Have you tried it though? I find that it’s not lootbox-like in any way, although to some extent I suppose it depends on who you follow.

Probably that part when you get chained to a rock and the gods keep you alive so that birds can come along and eat your liver every day.

I do not accept “infinite scroll” as shorthand for all that bullshit. I don’t like infinite scroll much myself, for other reasons, but this is the Fediverse. There are plenty of people around here looking at pages containing nothing but things in chronological order posted by people they chose to follow, and choosing to load more by scrolling down.

How the scrollbar works says nothing about what’s on the page. You could make similar claims about web pages in general — you never really know if you’ll get what you were looking for. If anything, having to click “next” to try again would make it more like a loot box. But still not much like a loot box, usually.

Normally I’d avoid a VPN provider that has no presence in Canada because I like a nearby server for low latency, but if the good ones are forced to leave then nothing based in Canada will be secure.

There was a travelling circus that had a lion, and during its performances they noticed it did much better if they played certain kinds of music. This lion was into rap and ska, so they called it rap-ska-lion and rapscallion describes its personality.

It’s a weak minority government, the second and third place parties which hold the balance of power are firmly federalist, and if they did somehow manage to have a referendum they’d certainly lose it. There are other reasons to dislike the PQ but that they’re sovereigntist barely matters in the immediate future.

Congratulations Québec on finally getting rid of the CAQ. It was overdue.

No.

I download albums (through piracy or not) and add them to my modest mp3 collection the same way I used to buy CDs — once in a while when it seems like a good idea. If there’s an album I don’t think is worth listening to again, I delete it.

Not at present, but I have spent time living in the stereotypical suburbs where nobody walks anywhere.

The only day of the year children are allowed to go on foot beyond the end of their home driveway.

In addition to being more familiar due to anime, I find Japanese easier to listen to (although I don’t understand much) because when transliterated into English it’s quite easy to pronounce the words once you get the hang of it. Not even considering the tones, I think there are just fewer sounds in general and they’re all easy to learn. It’s not hard for an English speaker to understand what words are being spoken even if you don’t know what most of them mean.

The 1990 House of Cards is the one that deserves to be remembered.

Cool! I hadn’t seen that checkbox, it must mean they intend to maintain it at least until it becomes too difficult. Back to slightly less round buttons it is, then.

Don’t expect that to last, such settings are traditionally temporary. Mozilla normally removes them a relatively short time after the big new feature is released and any related bugs have had time to get sorted out.

I’m pretty sure librewolf doesn’t touch stuff like that.

But idk — my setup has so much custom css that the only rounded corners I notice are at the bottom of the urlbar autocomplete dropdown, where they don’t bother me. My tabs are still nice and square and below the url.

That’s a pretty high skill level social media stunt, I don’t think you have the ability for it. There aren’t many who do.

I’m willing to give it a try at least once if I get to haggle with the cashierbot over the price of my cheeseburger.

Which apps? I looking at f-droid yesterday and it seemed normal.
