This would be so good. As someone who fully switched to Firefox on Android I hate that chrome webview is a thing.
Closest without rooting is to “uninstall updates” to the chrome app in the menu which makes it “APK Stub” instead of Chrome, ans then disabling Android Webview.
It’s arbitrary but something like SELECT * FROM posts WHERE datePosted < ( currentDay() - 7) ORDER BY upvotes; doesn’t feel like an algorithm as it is now used in common parlance to me.
A simple quantitative analysis of an existing metric and (upvotes in the above super simplified example) is just not really the same thing in practice as say: multiple linear regression of hidden backend engagement metrics gathered through things like cursor movements to pick a suggested video that is predicted to optimize the best for watch time and CTR from a list of videos on a balance of personalized and generalized (through tracking trends amongst demographics) favourites topics and other qualities classified and categorised by a whole other black box involving all sorts of classifier models from text to images and so on.
Idk, I didn’t take algorithms in CS at uni, so this is just a layman’s two cents. I’m happy to be explained to why this isn’t a valid perspective.
Nah. Algorithms, especially personalized as a way of sorting a feed are just a shite idea. Maybe one of the iOS apps will add something like that but if anything Lemmy being different is a selling point. I got two friends on fedi by telling them that “it has no algorithm” which is a simplification of course but you get the gist. It also really hits home that this is not a corporate product.
Nah. The different character of the communities and their history makes them unique and special, hiding that for broad appeal is unnecessary.
No need to muddy the waters with weird client-side obfuscations, one big one almost always wins and the other gets reposts, while subscribing to both is trivial if one wishes
We had this as the firewall in our school! I remember bypassing it in so many ways with Google DNS and whatnot.
TL:DR: Apple operates in Russia and removes anti-war based relatively good guy non-state-funded anti-Putin podcasts that Russian government doesn’t like within Russia. Afaik.
Sucks. Fuck KYC now and forever
Huh? First time I hear of such a thing. How can I use this Firefox Webview system-wide?
