Firefox@lemmy.ml•#experiment tagging @mozilla @mozilla to see if this post shows up on #lemmy .English
5·2 years agoNot quite. An upvote on Lemmy is a favorite on mastodon. However, all posts on Lemmy look like they are a “boost” by the community when viewing from mastodon.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Lemmy, what's your internet speed in mbps?English
1·2 years ago181/144 Mbps. Over WiFi.
Doing good! Really happy with where I’m at in life currently.
I don’t go out of my way to get news, so social media/Lemmy. Except for local news, which I do follow more closely. But that’s it.

Wisconsin@midwest.social•UW-Milwaukee announces closure of Waukesha campus in 2025, citing declining enrollmentEnglish
2·2 years agoAbsolute Bullshit. The closure of the branch campuses, which bring the UW to rural Wisconsin, is a failure on the state and on the Universities of Wisconsin (formerly UW System). Thousands of students across wisconsin would not get the life-changing, fulfilling, career-opening education they fucking deserve if all of these branch campuses close.
What is next after the rest of the UW branch campuses close? Bye-bye UW Parkside? UW Superior? UW Platteville?
We can fund these colleges, we just haven’t been. It is about god-damn time that our legislature has a spine and promises to fund these colleges, and to re-open the closed ones, for the future. While you’re at it, make tuition free at these colleges. The state has more than enough money. Help those who need it.

Technology@lemmy.world•It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime SubscriptionEnglish
142·2 years agoI have never used amazon, much less paid for a subscription service for the pleasure of using it. I was hoping that the author atleast stopped using amazon alltogether. Ah well. Little victories I guess.

OpenStreetMap community@lemmy.ml•Is there a free, idiot-friendly way to export a custom area of the map as a PNG/JPEG in other styles than on the offical website?English
2·2 years agoThere’s a way to embed a map in the article itself. See
page for information on how to do that.
Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per monthEnglish
1·3 years agoI got by for a long time using a YouTube playlist and Vanced. Might want to look into YouTube Revanced, it’s a patch for the YT app that deletes ads and adds some extra features.
JackFromWisconsin@midwest.socialtomain@midwest.social•What's with all the gun spam?English
0·3 years agoIt looks like someone posted a bunch of posts (all at once) to the !gundeals community. Its not ads, just an individual posting a bit too much.
JackFromWisconsin@midwest.socialtoTechnology@midwest.social•An Anti-Porn App Put Him in Jail and His Family Under SurveillanceEnglish
1·3 years agoThis shit is why we need a Right to Privacy. Every person should have the right to be private from the eyes of the state. Our (American) constitution forbids the state from unwarranted search and seizure, quartering of troops, enacting or dictating religion, censoring your speech and expression, and stopping peaceful assemblies.
Instead of saying “Privacy is sacred”, we have a mess of individual rights, which when taken together, spell out a right to privacy. We need to fix this mess, because the bandaid of the courts can’t and won’t.
