I believe programming.dev is the main instance for all programming related communities that left reddit.

Which is why all browsers cross identify as other browsers. This would make it easier for sites to block and harder for browsers to work around.

Claiming there's savings just isn't true in reality. If they came out and said it's to help reduce energy consumption to save the planet I'd be all in, and I'm still in for this, but it just makes it hard to fully support with the gaslighting as you aptly put.

I suspect those are OPs urls, and showing them could allow someone to identify the company or site they work for.

Every time that lyric gets me. Every word is meticulously chosen. And all of his songs are like that, which is just incredible.

Stack exchange is CC licensed, and they host a lot of user content.

Where do you think is a reasonable price? Search is something most folks use daily, multiple times per day. If the quality of results is good, that seems like a small price to pay. Netflix is pushing 20 a month, and many other streaming services are in the 10—15 range.

Not a huge surprise there is a large anti-capitalist faction on lemmy, so this isn't terribly surprising.

I'm no meta apologist, they've done enough to warrant skepticism. The reality is they can harvest the data even if you defederate their main instance, by setting up shadow instances or just scraping other instances, so that argument doesn't really hold water for defederation. The bigger one is content vs spam coming from their instances and possible EEE measures, but immediate defederation only serves to keep them siloed off and does not let them function as an offramp to better instances for regular users.
