  • The internet has ruined me. I spent way too long looking for Sadaam.

  • I added a bit to my reply, but if you have decent libel laws in your country, you may be able to get a lawyer involved:

    Initial lawsuit targets:

    • Blog hosting provider
    • Discord
    • If either the blog host or Discord provides the identity, then you can go after them in court directly
  • Permanently Deleted

  • The troll in question ... Has been banned from multiple places for being a Nazi apologist, transphobe, and pedophile

    Ask yourself this: Do you really care what that person (or the kind of people who follow that person online) thinks?

    Not sure what country you're in, but in the US, you're basically describing Alex Jones. He's done this shit for years, and It took the Sandy Hook shooting survivors' families to finally take him down, and he's still fighting / shouting lies.

    Best outcome is suing them for libel, but it's going to be an uphill battle.

  • I get that, but even with limited choices, one is always worse than the other. More often than not, casting a vote is more damage control than expressing your support. And I wish people in my country would understand that. While they're hemm-hawing around waiting for the perfect, ideologically pure candidate, the bad one is getting full support from his side.

  • This is why showing up to vote, not throwing your vote away, and making smart/informed choices at the ballot are so crucial. Once a bad politician digs in, good luck getting them out.

  • "I have a headache. Bring me one of the pink pills from my desk. Now, you'll probably think it's a paperweight; it's not."

  • I've never been enamored with social media in general (this is my last vestige of it), so it doesn't bother me much; like you said, 'Same as it ever was'. The only thing that does is seeing that kind of behavior bleed over into real life.

  • It's even worse than that.

    With social media, no one ever really ever gets to know anyone (in general; there are obviously exceptions). We call the topic-based groups here "communities" but they're anything but. People just read your comments in a vacuum, put on their judge's robe, make snap decisions (often taking you completely out of context or putting words in your mouth), and start throwing labels/accusations around. Then the bandwagon effect kicks in, the keyboard warrior lynch mob shows up, and fuck you, I guess?

  • You'd think. I mean, Firefox Mobile has full PWA support, so it's not like they're blind to what "PWA" means for most people (assuming the mobile and desktop teams actually talk to one another).

    I've held out hope this long, so I suppose I can wait a bit longer. The announcement just got my hopes up, and I was pretty salty when I read the actual details of how they're (initially?) implementing it.

  • but I assume this is a face-eating leopard farm

    In sooo many ways.

    • Voted for leopard, leopard's tariffs are screwing her over
    • Was awarded a $400,000 grant (under Biden) but now that's frozen, can't get reimbursed.
    • Can't hire H-2A visa workers.
    • "Nobody wants to work anymore" attitude
    • Complaining she had to spend $200,000 of her own money to renovate her house. Claims it's a business expense.
    • Can't use taxpayer money to pay her staff and can't stay afloat without government subsidies she would likely deny anyone else.

    The usual "I got mine" attitude and subsequent whining when the consequences of their own actions finally affects them personally.

  • Same, though only for my self-hosted webapps and the occasional odd website that hates FF. I've not had any issues with YT in FF like some people have reported over the last several months. I would love to ditch Chromium entirely though.

  • Firefox announced it was finally adding support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) after years of ignoring its own user's request to do so.

    FINALLY! 🎉

    The flag is there, but it currently doesn't do anything.....

    Oh...

    ...web apps in Firefox will not use a minimal browser frame and will continue to show a main toolbar with address bar, ...

    Does....Mozilla understand why people want/have been asking for PWA support? Because it sure as hell doesn't seem like it.

    Element, Emby, CodeServer, Tesseract/Photon/Alexandrite/Lemmy-UI, Pairdrop, HomeAssistant, Nextcloud, and more. You know what all those have in common? I can "install" them in Chromium and they appear exactly like native desktop apps. THAT IS WHAT WE WANT, MOZILLA.

  • Rule of Acquisition 76: Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.

  • It was too hard to meat the butcher, and the candlestick maker was a bit of a drip.

    • New Yak City
    • Chicag-Oh, shut up already
    • Utter Pradesh
    • Talky-o (Talk-yo?)
  • At least in Russia, they're arrested/jailed and used for political leverage / prisoner exchanges. Trump's regime just doing it to be cruel.

  • To get a better player, yeah, that works. But the meme was more for the general content found in /shorts/ videos.

  • were you a subscriber of that community?

    Was, yes.

    would it have been better in a DM?

    Nope. Because it's an unsolicited message I didn't opt to receive. I'm also not subscribing to the new one b/c I'm starting to get annoyed with the notion that communities need to be consolidated. That's not a discussion for this post, though.
