Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

The tooltip for fedipact says: "Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)"

To me that says, they've agreed but it's not confirmed that they've gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says "All communications are blocked"

Your spoiler tag works fine on the web client. That is the supported way to do spoilers on Lemmy. However, Sync, if you use that doesn't support Lemmy spoilers and only supports reddit spoilers. Unfortunately no matter what spoiler method you use, it will not work for someone, somewhere. There is no unified spoiler markup across the fediverse, but there really should be.

I saw this getting traction on Tik Tok a few days ago warning rightsholders they have until, I think, Mar 5th to pull their content from the platform.

I don't know what that is, but it feels to me like it might be a fork bomb.

Edit: Yep, fork bomb.

But what, practically, is the difference? If more and more websites use shit that only works in Chrome or Chromium based browsers, the effect is the same. The web doesn't work as well for Firefox users.

They won't answer, because they can't answer.

For me, I've noticed a few websites that complain that firefox "is an out of date browser, you should use something more modern". My bank's website does that, but still works fine as far as I've been able to tell.

It's shitty for sure, and I definitely think Chrome needs to die, or at least have better competition. Sadly, not enough users are using non-chromium browsers, that they don't see a problem with using chrome only features. It sucks, and it's going to lead (is leading) to the further enshitification of the web. I'm doing my part by using Firefox, and any web application I develop is guaranteed to work in Firefox.

Yeah the surprise in this thread is surprising to me. I've considered Opera to be untrustworthy for years now.

Bloody Mary.

Scientists Use WiFi to See Through People's Walls (www.popularmechanics.com)

“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”

Sadly lots of features are not working on kbin, or less specifically various services in the fediverse. One example is spoilers. Last I checked there is no consistent spoiler syntax that works across the fediverse, and so spoilers are dangerous territory. Hell, even some apps don't handle spoilers appropriately just for Lemmy.
