They already were the first? I still remember when I upgraded Firefox on my phone and all of the extensions were gone. It's nice that they're finally bringing them back after all these years, but it's just a return to the way things used to be.

EDIT: Headline here was changed from the original article, which doesn't claim "first", just "only".

Also a great option. I like their tiling window manager and the other gnome extensions they've done. I'm also generally excited about the work they're doing with Cosmic as a new DE.

You're going to get a lot of comments about Ubuntu and snaps. Definitely one of the reasons I switched away from it.

The analogy would be that I get a robot to identify the ads in the magazine and cut them out before I have to see them. That's what ad blockers do, but on a computer instead of IRL.

I don't know why I'd flip out when encountering a paywall or login. It works out great, and as a society we don't have to end up with ads enshittifying everything they touch.

You're missing the point, but your example is perfect. If I have a magazine or newspaper, I'll cut the advertisements out of them if I damn well please, and they can't stop me. Sure, I'm not entitled to their hosting or their content, but that's what paywalls or logins are for. When you hand off a document to someone, expect that they'll do what they want with it, because that's the way the world works, and also the way it should work.

Also, fuck billboards. They should be banned, like several states already do.

You've got yourself mixed up. They're not entitled to my compute, or my eyeballs. They handed my browser a pile of HTML, and I'll do what I want with it.

It's working for me, posting this from lemmy.world

I like it. You'd probably like the SCP project's classifications as well:

My SO just set up a new account because of Netflix's new policies. Like it or not, it's working out well for Netflix

I've never heard of either of these. I've got Signal and Element/Matrix. Why should I care about anything else?

You could buy them a drink to install it. That's how I got my family onto Signal. I also got my GF onto Element, but she's also obligated to put up with my shit

As long as you've got music files with some sort of metadata, beets is great. Handles messy metadata really well, and regularizes it while importing it into your library. Works off of musicbrainz, so I assume it will play nicely with the picard tool that other people have mentioned, but I haven't played with yet.

My big hope with the fediverse is that stuff like that can be contained. lemmy.world is the big instance where most anything goes. If you're looking for quality curated content, then you've got places like beehaw.org. Similar to /r/AskHistorians, but that was always an awkward system. Is /r/AskPlumbers or whatever up to the same standards, or just some rando subreddit? Now, if you find a community like ancientegypt@askhistorians.org, then you can explore the other communities on the instance and be reasonably assured that they're also up to snuff.

Also, I think the memes and other easily-ingestable content is a healthy sign. It draws people to the fediverse, and then they can discover more niche communities that make them stay long-term. The memes aren't for everyone, but the memes help everyone get good communities.

In that image, you could color yellow into purple since it's not touching purple. Then, you could color the red inner piece to yellow, and have no red in the inner pieces.

Not so much a fact, but I've always liked the prime spirals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulam_spiral

Also, not as impressive as the busy beaver, but Knuth's up-arrow notation is cool: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_up-arrow_notation

The trick is to do it on a table you don't care about, like your crappy roommates' table that's definitely not an antique, Greg.

Angle just the cap onto the edge of a table and pound it with your fist. Results not guaranteed

!datahoarder@lemmy.ml looks active and seems like a good place for it

coredumpctl might help, it keeps track of whenever a process just ups and dies hard.
