Could you honestly tell me how I’m being toxic please. I think you’re misunderstanding me and I genuinely want to know why you think this.

Thanks. I can’t find anything like that. Here’s some screenshots of what the profile settings look like. These seem to be the whole sites profile/accounts options. Maybe there’s just no option.

Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why some people are downvoting me for not knowing Japanese though. I’ll try to see if I can find those symbols on the site, but so far the furthest account option I’ve been able to find is to change the password.

I’m toxic? I’m sorry, how?

I think they support it now in Firefox, but didn’t used to; they just don’t currently support it with Japanese as far as I know. I’m sure I was looking at a Chinese or French website some months ago and it worked with Firefox’s built-in page translator.

What is 消去? DeepL translate says it means “Elimination”. I’m not sure what you want me to do with this.

Fair enough, but I gave my reason in another comment, so you should read that if you want to know.

Yeah, scrubbing it like that is usually a last resort, I generally try to delete the profile, and if I can’t, I scrub it with unidentifiable information. If I already happen to know from the policy that they keep your data for a period of time after deletion, I scrub it before deleting.

Nah, I can’t get the Firefox translating to work. And websites not having a built-in account deletion option is the reason many sites offer (usually buried in their policy) the option to have it manually deleted, only if you directly contact them via email. I’ve done this with a few websites before and it’s a pretty easy process.

I didn’t say anything about them sending me emails. But yeah, if that was an issue I would have done that, so thanks.

It’s not good to ever keep random accounts abandoned. It’s just good security and often privacy hygiene that most people don’t practice. I already have over 100 accounts total across the internet, and am planning to skim that number down drastically. It’s especially important security & privacy hygiene, because if you leave dozens of accounts abandoned and the services experience a data breach, the fact that your data is now out there is partially your own fault, and since we’re on the english-speaking side of the internet, I doubt we’re going to hear about a data breach for some random Japanese site.

Thanks, didn’t realise you could do that. And yeah, the note is very misleading.

I’ve just noticed something extra: As I said before, if I select English as a language, then “Undetermined” becomes deselected, yet the content still remains viewable. Well, I’ve just figured out why the content remains viewable: It’s because “Undetermined” for some reason gets automatically re-selected; it’s just that you can’t see that it’s happened unless you refresh the whole settings page (after saving).

I think the whole language section of the settings needs a redesign, because this is very confusing.

Thanks, but no. I’ve realised now that I accidentally deselected English as a language option and saved changes (I saved changes because I was testing the “Auto expand media” option). But I was a bit mislead by the little note above the languages which says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.”. It made me think that I needed to make sure that “Undetermined” is selected in order to keep seeing most content, because that’s what it sounds like in its wording. So I re-selected “Undetermined” and saved changes, and it caused my posts to disappear; I just didn’t notice immediately because I was busy transferring my subscriptions from this account over to my new one. I’m still not sure what that note was trying to say, but I’ve fixed it now by selecting English.

What makes it a bit more confusing is that when I select English, “Undetermined” becomes deselected, which is what the note is telling you not to do; this must be what compelled me to select “undetermined”, because selecting anything else deselected “Undetermined”. It’s only after you save and completely refresh the page, that “Undetermined” suddenly becomes re-selected again, but English also remains selected at the same time.

Thankyou, that fixed it! Didn’t realise I had done that. On the web client, there’s a little note above the languages list that says “Warning: If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content.” This confused me because I thought it was saying that “undetermined” needed to be selected in order to see most content. So after clicking another language, I re-selected “Undetermined” to make sure the language would remain as it was. So I think the wording of the little note mislead me and caused me to do the wrong thing. I clicked “Save” after that, not knowing that I’d disabled English posts.

I still don’t fully understand that little note, because if I select English, then “Undetermined” is automatically deselected; but I still see most content (including what’s on my profile). But if I specifically select “Undetermined” and save the changes, than the posts become invisible, even though that’s what the note seemed to be trying to make sure I did.

The note seems to be saying “Keep Undetermined selected” in order to keep seeing most content, while in reality, selecting “Undetermined” makes most content disappear. Do you see what I’m trying to say?

Edit: Re-worded some of the second paragraph and split it into two, because I had an incomplete sentence that didn’t make sense. Oops; ironic.

I don’t think the article was trying to imply that they weren’t already in use in electric cars, just that they would be better for them.

Hm. The link is actually a video on odysee.com. I’m experiencing no issues on my end, and it’s even letting me watch the video in a miniplayer within Lemmy itself. I’m using LibreWolf, a privacy fork of Firefox, so I don’t know if this is an issue on Chrome-based browsers or not.

No worries. Thanks so much for uploading it. Glad I reached so many people before the time.

Another cool one is an unofficial YouTube client app called ThirdTube which is pretty cool (and has 3D video playback if the video itself supports it). There’s an emulator for the Virtual Boy called Red Viper which just had a huge update recently, which made every game in the entire consoles library run accurately at full speed (and even the 3D from the original Virtual Boy works too!). You can add custom themes to your main menu with the app Anemone3DS and can make a backup of the save data for each of your games onto your SD card with an app called Checkpoint. They’re all my favourites; otherwise I haven’t explored a large amount of what is on offer still.
