Thanks for that - much appreciated. Sorry I failed to respond earlier, I'm still getting used to the fediverse, and seem to have managed to get multiple accounts so... yeah

What's MARS? I couldn't find any reference that seemed to match due to... well, the ambiguitiy of the name :D

Oh... Trackers. That takes me back, I think I've still got some mod files from old BBS copy cd's from the late 80's and early 90's...

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
Maquiladora
NAFTA
No great single resources for Nike / Child Slavery but... just search for it there are too many to link
I really shouldn't have to link to the environment, right?

Even the history of this is fascinating. This is the "Moses Bridge", and it's a renovated part of the old dyke system that was used to prevent attacking armies from getting in - because the dykes and levee's had blocked the sea so effectively, they realised they could stop attackers by... flooding them out. Literally.

When it came to renovate this area, they wanted to provide access without denigrating the fact it was an old defensive structure, hence this unique sea-level bridge.

That's fair enough. I didn't read it as "initiating a discussion", more "get off my lawn". That may, however, be me - I'm coming off my meds and it's making me grumpy.

I appreciate your point, however - if you wish for this series of communities to succeed, it needs to be welcoming to newcomers. And one of the ways of doing that is allowing for a continuation of conversations that were on the source communities - including, "Oh, we're getting out", "Why it's so bad", "Where do we go to", "How do we make the new community look/feel like I'm used to", etc. etc.

I'm happy to see this because it means that a corrupt and non-people-focussed environment is losing members. Like anything, it will pass, but please don't push people away by making them feel unwelcome.

Awesome, thanks for 1) finding that... 2) showing the site this is coded on so I can noodle and not ask silly questions any more...

60% tinkle...

 

There's a post I'm viewing on the larger lemmy-verse that's failing some basic markdown formatting. I know nothing about the history, but searching didn't really give an answer (Not that I'm much good searching the fediverse), but I'd be happy to help update/add to the formatting system if I knew where it was :D The source of the thread is from here on a link to [email protected], and in-thread I've posted screenshots of how I see it...

And the kbin.social formatting:

Accessing through kbin.social and the table format is not formatted correctly. Assume this is a kbin-problem, not a bot-problem, as looking at it through sh.itjust.works formats correctly...

 

I'm trying to figure out how to stop having to unblock the pihole, in order to bypass cookie consent alerts. I think this is a devious new attempt by the advertising brigade to ensure that adverts are played, but more and more cookie consent blockers are not working properly if you've got an adblocker, and as I've got one at the network level, this is a real frustration. I've tried a few browser-based bypassers, but that doesn't work for many mobile devices, and sort of defeats the purpose of havign a network-level adblocker...

Has anyone else hit this issue and how have you worked around it?
