thank you for stepping up, I tried to connect with @[email protected] earlier this year to talk about community topics but I think they are inactive

definitely Progressivist is the most active mod and I agree. There is no rule yet but maybe you’ll get into trouble with instance admins posting 100s of picture at once. I think with some common sense you should be fine. Maybe just post your top 10 pictures or strecht it over a period of time so that we get a picture from you each day/week for example

I’m not aware there is such a list. Logically it’s mostly small countries where they speak their own languages where no big corporations that produce ads have any interest in. You probably will find some comment like mine where they mention certain countries but this can always change any day. Sometime there is a single advetiser in a country but even then you will see their ad much less frequently than the common US/English based ads.

I can recommend you the Nord Vpn Firefox addon which allows you to only use vpn for certain domains which would be anything with *.twitch.tv

Same as on other platforms twitch ads are location based or in this case ip geo location. They are notoriously fighting ad blockers and have long been opting into ad stream injection which is why most common ad blocking techniques won’t work. Basically after all the custom script solutions, like vaft script, started failing l started testing around with VPN taking advantage of the location based aspect of ads. Basically there are countries where noone is paying for running ads. E.g. Czech republic. So basically the most secure way to block ads on twitch is Vpn to certain countries. However I noticed that you need to use IPs from that country for about a day. It seems they are caching your Ip for some but after that you wont get any ads. You can read about all known ad solutioms of twitch here: https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions

Also this does not work with the twitch mobile app and neither with the mobile version of twitch in a mobile browser. However it does work when switching to the desktop version in your mobile browser. So desktop version while using vpn on your phone should work. At least when I tested it last.

or instead of throwing more data/money at Big Tech try one of the self hosted instances of https://nextcloud.com/office/ or https://cryptpad.org/

yeah I liked the area so I dod go for a walk. No resort, just something like an air b’n’b

no it’s probably just the panorama view that lets it look like it is slipping down. It still looks impressive in reality but it probably won’t slip down any time soon, I hope ;-)

nice, we can’t get enough

don’t tell them

yes

it’s been over a decade since I moderated any community but I really like the pics community, I’ll help you out if you still need help

you are my hero for today 🤗

Thx for the hint, it’s on Steam x-mas sale btw., including the DLC

ah this is the professional CAD tool from autodesk. I only used the minimalistic web version of Tinker CAD, probaly enough to do small customizations on cases

What modelling software are u using?

wefwef is a progressive web app. It’s something inbetween a native mobile app an a traditonal web app u would load in your browser(aka the user interface of your homepage). They have certain advantages but also disadvantages like performance and dependemcy on specific browsers etc. Basically everything you download from app stores like Google play are native mobile apps everything else runs in a browser or some container of it (roughly summarized)

btw his birth house can almost be seen on the pic, guess it’s shadowed by a bigger building though

lol yeah strong stream today cause of rain obviously ;-) I guess it looks more clean usually

Just uploaded my first photo here using the “connect for Lemmy” app and it was a bit weird. For some reason it gave me the choice of 2 different communities to post in even though I was on [email protected] Also the app is using the android default file selctor which is again more inconvenient that I was used from rif. Also the pic itself is uploaded to the instance your account is signed into, which is fine and I guess one has to get used to the federated technology first. However the image upload kind of relies on the stability of your account main instance I guess.
