You can customize the Firefox UI entirely by making modifications to userChrome.CSS.

And there are some really good addons for tab management in Firefox.

Seems to be working fine with ublock turned on

Oh yes, I have heard a lot of cases like this related to freenom. They deactivate domains that get traction and resell them at a premium (mostly to spammy ad networks that hoard domains).

What happened to them?

Okay, so you will get a notification that there was a call but can’t really attend it. That’s still pretty neat!

Huh, I wonder if there are downvoting bots set up by trolls then…

Yes, it definitely seem underrated.

About the downvotes, this is not the first time that has happened. I have been repeatedly getting downvoted on some of the tech or related communities on Lemmy instances recently for completely innocuous comments. Since I am on kbin, they don’t impact me in anyway, but I have been puzzled about it. The only explanation I can come up with is something I wrote at some point offended someone and they are just down voting whatever post they see of mine with multiple accounts.

Not very familiar with using Matrix bridges, can they handle WhatsApp calls? (Not asking about Signal because I would like to keep using it)

Never thought of this possibility. This is really interesting.

I still use them for my TV and AC remotes, flashlights and wall clocks.

I never realised that many people don’t need to use it anymore.

At this rate, this AI bandwagon will ruin a whole lot of our beloved places.

Wow!

Everyone in that Telegram group, including her, needs help.

I use Firefox with ublock origin and haven’t seen it yet.

Which device doesn’t run VLC?

He his contributions have been more than Goodenough. Rest in peace!

But Telegram also have access to more info about its users, considering that messages are not end to end encrypted by default, than Signal does of its. This means that Telegram can share any data it wants, its users are just hoping that it won’t. In the case of Signal, they don’t have access to any meaningful data in the first place.

This is third place I am posting this to, but whatever:

When the Twitter migration happened, a lot of folks got overenthusiastic about the idea of the fediverse and started setting up their own Mastodon instances, despite having little to no experience with selfhosting before.

A lot of such instances have since shut down as they realised the amount of efforts that actually needs into hosting such a platform, especially instances with open registrations. However, a large number of them did survive and are now thriving.

Has the growth rate slowed? Sure, just like it is expected happen after a sudden influx. But it is false to say that Mastodon growth has stalled. Instead, the phrase I would use is ‘stabilized’. Mastodon growth has stabilized into a healthy level as user growth is now happening more organically. Some stats below:

12,808,214 accounts +217,864 in the last week

Stats on most active instances:

By number of users:

By number of posts:

How can anyone look at these numbers and say that the growth has stalled?

There are reports of gunfire at half-way between Rostov and Moscow already. But yeah, I don’t think they will manage to reach close to Moscow within a day https://nitter.net/igorsushko/status/1672434377425551361#m

Without the Wagner group, Russia will have much lesser professional troops on their side. And this entire thing could also have a severe impact on the morale of the soldiers.

This is either going to fizzle out in the next few days or get really ugly.

The same group of people who find child labour and forcing a child to go through pregnancy completely acceptable?

This will happen. A lot of people did this initially in Mastodon, but it just resulted in feeds getting spammed by reposts from Twitter and drowning out actual posts. Most such users just ended up getting blocked, and others stopped reposting blindly on the fear of getting blocked. My mastodon feed looks so much better without those annoying reposts.

What the fuck?

This looks really cool!

Of course gamer bros are salty about this!
