You can actually hide them in Voyager for example. Don't need a special instance for it. You can also set the app to combined instead of individual tally.
To answer your question, upvotes and downvotes are fleeting on lemmy and can be oft meaningless. You could still sort content in posts by metrics, but hide votes, and get insight out of it.
Sync it with firefox?
I up voted it for their effort anyway. It's contributing discussion. Including you calling them out on it. You also deserve an (ultimately meaningless and fleeting) up vote.
Why do folks hate crunchyroll here so much? I've been torrenting anime before like everyone else, but a couple years gap later I have found it more convenient to pay $9/mo or whatever and watch shows interchangeably on TV, PC, tablet and phone. I get it, I could do this using self-hosting with various tools, but all those have an upfront cost for a media server and time invested in figuring out how I can make it all work seamlessly on a 2017 LG TV, an iPhone, Linux and a shitty Samsung tablet, plus potentially subscription fee for seed box and/or VPN as well. Whereas crunchyroll just works and if I get tired of anime again, I'll just cancel the service.
The only thing I don't like about crunchyroll is the lack of dubbed kids shows.
Aka. regulatory capture
It sounds like the problem is not with the feds but with the DMCA. It needs to be overturned.
I think the problem goes deeper. Their page tracks everything you do and then sells that data to third parties. UBO only blocks ads and tracking.
The only way to prevent linkedin from selling data related to you is to not use their site at all.
I see this shit about Chomsky being regurgitated like once a week somewhere, and every time I actually read the source material that someone like a YouTuber is referring to, I just come to the realization that people can't read for shit and don't understand philosophy and hypotheticals.
Not that I do, but Chomsky is definitely not full of shit, nor a genocide denier.
Reading that whole page, holy shit, it's like a twelve year old wrote it trying to sound very smart while also attempting to divert blame and falsify agenda. If this ain't a Russian psyop, nothing is.
I have a HP printer that works perfectly fine on Linux. But it's from 2015.
Let's just separate GOOG from Chrome / Chromium and Google Search completely. So that the direction of the most used browser, most used search engine and the biggest advertiser don't circle jerk each other.
