Facebook is also expected to roll out these new controls at a later, undisclosed date.
Is that date never? I feel like they must make way too much money off of boomer rage bait.

Much better to just post an archive link. Lemmy’s not really big enough to garner this kind of attention yet, but copying article text wholesale is a good way to get DMCA claimed and that’s not fair to do to instance admins.
They moved too quickly and the backlash was too intense. They will 100% try to push this shit again as soon as they think the market/userbase might bear it.
Yeah for sure. I’m no expert by any means, but I can talk through what I did.
I used the instructions directly from their code repository: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/#one-step-automated-install (I used option 1, the automated install). I did this on an old RPi2B that I had laying around.
After I set up the pi, I got its MAC address. I used this to set a static IP address in my router settings. This is important to make sure the pi keeps the same IP at all times. Then, also in my router settings, I set the DNS server to be the pi’s static IP address.
After all that was done, I just plugged the pi into a dedicated power supply and rebooted the router.
The ads still appear in the facebook feed but clicking them results in a “this site could not be found” or similar error, is how I understood it to work. I know the PiHole basically makes it so the routes from “whateveradwebsite.com” end up not resolving to an IP address. I’m not sure how FB is serving them; so the text/image content might be coming from an FB server and the link is just an ad URL with a bunch of tracking info on it.
My retired parents live with me. I went ahead and put a PiHole on our home wifi. A day later my mother was literally complaining that she couldn’t click on ads on facebook. I told her those are ads and they track her and she says “well everyone likes to use the internet how they like to use it… can you put it back the old way? I want to look at these shoes”. Can’t fucking win.
Ahh good callout, I didn’t see the filename.
Just a heads up, all of the reference links are busted as far as I can tell.
I’m 99% for markdown you want to do:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet [link text][unique name]
…
[unique name]: website URL
Edit: removed actual URL because my Lemmy client was formatting it for markdown lol
Glad to hear, good luck with your project.
Take a look at fine grained personal access tokens on GitHub, and this SO thread that discusses using them over HTTPS. In theory this should allow you to make a token that can only access the one remote repository, for a temporary duration you define (you could set this to end shortly after your semester for instance). I’ve never personally set this up so YMMV, but this seems to be the right way to achieve what you want.
This is a very good counterpoint imo. I know it’s a bit of a slippery slope argument, but thinking about this as an “in for a penny, in for a pound” kind of scenario really does empirically align with human nature. If you’re willing to sell out for something comparably small at the start, you’ll think less of it next time your donors ask for more, and it goes on and on with no end in sight.
Same dude… I can’t figure out what he stands to gain other than just being contrarian. I never thought I’d say this but I’m actually agreeing with something that representative butthead said. Strange times we live in.
They’re also using this website template: https://webflow.com/templates/html/flux-it-company-website-template
And they didn’t even change the header logo (notice the “flux” logo at the top of the page).
Definitely seems like some guy paid $24 for a template, half bothered to fill it out, and is hoping to collect as many $1000 payments as possible.
Damn dude that’s a lot. Good on you for keeping the content going though, I really hope the creative outlet is making it worth the effort! If the kbin<->lemmy federation gets working properly I’d love to sub/contribute to fakealbumcovers.
Yeah he’s been pretty blatantly anti-trans. This article has more info, but the highlight here is that his daughter, who is trans, disowned him.
