  • Also a good option to have these "blocks" synced over multiple accounts. I did not think of uBlock Origin at all. Thanks for the Suggestion!

  • That would be a great feature. I highly dislike the algorithm YouTube & co serve - as it is designed like a tar pit, just to keep you scrolling.

    But a Human curated list is basically like getting recommendations from a colleague.

  • I like the "All" feed, as it allows some new content. My Subscriptions are somewhat smallish and mostly used for focused reading. I am just used to get rid of a certain topic with maybe up to 3 blocks (I don't think there are many communities, which distribute over more than that many instances).

    You are absolutely right, trying to tell people what to post and consume online is an absolutely absurd idea. the trick is to figure out how to find your couple of topics.

    My current way of getting rid of unwanted topics is for sure not ideal. But most of the time it works just fine, when browsing randomly. Maybe i will get bored at some time and actually write a script. Thanks for the hint with https://lemmyverse.net/communities ! Hopefully i will remember to post the script here (if I ever get around to it) so others could profit from it. It seems like there might be a tiny audience for that :-)

  • there are pins you can put on a tie. usually just a gold button or something point symmetrical. like this: DDG link, but pointing to pinterest

    but i think it is quite funny, that this person 'aims' the gun at their own head...

  • i think they got the tomeline wrong... as far as i remember nazi germany offered simmilar deals to jews before forcefully deporting them.

    lets not talk about what happened after deportation. if the us gov is so bad with history, it might give them ideas...

  • What's going on with imgur right now?

    Jump

  • i guess there is pixelfed. but i would compare it more to instagram. many lemmy instances allow uploading pictures directly, so you dont necessarily need a separate host.

    but where i see the biggest caveat, is costs. cloud storage is not cheap and pictures are extremely large compared to text. therefore some lemmy instances only keep uploaded pics for a certain amount of time.

    I dont know whether imgur is keeping pictures for ever or not... so i am not sure if it federated imgur would solve the 'amnesia issue' of some lemmy instances.

  • Have you changed you youtube pfp to clippy ?

  • sometimes you don't have to (or can't) have a full plan A-Z. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere - usually with gathering ppl. euromaidan is a great example of that.

    but yes, louis could have put more concrete plans in his first video. as he has them. on the other hand he probably throws many things and sees what sticks. i guess that is what you have to do, if you try to change legislation against corpos with much more everything than you.

  • we can argue about the choice of symbol until the world ends. the symbol is just a thing people can recognise and rally around.

    the first step of any movement is to gather people. then do something. so yes, changing a picture is lazy, but it is a virtual rally point. he talks about next steps in another video: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/you-changed-your-profile-to-clippy-now:6

  • the myth of the good tech giant

    Jump

  • if us lefties could only jump over the hurdle of choosing the exact flavour before doing anything. there are more than enough people on the left side of the middle to achieve real change. but we are too caught up fighting minor differences.

    fasci, on the other hand, need nothing in common, except an indistinct hatred for random people. the german fascists didn't like religion at all, but officially worked with the christian church. still they rallied behind a religious symbol and would have died holding it up...

    meanwhile we are arguing if even having a symbol is worthwhile

  • exactly what i am talking about. age restriction at the physical store kept you away for a while, while not forcing an alternative/underground market. however, if you knew the only way to get it is on an alternative store - you would immediately have looked there.

  • if you can run a private server, you can get rid of all 'phone home' requirements.

    so you just need a cracked copy of the game itself. luckily it is completely legal to remove digital locks on anything you bought in many countries (not the usa though).

  • age verification is just a BS strawman. do you remember when we where young? we would access stuff and find ways to buy stuff. but whenever there was a reasonable but fair gap, it would be much harder to get whatever we wanted: buying weed was so much easier, than buying alcohol (without the appropriate age).

    pirating is easy (even i figured it out before having enough money to buy movies & games). so the kids will just pirate that stuff and get their way anyway. age verification at the store makes so much more sense. sure, there are ways to circumvent those. but it is a reasonable stop block.
