as a dev nowadays? You get paid for your early beta releases (= “early access”), not for finishing it from there.
Uh… what do you think we do when a client doesn’t pay us for a while? We yank their access. That’s how services work, you get a few warnings that you really need to pay or you’ll lose access and then, well, you lose access.
Hrm, curious to see whether this comes with a bigger patch for the game.
I kinda bounced off of it, based on my own wrong expectations, as I was thinking it’d be more like Recettear and not as puzzly (in a time-managemeny way) as it was. It’s a decent enough game, just not what I thought it’d be.
We always told them we want things to be optional, and now this is an extension so I dunno. Seems they’re listening?
