I configured uBlock Origin to block shorts so I don't accidentally watch that garbage. I consider it psychological self-defense.

That's because they're a malware company:

this has been going on in several different forms for years now so I’m just counting the days until the next annoying pop-up appears.

The solution is to not use their products. Use Linux.

An API proxy to allow 3rd party reddit clients to browse Lemmy with only minimal code changes. I've got it showing comments now :) Source isn't uploaded yet, but it will be soon.

Ganz schlechte Quelle. Rechte christliche Fundamentalisten die auf die rechtsextreme "Junge Freiheit" verlinkten. Nur so als Einordnung.

Du bist ein Held! :D Lassmich kurz drüber nachdenken... Hmm, unter uns, ich glaube da gibt es noch ein, zwei Probleme... Mein Kumpel Lasse war neulich in Bayern. Lasses Fahrrad wurde dort geklaut. Direkt unter den Augen der Polizei. Und die Polizei hatte nichts besseres zu sagen als "Meimei, des is natürlich unpraktisch".

PHP?! Jesus Christ!

Also BMW/die Quandts enteignen? Ich wäre dafür zu haben...

Uneingeloggt bekomme ich auf YouTube häufig Jordan Peterson oder ähnlichen Schrott vorgeschlagen. Die Tech-Konzerne radikalisieren Kinder und Jugendliche um Klicks zu generieren.

Google Scholz Brechmittel Folter.

Oh my sweet summer child :)

Can we stop with this condescending nonsense?

Und deswegen hasse ich Discourse so sehr.

I always thought that was the joke?

If they do end up covering it, I hope they mention spez's doomsday-prepper fascism.

When society crumbles, I'll totally be in charge because I'm such a natural leader. I won't be a slave, but some people definitely will be. But not me, because I have motorcycles and guns. I'll be in charge when slavery comes back. This is a normal thing to say.

Such a blackout could help accomplish that goal though.

Since boost isn't open source, the dev would have to allow you to configure the API endpoint (so the app would connect to the proxy instead of reddit.com), or someone would have to hack the app, which would probably be somewhat difficult.

Wenn das Leben schon die Hölle ist, dann wird die Hölle erst recht die Hölle sein.

Unfortunately, Apollo is not open source and would require action from the dev, which seems not that likely. Another complication is that they seem to be using their own backend to do some kind of caching, I haven't really looked into it.

The reason I want to build this kind of proxy is that any app would be able to use it with minimal changes (configurable API server). For proprietary apps, you're still at the mercy of the devs, but their work is greatly simplified. For open source apps such as e.g. RedReader, Infinity, anyone could make those changes. Another thing that it might be useful for is bots and the like. If I manage to implement support for posting, those could work on Lemmy as well. I personally would like to see the return of kg2bee.

I don't find "Oh my sweet summer child :)" all that friendly, I find it condescending and weird. Recommending the Rust book I have no issue with.

Hello there, you piece of shit.

You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master, you piece of shit.
