What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

“ iOS users: add this shortcut to your share sheet and click on it when you encounter a paywall and itll open the archive link which lets you read and share the article without a paywall icloud.com/…/ede57eb29515446ab7cd68b5a8a6e311

Or use this Praxis Browser app in the same way but it wont let you share the article apps.apple.com/us/app/…/id1598706451

Android users: this Web Archive Viewer app seems to do the same thing as the iOS shortcut but ive never used it play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=web.archive…

Firefox users on any platform: this extension opens the archived version of the article and lets you read or share the article without paywalls addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/archive-page/

The firefox extension can be used on android and ios as well (ios users can install it with the Orion web browser) “

That links to a link to a forum with a ton of replies? Can you just copy paste the reason?

Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and...

Oh yeah it was, looks like imagus was only malicious on the edge store due to it being uploaded by someone else

Tools to archive GameFAQs HTML guides?

So with the ever increasing news that GameFAQs is getting full fandom’d, I figured I would grab some of the more useful guides for when I want to play a “retro” game or just 100% a LAD. From quick research, it looks like the txt guides are more than covered but the HTML ones are still kind of in a void....

This is what I use. Its open source. Loads faster than any other app ive tried. And best of all it also has really convenient features like putting reposts in a carousel, adding different slight color highlights to the background of posts depending on whether its a repost, reply or normal post. Also it has a thread counter like 2/5 so you know if a post is a part of a thread.

Little Rat - a browser extension for monitoring other extensions

"Little Rat is an open-source extension designed for network traffic monitoring. Easily view, monitor, and block traffic from other Chrome extensions on a per-extension basis."

I use it myself and I think it's a very useful extension for everyone who uses more than just few extensions for different purposes and don't fully trust them that they send no data as the developer promises, this extension can monitor the network and act as a firewall per-extension basis.

Download (Lite Version | Can't monitor requests, only block): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/little-rat/oiopkpalpilladnibecobcecijffaflf

Source Code and full version (recommended):
https://github.com/dnakov/little-rat/

(I'm not affliate with the developer in any way and just wanted to share this)

This looks good, hopefully they make a Firefox version.

[Solved] How to backup an entire blog hosted on medium.com?

Using Archive.org doesn’t work on medium posts and ideally I want to archive every post. The blog I’m trying to archive is itsairborne.com in case the posts go down. Googling how to backup medium posts only gives me articles on how to do it if it were my blog. I found this extension called Monolith of Web that allows you to...

Bluesky does this.

The atProtocol has some pretty cool things. I hope ActivityPub can adopt the ability for users to invite others so closed instances can have an invite system
