i just use the YouTube site on firefox with adblock and sponsorblock. slightly janky but works
not a perfect solution but better than nothing, i'll keep it in mind
sounds nice but no i need those extensions
no. i literally just want a way to open a site from an app shortcut in firefox.
tried it again the extensions seem to work now, maybe it was a bug with firefox?
anyway the widgets the add to home screen thing adds don't open in the normal firefox app, there's no search bar for example
i use firefox with a lot of extensions, making the shortcut widget with the built-in add to home screen function won't work because it'll open the site with extensions disabled.
i've managed to make it work better by making the shortcut with internet disabled which opens the link in the actual firefox app but that gives the shortcut app a generic icon which looks bad.
i've searched around and there are apps that make shortcuts but no luck finding a foss one.
dunno how people will react to a 9/11 joke here, hopefully the it won't be too negative

nyancrimew posts: remember .io games? that was 8 years ago
therealkepler replies: nowadays the only people that use the .io domain are technology sites
nyancrimew replies: ok so .io is a "fun" lesson in colonialism and technology, like all two letter top level domains (yes all of them) it's a country domain belonging to a country, io being the british indian oceans territory, an archipelago in the indian ocean. .io domains became so trendy because they're easily marketable to tech people (io can stand for input/output), it looks kinda cool and at the time domains with .io were highly available with not many websites being created on the islands.
however .io is not like other small islands with highly wanted tlds such as .ai or .to, where the islands make millions off of domain sales and can rely on them as a big pillar of their economy. all profits from .io sales go to the UK, and despite a fight to get control over their tld the islands get nothing, not only did the native population get displaced in land deals and colonialism but their colonizer also heavily profits off of the territories sudden (indirect) trendyness with tech startups.
don't buy .io domains, don't support the british empire.

making a logging system that saves logs as surrealist artworks.
"the warbled edges and polygonal artifacting of the apple in front the Man's face suggests the crash was due to floating point imprecision"
if you assume the second post has ulterior meaning it could be that someone might not know what a crash log is, but most people who have interacted with computers at least once would be at least vaguely familiar window's file description and understand that text file icon + >200 gb size is not normal
this is, of course, a rather big assumption.
most people don't put that much though in a post and expecting them to will make your online experience a confusing mess.

the day i hear a facsimile of a human voice tell me to buy an app is the day i start carrying a seawater spray bottle with me
MACHINE! I Am Going To WALL MART To Get Chicken Nuggies, Do You Want Anything?
i think it depends on how the app is coded, on android anyway. Some apps have pretty granular control and some just gave like, two categories
contains ads and in app purchases

you go in the trash
it can! but expressing that need through "young women have it better than me" is not healthy. life isn't a zero sum game
yea change takes time and active effort, the fact that corporate interference is so present in the newer generation's minds is already a massive step in the right direction, doomerism (as always) does jack shit for fuck to actually solve anything
