  • Are there any cookie blocking or automatic rejecting apps for apps?

    Jump

  • Most guaranteed option I can think of is to reverse engineer your apps while hoping you are neither getting banned from them, or getting arrested for a few years if you are in a jurisdiction that criminalizes reverse engineering.

    Jump

  • Several such movements have been going around since around September 2025, with some countries' governments, e.g. Brazil's current one, pushing for such for longer.

  • StackOverflow: We will be retiring the Beta site shortly...

    Jump

  • So site will remain mostly the beautiful jank it always was. Fantastic!

    But some points of the announcement seem dubious. At least I got the impression they're not ditching all the ideas of the beta, but it didn't sound clear to me what they'd keep.

  • Would a lyrics sharing community be an interesting idea?

    Jump

  • I see. In such case then, and entering head-on on the legal side of things, I wonder if there'd be exceptions for when the purpose is information, or even if a community/instance could be licensed for that as apparently, from a quick search, some lyrics sites do license the contents they host. Though probably a question better asked to a lawyer.

  • Should we potentially create a Harry Potter Instance?

    Jump

  • The Harry Potter franchise is pretty expansive, so even if this next series is a major flop, I have my doubts the series will alone be able to burn all the goodwill in the franchise, leaving plenty still to be discussed.

    Also, I like the idea of forums focused on specific niches, but having seen isolated ones multiple times shrink into irrelevance, being federated should help give it a bigger life span. Also wouldn't be the first focused instance I see around. So on this point, I also defend the creation of a Harry Potter instance.

    Just don't know how protective the companies involved with the Harry Potter brand are towards it, so hopefully a site that presents itself as purely a discussion forum among fans won't be stepping in anyone's toes.

    And about the fediverse not liking Harry Potter as someone commented, such perception feels awfully like centralization, in this case on ideas. So another reason to have a focused forum, so people may be more comfortable enjoying and discussing what they want, instead of falling into a silence spiral to not be the perceived majority's enemies. And as you proposed, those that don't like are free to block/defederate.

    And about software, might I suggest an hybrid one, so people on both threadiverse and microblog platforms may be able to interact? Dunno how Piefed fares on that front (I keep forgetting to check) and Lemmy is kinda isolated by their design philosophy.

    But back on creating an instance, now that at the end I reread the other comments, it's a task, requiring resources, interest and time someone may not have. So if asking for one to be created by others is likely be a short-lived idea.

    So good luck on finding anyone then.

    Or maybe also you'd be interested in reading the responses to a question I made in a self-hosting community, if you want to do it yourself but don't know where to start:https://thebrainbin.org/m/selfhosted@lemmy.world/t/1513112/What-to-study-to-be-able-to-host-a-site

  • Can a 200 dollar laptop play games well enough?

    Jump

  • On a quick conversion, 200 USD is half what people ask in my country for a new, marginally decent laptop. If quality of the laptop you're considering getting is on par, I doubt it'll run anything big from after 2006. At most I can see it being used as a machine for emulation, playing simpler indie games, and playing older Windows games.

    Also, with such a laptop, I'd be considering already either some very light Linux system, or Windows XP or Vista.

  • Reddit no longer the front page of the internet

    Jump

  • Old Reddit still works normally for that too, though likely due to lack of updates instead

  • How do I save long messages to view later? It shows the star thing to save but when I go to the 3 dot thing does not show saved after i marked them as read. or leave them unread?

    Jump

  • Indeed there doesn't seem to be a way to see hidden saved posts, at least checking on Ani.Social. The solution I found is to export your settings, and look in the generated JSON file for saved_posts. Oldest posts appear first.

  • Maybe they want to be sure people are not up to shady stuff? People let a lot out a lot of clues of intention when face to face.
