How do you organize your bookmarks?
  • I just tag them when I make them.

  • what lemmy web app do you use and why?
  • Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

  • Got permanent ban in r/LGBT and when i asked why I got a 3 day ban for promoting hate.
  • ROFLMAO - looks like they had a hissy fit.

    The main issues (as my best lesbian friend once chimed in with me) are the people who are rather too quick to find offence, in an aggressive way, rather than offer a correction or an explanation, or simply engage in some discussion to confirm their initial suspicions.

  • Firefox pwa still doesn't work for me
  • 2 extra/webapp-manager 1.3.4-2 (91.6 KiB 5.3 MiB) (Installed) Run websites as if they were apps

    This works fine for me... I had 4 browsers installed last year, so had a variety - like Plex/Overseer/Sonarr opening with Falkon browser and translate with Chrome.

  • Discover - possible to limit download speed?
  • On a limited connection, I'd advise not updating whilst watching a video. It's also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

    Beyond that it's not easy to answer - as I don't use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn't something I'd contemplate.

  • Why is there a surge of deodorant products mostly advertised to women in the US?
  • Haha marketing is what it is... a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone...

    So yes, you're right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.

  • Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
  • You're joking, right?

    My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.

    I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine's set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it'll hibernate.

  • Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
  • Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.

    These 'Start Menu Ads' aren't rolling out to everyone, I have zero 'Start Menu Ads'. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.

    Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn't this the main bug with all operating systems?

  • Why does double clicking a video make it fullscreen?
  • This is a pretty dumb question - I would always expect a double-click to fullscreen, and a single click to pause/play on any video in any video player.

    The decision was probably made many years ago for the very simple reason that clicking specific targets is much more difficult, so enabling people to use scroll wheel and mouse buttons to do things is a very efficient method of control.

  • YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?
  • There seem to be many 'sources'. Youtube have a policy where you can show explosions, you can show guns shooting as long as you can't see the targets - it's clearly written. Yet several people are demonetised for showing clips related to Ukraine for a start - and YouTube doesn't respond to requests to explain, it's a secretive policy that doesn't follow the written policy.

    It's also very easy to find other videos which would more clearly break the actual rules as they are written. Basically, they do have an agenda - it applies to many similar channels - and they keep very quiet about real reasons for doing so, instead quoting some bullshit rule which isn't true, and doesn't apply, both at the same time.

  • YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?
  • I think YouTube is dying.

    Already, I see many of my favourite channels being restricted (one Ukrainian blogger) whilst the completely moronic, yet dangerous conspiracy theory/Flat-Earthers flourish.

    Meanwhile, the most common thing we see is the push to sign up and pay them - yet with all the censorship (not simply censored for non-paying customers to allow the advertisements) it is not a viable option.

    Thankfully I still use a Desktop - with Firefox and decent extras the actual ads are still not affecting me at all, but YouTube's policies really are.

    They are completely above the law - they don't need to respect their own TOS (the reasons many people are blocked is more related to some secret narrative, and it goes against their own stated terms).

    There is no way to appeal outside YouTube, and good luck with any idea of taking them to court for removing your income stream, or censoring a very useful source of information whilst spamming you with algorithms that treat you like Spongebob, and expect you to watch completely moronic content.

    I suggest YouTube is a conspiracy to destroy the world, starting with the world population's ability to think.

    Convince me I'm wrong ;)

  • THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox.
  • Stupid people don't read anything when they install, then they complain they didn't ask for this...

  • THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox.
  • It's very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.

    • × Allow Firefox to automatically install updates (recommended)
    • ✔ Check for updates but let you choose to install them.
    • × Use a background service to install updates.
  • This truly is the year of the linux desktop
  • Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they're a bunch of wankers.

  • what are great webapps that you can use with firefox?
  • I was under the impression that ALL websites are basically a kind of webapp. Some (like Lazada) are what you'd call 'Progressive Web Applications'.

    I use Webapp-Manager on Linux, which will set up a shortcut to launch any website/url as a Webapp... at the time of creation, you can choose Firefox or some other browser as the backend (works well for sites that dont work in Firefox).

    So for me, the BBC Radio website is a webapp, Overseerr and Sonarr are webapps too.

  • Is there a way to bookmark not all tabs, but all selected tabs with a hotkey?
  • Doesn't Ctrl+D do that?

    I'd go with 'session manager' rather than bookmarking... Sounds like you just have too many tabs to manage easily.

  • THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox.
  • Yup, they should label it 'Automatic Updates - for Idiots Only' with a checkbox...

  • THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox.
  • Yet another reason never to use Snaps. Why would you allow Ubuntu to force you to use the bloated Snap package?

  • THE ONE THING that I hate about Firefox.
  • If that happens, you should recover from a snapshot... I never experienced this unless the profile folder was damaged or lost.

  • Clever crows...

    A study had to be commissioned, after finding out that crows are social animals, near a busy highway.

    Crows can recognise individual people, they post guard crows on buildings, light poles as they go down to find food.

    Anyway, it seems they were ONLY getting killed by trucks on a busy highway, so cameras got installed and recordings were studied.

    It turns out that the Guard crows can easily spot a hazard and screetch loudly "Cah!!! Cah!!!. But it seems they were completely unable to shout "Truck Truck".

    I tested Negative today!!!!!

    I felt great, until they told me it was my IQ test.

    I told my friend I do a super Batman impression...
    • Me: “NO!! NOT THE KRYPTONITE!”
    • Friend: "Oh, but that's superman"
    • Me: " Thanks man!" so happy. I'd been practicing all day!
