Forget the socks, where do I get a top like that?

Is it chilling? I was already going to stay where I am, whether I made a copy or not. Sharding off a replica to go on for me would be strictly better than not doing that

But like… do I care? “I” will survive, even if I’m not the one who does the surviving.

No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape

Huh? That sounds like what? Gov–

Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME

There are people in PR thread explaining it’s a reference to this screenshot. Which is fake, for the record.

It’s also not necessarily paid for, Jiffy Reader is a free browser addon

More like cope pilot.

Epochalypse…

God, they even want to make leisure time into a side hustle. Is it so much to ask that they let me not think about my participation in capital for like, two hours?

Wear a facemask with 255.255.255.0 and/or /24 sharpied on it and if anyone asks, tell them you’re complying with mask mandates

Among other things, it powered legacy extensions, and let them do far more than the essentially crippled WebExtensions

I don’t, tbh. I did, for 15 years, because it was the most customizable and feature-rich browser on the market, but when they killed XUL support all my important shit broke, 15 years of customizations and getting things just how I wanted them, and instead of spending that again I migrated to Vivaldi essentially out of spite.

Yo, is C# named that because a # is made of four plusses?

Well I hate that. Is there a reason m=1 wouldn’t be the same thing as m=!0?

Nah, make it a keybind like alt-shift-click and give it a deafening sound like throwing an industrial breaker.

I’m on Vivaldi so I don’t know how many of these are available to Firefox. Leaving out all the obvious ones like adblocker, password manager, userscripts, etc.

Privacy Pass; do less captchas. Every time you solve a captcha, it stores a few “tokens” in your browser, essentially verifying you as human extra times at once. The next few times you encounter the same brand of catcha, your browser will “spend” one of those tokens to automatically be treated as high confidence, skipping the captcha.

Bot Sentinel; puts a little score next to people’s names on Twitter, showing how often they’ve been reported to the Bot Sentinel site for various things like spam, trolling, or hatespeech; it’s nice to know at a glance when you just shouldn’t engage with someone.

Jiffy Reader; when it’s enabled, hilights the first couple letters of every word, which is great for ADHD because it makes your automatic reflex be to look at each word one at a time, rather than skim the whole section.

Teleparty; watch netflix, etc, with friends, with a little built-in chatroom

Trim; show IMDB/Rotten Tomato ratings on netflix, etc, thumbnails; a real minor tweak, but I’m a big fan

Beyond20 and the VTT Enhancement Suite; specialized D&D addons that made playing online so much easier during the pandemic. Beyond20 pipes your character sheet macro rolls from D&D Beyond directly into Roll20, and VTTES adds all sorts of bonus functionality to Roll20.

helps my ADHD

Only barely related, but have you ever tried JiffyReader? It highlights the first segment of each word, which is supposed to help ADHDers focus on each word instead of skimming over whole sentences/paragraphs/pages at once. It does help me like, some.

Yeah, when Mozilla killed XUL extensions, he didn’t think there was any way to make it work in WebExtensions. I thought he had quit! I remember having to spend a couple days figuring out how to use Jdownloader for the same tasks. I’m glad he got back on the horse

I don’t know that they’re forgetting it. Both types of forum exist here. There’s plenty of general-purpose instances, but there’s plenty of specific instances too. At a casual glance, maybe a third of the instances on the join-lemmy list? startrek.website is a Star Trek-focused instance. programming.dev is a programming-focused instance. lennygrad.ml is a marxism-focused instance. There’s a wet shaving instance, there’s a cyberpunk instance, there’s a solarpunk instance, there’s a magic: the gathering instance, there’s a dungeons and dragons instance, there’s a pathfinder instance, there’s a science instance, there’s a science & nature instance, there’s SEVERAL furry instances, there’s a general anime/manga instance and also instances for specific anime or manga, hell there’s an instance just for butts.

If you want to join a focused instance and focus on that topic, just like old-style forums, that’s already just a thing you can do. You don’t have to take advantage of federation.

the less I ventured out.

That’s turned out to be a big thing for me, too. When I was younger, I’d spend literally hours a day on StumbleUpon some days, just clicking through niche sites I’d never find otherwise, and submitting new ones I found that I thought other people would like. It was a competition to find the most interesting little-known sites! Now I spend 70% of my browsing time on Reddit, just passively seeing what other people have found.

It’s time to get back out there!
