Nah. Can't be. Remember when you cut off his head?

I appreciate where you're coming from. But careful you don't replace Trumpist fascism with some other kind of authoritarianism. You want people who tell lies to face house imprisonment? Who decides what statements are lies? It's an easy power to abuse.

This is the issue.

that's the context menu I get on old.lemmy.

It turns out that on some websites, I do get the option to "save image as". But others I don't. the option is there on imgur and some lemmy instances, but not other lemmy instances or Reddit. Very puzzling. Firefox should know that what I'm right clicking on is an image, because it gives me the option to open it in another tab. Why can't I just save it directly without doing that?

Reminds me somewhat of Hurricane Katrina.

"The streets are on FIRE and they wont spread the news nationally . They wont send help. People call for emergency assistance and no one picks up the phone . #Sicily"

Crazy video of widespread fires:

Thanks, I've done it!

I found out you can import not only bookmarks from Chrome, but also passwords, history and autofill data!

I'm switching today. Right now. Because of this post.

^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I've done it. I'm currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That's sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!

I have a dear friend who was trying to sell some of us on some of Jordan Peterson's ideas. Like advocating for a return to more traditional gender roles. He's such a nice, sweet guy. It bends my brain to understand why he is espousing some of the stuff that he does.

This includes all of the @beehaw.org communities I tried to subscribe to. It also includes all BUT ONE of the @lemmy.world communities I tried to subscribe to. (https://feddit.uk/c/[email protected] did let me subscribe.)

What's the holdup? Do community owners get to decide whether I can subscribe? Is it something to do with the domains? Is it a local issue? I don't understand what's happening.

 

And it also seems that mastodon can also be "syndicated" to these other communities, and vice versa? Is that true?

Are there limitations to any of this?

Apologies if this is not the perfect place to ask this question. I'm a lost old man. :-)
