Long time no see, Lemmy. I hope Reddit ending is for the best, and I hope all my precious communities migrate to open source software.

Don’t have enough energy to edit out the Reddit bits/adapt them for Lemmy

more and more people do site:reddit.com.

And I thought I had cracked the code and was the only one capable of seeing the matrix. I guess not.

Btw you can also use site:reddit/r/subreddit to get specific subreddit results.

Title’s confusing. GNU-Free can be understood as “distros free of GNU”. Author actually meant “GNU-powered Free distros”.

It’s a meme lol

Edit: Which means that yes, it’s satire.

You’re not talking about it, you are FEEDING it.

Feeding it would be engaging with the trolls. This post is just talking about the issue.

Oh, that’s because you’re not supposed to log in on the page of their instance! You can view their instance from lemmy.ml. It’s not super intuitive right now, but the other person explained a way to do it.

however it imposes an additional account

It does? Can’t you use a single one thanks to federation?

Oh, that’s called submechanophobia! I love the name :P

Here’s a video I saw one time of someone with it reacting to stuff under water: https://invidious.kavin.rocks/watch?v=8QxgI8rpO98

So cool!

Also I tried different potential usernames with a website that let me see in how many mainstream sites it was taken/available. SeerLite was the first one to not be taken anywhere, so I used that.

What I imagine when I think of a scenario like OP is the companies actively scraping Fedi profiles and posts and then using machine learning(?) to map the data to known users. Trackers wouldn’t be necessary.

Of course, that’s a lot of work and I doubt it’s happening soon (if ever). Still interesting to think about.

Running everything sandboxed even if the software that’s being run is FOSS and comes from trusted sources doesn’t sound too bad though. Just another layer of defense. What are the potential security issues this could cause?

Haven’t tried it yet myself, but I’ve heard that Organic Maps is much smoother and faster alternative to OsmAnd~.

Don’t you need access via adb and have debugging options enabled to even see the logcat?

On Firefox I use Sidebery which is a modern and very customizable tree-style-tabs-like sidebar extension

TT-RSS is a web-app and it has different themes, including dark ones. I’ve been using a public instance and it’s worked great for me.

Why would you want to bother creating a room on closed, proprietary and non-federated Discord? Haven’t you heard of Matrix?

EndlessOS

Wow, never heard of this one before

He said, that Signal server did not get a source code update since 2020. He was wrong. It did, this year February.

IIRC no, it was only updated recently. Git commits are shown chronologically according to their commit date, not their push date. So they could have committed back in February but only pushed recently.

Nah, that’s just what the YouTube site responds with when sending a preview request (or something like that). IIRC YouTube isn’t compliant with that standard so specific logic has to be implemented to request thumbnails and descriptions from it, unlike most other sites.
