You're not wrong of course, but I really need people to understand that this level of detail is not what a top-level reply to a lower-end technical question is aiming for. Maybe this will be helpful to someone, but I already knew it and didn't need it sent to me, and it's going to go above OP's head. For the average end user, this is abstracted somewhere in the "host stuff" layer, and that's fine.

Can't believe you forgot the usage limits on how many tweets you can view and how many DMs you can send. I think some of those might have been walked back, but I know people who were holding back from discord because twitter DMs were enough that now rarely go there.

Also all sorts of API functionality has been killed off - embeds, RSS, bots, etc

Source for fun. Japanese people discussing their favorite countries. The woman in OP is discussing Belgium!

I guess either they're slow or no one on kbin.social subscribes to them to let them filter into the All feed, then, since I don't keep the NSFW filter toggled on.

Only 22 so far.

Mostly overly spammy meme or lolrandum hotspots (196) and discussion/meme communities and magazines centered on demographics I'm not part of and conditions I don't have (no hate for those groups ofc, just leaving them alone and letting them do their thing while also pruning content I fundamentally can't engage with).

I used to block non-English communities and magazines, but kbin's language filter started working quite well sometime after I signed up, so I removed all those.

I think my instance probably defederated porn since I never see it? Meh. I have nothing against it whatsoever, but there's a time and a place - I have a separate lemmynsfw account for when I want that.

Yeah, doing that does absolutely nothing. Your image viewer still reads it as the webp it is, and it knows to do so seamlessly because it's reading the file header (the first few bytes of the file) instead of the file extension.

For an analogy, you're basically just putting a wig on it and pretending it's your girlfriend from the next school over when everyone in the room knows it's your skeezy neighbor and is just humoring you.

if there’s like a step I can take to avoid it being a webp

Formats are chosen by the uploaders and hosts, not the end user.

For easy conversion of images from the web, I recommend the FF addon Save webP as PNG or JPEG. Anytime you open an image in its own tab, it pops up with a menu that gives you a quick button to choose the format you'd like to save it in.

I wasn't advocating for any posts to get removed, just sassing this chump for acting like anyone who can see what it really is is an idiot ("are you so concrete..." etc)

We know what it looks like, we just also see what it actually is and thus it loses all effect.

The context that it's a copay cap only is really important, and I see why it was vetoed - for not going far enough while a viable interim solution is already in place that gives the state breathing room to wait for a more complete solution.

I've been seeing a lot of misleading as hell headlines about this guy's vetoes lately. There was another one yesterday about him vetoing a bill that would have banned caste discrimination, but that one was because CA's anti-discrimination laws already covered discrimination based on ancestry.

Being horny is harmless and fun. There would be a lot more chill in the world if people would stop being so wound up about it.

The best time to learn emergency lifesaving procedures is before you need them, but the second best time is when you need them. Being old fashioned about this could cost a life.

If you have a quicker reference people should bookmark for such cases, the kind thing would be to share it rather than judge. Else, panicking people will inevitably go where they know they can usually get fast instruction about any other topic.
