I think you might be a bit lost

https://publicpolicy.googleblog.com/2008/04/how-google-determines-names-for-bodies.html

When our policy says that we display the “primary, common, local” names for a body of water, each of those three adjectives has an important and distinct meaning. By saying “primary”, we aim to include names of dominant use, rather than having to add every conceivable local nickname or variation. By saying “common”, we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage. Finally, by saying “local”, we aim to reflect the primary and common names used by countries that actually border the body of water, as they are the countries recognized under international law as having a special sovereign stake in it.

because believe it or not, sometimes important information gets mentioned in a normal conversation, and not everyone remembers to add it to their personal self-hosted wiki afterwards.
and some people, including myself, often go back a few years in a chat history to reference something, or reminisce.

that requires having an account.

I member when there was no official reddit mobile app, only third party clients, and they were so good.

With bibliogram you can follow instagram pages in rss

good luck finding an instance that works.

Facebook pages used to work with rss bridge

I’m well aware of the RSS Bridge and I use several of them hosted on the main instance, but how does “used to work” help? Facebook used to actually provide RSS feeds for their pages and they used to work, too.

there are some publically available FreshRSS instances that you can make an account with, I personally use hostux. you can access it with the browser and any apps that support FreshRSS (in my case, Read You or Capy Reader on Android, and sometimes RSS Guard on desktop).

I’ve recently rediscovered RSS and I’m in love with it. I just wish Meta wasn’t a piece of fuck and let you add Facebook pages and Instagram accounts. there are some workarounds for the latter, but they’re really finicky.

now that you pointed it out, it feels backwards because you can learn more about a thing, but can’t actively learn less, so “knowing less” reads as reversing a one way proess.

People trying Signal because it’s compatible with WhatsApp that everybody uses would lead to more Signal-to-Signal chats

would it, though? why would anyone move away from Whatsapp if they could talk to Signal users without switching apps?

it requires Whatsapp to open up interoperability with other services if they request that. Signal has already mentioned in the past that they wouldn’t be interested.

we haven’t evolved to live in cities and receive advanced healthcare, either. log off and go disappear in the woods

also @[email protected] so that I don’t have to spam the thread with replies

pixey.org or gram.social would be my choice, I’m on Stux’s Mastodon instance and he’s a good person with good instances

Anyways isn’t it also weird, then, that there is an extension called pi blocker? Or pie blocker?

that’s probably their goal, confusing users who sort of heard about PiHole at some point but don’t remember the name or where to get it from.

if you read the article, you’d find out that the alert linked to the X post. it could be linking to a dedicated webpage instead, which wouldn’t require logging in.

Lapz seems like a cool concept (although I don’t follow F1 myself), but it got put on hold because legal https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/20/24301420/apple-vision-pro-viral-lapz-app-f1-complaint

could be uBlock Origin blocking some elements.

I just tried it with a feed and got Internal server error. I pasted the wrong URL like the dummy that I am.

if you use FreshRSS, you can use CSS selectors to point it to the article’s content: https://neilzone.co.uk/2024/05/using-css-selectors-in-freshrss-to-automatically-retrieve-the-full-text-of-partial-text-rss-feeds/
