  • Chrome, and browsers based on it, currently account for more than three quarters of web traffic. This gives Google a huge amount of power over the web and how people are able to interact with it. Google is also a company who’s primary business is advertising and surveillance; this means they have every incentive to curtail your ability to stop websites from spying on you and force you to use the web on their terms. They’re currently exercising this power with the rollout of Manifest V3, where they’re severely limiting the functionality of content blocking extensions like uBlock Origin.




  • Interesting project, I hope it takes off. Definitely a problem I’ve run into.

    website may be grammatically incorrect

    I only noticed three small mistakes.

    Communities in Lemmy are only federated if a user is subscribes to them from external instance.

    This should be ‘subscribed’ and ‘an external instance’.

    I think mods (including me) wouldn’t to put effort into a new community

    Should be ‘wouldn’t want to’.



  • It’s main advantage, as far as I can tell, is having a much simpler interface. It’s snapping tools are trivial to use and discover, but far less robust than Krita’s assistant tool. It’s easier to add brushes, but you have far less options in configuring them. I don’t thinks there’s anything that Firealpaca can do that’s partially hard to do in Krita. Also, Firealpaca doesn’t have a dark mode.

    I’m not an experienced artist though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.








  • A better solution is a curated list of tags users can attach to their posts.

    I understand some communities wouldn’t want unrestricted tags, but it’d be nice if this was an option they could configure. It’d be annoying for say a gaming community to have to add a tag for every game ever, or a music comm every band ever.
