This is why .NET code compiles to platform-independent binaries that get JIT translated to machine code and optimized for the target CPU.
Developers don't need to do anything (the applications don't even need to be re-compiled), they will just get conditionally optimized when appropriate.
I only use the Subscriptions feed, and use an extension that blocks recommendations and shorts.
Additionally, before watching any video I'll check the channel page to see if YouTube is hiding any of that person's videos from me (which they do even on the Subscriptions feed sometimes).
Fuck the algorithm.
You don't need a mail server if all you want is a custom email domain. You can just use something like CloudFlare DNS to have them forward all emails to your domain to another private email address (e.g. Gmail).
Opera 12 was my main browser until it died and was replaced by a completely unrelated and terrible browser called Opera 2013. Opera 12's spiritual successor is Vivaldi, and that's what I still use now.
Vivaldi is the only browser that has all of the UI features that I want... No amount of extensions and customization of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox has been able to come anywhere close to matching it.
Some people here are failing at basic reading comprehension… so many comments talking about “Lemmy clients”, when the whole point is that this for links from OUTSIDE of Lemmy.
That being said, I wonder if this couldn’t be solved by Lemmy directly somehow…? Ideally we could have some way to say “this is my home” that any given instance could know and redirect you from any linked instance back to your home, without any middle-man.
But I don’t know of any way to share that data without some central repository host (which obviously goes against the fediverse vision). Ideally there could be some kind of “shared local storage” in the browser that all instances could use, but I’m not aware any way to do that.
Obviously a browser extension would work, but I don’t think that’s a good solution.
This sounds like a job for digital signatures using traditional certificate authority infrastructure, which has been around for decades. Think digitally signed emails or software installers… Seems like NFTs made society collectively forget about every other form of encryption.
Also keep in mind that you can only ever verify the source, not the truthfulness of the data (e.g. you can prove that the image was created by New York Times and hasn’t been altered since then, but you will never be able to prove that NYT themselves didn’t fake it in some way). Verifying the source is obviously still useful though, so it seems dumb that digital signatures aren’t more ubiquitous.
My guess is that they’ve been resisted for privacy reasons.
The problem is that almost all electronics available online (not just on Amazon) are rebranded Chinese bargain bin garbage marked up by 10x and people think "it must be good because it's expensive".
Really your only option is to either accept that everything is disposable and will need to be replaced frequently, or to find the "good" brands and stick to them.
That last part is by design... it's why a lot of this shit is perpetuated by the same parent company under a different name, to create a "hostile environment" to make it so you can't shop around for cheaper prices.
