This is a credible proposal for DRM for websites in general. It would enable unbeatable adblock-blocking. It would prevent user customization for not just convenience but also accessibility.
I do not say this lightly: Enabling the forfeiture of control over the browsing experience is a fundamentally evil idea that must be rejected now, as it has been in the past, and we must remain vigilant against its reemergence in the future.

Long Post - Announcing FxMastodon - a service which fixes Mastodon embeds on Discord/Telegram/etc.
βοΈ π INTRODUCING: FxMastodon π
Today I was getting annoyed by Mastodon images/videos not always embedding properly on discord, especially if they're NSFW content. π₯Ί
I decided to make FxMastodon, which is a Mastodon equiv of FxTwitter that fixes embeds to make them work properly on Discord and certain other apps π
It works with images, GIFs, and videos from Mastodon posts - only shows the first image/video though
**How to use it:**
Simply prepend "fxmas.to/" to the start of the post URL after https://
**For example:**
https://derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM/110725611755772701
**Becomes:**
https://fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/@LittleshyFiM/110725611755772701
**This also works!**
https://fxmas.to/derpy.masto.host/110725611755772701
And of course, it's **OPEN SOURCE** https://github.com/Someguy123/fxmastodon
Please feel free to try it out and let me know how you like it, or if you find any bugs π₯°π

The "free exchange of ideas" isn't really a marketplace. It's a potluck.
Everybody brings their own ideas, and you're free to sample as many as you like. Some are familiar recipes. Some are classics with a twist. Some are interesting but not to your taste. Some are straight up bad. Some are life-changing. The point is, you can discuss recipes or cooking techniques or ingredients as you sample the food.
If someone brings, say, mashed potatoes, you can debate its appropriateness at the potluck. Will it get cold on the table? Do carbohydrates make up too much of our diet?
But if someone strides up and sets a big steaming pile of dog shit on the table, next to grandma's casserole and the mashed potatoes, that's a problem. And it's not because we're "afraid" of eating their dog shit, or we're worried dog shit will "revolutionize" lunch. It's dog shit. We tell them to get that dog shit off the damn table.
This is why we don't let Nazis come to the potluck. Some ideas are just dog shit.
For those not at Akademy, the #starcitizen free fly event is still on until tomorrow, if you were hoping to try that out!
