I wish I was in the us lol

sure let me just walk to a better country
hey wait why are there people with guns around me
considering most Minecraft mods directly mess with the Minecraft code as opposed to going through a well defined API (forge and fabric only provide so much) you can’t really make that work without outright stealing Minecraft code
the best you can make would be resourcepack and datapack compatibility. maybe whatever molang stuff bedrock’s up to
if you were to focus this on just Lemmy itself as opposed to the wider fedi (“Especially given that there was just an update allowing for individuals to block instances they don’t like” implies that’s the case) you already have nothing to worry about as you encountering a threads user here will be even slimmer than encountering a mastodon user.
threads is primarily targeting the microblog/personal side of fedi. the incentives and privacy expectations are quite different compared to this side of fedi
re active users: they’re a large open registration instance, they likely have a fair chunk of twitter people who joined during one of the many migrations and decided not to stick around.
They aren’t forced to do anything. Manifest v3 is just a part of the WebExtensions API (which is not a standard and is really just “whatever Chrome does except we find/replace’d the word chrome to browser”) which both Safari and Firefox chose to implement in order to make porting of Chrome extensions easier.
Before that, Firefox had a much more powerful extension system that allowed extensions quite a lot of access to browser internals, but that turned out to be a maintenance nightmare so they walled those APIs off (not a coincidence that Firefox started getting massive performance improvements after that, and extensions stopped breaking every other release) and decided to go the WebExtensions route. I have no clue what Safari was up to but I think they implemented it after.
If they don’t implement Manifest v3, extensions that want to work across multiple browsers need to support both the older Manifest v2 and the later Manifest v3, which would be a burden not many extension authors would want to bother with, which would make them just say “yeah we’re not supporting anything outside Chrome”. Firefox avoids this problem by extending the v3 API to allow for the functionality necessary for powerful ad blocking Google removed in v3 (webRequestBlocking) while also implementing the new thing (declarativeNetRequest) side by side, so extensions that want to take advantage of the powerful features on Firefox can do so, while Chrome extensions that are fine with the less powerful alternative can still be ported over relatively easily.
Firefox does have it’s fair share of extensions on top of the WebExtension API already (sidebar support for one), so adding one more isn’t too big of a deal.
the rule of thumb here is that you should really just use one browser ad blocker. having multiple will conflict especially regarding anti-adblocker prevention (as uBO will try to hide itself and redirect to a “defused” version of an ad script and whatever other ad blocker you have will think that’s an ad and block it)
not entirely sure how well DNS ad blockers fit into this. there is a chance they could make your ad blocking detectable by blocking a request uBO intentionally lets through (possibly in a modified state), but as far as i’m aware there haven’t been too many issues stemming from combining DNS blockers with uBO and the likes.
if this were to happen trust me when i say pluton’s role in enforcing it will be little to none.
as far as i can tell this particular image is fake. and as far as i know pluton does not work like that.
DNS blocking is the most unreliable way of blocking youtube ads you can imagine.
you could write a script to OCR your entire screen and click skip ad and it’d be more reliable than DNS blocking
One of the reasons I use containers instead of installing things directly is that i can completely uninstall a service by deleting a single directory (that contains a compose.yml and any necessary volumes) and running a docker/podman system prune -a
or that i can back up everything by backing up a single “containers” dir, which i could have on a subvolume and snapshot if i wanted to
systemd/quadlet on the other hand makes me throw files in /etc (which is where you’re supposed to put them, but ends up resulting in them being tangled together with base system configuration often partially managed by the package manager)
The Solution™ to this is configuration management like ansible or whatnot, which needlessly overcomplicates things for the use cases i need (though they’re still useful for getting a base system “container ready” wrt ssh hardening and such)
tldr: i want my base system to be separated from my services, and systemd integration is the exact wrong tool for this job
i’m using tilt controls!
If it’s on the play store and if you have it (but don’t have the play store itself) Aurora Store can download paid apps given a Google login that owns those apps (but it’s technically against the TOS and could get you banned)
no if you look at a billboard you’re observing an ad. don’t do that.
afaik some people are worried about the “legal enforceability” of the unlicense, which is funny given the point of it is to be an explicit “go do what you want” license.
and for those that don’t like CC licenses applied to code, 0BSD is also an option
it depends on the implementation. lemmy does have something similar but it’s not as aggressive as email and in the peak reddit migration times it wasn’t uncommon to have un-federated replies and posts from all the instances being overloaded.
also that queue is stored in memory so if the server dies or gets updated or otherwise restarts it won’t bother with old stuff
there are people that do this kinda thing for mastodon (see masto.host as an example), so it’s only a matter of time before lemmy hosters of this nature will pop up.
