think you meant to say mpeg. look at your actual comment.

I’m sure responsibility is variable but kinda sounds like could be a political issue rather than skill at least sometimes. They might be requesting data from elsewhere that comes to them all jumbled. And no authority to demand changes from the source.

Sometimes the chaotic sorting is very intentional, as with amazon. Cory Doctorow has written about how the sorting is one piece of their overall scheme: Amazon is a ripoff (06 Nov 2023)

Though once in a while I get prices sorted like $1 $10 $2 $200… If the coder was motivated they could’ve done better.

I disagree with your premise that web developers “want to make it hard”, as that isn’t the motivation.

Yes that is fair enough it is unlikely to be a correct characterization. I was just annoyed and feeling persecuted by people who make a great platform that I love using.

I disagree that this software could be functional without some way to show the date. That is a basic functionality.

Having to hover over each individual comment or post rather than displaying on the page means it’s obscured. You can’t see it unless you do something, and then you can only see it for a moment. Even if you want to manually transcribe the date, you can’t type in one window and have that tooltip active in the other so you need to go back and forth unless you can memorize the whole thing at once.

Whether it is a good design decision as is another matter, I can see why you wouldn’t want the full date/time displayed in all situations. Maybe I’m just a freak for wanting to copy the dates.

What a sloppy way to write this article. Header text to indicate CSAM then just naming people liberating netflix. Does german netflix stream CSAM? Or is this news outlet just kind of implying these people are sex criminals for fun?

On a different note, would love to hear from/about the 15 out of 18 people who were searched in Feb and apparently got away. Either being targeted for harassment by authorities, huge false positive fuckups, or have amazing opsec.

I use reddit via the Firefox extension LibRedirect which sends you to a mirror instead. Between VPN, ublock and attempting to access dodgy mirrors, sometimes I have to reload a few times but it eventually works.

Digital ID laws in the UK and EU will make this increasingly infeasible

Sorry I might have missed something… Is this Tony Blair’s little hobby horse for the past 30 years or is a more substantial plan in the works?

TBH I am getting discouraged on the VPN thing. I have been using it 100% of the time for years. I used to get ads corresponding to the exit location. But now I occasionally get ads corresponding to my actual location (down to the neighborhood).

But of course I do all sorts of online business where my address is provided, and when I do that I can easily be fingerprinted I assume. So somehow, it’s gotten linked up in the back end.

I used lazy librarian years ago; actually it was one of the first local services I ran. Tried it more recently and had install issues; I think possibly due to my squeamishness around docker. The main dev seems helpful and consistently active.

I’m not sure if I properly get the concept but it seems that rreading-glasses is something you use in addition to readarr not an independent application.

If it isn’t open source now you shouldn’t say it’s open source. You should say it’s partially open source with plans to get the rest out soon.
