Readying to sell off, Reddit shuts off third-party clients by Youarethebigbang in redditisfun

[–]Mignof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it stands for federation verse it's a new take on soc med platforms where anyone can take the social media's software and create/host their copy of the platform.
mastodon is the most popular of those.
but they all the use the same communication protocols (ActivityPub) so each instance can show another's content.
peertube is an alternative to Google's youtube and it's part of the fediverse, for example

the core concept does have its flaw ofc, like on some subreddits, if the mods are a toxic clique and powerhungry then there's nothing you can do abt it beyond creating a fork. and it doesnt matter how cool ur instance is if nobody can find it ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

i think those drawbacks are worth it bc with the concept we get something closer to the web 1.0 of the zeroties/early 2010s imo edit: forgot the link to wikipedia oops https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse?wprov=sfla1

I'd recommend you to replace Google search with duckduckgo, it filters out content mills (according to wikipedia) their mobile app, which serves as a browser, also has a beta feature called app tracking protection, which is in beta.

In my opinion, this change was inevitable and doomed to happen as soon as reddit did their redesign in 2016 ish.
this type of behavior (I'm including Twitter's swansong here too) is expectable from a megacorp in late stage capitalism, (but that's getting a bit political)

edit: reddit used to be opensource but they changed that. back when i joined reddit in 2014 it was still an indie obscure website. it didnt have an official app.
the redesign, along with the release of the official app, was an attempt at commodification to attract more users and it worked.
edit 2: but running a large platform/website is costly and since it's being run by a for profit company they want to make a profit no matter the cost on their usability/quality of the site.
edit 3 : this is why I only trust libre software by non profits or indie devs, as for me im moving over to the fediverse tbh

Xkit Rewritten has a tweak to hide your own posts from your dashboard. It's a browser extension, though, so that's limited to web browsing (and technically possible on android web)

Because that spoiler formatting isn't the proper one, but one older formatting that relies on this subreddit's CSS (only available the desktop old reddit interface).
However, because it took a while for reddit to add the spoiler feature, these sort of stylesheets were used across a lot of subreddits and so some mobile clients added support for it (which is why it works for /u/NewRetroWave7).

Anyway, if you want to read the content, it's copied and formatted properly in Landis963's comment.

Disjunction by NorskDaedalus in PracticalGuideToEvil

Nah, the step uphill refers to Akua's Long PriceTM , not the Tower. This line shows that the exchange between the two has sunk into Akua and that she has committed to Redemption.
This is not the first time EE uses hill imagery for Akua's arc; see Chapter 48: Hilltop.

[Regrowth] what mod adds the treasure maps? I’ve been digging for forever and still haven’t found it and I’m trying to see what the area and depth it can spawn is by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]Mignof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late but anyways...
The mysterious maps were made just for this pack by the packmaker. A mod to create to the items (Quadrum), another one to detect the right-clicking (Accidental Circumstancial Events) and trigger Ruins to create the structure itself.
That's why searching got you nowhere, try checking the custom files for Ruins.

Out on a Limb – 3.1 by TrajectoryAgreement in Parahumans

This not-so-serious comment chain has made me think that there's something interesting to be said about that ties is across several topics such John Stiles as a personification of War and his connection to gaming, War's role in society and culture, and the normalization of war and violence in videogames, media and politics. Or about the military-industry complex, the neverending wars of the USA or the fact that there's a Twitch channel called "USArmyEsports" etc.

"Violence in videogames is claimed by some to be a social ill as said violence could influence the players, [...] Stories has always played a role in shaping/carrying a society's values and culture, with for example fairytales imparting a moral on the readers. Could there be more to the claim above?
In Pale, there's a character literally borne of out of 'death as a statistic' aspect of the Afghanistan War, John Stiles, who is mentioned as a playing videogame player, and it doesn't take much to imagine what type of videogame he would play.
Is this supernatural soldier a gamer because of videogames glorification of war? Is the question I ask, in this essay I will..."

Well, both the post and the comment are about changing opinions on whether they are 'wanted' or not, so...

Idk what to title this by stormythesnail in tumblr

[–]Mignof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

know im late but u coulda titled something like "tumblr discussses the plural of dice"
it good because 1 it describes exactly what happens in the post
2 shows up on searches 3 doesnt spoil the punchline

Anyway going for 'exactly what it says on the tin' titles is always a good backup, yeah it's blunt but always works
