Yeah they’ve put them in a couple places, It’s pretty bad. Had to work out how to create a custom uBlock Origin rule to block them.

Great TIL, I hate it.
Excellent how the page alludes to other horrible things to imagine, like “don’t pour hot oil into your ear”, and “don’t pour it in if there’s a hole in your eardrum”
I’d be happy if we’d just accepted “referer” as the correct spelling for everything, but instead we have the “Referrer-Policy” header, so now I need to check the correct spelling for anything involving referring…
I do sort of like the idea that because we want to keep backwards compatibility on software we just change the language instead since that’s easier.
Of the 1,723 adults surveyed across the UK, 73% said technology companies should, by law, have to scan private messaging for child sexual abuse and disrupt it in end-to-end encrypted environments.
Found this interesting. I found the survey results here: https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/68pn2b6b57/NSPCC_OnlineSafetyBill_230427_W.pdf
The exact question I believe is being referred to was:
And do you think technology companies should or should not be required by law to use accredited technology to identify child sexual abuse in end-to-end encrypted messaging apps?
This seems like a really bad question, since it implies a coexistence of end to end encryption and big tech companies being able to read people’s messages, which doesn’t really make sense (or at least requires more clarification on what that would mean). The question as it is is basically “do you think child sexual abuse is bad”.
Is “scrapping” autocorrect, a typo, or intended? Not meaning to be rude just interested because I’ve only heard of “web scraping” but often see people write “scrapping”.
Now you switched when you shouldn’t have idiiot
Haha, got a “network error” on my first attempt so clicked send again, I guess it did go through the first time after all :D
Speak for yourself
My understanding (from limited knowledge) is that also due to how federation works even if you’re instance isn’t under too much load, you may notice issues with posts/comments from other instances if they’re struggling.
One thing that I wish hadn’t carried over from Reddit 😩

On that note, I think a post view limit would be good too. Maybe 10 posts a day for accounts who haven’t donated and 100 for those who have?
I’m worried this will make it harder for people to transition to mastodon as it’s more of a shock. It would help if someone made a mastodon frontend to mimic twitter (shitty UI, paywalled, occasionally insert low quality AI generated posts, ads, read limits) for a smoother transition /s
Yeah, there currently seem to be a bunch of rough edges with Lemmy. Another is that iirc editing a comment increases the comment count shown on a post.
Nothing that can’t be fixed though, and it’s encouraging how good Lemmy feels already compared to reddit (for me at least).
My experience using docker on windows has been pretty awful, it would randomly become completely unresponsive, sometimes taking 100% CPU in the process. Couldn’t stop it without restarting my computer. Tried reinstalling and various things, still no help. Only found a GitHub issue with hundreds of comments but no working workarounds/solutions.
When it does work it still manages to feel… fragile, although maybe that’s just because of my experience with it breaking.
It probably really depends on the project, though I’d probably try and start with the tests that are easiest/nicest to write and those which will be most useful. Look for complex logic that is also quite self-contained.
That will probably help to convince others of the value of tests if they aren’t onboard already.
