  I guess I don’t care that much at this point but I’m out as soon as I see the first ad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  They banned journalists? Who?

  And I didn’t know about the redirects and tracking either. They are doing that without ads?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  They may fail but we better not be bailing them out!

  That’s all the talk so far? It feels like a bad sign to me when power starts moving from the true believers to the VCs.

  I’ve never seen that. How much memory do you have?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t remember the last time Firefox crashed on me and I’ve been using it for many years

  New ubo feature: if page does not grant permission to block ads then entire page is blocked.

  When I come across a paywall that is not circumvented by simple script blocking I don’t even bother to try anymore and I remove these suggestions from my feed.

  Absolutely. Too bad that even unobtrusive ads still can’t be trusted not to have trackers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

  “It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.”

  They act like we don’t know what we are doing and want the ads. People who block ads in browsers like ddg and brave choose those browsers for that reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that you can disable AI features on DuckDuckGo without cookies⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe that also works in Firefox now

  I’ve been on mastodon for 8 years and it’s ok but it can’t catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

  It shouldn’t take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

  Bot?

  I tried Jerboa and Voyager on Android before settling down with SUMMIT. I haven’t found a reason to change since.
