Now? I wasn’t aware they ever didn’t.

I really hope this gets a proper foss “for you” algo. Personalized content and people discovery features are lacking on the fediverse.

Fyi you can still enable heuristic blocking from settings.

Why not just disable the Ubuntu pro ads in the mean time?

I’m only on the fediverse but I miss algorithms. Recommended accounts (which to be fair exists on a corner of Mastodon), similar accounts to one you just followed, custom home feed, suggested posts, etc. Discoverability sucks on fedi and the lack of interest from devs for some sort of private FOSS implementation is disappointing.

Loops was like let’s have a “For You” algo early this year but even that seems to be a dead idea.

Edit: nevermind I typed a lot but that Lemmygrad user made a far better post that I agree with.

There is no metadata harvesting on Signal and the use of a phone number is so convenient and helped massively with adoption from the general unaware public.

I loved that it acted as a private and secure drop in replacement for SMS (particularly before they removed that integration) that does what I needed and does it very well and easily connects me with people that already have my number. This made sharing Signal very easy. The only data Signal has to even provide to the authorities is your registration date, phone number, and time of last connection. The absolute minimum. It’s fantastic. If you compare this to Whatsapp which has everything but the exact content of your messages, it’s not even a contest.

For myself on Signal and everyone else I’ve known that that uses Whatsapp or Insta or whatever, the extra absolute anonymity of also removing phone numbers from the already small equation just isn’t needed or worth it, otherwise you wouldn’t be using Signal, let alone fucking Facebook.

Heh

Capitalism baby. Gotta cannibalize, monopolize, and enshittifize for maximum profits.

So they can hear me type p + enter into my browser?

Don’t know the exact source but that’s Astolfo. Have fun :3

Tab groups are in the works but we haven’t heard anything new about it since March.

I like the way your mind works.

or do as they do in China and run a quick scan using their special software?

Can I get a source for this?

I tried Wayland for the first time last week and my first reaction was “wtf this is so smooth”. But some stuff was too funky so I went back to X11.

On behalf of teen me and adult me, fuck off

I unspoofed Librewolf back to Firefox + Linux. That way I’m not contributing to Chrome and Windows market share and perceived dominance. Plus the more people don’t spoof, the less of a need there will be to actually spoof at all as the Linux market share increases.

Who said anything about asking? The updates continue until the profits improve.
