- Comment on Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome. 14 hours ago:
The goal of the Privacy Sandbox initiative is to develop new ways to strengthen online privacy while ensuring a sustainable, ad-supported internet.
Like, that’s all you need to know about what it ever was.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 16 hours ago:
A typical 4chan user is very concerned about privacy, because it’s a place they do stuff they wouldn’t do elsewhere.
Once a trust is broken, it is very hard to regain. Technically, nothing stops it from appearing again. But will the userbase follow?

Only one way to find out! :D
- Comment on Papra, the minimalistic document archiving platform 1 day ago:
For future reference: there are fields “URL” (the link) and “Thumbnail URL” (the picture). If you paste the image, the Thumbnail URL field disappears, and picture URL appears in URL field.
Cut it, and Thumbnail URL field appears again. Paste it into the Thumbnail URL field, and enter the link to whatever you want to be opened into the URL field again.
Voila - you have a link AND a custom picture. It’s weird, it shouldn’t work this way, but it works.

A good thing about Lemmy is that you can change instance/make your own and do and promote anything you like. That’s the fundamental difference.
You can be banned from a community, from instance, even. But not from Lemmy as a whole.
A fundamental shift may occur when more people of the same views start alternative communities where such pressures are absent.

That’s you, but it should be on the state level so that every parent is given everything to make parenthood go smooth.
People got used to comfort and are not willing to sacrifice their standards of living for having children, especially through a recession. Make them feel secure about their present and future - and birth rates will grow.
- Comment on For me, it's going to be Fediverse or nothing 4 days ago:
In my eyes, being adequately supported means not having any financial difference between having vs not having children. If that would be the case, there wouldn’t be a financial incentive to not have them.
If we go above that (incentivise parenting even more), it’s just throwing money at the problem in hopes it will go away. If someone will only have kids if they’ll be rewarded on top of having extra expenses covered, they are basically parenting for money and this won’t end well.
As per taking advantage of the social system - the more people overclaim something, the better the regulations become. There could be a certain ceiling on the types of support that could be taken at the same time, for example. As per unemployed folks living on subsidies - unless they have a valid reason they can’t work (and there are those), they should get mandatory public employment if they stay in the unemployed status for a while - one that would respect their disabilities and limitations, if there are any, of course.

I fail to see advantages over the expansion of direct support for families with kids.
If such families would be adequately supported, parents wouldn’t be so financially disadvantaged and this would automatically resolve the issue of assets as well.
Paying it as part of pensions on the condition of children working in the home country makes people’s finances directly reliant on the actions of independent actors (their adult children) and punishes people who, for example, cannot have children in the first place due to medical reasons, lack of a partner, etc. It also doesn’t bring financial support when it’s needed the most.
And relying on asset accumulation and personal investments as a source of pension funding is quite odd to me to begin with, as salaries don’t always reflect the good done for society (for example, public sector work is often paid more poorly, despite bringing maximum value for the state), and also because personal investments cannot be done with the same precision, competence and risk management as the funds do (and even if you invest in funds, they take a cut). I believe asset accumulation should be minimized in favor of public support nets (including decent pensions and good living conditions for everyone).

I guess you’re getting downvoted by those offended. It absolutely is.
Note: I am left, communist in fact, but the way political topics are discussed is a clear doomer circlejerk. I’d love to at least see more variety over “Trump is stupid, Elon is mad, senators are bootlickers, death to Nazis, we’re all gonna die”. Like, yeah, we got it and we know it. What next? Any political action, maybe?

As an alternative to Obsidian, there is Trilium. Much the same stuff, but actually open-source

OBS, Portmaster, Trilium, FlightGear
+all the minimalist Adwaita apps on the Flathub. Love 'em.
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 5 days ago:
That’s a massive shot in the foot.
As a Synology owner, I already had enough - they have arbitrarily cut support to sanctioned jurisdictions, leaving me without the support I expected when paying for a device.
Next one will definitely be built from the ground up.

Yep, but that’s just a small piece of it. But it was nice.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 5 days ago:
Nah, I started with Skyrim, and I played Oblivion without mods. It’s not great, problematic in many places, but it is playable if you want to discover the story.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 6 days ago:
I would certainly love to see Morrowind remake.
Oblivion is at least playable for newer gamers. It’s not a good experience, but it is manageable.
Morrowind, for all its immense benefits, makes everyone who entered the game scene after 2010 scream in terror. I personally never left Balmora, because it’s just a terrible experience by modern standards (graphics, character animation, battle mechanics…), which is a great shame because the game seems to be great otherwise.
TES I and II, while deserving recognition, are very Doom-like in terms of gameplay, and I don’t believe an adequate remake could be made, because they are so different they can’t adequately be turned into a modern experience.
So, I guess for me all hopes are for Skywind, so I could finally walk the streets of Vivec without the need to fork my eyes.

- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 week ago:
Let me fix that for you: Sony: we’ll let the whole world pay astronomical amounts of money because it makes us rich! And if someone calls us on it, we’ll say it’s all because of the US!
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 1 week ago:
I’m sorry to hear about your situation - I’m in a somewhat similar financial position myself - but people are people, and in any income bracket there are things to be concerned about.
For you and me, it’s getting enough money to eat. For someone else, it is affording a Switch. For others, it’s the rise in the price of caviar forcing them into cheaper options.
Interestingly enough, all of this causes a significant amount of stress, and should you eventually get more money to spare, then after a brief euphoria you’ll have the same worries about Switch prices and other things you don’t seem to care about now.
In any case, I wish you all the best and hope you’ll find your way out of a situation. Hope your spouse gets the surgery and becomes able to work, you have your teeth, and everyone lives a bit happier going forward.
