Go ahead and try scraping an arbitrary list of sites without an API and let me know how that goes. It would be a constant maintenance headache, especially if you’re talking about anything other than the larger chains that have fairly standardized sites

Because grocery stores don’t make that data accessible to third party developers, otherwise someone would do what you’re suggesting and they’d risk you shopping elsewhere.

Give NixOS a shot. It’s got a learning curve that may be difficult if you’ve never read code, but it’s my preferred immutable setup.

It even has more packages than Arch.

Here’s the video that got me onto it:

Bro just accept the L and quit while you still can

Edit: I just saw the thread 💀

I’m really enjoying Otterwiki. Everything is saved as markdown, attachments are next to the markdown files in a folder, and version control is integrated with a git repo. Everything lives in a directory and the application runs from a docker container.

It’s the perfect amount of simplicity and is really just a UI on top of fully portable standard tech.

Salient demonstration, but if image proxying were to come to Lemmy I’d hope it was made optional, as it could overburden smaller instances, especially one-person instances (like mine). We also need a simple integrated way of configuring object storage.

I’ve had pretty good experience with both Paperspace and Runpod. Paperspace even offers free gpu’s, though availability is not guaranteed

I wrote a few scripts to automate this entire process for me:

If you’re able and willing to self-host, I’ve developed a pretty great system that automates my entire process. The app I’m using on mobile is also available on iOS

I was using Vanced for around a year, and immediately switched to Revanced when it became available. No issues so far

Open settings, go to search from the left hand menu, scroll down to the list of search shortcuts and either permanently remove the ones you don’t want, or just click the checkbox next to it and it won’t show up in the address bar.

Also that level of pixelization is easily reversed, better to just black out the parts you don’t want visible.

I welcome any alternatives to the current situation, but unfortunately that’s where we are right now.

The only solution would be a massive effort that requires decades of engineering hours and a few million dollars.

You could always try Asahi Linux if you’re on a newer MacBook

Firefox is actually a bit faster and lighter than Chrome these days. Worth checking out it or it’s forks over Chrome

Lesser of two evils

I’m not sure what you’re looking at there? I don’t use Edge, I’d reccomend checking the tutorial on Greasyfork or checking Youtube.

It should be as simple as clicking the Tampermonkey icon, clicking the settings option, and entering some keywords to block:

I have a userscript for this purpose:

but if you need me to leave, I can. I get that a lot.

I don’t think OP is suggesting this. It’s simply a reminder to those who have the privilege of having extra income that contributing to the core devs improves the experience for everyone, regardless of their individual ability to contribute.

I’m personally happy to donate if it means everyone gets to continue enjoying the growth of the platform, as the real value of the threadiverse is user activity.

You’re not paying to remove ads from Lemmy. You can continue using Lemmy ad-free on mobile via the mobile site or any of the other PWA’s or native apps. What you’re paying to remove ads from is Sync. The developer has decided that they need to be compensated to sustain the amount of effort developing and maintaining the app requires. If you don’t want to pay that price with cash or your eyeballs then don’t use it.

Nobody is forcing you to use Sync, nobody is forcing you to see ads. The beauty of a platform like Lemmy is you have the choice to use whatever client you want. That doesn’t mean you’re entitled to any of them.

There’s an expression I think about a lot, “You can’t think when you’re hungry”

Unfortunately principles and ideals are calorie-free
