Caching is creating a local copy which they host. It might be legal grey area, but IMO it’s a real threat.

This has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.

Any recommendation? I don’t want to accidentally sign up on some right wing instance etc.

One link in one discussion that slips through is basically enough.

Thing is, if this takes off and websites adopt it, FF will be forced to integrate it aswell. I’d be fine with some websites not working in FF, but my mother will call me and say “the internet is broken”. I guess Mozilla doesn’t want and/or cannot afford that.

How so? Educate us!

And? Blatant lies are not exclusive to AI texts. Every right wing media is full of blatant lies, yet are written by humans (for now).

The problem is, if you properly prompt the AI, you get exactly what you want. Prompt it a hundred times, and you get a hundred different texts, posted to a hundred different social media channels, generating hype. How in earth will you be able to detect this?

I’m genuinely curious. Is it feasible that they maintain their own chromium forks, or will the work become too much if Google keeps inserting more and more crap into it?

On Android you can use Firefox with uBlock origin (ad blocker) extension

Can someone make a comment on if and how chromium development changed since Edge uses it? I often hear that Google dictates chormium dev, but what about MS? Are they doing dev work, too?

But sadly, in privacy matters their interests are likely aligned, so that we can expect to be it further hollowed.

Maybe enlighten us?

Yeah, FB was killed by the younger people abandoning it for other SM. Twitter was killed by Musk. Reddit was killed by Spez.

And by “killed”, I mean “lost some users and content quality”. They still have millions of active users.

And my personal feed on Reddit is pretty much unchanged. Very few niche subreddits went into an extended blackout, so I still got all my content. And since I use the mobile website (FF+uBlock), the API change didn’t affect me that much. But I hope more communities from Reddit will move over here, especially the non-tech ones.

With my peers it’s mostly just “phone” nowadays. Likely because landline phones are really rare now.

Googlebot does execute Javascript, but since rendering JS needs much more resources, JS crawling will happen significantly less then simple http crawling. That’s why all big sites still return server side rendered content.

When I browse “all” on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit’s r/all was so much better when nudity wasn’t purged from it.

Out of curiosity, how will Lemmy pay for itself is it continues to grow? What’s the long term plan? Donations?
