A centralized frontend and a decentralized backend seems great in theory, but I'm not quite sure that's even possible without some one or some group owning the centralized frontend. And if one single entity controls the frontend, it defeats the purpose of decentralization. We want to avoid any one person or group owning the flow of our communication.

Great research! Thank you for at least looking into this, as I've been having this issue for months now. Just to add to your information, I'd probably rule out Ublock origin. Because it happens even when using Firefox on my Android, which doesn't have any plugins installed. I've even tried using Brave on my Android and still get the same behavior. Refreshing fixes it and logs me in automatically (sometimes). Other times I have to actually log in again. Hope this helps!

Sounds like you might just want the news without fluff.

I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.

They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what's happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.

They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com

Good god! That was a good laugh 😂. Desperate to advertise to people who don't want to be advertised to. Exploiting activity history of anonymous users? Uh... that's the whole reason people post anonymously. Because they don't want to be associated with their activity. How exactly is this a good strategy, again?

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

By community, do you mean just this particular Lemmy community or the community on Lemmy collectively? If the latter, there are other alternative Lemmy communities on other instances that may be better suited for you.

Just would hate to see someone leave Lemmy over toxic energy in one place. There's a big world here in fediverse!

Hehe

This is great news! Weird that I'm subscribed on all of the earlier Firefox GitHub discussions and didn't notice it. I wonder which version was the first to have Firefox support feature in it.

Ubuntu here as well! Sticking with just the LTS versions tho 😎

Ah ok. I use the acme.sh script. It's a pretty neat tool. Glad you got it all working again!

I've had this same problem in the past with a couple of packages. What did you end up moving to?

AKA "Trump roast" 😄

That was the first post. I posted another one a few months back that I've since deleted, which is probably why you can't see it.

I'm usually on mobile Brave browser on my Android. I'm always appearing to be logged out. But, sometimes, when I refresh, I'm suddenly automatically logged in. Other times I have to just login again.

Yup I realize its hard to to reproduce. Do you have a latest Android with mobile Brave browser you can test with?

Brought this same thing up in a post months ago and got quite a bit of downvotes and no help, so I never attempted to bring it up anymore lol. Maybe you'll have better luck. Saving this thread now... Thank you

The workaround I've been using is to just refresh the page. That tends to work... Sometimes... 🫠

Probably just for aesthetic to tease you. Then doesnt work when you click it. So business as usual, I guess... 🥲

Oh wow, I didn't know that! Is there any official statement? Search didn't turn up anything. I guess I don't necessarily need to know exactly how it went down, but I wanna be nosy. :D

Let's goooooo... wait. am I late? 😆

You shouldn't wait because it's going to happen. I moved all of my projects off of Github and Gitlab, and now self-hosting my own gitea instance. It's been great and never looked back!

We're all always dissatisfied with something

Yeah this doesn't make much sense to me either. The sudden influx of duplicate posts across Lemmy over the last couple of days makes it seem a little weird.
