@JAC no problems.

@Madchatthew said in Facebook fined for forcing users to agree to personalised ads:

hiding in mom and dads basement, in the dark typing away their version of the social justice they need to push upon everyone else.

Love this analogy - sounds very much like the manifesto of Ted Kaczynski 🙂

@Madchatthew said in Facebook fined for forcing users to agree to personalised ads:

Just because people are non-judgmental, show acceptance and open minded doesn’t mean that you have to agree with everything someone says. It is ok to disagree about things.

Yes, and as I often say to people - “you can think what you like, but knowing when NOT to say it is a skill in itself”. Essentially, keep your views and opinions to yourself, and don’t force your diatribe on others who likely won’t appreciate it anyway.

@DownPW this looks interesting! 😬😬.

@phenomlab absolutely, their step brother residing in a different Countries.

got a mind of it’s own in the process and learned from the environment around it.

That’s my biggest fear right there.

@phenomlab I love that image and think it is perfect! LOL

@phenomlab said in NodeBB Twitter / X embeds:

@DownPW this should work now with the below commit

https://github.com/phenomlab/nodebb-twitter-embeds/blob/main/embeds.js

The reason is that markdown processes the URL and replaces _ with <em> meaning the tweet can no longer be rendered. The quick “fix” would be to escape the underscore characters, so _SaxX_ becomes \_SaxX\_ but that really is ugly, and places the responsibility on the OP, or an admin to go in and makes those changes afterwards.

This new code effectively changes

into

It then removes the <em></em> tags, and implodes the URL so the Tweet Parser can read it. In a nutshell, you land up with this

That’s Fix works great 🙂

@phenomlab of course, to be recognised is fantastic.

@phenomlab said in Ch..ch..ch..ch..changes!:

Sadly, no. Web crawlers and scrapers are often JS based and read text only, so styles don’t have any bearing.

I’ve read mixed things about this, but no that does make sense, it was something I read a many years back when using Wordpress.

Thank you Mark, the changes look fantastic!!

@phenomlab sure, it’s

I also wanted to post this. Here are the latest stats for the server so far. This is with all of the software setup and running along with doing updates once a week after testing them on my dev test server and making sure websites function properly.

Nice review. I would like to see the new 2a plus compared to the s23 plus and s23 ultra.

The price on the nothing phone is so much better. You could get 2 nothing phones and almost 3 for the same price as a samsung phone. The performance on the 2a plus looks really promising if the graphs are true.

@phenomlab said in Netflix hints at password sharing crackdown:

Members come for the content - not to be pounded with random ads.

Agreed Sir! 👍🏻

@phenomlab That is an amazing page! Thanks for sharing that. Corentin did a great job with it.

@phenomlab I will do that. I am hoping to buy it within the next week or two.

@cagatay Not to my knowledge.

@Madchatthew I use it here. It is faster, but not sure if that extends to build times.

@DownPW Very tiring. Seems to happen more often than not.

@phenomlab Perfect!!! Many thanks.

💥🔥 that’s not bad at all!
