Specifically, ublock origin. The “origin” part is important.

Idk, I preferred meatspin and lemonparty.

Votes on lemmy are inherently public, due to how federation works.

So… does anyone know how legal/illegal piracy is in the Netherlands and Finland?

Ghostery, Privacy Badger, etc, are all redundant if you have ublock origin anyway. uBO blocks all the stuff they block, and having multiple blockers makes it more likely they’ll interfere with each other.

Lately?

Overall users? Probably not. The casual lurker does not know or care what an API is.

But the vast majority of content is made by a tiny fraction of the user base, and that fraction are the ones they pissed off. The quality of posts on large subs very much went down, with repost bots becoming even more prominent than before.

According to what Unity reps said elsewhere, they have no way of knowing what’s a bought install, what’s a demo, what’s a charity bundle, what’s a pirated install, and what is someone loading a webpage with a WebGL program integrated (every page view = 1 install).

Instead, they want to estimate how much people owe them. Using secret methods with no accountability.

Idk, sounds like victim blaming to me.

So nothing’s changed then?

For me at least, lack of open sign ups immediately makes me not join an instance. It’s why I didn’t join lemmy the first few times I saw it talked about on reddit, when the main instance was lemmy.ml.

uncorrupt government

I think you meant “free real estate for the CIA and their a puppet dictators”.

It’s what happens every time another country doesn’t want to sell their natural resources for pennies.

That is the result, but Elon is too much of a prideful idiot to do it intentionally. But it’s entirely possible some of the others involved were aiming for that.

Dude what. How thin-skinned does someone need to be to get upset over a joke like that from a random person on the internet?

According to the /r/ModCoord thread, those are humans, kind of - the first one was a friend of the only active former mod that had an AI write that text for the lulz and posted it. The second was someone that copied it, hoping for exactly this result. And then, with two identical posts, the memelords took over.

I went with lemm.ee, seems like a good one.
