I'm switching today. Right now. Because of this post.

^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I've done it. I'm currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That's sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

comment from the forum:

New ISPs in my country are IPv6-only because there is no new IPv4 space to be provided to them. They do have a over-shared IPv4 address by CGNAT but due to the oversharing, it is unstable and not rare to be offline. For these companies, the internet access is stable only in IPv6.

Thinking about the server-side, some cloud providers are making extra charges for IPv4 addresses (e.g.: Vultr.com) so most of the servers in my company are IPv6-only. Cloning github repositories is very cumbersome due to the lack of IPv6 support and this issue affects me and my team mates on a daily basis.

The math is simple: there are 4.88 billion internet users in the world but the IPv4 space only provides 4 billion addresses. It's over: IPv4 is obsolete and is provided in a legacy mode. Current applications and services must be IPv6 enabled otherwise it should be seen as obsolete. For that matter, Github.com is an obsolete service because it relies on obsolete technology as IPv4.

I joined the WGA in 1986 and have been through several strikes with them. We made gains in all of them, but some issues are more important than others… and this year’s strike is the most important of my lifetime.

Well, I hope the Fediverse works out. Otherwise I think were gonna have to go back to hand printing zines.

DONE!

I love your comics.

You don't have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That's the beauty of the Fediverse.

You can use new.Reddit.com.

Well, it's useful to have local communities, but I personally find it nice to still be able to join, read, and post from another instance without having to make another account. For instance, I'm subscribed to lemmy.world's "local" community, which is where I found out about old.lemmy.world and mlmym.org. Likewise, if I lived in a geographic locality like Seattle, I might want to join a Seattle community on a Seattle instance, but I'd still prefer to be able to do it using an account from another instance rather than being forced to make an account on the Seattle instance.

We need discourse. News sites are largely owned by rich men and corporations.

I hate Cruella Braverman.

Reminds me somewhat of Hurricane Katrina.

"The streets are on FIRE and they wont spread the news nationally . They wont send help. People call for emergency assistance and no one picks up the phone . #Sicily"

Looks like it's very new. There are only three episodes released so far. It says you can watch the first one for free here, although you need an Apple ID or something.

Pyle co-executive produced the series with Dan Harmon of "Community" and "Rick and Morty."

One of the stars is Danny Pudi, who played Abed in Community.

Interesting stance. I hope they are right. Maybe it is a win for open protocols. I just feel like federating with Facebook is like getting into bed with your drunk uncle who has a history of molesting people.

Gene Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the Star Trek theme song, but he did it for kind of an asshole reason.

Without Courage's knowledge, Roddenberry wrote lyrics to the theme, not in the expectation that they would ever be sung, but in order to claim a 50% share of the music's performance royalties. Although there was never any litigation, Courage later commented that he considered Roddenberry's conduct unethical. Roddenberry was quoted as responding, "Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I'm sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek."

Even though it says Subscription Pending, you should effectively already be subscribed.

Thanks, I've done it!

I found out you can import not only bookmarks from Chrome, but also passwords, history and autofill data!

How's the no poop challenge community in the Fediverse? I find that mildly amusing.

Anyway, I find your strategy for creating multi-Lemmies to be creative, effective, and harmless.

I have a dear friend who was trying to sell some of us on some of Jordan Peterson's ideas. Like advocating for a return to more traditional gender roles. He's such a nice, sweet guy. It bends my brain to understand why he is espousing some of the stuff that he does.
