@Moon@Vo this post gave me PTSD flashbacks to finding out that the Python library for IPFS supports exactly no (0) hole-punching methods, despite decentralized tunneled networking being one of the major selling points of IPFS
@Moon@Relected This is the reason you can't install extensions on the Apple App Store "edition" of Firefox
even Firefox for Android added extensions a while back (*they cucked anyone using the stable release of the app with an extension whitelist that can't be overridden through any setting, but at least uBlock Origin is on that whitelist, so everything's kinda livable)
Idea for an e-mail provider to destroy the view images = read receipt cancer
First, the e-mail provider [algorithmically] designates 80%+ of unallocated addresses as honeypots. These honeypots will “accept” any mail sent to them, then at some point over the next [poisson process?] load all the remote images as if they’d been opened.
Once this has been running for about a year, you give existing users the option to **opt in** to pre-loading images on e-mails sent to them, advertised as having trifold benefits of (a) Confounding these neo-read-receipt abusers, (b) loading images faster when you actually read them, and (c) allowing you to keep the entirety of very old newsletters, for archival purposes. Of course, this feature itself is only rolled out to individual users in a very slow drip, and will always remain opt-in.
“Truth or fiction” pastes WITHOUT ATTRIBUTION this nugget of truth, then they give a (dead) link to the website of an "artist" (*I'm still unclear whether the guy actually made the display or just took a photograph of it) https://www.truthorfiction.com/japan-santa-crucified-christmas-meme/
@GabeLakmann@caekislove@NJP yeah, pretty much what @NEETzsche said— if my choices are • open communists (D) • crypto-communists (R) • ineffective socks (I-LP) • grifting, ineffective wet socks (I-NJP)
