I’m pretty sure the LW admins explained why they didn’t upgrade to 0.19.5 and that they were waiting for 0.19.6.

Are you implying that world won’t update? You’d be wrong.

The upcoming v20.0 lemmy release should fix remote moderators not receiving almost all of the reports.

Then I’ll be able to moderate [email protected] actively from my programmings.dev account and finally abandon this account for the time being.

Using ASCII in URLs is simple and is less error prone than “supporting” unicode via percent encoding. It is also just a convention to use ASCII for usernames in many platforms. ASCII is also supported out of the box in major OSes while some unicode characters might not. What about impersonation? And what about people trying to type in the username of someone that uses unicode? It is not logical to use unicode in this case.

Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

You won’t get non latin usernames anytime soon. But you can change the display name using non latin charactets

I never block anyone or any instance. I simply ignore them. I also use the subscribed feed, so what most of the people say about hexbear, lemmygrad, etc. content filling their feed also does not affect me.

That’s what uBlock Origin planned to do if YouTube ever decided to etch ads into the video stream itself.

I was just given a computer with unrestricted internet access and learnt it that way. Of course, the internet being unrestricted made me visit some questionable and illegal websites. Including CP and some hardcore NSFL using the tor browser. But I don’t regret it (other than the last points).

Looks like a fun community, I’ll join.

I don’t know. I primarily use Mull on android because it is a hardened version of Firefox. No issues with it so far.

Long brainstorming sessions on how to implement my next Lemmy bot.

Arch Linux

Gaming has not been a problem for me yet.

Proton works pretty good and games in Steam are starting to release builds for Linux as well because Steam Deck got popular (thanks Valve?) Minecraft Java also runs natively on Linux.

Firefox’s sandboxing sucks ass (especially on Linux). Mozilla has still not implemented a better sandbox, despite the open discussion since years. GrapheneOS (a security and privacy focused aosp rom) uses Chromium for its browser Vanadium because it ultimately is undoubtedly more secure. Google pumps millions into their chrome security team.

So while not that good for privacy, chrome/chromium is better for security.

If that were to happen, the receiving end wouldn’t know who sent which vote, thus making spamming extremely easy.

what the fuck

Mull is not made by Mullvad. Mull is made by the dev of DivestOS.

Mull is a hardened fork of Firefox. I use it but some rare websites’ functionality does not work with it. Mull is not more secure than Chromium though, even if it is hardened. Chromium is undoubtedly more secure but not privacy-friendly. I also don’t want to support the chromium monopoly, so I don’t use them. Brave as a browser also sucks. Shields suck. Nothing to this day has been better than uBlock Origin yet.

I guess you could buy merch if you want to support them?
