When people started calling my personal mobile number with questions about a voluntary organisation I'm involved with, I was confused: we weren't sharing that number.
On the eve of the regional and legislative elections to be held on Sunday, May 25, peace and calm prevail in the streets of Venezuela, while the authorities maintain a series of measures aimed at safeguarding public order and citizen security.
By Palestine Chronicle Staff Israeli media confirmed helicopter evacuations after a major “security incident” in Khan Yunis, reportedly involving serious injuries among occupation soldiers.

"Why now, after 19 months of relentless assault that was plain for all to see, and declared by Israeli authorities themselves, has the tide begun to shift on Gaza?"
An air of complicity has prompted new rhetoric from UK and EU leaders. But it won’t redeem them – or change history’s course, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

So, I am one of those old school types who mains with Firefox and Noscript. And also a filthy casual that just goes on lemmy.world. But half the images are broken because I'm expected to allow scripts on like 30+ sites to see most of the posts. I'm literally expected to allow /all/ the scripts from a domain just so I can see a dang picture behind the thumbnail. That's the entirety of the scripting needed. That seems ridiculous. Is there, I don't know, a server/way that makes it so I don't have to blanket allow all these scripts? To put it in meme form (not sure I'm doing it right, never seen the show): "It's an image of a banana Michael, what should it take, one Raspberry Pi running Docker?"
I use the vger.app/ app / front end on mobile AND desktop and as far as I can tell it tunnels the images through their servers, so this is as minimal as you can get in regards to extra requests.
So, I agree with everything the other responders are saying. Whitelist the primary domain (and maybe a cdn domain that is hopefully nicely labeled) and a decent site should play decently. But it is also that I (generally) know when to pick my battles--or I at least keep my pointless battles to a small scope and fairly sporatic.
I'm asking for a solution to this from the lemmy community, not reddit or a big corposite. They would want a single domain or a few domains for opposite reasons than making the user happy: they would want to control the user experience and ensh**tify via dark patterns. I do not think we should need to blanket allow scripts from dozens of sites just to see images, that's the scope of this mini-battle I do not plan to fight beyond this post. I mention ensh**tification because I just happened to see this thetyee.ca/Culture/2025/05/26/… on this old.lemmy.world/?sort=Hot&list… (thanks, above suggester for reminding me of old.lemmy).
So open technology like the web is replete with disenshi**ifying add-ons. Ad blockers are running in more than half of all web browsers in the world. It's the most successful consumer boycott in human history, but there are zero ad blockers running in apps, because you have to reverse engineer the app first, and that's illegal under use of Bill C-11 and under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and Article 6, the copyright directive.
[Note, I censored those letters. I've been told you can swear on the internet, though.] One of my "old man yells at cloud" moments of late is when I have to deal with a very small company forcing an app down my throat when a website will do and the using of that company/service (and thus app) is being forced upon me by outside forces. If it's a small enough company, I will go through too many emails back and forth with their "CTO" telling them why it's a problem and why they should just have an app (a site that, yes, almost certainly would need javascript). Because that's the small act of protest some of us should be doing in my mind. That way the next time someone thinks, hmm, we could just do an app and only offer it, they'll then think, naw, there's going to be that one annoying customer, not worth it. Same with this issue, for me at least. I don't see why we /have/ to run javascript on secondary sites just to have a thumbnail and a resulting image. And I'm posing this, again, on lemmy not reddit. So, consider this my allowing myself a brief moment to yell at a cloud.

Mentioned elsewhere, and a decent workaround. Doesn't do well with thumbnails, unfortunately.
[edit: someone below suggested removing the thumbnail sampling (I'll probably try via uBlock Origins). Honestly with that and a bit of zoom, might work fine. Will be testing it.]

🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵: I don't wanna talk About things we've gone through Though it's hurting me Now it's history
I've played all my cards And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play
The winner takes it all The loser's standing small Beside the victory That's her destiny
I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence
Building me a home Thinking I'd be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all (takes it all) The loser has to fall (has to fall) It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain) Why should I complain? (Why complain?)
But tell me, does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say? Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide (will decide) The likes of me abide (me abide) Spectators of the show (of the show) Always staying low (staying low)
The game is on again (on again) A lover or a friend (or a friend) A big thing or a small (big or small) The winner takes it all (takes it all)
I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You've come to shake my hand
I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see
The winner takes it all The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all And the loser has to fall Throw the dice, cold as ice Way down here, someone dear Takes it all, has to fall And it's plain, why complain?

Still, there has been an encouraging revival of discussions about post-capitalist economies that embrace technological progress.
Sure, tech won't save us. But vivid pictures of what a world after capitalism could look like are the fuel that keep the spark alive. And these pictures cannot be created without those whose hearts and imagination are currently taken up by the hype around “AI”.

The Official Music Video for Don’t Stand So Close To Me. Taken from The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta.
Lyrics:
Young teacher, the subject Of schoolgirl fantasy She wants him so badly Knows what she wants to be Inside her there's longing This girl's an open page Book marking, she's so close now This girl is half his age
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Her friends are so jealous You know how bad girls get Sometimes it's not so easy To be the teacher's pet Temptation, frustration So bad it makes him cry Wet bus stop, she's waiting His car is warm and dry
Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me Don't stand, don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom To hurt they try and try Strong words in the staffroom The accusations fly It's no use, he sees her He starts to shake and cough Just like the old man in That book by Nabokov
Don't stand so close to me Please don't stand so close to me

I am going to buy a new graphics card and can't choose between Nvidia and AMD. I know that Nvidia has bad reputation in Linux community but how really it works? And I heard recently their drivers got better. What can you recommend?
P. S. I don't want any proprietary drivers (so I am talking about Nouveau or any other FOSS Nvidia driver if it exists)
Just not true anymore. Must have been years ago that you used Nvidia on Linux. As someone who has been using Nvidia GPUs under Linux (Manjaro KDE mostly), recently also under Wayland (since plasma 6), I can attest that the experience is very good, no "tons of small issues".
Still though, since OP wants no proprietary drivers, he has to go for AMD, since nouveau is dog shit.
Well, by delaying scrapping the two-child benefits cap, and thereby allowing Nigel Farage time to say that a Reform Govt. would scrap it, Keir Starmer has lost any chance of gaining a political advantage from ending the cap...
When (not if) he does end it, now Farage will be able to claim (however disingenuously) that this was an indication of ReformUK's ability to shift the dial on legislation in a positive way for British voters...
So a bit under 3 years ago, I made my infamous Wayland rant post that is likely the most read post on this blog by miles. I should really actually write about music again one of these days, but that's a topic for another time. The language was perhaps a bit inflammatory, but I felt the criticisms I made at the time were fair. It was primarily born out some frustrations I had with the entire ecosystem, and it was not like I was the only sole voice. There are other people out there you can find that encountered their own unique Wayland problems and wrote about it.
With that post, I probably cast myself as some anti-Wayland guy which is my own doing, but I promise you that is not the case. You can check my mpv commits, and it's businesses as usual. Lots of Wayland fixes, features, and all that good stuff. Quite some time has passed since then, and it is really overdue look at the situation again with all the new developments in mind. To be frank, my original post is very outdated and it is not fair to leave it up in its current state without acknowledging the work that has been done. So in comparison to 3 years ago, I have a much more positive outlook now.

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I'd like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmar…
It's not that bad. It's just German for flea market. And English speakers shouldn't have an issue with at least "Markt". Not far from a cognate.
Definitely better names but I think the bigger hurdle is getting the critical mass to get something like marketplace to work in the fediverse even with the perfect name.
I really wish Wayland was more fleshed out & stable before all of this happened. Color management isn’t even yet finalized & putting accurate colors on the screen is like the most important part.
Late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, Ukrainian drones struck the Nizhny Novgorod oil refinery in Kstovo, in central Russia 520 miles from the front line in northern Ukraine. The blasts triggered what the Ukrainian general staff in Kyiv described as a “powerful” fire that burned through the early morning.
Just looking at this post as an example, on lemmy.world show it has 29 comments, but when i open it, there are now only 3 or 4. I replied to one comment, the user i replied to got banned, and the whole comment tree is gone from lemmy.world. Other instances still show all comments, including those from the banned user and my reply. I think it’s very confusing when a single post appears with different comments on different instances, and have no idea how this works.
Edit: why am i forced to upload a photo for a new post?
