          There’s plenty of communities on Lemmy that don’t discuss Elon at all. Curate your own homefeed

            are there any communities that discuss technology advancements ? I can’t find any sub for technology enthusiasts.

            edit: ah gotcha you’re just telling him to go away while trying to sound reasonable.

              You and the other guy both sound like you’re whining that free content isn’t being catered to your every taste for you when you have every tool at your disposal to curate your own content.

              Y’all are entitled as shit.

          Unless every finger on your hand is broken, it’s always viable. And if every finger is broken, I’m pretty sure you’ve got bigger problems.

      I can do you one better with a Tampermonkey script that will replace every reference to his name on every webpage to either “the biggest twat on the planet” or “this dipshit”, depending on which works better syntactically.

      // ==UserScript==
      // @name         Text Replace
      // @version      0.1
      // @description  Text Replace
      // @author       SiameseDream
      // @include     *
      // @grant        none
      // @namespace beepboop
      // ==/UserScript==
      
      (function() {
          'use strict';
      
      var replaceArry = [
          [/ Elon Musk/gi,' the biggest twat on the planet'],
          [/Elon Musk/gi,'The biggest twat on the planet'],
          [/ Mr. Musk/gi,' this dipshit'],
          [/ Musk/gi,' this dipshit'],
          [/Mr. Musk/gi,'This dipshit'],
          [/Musk/gi,'This dipshit'],
          // etc.
      ];
      var numTerms    = replaceArry.length;
      var txtWalker   = document.createTreeWalker (
          document.body,
          NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT,
          {   acceptNode: function (node) {
                  //-- Skip whitespace-only nodes
                  if (node.nodeValue.trim() )
                      return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
      
                  return NodeFilter.FILTER_SKIP;
              }
          },
          false
      );
      var txtNode     = null;
      
      while (txtNode  = txtWalker.nextNode () ) {
          var oldTxt  = txtNode.nodeValue;
      
          for (var J  = 0;  J < numTerms;  J++) {
              oldTxt  = oldTxt.replace (replaceArry[J][0], replaceArry[J][1]);
          }
          txtNode.nodeValue = oldTxt;
      }
      })();
      
      

      In practice it looks like this

        Downvoting is kind of unfair because it is technology based, ignore button just ignores that specific post, unsubscribe unsubscribes me from all technology posts which I don’t want

      Why didn’t you downvote this thread? In kbin I can see who downvoted it and you’re not there.
