My Opera GX is doing that, persisted through clearing cache, and rebooting. Now I’m just using Edge for Lemmy.


I’m fond of the reply:

“I’m upright, breathing, and able to take nutrients; I’m doing well”



Thanks for the fantastic reply, I learned a lot I didn’t know!


I’ve read that in WW2 troops would scrawl the little guy peaking over the edge “Killroy” in locations they had just arrived at, and claim it was there when they got there. So yeah, oldest meme in modern history.


“You’ve blown the main transaxle… ease down, ease down.”


I can’t disagree with the point of the video, social media sites/apps are really great, until they aren’t. It seems like the reasons for “until they aren’t” are getting more severe and happen faster, largely propelled by the companies running them getting greedy and shitty.


OP’s claims being verifiable or not, can we all agree that Meta’s interests aren’t benevolent toward competing competitors and their technology? The fact that is even a hint of a reason that admins of lemmy.world had a clandestine meeting with Meta would be concerning. OP’s logic is sound, and if the lemmy.world admins didn’t meet with Meta, they could state as much and dispel the possibility. Or they could entirely lie about it if no NDA was signed, but they haven’t responded to that question which is concerning.

If the admins of lemmy.world struck a deal with meta, maybe agreed to a payment, who knows what a deal like that would look like, would you all still feel comfortable using it as your home instance?
