that's the context menu I get on old.lemmy.
It turns out that on some websites, I do get the option to "save image as". But others I don't. the option is there on imgur and some lemmy instances, but not other lemmy instances or Reddit. Very puzzling. Firefox should know that what I'm right clicking on is an image, because it gives me the option to open it in another tab. Why can't I just save it directly without doing that?
Sicily - which has already been brought to its knees by a prolonged heatwave - is battling wildfires that are threatening towns and cities across the island.
Reminds me somewhat of Hurricane Katrina.
"The streets are on FIRE and they wont spread the news nationally . They wont send help. People call for emergency assistance and no one picks up the phone . #Sicily"
Crazy video of widespread fires:

Sicily - which has already been brought to its knees by a prolonged heatwave - is battling wildfires that are threatening towns and cities across the island. Temperatures of more than 47.5C (117F) were recorded in Catania on Monday.
Several resorts and tourist hotspots around the island have begun evacuating their guests.
Palermo Airport was temporarily closed to air traffic on Tuesday morning after wildfires in the hills around it reached the airport perimeter.
The fires are causing deaths across southern Italy. Local media reported that two bodies were found charred in a house near Palermo airport.
In Sicily, an 88-year-old woman died after falling ill, as the fires prevented emergency services reaching her.
A 98-year-old man in the region of Calabria died when the flames from a wildfire reached his home where he was bedbound.
In Sardinia, a firefighter died of a stroke after spending hours battling a blaze.
A firefighter was seriously injured near Palermo while trying to tackle one of the blazes, which are being fuelled by high winds, local media reported.
More than 200 people in Palermo have already sought medical attention for smoke inhalation. Two hospitals have suspended routine appointments to ensure people suffering from smoke inhalation or other illnesses related to the extreme heat can be looked after.
Half of the bus network in Palermo has been suspended as the vehicles are overheating and cannot cool down because of consistently high temperatures.
Hospital Cervello, in the north of the city, is being threatened by the flames, while some wards have been evacuated, Italian media said.
The farmers' association, Coldiretti, said Sicily was facing an "unprecedented catastrophe and incalculable environmental damage".
The minister for civil protection, Nello Musumeci, wrote on Facebook: "This is one of the hardest days in Italy's history for 10 years. Climate change has hit our nation and demands that we all change our ways. There are no excuses." "We knew that today would be the hardest day," Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told Italian radio RTL 102.5. "We have a situation where very high temperatures are combined with wind, which makes using Canadair [firefighting aircraft] impossible."
"We are following the situation, which is very delicate, minute by minute.".
Thanks, I've done it!
I found out you can import not only bookmarks from Chrome, but also passwords, history and autofill data!
I'm switching today. Right now. Because of this post.
^^maybe
EDIT: okay. I think I've done it. I'm currently editing this comment from Firefox. I already had Firefox installed. But now I have pinned it to my taskbar. I went to import my bookmarks from chrome, and found that I also had the option of importing other stuff from chrome, too (bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data). That's sweet. My bookmark bar has the same bookmarks in the same position. I also installed ublock origin, like someone recommended. And I am going to give it a go. If it all goes smoothly, I will unpin Chrome from the taskbar.
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
comment from the forum:
New ISPs in my country are IPv6-only because there is no new IPv4 space to be provided to them. They do have a over-shared IPv4 address by CGNAT but due to the oversharing, it is unstable and not rare to be offline. For these companies, the internet access is stable only in IPv6.
Thinking about the server-side, some cloud providers are making extra charges for IPv4 addresses (e.g.: Vultr.com) so most of the servers in my company are IPv6-only. Cloning github repositories is very cumbersome due to the lack of IPv6 support and this issue affects me and my team mates on a daily basis.
The math is simple: there are 4.88 billion internet users in the world but the IPv4 space only provides 4 billion addresses. It's over: IPv4 is obsolete and is provided in a legacy mode. Current applications and services must be IPv6 enabled otherwise it should be seen as obsolete. For that matter, Github.com is an obsolete service because it relies on obsolete technology as IPv4.
I joined the WGA in 1986 and have been through several strikes with them. We made gains in all of them, but some issues are more important than others… and this year’s strike is the most important of my lifetime.
Thanks for posting the link!
We need discourse. News sites are largely owned by rich men and corporations.
You don't have to move your account. You can subscribe to the other community on the other instance from your existing account. That's the beauty of the Fediverse.
Well, I hope the Fediverse works out. Otherwise I think were gonna have to go back to hand printing zines.
I hate Cruella Braverman.
