What do you block people for?
I don't on Lemmy because it doesn't really do anything besides hiding their posts. On Mastodon I block people who are AI trolls, political trolls, reactionaries, and in general people who are hostile. People who are objectively horrible people, sometimes it's because I see them doing it, but other times because they lashed out directly at me. Most blocks on Mastodon are preceded by reports to server admins but I still block them because it usually takes time for people to be moderated.
Thing is, Pocket is also an extension. Just much less optional. If Mozilla makes this AI thing part of their flagship in a lot of the same ways. Possibly even more. It's not about what it is now, but rather what it means for the future of Mozilla and Firefox.
It is but it's also natural for them, they're slowly transitioning to a closed source company like all the other big tech companies. The hope is that we don't notice, or that those of us who do notice are a small minority who can be stomped out or discredited by those who don't notice or are in their pocket.
Reddit too used to be open source, they're not anymore. This shit does happen, regardless of what anyone says.
I can see the opposite argument made for copyright that if someone can coast off the success of their first work that in and of itself can de-incentivize them from making anything new, this is why movie companies just remake the same movies and stories every few years, it's to coast on the success of the old one, and this is even a problem with shorter term copyrights. Their limiting factor is with the technology of the time making the old ones look dated, not so much the copyright expiring. If it didn't look dated, they would just re-release the same ones over and over and over again.
Copyright was made for Joe, or a small business, but applying that to a big business doesn't work, and is in fact a bad-faith argument, trying to tug at our heart-strings to make us feel bad for someone that we shouldn't feel bad for. If Disney couldn't sue people for copyright infringement they'd still find a way to go after them, they have more than enough money to hire a PI to ruin the person's life, or you know just hire a hitman. It doesn't do anyone any favors to Compare Disney, Paramount, Amazon, Facebook, or Google to a small business who needs our help to not be screwed over.
Ironically in this day and age it doesn't do as much for those small businesses anymore because they don't have the money needed to fight those claims, you know who does though, the big ones, the ones who don't need protection at all. They're free to predate on these smaller people if they choose, and those smaller people will be otherwise powerless to fight back, and even if by some stroke of luck they do, it'll likely bankrupt them because of it.
Yeah there really are not that many here, and while there are probably more who hide in the background, it's nowhere near what the Reddit scabs/stans claim when they talk shit about Lemmy and alternative platforms in general.
Eventually it will, these for-profit venture capitalist companies always eat themselves sooner or later, it's only a matter of time.
Funny how they have the audacity to complain about this place being botted when their bot problem is so, SO much worse.
Unfortunately people like that tend to be on the less logical side of things, in addition they also tend to believe themselves to be superior to others, so it's unlikely he'll actually do any research on that matter. It's likely that for him in gaming communities in the past this approach has worked, as those communities typically do not challenge baseless accusations or logical fallacies, not how it works in intelligent communities though, maybe he will learn it eventually, though in my experience on Reddit people like that have no restraint or filter whatsoever, they only stop once they have been hit with the ban hammer.
Well the question is, do you want to be a girl or want to be trans? Generally that's usually enough to mean it is so already.
Yeah I just realized my mistake of getting them backwards, I just fixed it. Glad I was still able to make the point even though I made an embarrassing mistake 😅
Doesn't happen to everyone, I should know, I've done it plenty of times and I'm still not a girl.
I have a nice Pikachu hoodie which said it's for women on the site I ordered it from but I didn't care because it's cute and I liked it. The only thing that's mildly annoying is having to think about the sizing difference (which I guess is kind of the point of the separate sizing numbers, just to be that extra bit of annoying for people who want it anyway).
As long as you buy the right size it shouldn't be an issue, most clothing in standardized sizes aren't much different between the genders besides the number being different (a men's size S will be a women's size M) so as long as you get the size right it'll be fine.
Edit: Size comparison flipped the wrong way, fixed it.
It's naturally meant for someone who is breastfeeding and contains nutrients which would be helpful in that process, though ultimately they are just food, for someone who isn't breastfeeding the extra ingredients don't have any effect (it's not like they'll cause lactation in males if that's what you're wondering).
If you don't have anything nice to say best not to say it at all...

The lack of sandboxing is concerning though. Regardless of DRM needs. After all a web browser is basically a JavaScript runtime environment that runs code from all over the web. Having that not be sandboxed is a serious risk, even on operating systems like Linux where applications generally run with restricted privileges.
Wow you're still here? I actually forgot about you, but I guess you're still thinking of me, projection much?
I'm glad we had this conversation because it's rare that people like yourself have your faulty logic and shitty opinions challenged. But if you want to stop hearing from me, there's an easy way to do so, though I don't think you will because just how you said it, I'm living rent free in your head, and you just can't stop thinking of me.
The point is that people think that it's effective. It's the illusion of security, which does actually keep some of the more stupid spammers and bad actors at bay. It doesn't stop the ones that are determined though, nothing does.
It's best to report people who engage in harassment, trolling, and bad behavior in-general. That way they can be identified and actioned by moderators and admins.
In the case of people on other sites it's best to message the admins of the other server directly so they may take action accordingly.
