That doesn't make sense, why would it only cause google.com to break? Also I tried turning it off completely, didn't work.

There are indeed many Lemmy instances that have captcha protection, it's really up to the instance admins if they want to protect or not. Many of those "spam" instances do get quickly defederated by the serious ones.

For years Reddit and Twitter were coexisting peacefully and it should be clear for everyone by now that each format has its pros and cons and they are used for different purposes. Was is a bit interesting though is that the active users gap between Mastodon and Lemmy seems to be much higher than it was/is with the corporate originals.

There are a lot of forks of Misskey which are more popular in the "West". I recommend you to have a look at Firefish, Iceshrimp, Catodon or Sharkey. Firefish used to gain a lot of traction but there was some personal drama going on with the original maintainer, causing the project to feel unmaintained for a while. Luckily the do have a new maintainer now. Anyway partially due to this problem some folk like the former community manager created a new fork Catodon. Iceshrimp also another direct fork of Firefish. So a bit of trivia from the FOSS Mastodon world. In the you might as well just use Mastodon if you are fine with the UI. But I love that we have so much variety in the FOSS ActivityPub World.

or instead of throwing more data/money at Big Tech try one of the self hosted instances of https://nextcloud.com/office/ or https://cryptpad.org/

Normies get confused by file systems, Apple is smart enough to understand the mind of the normie masses 😅

yeah cameras and their software is pretty much one of the few vendor specific aspects left in the android world that is worth comparing and maybe worth paying for. Of course flagship models like Pixels and the S series from Samsung certainly can deal with QR codes these days

Not sure about that, but at least can see I the mod log and the mod queue when using the Voyager app.

I found out that even without prime the delivery speed is sometimes the same here in Germany. They say it would take 1-2 days longer but quite often my amazon packages arrived early. Same for packaging cost. Sometime they adverdise the 0€ shipping costs with prime but it literally is also 0 without prime. I mean they are not lying, just not telling the whole truth xD

ok nice, never tried it on desktop yet as I have a lot more options to circumvent the walls there

you could just prepend 12ft.io to the URL and see if it works. In this case it does. https://12ft.io/https://www.wired.com/story/day-one-take-our-border-back-convoy-texas If you are on mobile, the most convenient way to get rid of the paywall is to use Firefox's reader mode with just one click on the little symbol right side of the URL

yeah I liked the area so I dod go for a walk. No resort, just something like an air b'n'b

no it's probably just the panorama view that lets it look like it is slipping down. It still looks impressive in reality but it probably won't slip down any time soon, I hope ;-)

nice, we can't get enough

don't tell them

that was unnecessary, FeelsBadMan

yes

it's been over a decade since I moderated any community but I really like the pics community, I'll help you out if you still need help

just bookmarked this post to remember it when some nerd tries to tell me again that federation solves all our problems in the wordl 😅
