Yesterday i upgraded ff to the current version and since today i experienced problems with a bunch of different sites. Either the cloudflare verification sends me into a loop or i get through and the site's not working correctly. Some others work, though. Disabling add-ons (noscript, ublock) and allowing all cookies didn't help. Most work with microsoft edge, but i don't know if the others worked with edge before.

Does somenone have info on that or experienced the same problem? I'm not sure is it just a coincidence or does the update cause the problems.

Edit:

I found a workaround for some. First i set the cookie block from "all cookies" to "all cross-site cookies", then i allowed via STRG+i to set cookies for the refreshed page. Then i set the cookie block back again.

I assume cloudflare changed the address for some of their cookies which got blocked by ff.

The only one still not working (so far) is suprfit.com. It's not a big shop, their software might produce their own shenanigans. I'll shoot them a mail later.

Edit2:

suprfit.com works now too. Whatever it was got fixed.

A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.

In May, the Times of India reported that Infosys bagged a huge deal from the global energy company which is thought to be the second-largest in the history of the firm.

The Indian IT company is owned by the prime minister’s wife’s family although Sunak has insisted the matter is of “no legitimate public interest”.

After her victory this past Saturday, the 22-year-old model – who will represent her country at the 72nd annual Miss Universe Pageant in El Salvador – has set out to be the example that she never had during her childhood. ‘We’re in 2023, it’s time to normalize this’

Interesting tidbits:

  • The first [transwoman] to win a national contest was Ángela Ponce, from Spain, in 2018.
  • The change in regulations that allowed [...] transgender contestants occurred when it was owned by [...] Donald Trump.
  • Since 2022, the owner is Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip, a Thai businesswoman who is also trans.

The risk, explains Yuste, is that the same tools which – in medicine – can help improve people’s lives, can also end up violating the information stored in the brain. “Although the roadmap is beneficial, these technologies are neutral and can be used for better or worse,” he notes. This isn’t only about securing personal data, such as shopping habits, a home address, or which political party one supports – it also involves things as intimate as memories and thoughts. And, in the not so distant future, even the subconscious.

Yeah, i've read that captcha will be available with 18.1 again. That'd be relief for all admins.

Beehaw is still on 0.17. A bit rough around the edges but ok. I'm really curious on 0.18 though.

Keep in mind that Lemmy is basically still beta. A lot of functionality hasn't been implemented yet.

I remember being astonished by them as a child. They were so tall! I'm still glad every time i see one. They've made a comeback since the 80s but are still not common (Germany).

The article is not about single persons who might be trolls or whatever to qualify as a "bad guy". But about megacorporations like Meta. The best way to deal with them is-in my opinion-to not cooperate and defederate them as soon as they start to enter.

We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it.

Exactly my thoughts on this topic.

"Animism is about Relationships." ... "It becomes a lot harder to mistreat the environment and damage it when you see it for what it really is: a web of relationships you are part of. "

Some are run or overrun by those kind of people. Have a look at how many instances are already defederated: https://beehaw.org/instances

[-] Hotchpotch@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

By that line of reasoning all alt-right, homophobe, harassing, doxxing, trolling etc. instances should be allowed to access every other instance to spread their hate. Is that really what you want? I don't.
