Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit?
  • tb_ tb_ 2d ago 100%

    this place simply isn't big enough to have the niche communities

    Yeah. Wanted to recommend Lemmy to a friend, but the few topics they were mainly interested in had little to no engagement.

  • YSK: You might be unknowingly doxxing yourself by sharing links containing trackers
  • tb_ tb_ 3d ago 100%

    Generally anything that comes after a questionmark in a URL can be safely stripped out, though not always. The random string of characters you get after a youtu.be link is tracking, the ?t=123 is a timestamp.

    uBlock Origin also has a filter built-in, though you have to enable it. It's under Filter Lists > Privacy > AdGuard URL Tracking Protection

  • Movies with the widest gap between ranks given by women and men.
  • tb_ tb_ 3d ago 100%

    The distribution seems odd, yeah. Most of the women ranked movies are from after 2000, whereas the men ones are pre-1990

    Rule: Even the pedophile vans must be small in Europe
  • tb_ tb_ 4d ago 100%

    Make them electric, lay bicycle paths that cut through the otherwise windy nonsensical suburban layouts, and you have something decent.

    It may not work for even more remote, even more spread-out areas but that's okay.

  • The irony of powering AI on atomic energy.
  • tb_ tb_ 4d ago 97%

    Nuclear's problem is that, when an issue happens, it is so very visible.

    The millions of people dying every year to air pollution are far more spread out, so who cares?

    You're more likely to crash in a car, yet people are (generally) far more scared of planes.

  • Elon Musk Apparently Managed to Sue Unilever Into Advertising on X Again

    which just put out a flavor in honor of Kamala Harris.

    Such a progressive company, they even left Russia!

    Close to three years late.

    At least they did it, but also a reminder that corporations aren't your friend.

  • Mazda's $10 subscription for remote start sparks backlash after killing open source workaround via DMCA takedown
  • tb_ tb_ 1w ago 100%

    If it does then I wonder how a free tool could do it.

    And if you do, indeed, need to pay for the car's cellular then I hope features such as these are included.

    I can understand the remote start from the app being a paid thing for sure.

    But why would it need to be? The connectivity from the app is there already, it takes the manufacturer very little to handle the occasional web request. Especially if it can be done for free through third party software.

    Nah, they can afford to fly their daughters out.

    You could have some sort of account with the browser company. They aggregate site visits, then do a monthly payout.

    But that would mean storing history for users? Though surely there's a way to anonimize that.

  • Halo developer 343 Industries rebrands, confirms multiple new games
  • tb_ tb_ 2w ago 100%

    That's cool and all but I won't trust Microsoft with anything anymore. I've really liked Halo in the past, but I won't be buying anything they put out.

    Drunk cycling rule
  • tb_ tb_ 2w ago 100%

    no, but nobody cares

    Can confirm.

    Biking is generally pretty safe here, most bigger roads will have dedicated, separated cycle paths. And (generally) it isn't about getting on your bike whilst you're hammered, but when you have had more than 2/3 drinks to the point where driving would be unsafe.
