Hasbro being the worst, yet again

BG3's only sin is having to be tied to the worst owner in tabletop gaming. Thank god Larian is independent.

Macabre. Why do you need two silent letters?

Why is he stealing Xorg's logo?

Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser by quortez in c/[email protected]

Just what the web needed, SafetyNet in your browser. Does anyone have the EFF on speed dial?

Hate to spoil the parade but this Twitter user is of a person mocking nftbros, not an actual NFTbro

Is there a way to derank certain magazines on user side? Something between full blocking and full allowing a magazine? (kbin.social)

Some instances and groups are very chatty (*gestures to /lemmyshitposts), so much so that they dominate the All page.

I knew that there would be a point that browsing /all would no longer be a pleasant or feasible experience, but I quite liked having a pulse on what everyone in the #threadiverse (that kbin.social federates to, anyway) are thinking. But right now it seems @memes is dominating everything.

I don't want to fully block them from showing up in my feed, but i don't want to let them full send either. Would it be feasible to add a feature in future releases to be able to adjust the algorhythm on the user-side that would allow for mutes, or deranking it in your feed, instead of outright blocking it?

at least one lemmy.world admin accepted an off the record meeting with meta, and they won't tell you about it. by quortez in c/[email protected]

I feel that it is important for you substantiate your claims or credibility to some extent before making potentially inflammatory moves - if you want the community to question the lemmy.world team, that is.

I wish there was a way to have responsible news sponsorship without having this annoying ass article limit system or web 3.0 crypto nonsense.

(I nearly flinched when writing that last sentence because I still have PTSD from Twitter summoning the Hordes if you so much as mention that c-word.)

Cool software.

Even as someone sympathetic to 'privateers' though...you gotta have more plausible deniability bro, workshop that name lmao

YouTube tests disabling videos for people using ad blockers by quortez in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is that I can't be bothered to install adblockers for mobile YouTube, despite that being 99% of my phone and YouTube usage. Video platforms are expensive AF, and I get it.
But man, that ad experience just keeps degrading. It really wears on me some days, making me seriously consider Premium.

But now that they are going to block adblockers outright? And especially now that they're paywalling the ability to queue videos in a dynamic playlist?? Something built into TV casting and the desktop app for free? Nah, Google can get fucked. It's ReVanced time.

Fingers crossed that this will be implemented well, im tired of having sleek electronics be irrelevant in 2 years when the silicon could go for 5 or six

r/Piracy has entered restricted mode and will open in two days by quortez in c/[email protected]

actively restoring r/piracy
actively forcing a community dedicated to breaking DCMA by proxy back online
actively trying to get an IPO

that's certainly a choice.
