That is what F-Droid would be, on Android. If it survives…
Of course, we have SailfishOS, postmarketOS, and other small ones, too.

Some have even said they don’t want their game page to create a Steam subforum.
Which is allowed, as far as I know?

It could allow to hide the content of the review, but still count it in the total (recommended / not recommended).
Personally I am not in favour, and I see negative bigoted reviews as legitimate reviews. I wouldn’t hold on the same level professional reviews, but it’s only random players we are discussing here. Let’s not pretend that the positive reviews are always constructive, either. - Comment on Ladybird Browser adopts Rust, with help from AI 2 days ago:

Google’s monopoly is a bigger problem than one guy having confused ideas, to me.

There are more chickens on Earth than humans. I understand your question is hypotetical, but it is more likely we humans are going extinct before chickens.

I believe the answer is simply to give better moderation tools to the developers on their own games’ Store and Forum pages, since it’s developers who seem to have an issue with current moderation.

I don’t see as relevant a possible connection of archive.today to someone based in Russia.
The only facts that should be relevant are that the manager of it is an egomaniac, andcannot be trusted. - Comment on Until further notice: archive.today/archive.is/archive.ph/... is banned from this community for apparently being a Russian DDOS tool - Lemmy.World 4 days ago:
Is your comment in the thread about Wikipedia banning archive.today?
- Comment on Littering 🚯 4 days ago:
The greater surface area allows a much higher level of contamination
Bird hunting is typically done with carttridges filled with tens or hundreds of pellets, to maximise the surface of the shot and enhance chances to actually hit the prey.
Most of the pellets in this cloud do not hit anything, hence they just directly fall in the water/ground. - Comment on Littering 🚯 4 days ago:
@vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works Probably that too, but the major cause is that hunters eviscerate the prey on the spot, so that the meat will last longer and retain a better taste.
Despite not being a biologist, it is a topic I deeply care about. I have held a few presentations too, for friends and university colleagues. - Comment on Littering 🚯 4 days ago:
No, it’s due to these birds eating other human-hunted animals, either alive or their abandoned interiora.

This is not exclusively an American problem. Eagles in the Italian alps are dying mostly of lead poisoning, too.

Ungulates and rodents, mostly.

You provided links to the Web Archive and to GhostArchive, but not to archive.today
I am curious: is this after you have learned of Wikipedia’s decision to ditch it, since it’s been proven to alter the content of the archived pages?

I do whatever I want regardless. That you go out of your way to defend the multi-billion company from copyright theft is pointless, when nowadays agents like Meta have been reported stealing millions of copyrighted materials and nothing happened.

You were right in your first comment, but this is plainly false. Not pirating, mind, but making copies of what you already own is legal, at least in US and most of Europe.

uBlock origin is the same code on mine or yours machine. It does not need a graphics card, nor uses some particular instuctions of the CPU.
On Firefox Stable on Flathub at the time of writing, with default settings and default lists, it will work as expected on Youtube. - Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 1 week ago:
uBlock Origin on Firefox with default settings and filterlists still works successfully on Youtube.

The whole purpose of a news reporter is kind of to get their news right.
If they can’t do that, their service is worthless. - Comment on Ars Technica makes up quotes from Matplotlib maintainer("An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"); pulls story 1 week ago:
It used to be respectable ten years ago, back chen it had a .co.uk website too.
