Hello, my name is Cris. :)

I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff

  • Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soon

  • Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don't even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.

    I'll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.

  • Lemm.ee communities migration megathread

    Jump

  • I'm falling asleep or I'd go grab a link but I believe !webrevival@lemm.ee has a discussion post now, I think I saw it a minute ago

  • Bonfire's new software lets users build their own social communities, free from platform control

    Jump

  • I'll have to sit down when I have a moment and see if it's possible to create an account or if there's an instance up yet!!

  • PSA: Exporting and importing your Lemmy account settings will also include your saved posts and comments

    Jump

  • Oh nice! I've been thinking about migrating for a while but that's one of the big things I needed to figure out

    Though I was kinda thinking about switching over to .ee, which, maybe not the call anymore lol 😅

  • Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?

  • Lol, no worries. Hope you have a lovely day!

  • Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?

  • By the way, it's ActivityPub, like activity publication, or public activity :)

  • Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?

    Jump

  • Lemmy, piefed, and mbin are all similar pieces of software that run on a server.

    They are each capable of hosting a small social network website with a similar reddit-like format. They all also support the activitypub standard, which means that they can be linked together, so that when you go to one of those social media sites (lemmy.world for example) you can see any other site that they're "federated" with, even if that social media site is powered by a different software that supports activitypub (I'm on lemmy.world but I can see communities and posts from piefed.social)

    I generally call lemmy, mbin and piefed "fediverse platforms" because they're each a platform that you can make a fediverse account on, but that usage is a bit imperfect, since each individual site could also be described as a platform, and is where your account is actually hosted. You could be more specific and call them "fediverse/federated link aggregators" if you wanted to specifically refer to the ones with a similar format to reddit.

    These pieces of software are different because they're built in different ways (different languages and underlying structure), have different priorities, and as software projects are run in different ways with different leadership, all of which is how you get differences in features and implementation. Lemmy is the oldest of these similar platforms, and as such is the most established. In the open source world it's very easy and common to end up with a lot of fragmented similar projects. Its both a blessing and a curse.

    There isn't perfect language for all these things because in the grand scheme of things, it's a rather new way for social media platforms to work, so the language around how to describe or refer to these things hasn't really "settled"

  • PieFed has a mobile app

    Jump

  • It can federate with lemmy, essentially just being another type of node in the same web of individual websites.

    Some of those sites are hosted with lemmy, some are hosted with piefed, some are hosted with mbin.

    Each of those (lemmy, piefed, mbin) is a piece of software that can run as a "server" for a social media site, and can use the activitypub protocol to talk to other sites that are federated together making the contents of other sites visible. They can federate regardless of whether the software powering the site is the same or not.

    Thats why every other day I muder them all with an anti-paracitic cream

  • Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass.

    Jump

  • At some point I will but I'm not currently ready to make that transition. My friend and I are using Duolingo together and the social aspect plus the familiarity of the structure have been really helpful

    They walked back the ai thing (at least that's my understanding about it, I think there was a statement about it, not that that means much) but it's very clear it wont be something that's likely to work for me long term

    But for the time being the structure that it provides and its format has helped me build a routine and actually stay pretty consistent, and I don't think I'm at a place yet where I can transition away from it

    But I have checked out the Foss options and there were some neat supplemental tools on f-droid, and at some point I'll go through the play store and try out direct alternatives

  • This seems like it'll break things like revanced, which honestly makes me sad mostly for Duolingo :(

    Really hope folks find a way of spoofing this too. I'm hoping to switch to a custom ROM in the future and this doesn't bode super well

  • Any chance we could get a normal link too? My client doesn't like the Lemmyverse redirect link

  • Cross-platform video player GrayJay now available as Flatpak

    Jump

  • AYYYY, LETS FUKING GOOO

    I'll have to try this again for my little media center setup. If I can sync with desktop I'll be much happier to use it on mobile

    Still struggling to ween myself off youtube recommendations though 😅 thats the biggest thing missing for me, it's soooo much harder to discover stuff or find things I want to watch with grayjay or newpipe, and if I just jam a million things in my subscriptions I'll just end up with lots of things I'm not interested in watching at any given point in time

    I should probably add more stuff and just add them to more subscription groups which can kinda help with that. If anyone has recommendations I'd welcome them :)

  • GNU Taler (a swiss FLOSS alternative to Visa, Mastercard and Paypal) begins operating in Switzerland as Version 1.0 releases

  • I believe this is what the post looks like when it's a cross post using the crosspost functionality (like using the crosspost button if your client has one)

    For me your post shows up as one of the places this was also posted which tells me this was cross posted from one of the many times this has been crossposted across various comms, including your original post

    I really wish the UI was more unambiguous about something being a crosspost (its really unclear on all I've used, but some at least let you find out if you go looking and try to check), which is why I always add some text to say "this is a crosspost" and sometimes the original location I got it from when I crosspost stuff

  • From the text of their original post it sounds like you're still allowed to say that. It's worth reading the post text itself (not saying that to change your stance, I have complicated feelings about this choice by them, but knowing what they're actually saying is worthwhile)
