I used to love HowToGeek, but I sadly see that now that's also enshittified (not the article you linked, but the most recent ones).

Kagi seems very promising but it's paid. Most people will never pay for a search engine.

He removed the ability to see likes made by some profile on the profile page itself.

Yeah, I'll be honest, never have I took a look at somebody's likes on Twitter or Mastodon.

They can't be completely private because instances have to share how many upvotes each post has. That's a limitation of the fediverse, since everything is spread across many independent systems, data has to be exchanged across them.

As of now, they're semi-private because end users can't easily see who voted on a post/comment unless they manage an instance themselves.

Yes, I may be wrong, but spinning up your own instance would also let you see new votes from now on, not votes on old posts. Which makes it even harder for trolls and morons.

Be the change you want to see in the world, send an email asking for IPv6.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately (or fortunately, it depends on how you see it), some providers are already on IPv6. My Italian ISP has IPv6 with CGNAT, so all its users are on IPv6 without even knowing what it is.

So similar yet so different :)

Yes, neutral and masculine were similar, and they just collapsed into one.

I speak Italian, which works similarly to French. The male form is called the "non-marked" form, while the female is "marked". It means that if you use the female form, you're actually talking about women, otherwise it may be anyone. So, the real inclusive form would be to just use the male form.

It's because both Italian and French come from Latin. Latin used to have three forms: male, female and neutral. The neutral and male form were very similar, so during the evolution from Latin to modern languages, the two forms collapsed into one.
