I hope this is real. If you look into it and find it isn't real, don't tell me.

Yeah I don't get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.

I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.

It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.

Hold on, the kid from Home Alone works for Facebook now?

ReVanced is by far one of the best solutions.

I'm not a raccoon!

Nope, that's not what uBlock is saying. YouTube rolls out new adblock detection several times a day. uBlock can't stop it instantly, it takes time for the devs to adjust their code. So for a few hours, YouTube's detection works. If you haven't been caught yet, then it means you've been lucky to get the rollout after uBlock already had a fix. Some of us aren't that lucky. Last week, I got an early rollout several hours before uBlock had a patch. Turned off all my extensions, used default uBlock settings, all their suggestions, had no effect. A few hours later, uBlock had a fix and I didn't see YouTube's block anymore.

This sounds like something out of the Fazbear Frights books.

This is a joke, right? This feels like a very dumb solution. I don't know much about UTF-8 encoding, but it sounds like Roman characters can be encoded shorter than most or all others because of a shorthand that assumes Roman characters. In that case, why not take that functionality and let a UTF-8 block specify which language makes up most of the text so that you can have that savings almost every time? I don't see why one would want it to be random.

Lower Decks is like if Rick and Morty didn't make me sick.

The ending bits that imply a darker vision of this future suggests a very different direction for the show. Still, there are Star Trek episodes that do consider the holodeck from this angle. Maybe we need a mirror universe holodeck episode.

A couple years ago, Apple announced a program to let people buy replacement parts for their devices just as Congress was talking about right to repair. The program ended up having tons of limitations: very small part selection, and prices identical to Apple's own repair prices, etc. It was clear that this was an attempt to make it seem like they allowed end-user repair, while doing as much as possible to prevent it. Apple still uses software pairing so that you can't use working components from donor devices. You can't swap the camera module between two identical iPhones without getting errors, and this can only be fixed by getting Apple's help. They are going out of their way to stop independent repair, and have been for some time.

So what's the catch this time? I suspect it's probably more software restrictions. Currently, nobody can sell aftermarket parts for most phones, so any replacement parts need to come from Apple (and with Apple's restrictions). I'd want to see legislation to ban software locks and enable third parties to make replacement parts for phones.
