I thought Misskey and its forks already supported quote posts?

That’s a good point; modern pages would choke our old 2G/3G plans!

I don’t know why Facebook puts so much junk in the links, but there’s a setting for Safari to remove that automatically.

It might be related to the setting to remove tracking information from shared links? I’ve appreciated not having to manually take that crap off.

I didn’t know that was something that’s been available in Chrome. Also not entirely sure what I would use it for since I’ve mostly seen it with rips of Blu-ray movies and shows, never smaller files. I thought its main advantage was holding multiple video, audio, and data streams.

It’s a subtle thing, but I really appreciate that when sharing a link from Safari on iOS it puts the address on the clipboard without the “m.” automatically, so I don’t have to edit it out.

I think they used separate style sheets. Going way back in time, to the early days of smartphones and back when non-smartphones had mobile web browsers, most websites would serve either a separate style sheet that gave a simplified layout for tiny screens or even an entirely different, simplified page. Early adopters to mobile browsing tended to hang on to that separation much longer than newer sites that took advantage of CSS that could adapt to the screen size.

Are you in a jurisdiction subject to HIPPA? That would seem like a pretty easy violation to report. Otherwise see what your jurisdiction’s medical privacy laws are and who you can report that to.

As much of a hassle as Epic My Chart and other portals can be, I do appreciate how they make medical things more secure and an annoyed when I see small places with nothing that try to tell us to just use email.

I think I’ve bought from 7digital a time or two in the past and had no problems. Obviously there are issues with Amazon as a company, but I think they were the first big name to offer DRM-free MP3 purchases and I used it a lot back when it first launched, especially since they offered a selection of albums each month for just $5. They should have most mainstream music available for purchase, depending on which country you’re in. According to this Wikipedia page listing music stores they only offer 256 kbps MP3 but I was sure most if not all were upgraded to 320 kbps now, although of course you would have to re-download anything if you had downloaded the lower-quality version previously. That Wikipedia page is a good link to other stores as well, with a number I’d never heard of including specialty stores.

Also, along with someone else’s comment mentioning ripping CDs like the old days, check to see if you have a local record store. It’s been a mantra since at least the Gen-X days to “support your local scene.” I know in Raleigh the longtime staple Schoolkids Records is still alive and kicking, although their Chapel Hill store closed last year. It might take some digging but it can be worth seeing if there’s a local store in your area.

Self-hosting there are some ways to fight back, or depending on your opinions on Cloudflare it seems they’re fairly effective at blocking the AI crawlers.

There’s actually a surprising amount of free static website hosting out there. Besides GitHub, GitLab, Cloudflare, and Netlify come to mind offhand.

They used to sell those on the xkcd store and I was going to link to them but it seems the store is closed now.

$40 sounds like a lot for what you get

Meta World Conflict?

Just stick a Mac mini in the case and call it a day!

I was about to hit send on this, then looked it up and realized you could actually stick one in the 5.25” bays, although it would take two of the standard “half height” bays—or at least some extra height in the case—because it would be too tall by less than half an inch. I would not be surprised if someone has already done this.

I think it’s NHK, or one of the Japanese broadcasters anyways, that has actually been pressing for 8K since the 1990s. They didn’t have content back then and I doubt they have much today, but that’s what they wanted HD to be.

You’re comparing very different sizes geographically. This chart seems to indicate that around 2015 there were about 1.6 billion miles or 2.5 billion kilometers of telephone wire deployed across the US. Running fiber or coax across the same distances is costly. Electricity and telephone service reached just about every house in the 1930s because the government paid for it as part of Depression-era spending, then declared that these items were necessary utilities that must be provided to new homes and businesses constructed later. A lot of the telecom companies were hoping to get the government to do that again. There have been some bills providing government money for these, but the telecom companies have been trying to take the money but do the bare minimum or only roll out wireless service, and the government has been slow providing funding. Meanwhile SpaceX has been trying to say they should get the money instead because they can get everyone online faster and their low orbit constellation doesn’t have the latency issues of the satellite internet traditionally available to rural customers. I think they cancelled the money that had been awarded and gave it to SpaceX back when Musk was running the government this spring. And of course, none of the companies want the Internet classified as a utility because then they have to provide equal access to everything instead of trying to slow access to Netflix unless Netflix pays them.

I’ll still probably wait to 26.1. I wait even longer to upgrade macOS. I’m not necessarily a good example, though. Back in the paid days I’d often skip an entire year.

I remember in the ’90s/’00s there were a few Mazda and Ford vehicles that were basically the same, most obviously to me the Ford Ranger and Mazda B-series pickup truck.

I’ve known about Linux since the late ’90s; I haven’t been around any significant concentration of people talking about it and how to use it until I joined Lemmy.
