I had Lyme Disease and it sucked, felt like a zombie walking through a sick foggy dream world until I got antibiotics. Luckily I noticed pretty quick it was from a deer tick. I hope your pupper gets treated and has a full recovery 😁

Haha I can hear the sad music now, while slaying away those Elder Willows. There was something almost meditative about collecting those DB’s.
At one point I set up a bot to collect them, he grinded away so long on those that I swear he reached somewhere in the 90’s for his level
Your username gave me some major nostalgia. I think I played iRO like nearly 20 years ago! Even rolled a Super Novice lol
omg this got me off hard*
FTFY
This is a great summary of the fall of Elon Musk. I admired him too years ago until he went off the rails. RIP to the better decisions and the their benefits that this man could have made.
I hope there’s an option to see the upvotes as well as downvotes rather than just the total. That’s one thing I’ve liked about Jerboa so far that other apps aren’t doing.
Do you also have a bird named Kazooie?
It hurts my soul knowing all of this useful content was removed from reddit.
I’ve moved on to Lemmy, but I’m having a hard time removing everything from reddit. I know with so many people removing their old posts/replies that it will definitely hurt reddit, so many googled content won’t be there.
It would be cool if we could transfer our old posts here in some sort of meaningful way, but I don’t see how that could happen in a way that makes sense.
In case you’re wondering why all the down votes, it’s because of this concept:

Edit: Heres a summary I had in another post.
Summary:
The Fediverse is a decentralized network of servers communicating through the ActivityPub protocol.
Large corporations like Google and Microsoft have a history of either trying to control or make decentralized networks irrelevant.
Google joined the XMPP federation initially but implemented their own closed version, causing compatibility issues and slowing down the development of XMPP.
Eventually, Google stopped federating with other XMPP servers, leading to a decline in XMPP’s popularity and growth.
Microsoft used similar tactics to hinder competing projects, such as the Samba network file system and open source office suites like OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
The strategy involves extending protocols or developing new ones to deny entry to open source projects.
Proprietary formats and complicated specifications are used to maintain dominance in markets.
Meta’s potential entry into the Fediverse raises concerns as it could lead to fragmentation and a loss of freedom.
The Fediverse should focus on its values of freedom, ethics, and non-commercialism to avoid being co-opted by large corporations.
How a new federated decentralized platform can avoid this fate:
Stay true to the principles: The platform should prioritize and uphold the values of freedom, openness, and decentralization.
Develop open and robust protocols: Use open standards and ensure the protocol’s specifications are transparent, well-documented, and not controlled by a single entity.
Foster a strong community: Encourage collaboration, participation, and diversity within the community to avoid reliance on any single company or organization.
Emphasize user control: Give users control over their data and privacy, allowing them to choose which servers and communities to join and ensuring their content is not subject to corporate surveillance.
Focus on user experience: Create a user-friendly interface and provide features that attract and retain users, making it easy for them to engage and connect with others.
Avoid centralization of power: Design the platform in a way that distributes authority and influence across the network, preventing any single entity from gaining too much control.
Promote interoperability: Support compatibility with other decentralized platforms and protocols to encourage communication and collaboration across different networks.
Educate and raise awareness: Educate users about the benefits of decentralized platforms, the risks of centralized control, and the importance of supporting independent, community-driven initiatives.
By following these principles, a new federated decentralized platform can strive to maintain its integrity, preserve user freedom, and resist the influence of large corporations seeking to control or make it irrelevant.
I’m really looking forward to SDXL. I’m curious about the fact that it’s two models working together for the final output and how that will affect creating custom models and scripts for it.
I think there are likes, it’s just a star icon instead.
You’re right, what am I talking about. Updates relationship status: In a Federationship
That’s a bit much, I’m not looking to get into a relationship here. /s
The plugin you are mentioning is based on dislikes and yes it is very inaccurate. The one I mentioned works off of the ratio between the likes vs the view count so the accuracy is always there, it’s a different way of going about it.
I agree that YouTube just needs to bring the dislike count back, it’s a pain trying to find these alternative ways to know if a video is good when the data is there. It’s so greedy of them, outright harming user experience for profit.
I second that, it’s been very useful for coding/debugging for me too. And the cool part is that it’s only going to get better.
I have been using GPT4 as a Google replacement and it’s been working out fairly well.
Ever since dislikes were removed I use a plugin that shows the ratio of likes to views to determine if a video is worth watching.
Most of the time if the likes to views is >= 2% then it’s an okay vid.
Jerboa needs this added
On Android the Firefox app allows the use of extensions including all the adblock options you would find on PC. Works great and for YouTube as well.
