The clients are called “RSS readers”. Most blog sites have RSS feeds you can add to it. And there are services that can easily generate RSS feeds for websites that don’t already have them.
Press any key to continue… No, not that one!

A website can access another site’s cookies if the first party domain explicitly allows them, which would need to happen in this case. Sure, admins would have to allow which sites can access the cookie. But at least that burden is placed on admins vs the users.
Browser extensions arent secure and many mobile browsers dont support them, so that wouldnt be a proper solution. A lot of users use Lemmy on their mobile phones.
Sites can still have third-party cookies. The first party domain just needs to explicitly allow them.
Was about to ask if there was a way to do this automatically. Does anyone know why this isn’t baked into the Lemmy codebase? I’m thinking this would be pretty easy with browser cookies. 🤔
Interesting take I can appreciate, but hold on there…
This community here seems to have largely sided with ScarJo. Which means that they want famous people to receive a rent for lending out their voices
I dont think that’s what they mean at all. I doubt people care about ScarJo growing her bank account. I think most people who side with ScarJo just dont want Open AI stealing stuff it doesnt own, including people’s voices. Especially if they’re profiting off it.
Genuine question: how do we actually “kill the big fish” though? Majority are going to continue to use big tech out of convenience and because they dont care much.
If you use RSS feeds, there is. There are services that provide RSS feeds for Lemmy posts. You can subscribe to those and get an update whenever any comment is made on the post.
As an engineer who’s worked on very large codebases over two decades, I’ve realized that this is so much easier said then done.
If people want to fork Mastodon, great. But they’ll quickly realize that what they may think are straight-forward “improvements” will lead to them having to address bigger architectural issues.
Many design decisions that were made when building Mastodon may not be perfect, but they address a lot of very complex decentralization and federation issues.
There’s no such thing as perfect software. What some may think is an improvement, others will think is a terrible choice. Each decision is a trade-off and will have downsides. We just have to decide which of them we’re comfortable with living with.
Not condoning it, but all I can think is how terrible Facebook is for “coordinating” stuff like this. I mean, if FB or the feds wanted to find out who these people are, track them down or something, they can do that pretty easily. People who do stuff like this aren’t too bright, though. So not surprised, I guess.
Google says pause ads on YouTube are getting a very positive reaction from advertisers
Bc screw the users and their reactions 😄.
We really need a good YouTube competitor. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.
I get the sense that most people on this platform get it. It’s the people that would never even be on Lemmy to see this advice that I worry about. Those are the ones that need to keep seeing these posts and comments like yours.
RSS has no adoption anymore
Not true. RSS feeds are the only thing I use these days and know quite a few others that do as well. Sure some sites may not have RSS feeds by default, but there are a ton of services that auto generate RSS feeds for you.
Ah yes! Thank you. Will try this today
Speaking of, does anyone know how best to block YouTube ads on my Sony TV? It uses Android and I have the YT app on it.
Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main
Maybe Vimeo?
Signal app is great. Would that be a better alternative? Or is that too niche for Discord users?
Have you tried the Signal app? Has all that and works pretty well!
Exactly what I was wondering the entire time I was listening. None of these questions were asked during the episode. A lot of handwaving and buzzword double-speak. She didn’t go into any real technical detail.
Not many things require a polyfill these days. My guess is a lot of older sites are affected.
