Yes, I tried to “wget -S” some of that stuff in the Linux console. Yikes!

Yes, personally I use DDG more than Google, but we are in our 70ies, so it would be hard to convince the wife (who has been a dev 40 years ago) to change her habits. I am already looking into SearXNG, though.

I changed the user-agent of my browser to “Error: No browser installed”. Can’t be more unique than that, I guess. That was 30 years ago, though, I don’t think it will hurt me today 😆

Very helpful command it was for those, whose modem had to be rebooted daily back in the day: Have a cron-job open the tray, which in turn was placed strategically so that it would hit the reset button of the modem, then close the tray. And voilà; automatic reboot of the modem. Robotics at its finest!

Quelle était la langue des néandertaliens. Comment ont-ils communiqué.

That was my first thought as well.

I had the same issue here. Maybe this helps you as a workaround?

I found a something similar issue here https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2666

And that sees to be it. I could set the lemmy.world cookie to “lax” using a cookie manager extension. Now it seems to work, both with F5 and when I leave Firefox.

Thanks for the idea. All my browsers are Deb packages, no Snap/Flatpack/AppImage. I am still on Ubuntu for now, but I try to stay away from Snaps wherever I can due to slightly less-than-stellar experiences.

Ha! Thank you! Alexandrite works normally. Not my taste, though. 😀

Is there anything I can do now, or will I have to work with Alexandrite until the normal ui fixes itself somehow?

Thanks bunches for putting up with me. 👍
I have tried all privacy settings, no change. Where can I change the ui, please; it’s not in my account settings?

And Lemmy is the only site that does this. I do not have this issue with any other site, including other Fediverse sites like Mastodon or Pixelfed.

Thanks a lot!

It happens on Firefox (130), Vivaldi and a pretty virgin Chromium. Firefox is a little worse, in that if I press F5 to just reload a page, I am logged out again, no matter the security setting. This does not happen on the other browsers. I don’t really know what to look for in the console; it shows errors in fonts, things like ‘line-height’ and such, nothing that would give me a hint. However, I am not a web-developer and could easily overlook something.

I use external hard drives. Two of them, and they get rsynced every time something changes, so there’s a copy if one drive should fail. Once a month, I encrypt the whole shebang with gpg and send it off into an AWS bucket.

Terminator for me. It has tiles and tabs and does everything I need.

Shamed be he who thinks naughty of it. 🤣

Not sure, whether it is relevant for this thread, but my phone (POCO F3) does not get any notifications if Google Play Services has no access to the internet. I scratched my head for a while to find out, why I never got them on mobile data. Not sure, what it does, if you disable the store.

Haha, I am a native German speaker, and I had a hard time following them without looking at the subtitles. But then, grammar is a fickle bitch in all languages.

Ah, F-Droid did it. Thank you so much!

Happy days!

Nope, Desktop computer with Linux, Firefox with uBlock, noScript etc.

I’ll look into it, thank you!
