I have installed librawolf and I see that canvas access is disabled by default in all webpages so I started activating them when they bother me (whatsapp, youtube, element.io etc.). But then I figure that it is disabled for a reason. What should I pay attention to?

All versions of the TTS I see on the web are hosted on sites that connect to their own external API (I think?) to generate the voice lines, i.e. this site hosted on tetyys.com...

I like science fiction movies and series of all kinds, as long as the story is good. In the past I watched one or two Japanese science fiction movies and remember that I liked them very much (I don’t remember the titles, though)....

Can someone please tell about ISP spying in India?...

The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

I’m not very familiar with how Wikipedia vets the sources in the references/external links.

I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard Visa and other card compabies can sometimes be expensive and difficult to small businesses. Is there something else one could use that’s not cash that would be better?

I have been a member of my current Mastodon instance for a few years now, and I absolutely love the community there. But recently, I found a Firefish instance that I am thinking of maybe switching over to, because I like Firefish so far, and the community there is also really awesome.

This is an open-ended question. I occasionally have facetime dates with my partner. What are some good activities we can do? They don’t have to be fancy or romantic,...

I inherited my grandfather’s WWII compass, and had it sitting around for a long time on a shelf. I recently got a Geiger counter, and find that it’s radioactive. Around 10 microsieverts/hr.

I’m considering writing the merfolk in my story as a sort of metaphor for indigenous peoples, as well as other sea-dwelling or otherwise aquatic humans. Is this inherently problematic in and of itself, or is there a way to write this that works and is respectful to actual indigenous folks? If it’s inherently disrespectful, I...
