Firefox has ads. Very many ads. Out of the box, Firefox sends everything you type into the URL bar to a ‘search provider’. They also place traditional ads in the New Tab page, in the URL area chrome, and in your bookmarks. And probably other places I’m forgetting right now.

Why do you pronounce “le” as “el”?

Oh yeah I did mean cut/paste, my bad.
That’s actually not true. When you cut/paste a file on your computer (for most computers), it’s much faster than copying the file. Deleting the file is also not instant, so copy and delete should be the slowest of the three operations.
When you cut and paste a file, you’re just renaming the file or updating the file database. It’s different how that works depending on your file system, but it typically never involves rewriting much of the data of the file.
Edit: Fixed typo.
They absolutely do not draw the line at overt fascism. It’s already overt.
ITT people claim that a Google VPN is a bad product for all use cases because Google is not a privacy-respecting company. This ignores all non-privacy use cases for using a VPN.
And even for privacy, this would’ve been a product where the vendors interest in protecting your privacy and your interest in protecting your privacy aligned in the case where you were not hiding from Google. For example if you used a Chromebook laptop, used the Google Chrome browser, or used Google services like Google Search and Google YouTube, then Google would already know everything about you. You can’t hide your activity from them, but they can help you hide it from others.
Similar situations exist for other privacy disrespecting companies like Microsoft and Apple, where a user might reasonably want to hide from everyone other than their vendor of choice, whose product they consider good enough to allow them to see their computer activity as part of their payment. If you already subscribe to one privacy disrespecting vendor, it makes the most sense to go all-in.
If a device makes an encrypted connection to a server the device makers own, there’s nothing further you can gleam from studying the DNS lookups. They can route traffic through the first server, and they can resolve any IPs through the first server. And since you insist the person you’re replying to doesn’t know what DNS is because they said it’s encrypted, I feel you might also not know that DNS can be encrypted. In that case, the network owner can see that a device makes a connection to the nameserver, but they can’t see which addresses the nameserver was asked to resolve. And similarly, the device can refuse a connection to the wrong nameserver.
Medal of Honour VR is 180GB, or about 24 minutes if your download speed never falls below the advertised speed. And that’s even a ‘nice’ example, some of the super large games like Call of Duty and MS Flight Sim update between every time you find time to play and make you download hundreds of gigabytes.
And to say nothing of node_modules.
I agree with OP that block should be labelled mute, and agree with others in this thread that terminology should be consistent across ActivityPub applications and that the current Lemmy behaviour is the best behaviour for a block/mute button given Lemmy’s public nature.
Could Lemmy (if user consensus agrees with it) raise the topic to the ActivityPub developers?
I’m pretty sure the Tiananmen square massacre was a bigger crime.

Look up China Ghost towns. Some insightful shit.
No it isn’t. This is the insightful western coverage.

But as it turns out, predictably, if you check now the city has reached it and it’s a completely unremarkable piece of infrastructure.
Next they’ll write articles about the next stop in the line. Maybe western media can’t wrap their heads around purpose oriented modes of production.
The USA has invaded Cuba and the DPRK. Literally the only thing they want from the USA is to be left alone and allowed to be friends with whoever they want without the USA threatening to kill anyone who talks to them. They’d both be radiated wastelands if the USA could make that happen unscathed.
Prolewiki is the Lemmy aligned wiki, run and maintained by Lemmy/grad users and staff. Greenland is not considered global north because they are a colony of Denmark. Geopolitically their interests don’t align, and for the sake of economic classification, Greenland is exploited and Denmark is doing the exploitation. The map uploader didn’t decide who is or isn’t in the global north, they’re repeating the classification used by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development https://unctadstat.unctad.org/EN/Classifications.html.
The USA is not a democracy. Not a weak or flawed democracy, as those require some democratic input. There is no democratic consideration done by the ruling elite when dictating their rule. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B The extent of the democratic process in the USA is voting blue or red. It’s a meaningless and infrequent vote.
Wait wait wait, TikTok follows local laws?! 😱
Is it illegal for Swedish companies to store user data? Is it illegal for them to sell user data? Do they have very strict rules about showing users every time and how data they generate is saved?
You need to understand that the vast majority of people see “liberals” and “leftists” as the same thing.
Maybe 2% of people think that, it just seems like a common position because every one of them is on Reddit.
Based on just your link, it just kinda looks like he was posting unsourced gore. That doesn’t feel like civil discourse to me.
I don’t really see any criticism being removed. If Katana314’s message was congruent with reality it would count, but otherwise just making accusations isn’t criticism.
