On Android the Firefox app allows the use of extensions including all the adblock options you would find on PC. Works great and for YouTube as well.

omg this got me off hard*

FTFY

This is a great summary of the fall of Elon Musk. I admired him too years ago until he went off the rails. RIP to the better decisions and the their benefits that this man could have made.

I hope there’s an option to see the upvotes as well as downvotes rather than just the total. That’s one thing I’ve liked about Jerboa so far that other apps aren’t doing.

In case you’re wondering why all the down votes, it’s because of this concept:

Edit: Heres a summary I had in another post.

Summary:

• The Fediverse is a decentralized network of servers communicating through the ActivityPub protocol.

• Large corporations like Google and Microsoft have a history of either trying to control or make decentralized networks irrelevant.

• Google joined the XMPP federation initially but implemented their own closed version, causing compatibility issues and slowing down the development of XMPP.

• Eventually, Google stopped federating with other XMPP servers, leading to a decline in XMPP’s popularity and growth.

• Microsoft used similar tactics to hinder competing projects, such as the Samba network file system and open source office suites like OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

• The strategy involves extending protocols or developing new ones to deny entry to open source projects.

• Proprietary formats and complicated specifications are used to maintain dominance in markets.

• Meta’s potential entry into the Fediverse raises concerns as it could lead to fragmentation and a loss of freedom.

• The Fediverse should focus on its values of freedom, ethics, and non-commercialism to avoid being co-opted by large corporations.

How a new federated decentralized platform can avoid this fate:

1. Stay true to the principles: The platform should prioritize and uphold the values of freedom, openness, and decentralization.

2. Develop open and robust protocols: Use open standards and ensure the protocol’s specifications are transparent, well-documented, and not controlled by a single entity.

3. Foster a strong community: Encourage collaboration, participation, and diversity within the community to avoid reliance on any single company or organization.

4. Emphasize user control: Give users control over their data and privacy, allowing them to choose which servers and communities to join and ensuring their content is not subject to corporate surveillance.

5. Focus on user experience: Create a user-friendly interface and provide features that attract and retain users, making it easy for them to engage and connect with others.

6. Avoid centralization of power: Design the platform in a way that distributes authority and influence across the network, preventing any single entity from gaining too much control.

7. Promote interoperability: Support compatibility with other decentralized platforms and protocols to encourage communication and collaboration across different networks.

8. Educate and raise awareness: Educate users about the benefits of decentralized platforms, the risks of centralized control, and the importance of supporting independent, community-driven initiatives.

By following these principles, a new federated decentralized platform can strive to maintain its integrity, preserve user freedom, and resist the influence of large corporations seeking to control or make it irrelevant.

You’re right, what am I talking about. Updates relationship status: In a Federationship

That’s a bit much, I’m not looking to get into a relationship here. /s

I second that, it’s been very useful for coding/debugging for me too. And the cool part is that it’s only going to get better.

I have been using GPT4 as a Google replacement and it’s been working out fairly well.

Ever since dislikes were removed I use a plugin that shows the ratio of likes to views to determine if a video is worth watching.

Most of the time if the likes to views is >= 2% then it’s an okay vid.

Jerboa needs this added

I love this, thank you!

Awesome, thank you I’m going to try this out!

Brotato is so good!

I recently got Prey for free via Amazon gaming, not sure how to make that work on the deck though 🤔

Here is a GPT4 tldr summary, and thoughts on how to avoid this from happening to us:

I’m loving Jeroba, I would just like options to sort the comments.

Okay let me think… Okay, got it.

I’m imagining the very slim chance that the best case scenario general intelligence AI is born in a 5 to 15 year timeframe which ushers in a new world for humanity - uniting all nations, solving all of our issues and eliminates our need to spend most of our lives forced to work. Also allowing us to choose how long we wish to live for, among other unimaginable benefits to us all.

That’s the best I’ve got.

From what I heard they had two bottles for urine and a bag to deficate in. It would have been freezing and extremely humid inside after even a day as well.

A implosion would be way better than days cramped together suffocating and starving in a inescapable freezing stench filled coffin.

I think this will end up being really useful. For instance you can look at your ‘meme tab’ where you can add any of your meme communities, and see them in one feed.

Sort of like making music playlists, except in this case they’re feeds with whichever communities you want to add to them.

From a programming point this is a UI change that could be implemented now.
