While they’re at it, could they please also penalize Android app developers who do this too?

It’s not too late.

I understand your concerns and I have as little confidence in the concept of crypto as it currently exists as you’re expressing.

I had no intention to peg a user’s CPU, but if we extend the concept of CPU cycles for content, perhaps a browser could process some data or make calculations, like say data analytics, or some other distributed process that would benefit the author and in doing so would allow both to have a win-win experience.

Wasn’t that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?

Can you elaborate why you think that your comment requires a sarcasm tag?

I’m asking because getting the reader to contribute some CPU cycles whilst they read your content seems to be a way to balance the books, they get something from you, you get something from them.

Note that I’m not a fan of Bitcoin et. al., but the idea of making the reader’s computer calculate something or process something on the authors’ behalf seems, at least at first glance, a valid and potentially unobtrusive transaction.

Did they find any Chianti at his home?

The other way around…

I have some success by using the “Hide Read Posts”, but it’s pretty flakey.

It works as it’s currently implemented.

That said, I’d like it to comply with my preference for Dark Mode without me having to install a browser extension to forcefully recolour the interface.

Not really. Sometimes I even get to the end of the feed :)

When I relaunched 20 minutes ago, it took about three screen fulls to find some already seen posts, then a whole lot of new, then more old ones from nine or so hours ago when I checked at lunchtime.

I understand. That’s not what I’m seeing, it’s the same (sequence) of posts.

But I’ve seen those posts before, so I’m not sure how I could have seen them if they hadn’t been pushed to my instance already.

Also, only one Lemmy account, so no potentially spurious side effects from switching between accounts.

Sort is set to set to All:New

Which is also weird. I just saw several one of those posts, 8 hours old in the middle of the feed.

If that was true I’d see the odd duplicate post, not a string of them. Voyager also shows crosposts like a post within a post, and I’m not seeing that.

So … not made from potato then?

Now do weight …

Tah. I’ll have a look see.

Not sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.

What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).

I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.

In my adventures I did look at this, but it appears to require that you install support for this inside the guest, which is possible for modern guests, but not for ancient ones like say Debian Wheezy or Win98se.

I’d be surprised if they had been updated at all after their installation was signed off.
