    Dude you’ve been shitting on people all over this thread. What’s your problem?

    guyman ,

    What are you talking about? There is a lot of wrong information and childish sentiments.

    Can you ask the people shitting on me what’s their problem? Some guy said I had a hardon for Zucc, lol. Funny how none of you are criticizing him. Probably because you are biased.

    When companies like META show you how ruinous they are the first dozen times, over and over without end, you believe them, and you defend yourself, or you deserve every bad thing that’s going to happen to you, when they repeat their corporate driven ends at your expense

    guyman ,

    🥱

    You didn’t say anything of substance.

    Ryumast3r ,

    You keep saying this sentence, and the funny thing is you aren’t saying anything of substance.

    guyman ,

    He’s not giving any examples, just vague nothingness that can apply to anything.

    Ryumast3r ,

    Not every post needs to be a dissertation.

    guyman ,

    You’re right, but when spreading FUD it helps to have some concrete examples. Otherwise it just looks like you’re going off of emotion. It’s a dangerous path to go down, but a lot of people have no problem walking it.

    GONADS125 ,

    I think this falls more into the category of being such blatant common knowledge that it doesn’t need to be cited. Just as I wouldn’t feel the need to cite the claim that fast-food is unhealthy.

    Okay, yeah. You’re definitely a troll.

    For real, this troll is honestly trying to argue that Meta being a hostile company isn’t common knowledge.

    MeetInPotatoes ,

    Yeah, all these delusional people who know that Meta has earned its bad reputation. 🙄

    guyman ,

    By doing what?

    MeetInPotatoes ,

    It’s the scorpion and the frog, completely.

    sigh Based Lemmy devs having yet another big W. Wish my instance did the same

    guyman ,

    Why don’t you just move to that instance?

    Marxine ,
    @Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

    I hope they’re accepting new members, last I knew about it they were already very loaded with new users.

    guyman ,

    Oh, that doesn’t sound like a very good instance to me.

    But good luck!

    @Marxine@lemmy.world avatar

    By loaded I meant with servers full, don’t know if it came across correctly. 😅 They’re smaller than lemmy.world though

    Nibbler , to fediverse in Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook

    Sweet action! After hearing about Lemmy.world not doing the same i’ll be switching instances. It’s great that I can make that decision.

    guyman ,

    Yep. Different strokes for different folks.

    That’s the glory of federation.

    NewDark , to programmerhumor in I mean at least they are honest?

    localStorage is a thing, don’t need cookies for browser state

    DmMacniel ,

    Sure it is a thing but JavaScript on that domain can access it either injected or provided by the site. This is quite risky. Cookies can be http only so that client code cant access it.

    Zzombiee2361 ,

    How is storing hideCookieBanner: false on local storage risky?

    DmMacniel ,

    What would the benefit of storing that in local storage?

    bighi ,

    Remembering that the user asked to not see that banner again.

    BorgDrone ,

    Why not just set a cookie?

    bighi ,

    Because we were talking about how to save that information without using cookies. Setting a cookie would break the one thing that the conversation was about, wouldn’t it?

    If we’re in a fun conversation about how to enter your home without using the door, would you be the one saying “I have an idea, I have an idea: use the door”?

    BorgDrone ,

    It was clearly a reference to the so called ‘cookie laws’ requiring permission for tracking cookies. However, cookies that are not for tracking purposes do not require any form of consent.

    BorgDrone ,

    Legally it’s the same thing. The ‘cookie laws’ don’t explicitly forbid cookies, any kind of tracking is prohibited. Also, just storing a cookie with the information that a banner was shown doesn’t require consent. The only thing that requires consent is tracking the user.

    But… Do we really expect Threads users to make their Mastodon-type tweets even show up on Reddit-style Lemmy?

    Kolanaki ,
    @Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

    They’d only show up if someone on the instance started subscribing to them, if I have understood how that all works correctly. And who would do such a silly thing?

    Zaktor ,

    And with Threads Algorithm controlling what you see, it’s not even clear that subscribing would show you them. This is a much more meaningful decision for the Mastodon instances.

    billstickers ,
    @billstickers@aussie.zone avatar

    What are you on about? Thread’s algorithm only affects what you see in the threads app home page. If they federate fully/properly it’ll operate no different than mastodon does now.

    Zaktor ,

    Yes, I’m talking about what Threads users may see. It’s not clear how the Threads Algorithm will evaluate and prioritize showing Mastodon toots, but even less clear how it will prioritize message-board-like Lemmy content. It may not ever show them because it’s very possible it will either filter or devalue non-microblogging post types to fit with its native format. Whether or not they technically Federate is only half the question because they have the Algorithm deciding what you actually see.

    billstickers ,
    @billstickers@aussie.zone avatar

    Okay. The person you replied to was talking about subscribing to a threads user in Lemmy.

    dingus ,

    Yeah I’m not entirely unfertstanding why defederating with them should matter on Lemmy instances. Can we even view those types of posts on here? I know you can on kbin, but I didn’t think that was even a functionality of Lemmy.

    guyman , to fediverse in Second largest Lemmy instance preemptively un-friends Facebook

    Everyone here saying lemmy.world should do the same should just move on to lemmy.ml.

    That’s the glory of federation, baby!

    TheGreatFox ,
    @TheGreatFox@lemmy.world avatar

    lemmy.ml doesn’t have easy signups the way lemmy.world does.

    Though I do have accounts on a few different instances, just in case. And so I don’t get blinded by light mode when links send me to another instance.

    guyman ,

    Oh, that’s unfortunate.

    Maybe there is another instance that is easier to sign up on and federates the way you see fit.

    I think it’s kind of lame that lemmy.ml has barriers to entry, but I guess that’s just another reason why I choose not to be on that server.

    Though I do have accounts on a few different instances, just in case.

    Lol, maybe someday we can have something that aggregates everything from different accounts.

    floofloof ,

    Or any of the many other instances that will not federate with Meta. You can still see the same content from any of them.

    guyman ,

    Yep. I’m hearing lemmy.ml doesn’t have an easy sign-up process, so another instance may be better for some.

    MeetInPotatoes ,

    There were 4 questions and one of them was 6 minus 2. It was easier than convincing recaptcha that I’m not a robot.

    Fuck you, recaptcha, there was definitely a motorcycle in that pic :)

    Damn zucc looks about as alien as ever

    That joke in the second panel though…

    Klear , to programmerhumor in Works every time.

    Pretty cool concept. It’s called the Dunning–Kruger effect.

    bighi ,

    No, the Dunning-Kruger is what makes water easy to compress.

    dukk ,

    Point proven.

    bighi ,

    Was it?

    Reivax , to programmerhumor in Works every time.

    This is an old Stack Overflow approach. Don’t say that you can’t figure out how to do something in Linux, say that Linux can’t do it. You’ll get examples.
