haruki@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit now blocks signed out VPN connections.English2·2 years agoIt was VPN issue for me. Some IPs in Proton VPN doesn’t work. When I tried a different IP or turned the IP off, I could access again.
Well, but most of the time I don’t care enough to go in.

haruki@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”English2·2 years agoThe different servers, having to remember other people’s instances along with their username.
This is just like email, I see no problem here.
I think the problem is about the mindset and the onboarding experience. We’ve used too much proprietary products and prefer something easy and not too much diverge from the norms. Recently, I tried to advertise Mastodon and Lemmy to my non-techie friends, which are using X and Reddit. Some did try but gave up. They said they didn’t understand the concept, and didn’t want to bother with choosing an instance in the first place, because they didn’t understand the federation concept. It’s just hard to explain the benefits of the fediverse to non-techie people.
The type of people that the fediverse attracts are FOSS users.
I have the same observation as your view. Current fediverse communities are heavily towards tech. Some of my friends joined but gradually left because they had a few to no interactions or no interesting people in their interested areas to follow.
haruki@programming.devto Games@lemmy.world•Nearly Half of CD Projekt Now Working on The Witcher 4English2·2 years agoI learned the lesson: keep the hope low (so I don’t get disappointed), and never preorder.

haruki@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To FirefoxEnglish2·2 years agoThat’s interesting to know. Maybe that’s why add-ons don’t work in Firefox iOS or iPad OS.
haruki@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?2·2 years agoSame. I gave up the first time due to tedious details and weird control. I played it again with some control tweak (can’t remember what I changed) and tried to embrace the slow details, and completely loved the story.
haruki@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024English48·2 years agoRemoved by mod
haruki@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 120 ships today with massive privacy improvements - gHacks Tech NewsEnglish223·2 years agoDefault Brave blocks ads more aggressively than default Firefox. Of course you can achieve that with Firefox + uBlock Origin, but add-ons are not available on iOS and iPad OS.
That’s just my experience. I still use Firefox + Firefox Focus BTW. To block more aggressively, I also use VPN + Adguard Home.
haruki@programming.devto Technology@lemmy.world•It's never been a better time to switch to FirefoxEnglish1·2 years agoUse Vimium add-on and have a pop-up to search your open tab.
Or if you prefer no add-ons or don’t know how to use Vim keybindings then type your search query in the search bar like this:
% my tab title

haruki@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?2·2 years agoWhen you learn to do something, you love it more.
Nowadays, we’re mostly given something and we don’t value it.
haruki@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's one small thing you've done to make your life easier?6·2 years agoNot OC, but I’m using Kagi and super happy. Before I use Kagi, I didn’t realise how bad Google result is. Its results are poisoned by ads and SEO nowadays.
“Comparison is the thief of joy.”
DUPLICATED, CLOSED, etc.
Joke aside, for an open question I’d prefer posting on Reddit/Lemmy/forums to have an open answer.
SO is too strict on its policy.
haruki@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Where else on the web does everyone hang out?1·2 years agoHow do you do that?
haruki@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Where else on the web does everyone hang out?2·2 years agoThe problem with YouTube is that is so easy to just default to letting it feed your brain.
True, a typical example is YouTube Shorts. I hate that 15-second trend.
haruki@programming.devto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Where else on the web does everyone hang out?4·2 years agoMostly YouTube, Hacker News, and some mailing lists. I do join some random forums to discuss non-tech hobbies like English writings, games, or classical music.
Reddit is already blocking some Proton VPN IPs…
