Idk anything about this person in specific but my guess is that @ferralcat is referring to “legacy students”. If you search for that term alone or in combination with “Standford” you can read all about what those words mean. The words have very well-understood meanings. For example:

Nearly 18% of Class of 2023 are legacy students or relatives of donors, report reveals

working hard and nepotism aren’t mutually exclusive

As a workaround, if you go to your notifications inbox page, near the top right of the content area there is a little “feed” icon. It is a link to a private RSS feed to your notifications. You can use an RSS reader like a standalone application or a browser plugin to monitor. You can get a notification that way.

Above instructions are for the default lemmy interface as it appears on desktop. You can’t find the link in some other interfaces. And kbin doesn’t have notification inbox at all that I can find.

I always find screenshots from apps confusing. Also I don’t use IG. What is the context of these text boxes? Who is “promoting” the posts? It sounds like an ad from the user who posted it, but the accompanying text says it is advertising Threads.

I notice that the image posted here and the one in the comments by @wolfshadowheart have the same content but the usernames are different. Are they mirror accounts?

I agree the other comment is a bit crass and small minded. It sounds like a very painful situation.

But… for ten (10) years your wife is terrorized by a website on a specific day…? Sounds like it could have been mitigated no?

• don’t go on facebook
• don’t go to work (if your job intrinsically involves using facebook or you just can’t resist it)
• have someone triage/screen your facebook on this specific day — delete/hide the post

my condolences to your wife for the loss of her father.

I agree it it very annoying. I feel it goes against the whole libre and neutrality aspect of why firefox is important. I want the full linux-type experience on every device. :D

As the other comment says, it is possible to get addons in mobile FF . Tbh I have never done it. But I probably will someday.

on android you can enable “share”/“open in external app” and send the link to piped or newpipe or whatever your preferred app is; that’s how I do it

“Fediverse: alternative social media”

Or something

Make it somewhat findable and discernable. Including to the 99.9999999999% of people who dont get the jokes.

This is the place to ask: https://fedia.io/m/FirefoxCSS and check the sidebar links

If you figure it out let me know. I tried and failed.

I havent checked into its status but you should check out the archive team’s reddit project.

I made a post a few months ago with description. Suffice to say archive team are your best hope for mass scraping.

For personal use use you can use a web clipper extension (if you want to convert to markdown) or one that archives complete pages you visit as local files. If you are willing to install software to the computer also, there are tools that will archive your complete history and bookmarks. So you can go get whatever urls you have previously visited (assuming you saved them).

As to cloning the discussion to the fediverse, there were a few projects to try to acheive this but as far as im aware none really got off the ground. Have a search on github.com, gitlab.com and codeberg.org most of them were based out of one of those sites.

IUDs are hormonal

nope

edit: maybe you are thinking of an IUS

if you are a heterosexual, or may at any time in the future have penis-in-vagina type sex, you should learn a little bit more about contraception. that is absolutely not how any IUD works.

as long as you get the right one that can be flashed.

IME most pixels available on the secondary market are bootloader locked.

I have been on lots of old forums too. That is irrelevant to this thread. This thread is about the ability to investigate the typos on the old forum posts. How often are you on some phpBB site thinking “this would be so much better if I could see what incorrect information was edited out in 2009.”? Nobody fucking cares.

yo this isn’t the government.

You seem to be wanting a platform on which to conduct official, auditable conversations which are subject to accountability in the form of total mutual surveillance. For some reason pinning these hopes to a random project with a sewer rat for a mascot.

The internet has been going on for like 50 years now, people have been pulling all manner of flame war shenanigans and this has like never been a significant problem. Because if a conversation is being watched by a lot of people, there are always others who saw the original post who can corroborate the change. And if it isn’t, who the fuck cares? Like I said to OP, if you are getting into a lot of petty flame wars and feel you need this sort of thing, learn to take a screen shot or use some of the other many client side or 3rd party tools available just for this kind of suspicion. For the most part it is some kind of online urban legend tho. Plenty of people are saying all kinds of stupid bullshit online, no need for others to plot and plan to trick them into doing so. Whoever is looking to find stupid bullshit can find it without resorting to trickery, in any variety they choose.

I actually don’t think it is required to trust people on a forum in the way you suggest.

If I was in what I perceived to be a really high stakes discussion (read: flamewar) where I was worried about this, I would take my own measures to ensure I could “trust” the other parties. I would save my own copies locally. Reddit RES had a button you could add client side for just this kind of petty bullshit. If you really want the feature, implement it in your browser/device.

Really though friend, try to have a bit of a sense of humor and distance from your online posting and interactions with unknown people. If someone is going to such lengths as to edit their post so it looks like you are responding to something else to make you look bad, it is either: a) a boring joke, or b) they are really pathetic and sad trying to sabotage you. Either way, it’s not the end of the world. If it sticks in your craw, you can just go edit your comment to say “edit: the comment to which I am replied was substantially edited after I posted so what I said no longer applies”. You can either delete what you said, or correct it, or leave it as-is with a caveat.

To draw attention to an edit, for example to correct an erroneous statement, use a combination of strikethrough and bold (or italic if more appropriate):
