  • Link plex to your last.fm account so it scrobbles and then let LZ auto-import every 30 min from last.fm. Thats the simplest way.

  • Koito is fantastic. I’m so ready to dump Maloja but won’t yet until Koito gets an official stable build. Multi-scrobbler is a lifesaver.

  • Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?

  • Looks interesting but explicitly says it’s “alpha software “ and hasn’t been updated in five years. I’d be weary of using something like this in such a critical situation.

  • Meta has discontinued its metaverse for work, too

  • Crazy that nobody has mentioned Mona. It’s Fantastic and endlessly customizable.

  • Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

    Jump

  • I’ve been on Pixelfed for a long while and never did I ever think “If I follow someone, I want to see their text-only posts.” Why? Because it’s an image sharing platform. It’s specifically designed to show images and that’s fine with me.

    I feel like this article is trying to stir up some controversy where there isn’t any.

  • Making The Internet And Our Devices User Friendly Once Again

  • Thanks for reading and for the feedback!

    My goal with the series is to start small and make it digestible for people to see they can make simple changes that make big results. I 100% agree there's hurdles and more points to make, which is why I decided to write it as a series.

    The goals I have is to show we don't need to be dependent on the apps themselves, alternatives exist (fediverse, RSS, etc), and yes AdBlockers and recognizing dark patterns. To me, it's a slow burn for people to see the way they hate the way things are can be changed, but IMO it has to be presented in pieces that don't feel like a massive overhaul.

  • If anyone is looking for a great wallpaper app that supports a good company, Wallaroo from Icon Factory is absolutely fantastic and supports good devs that have made great software for a long time.

  • Kagi is worth it though. Been paying for 3-months and the ability to search, get info, click through quickly is a breath of fresh air. It's what Google USED to be. Plus it downranks pages with excessive trackers, you can prefer or omit websites from results based on personal preference, and it'll even alert you when websites have paywalled answers. The Kagi free trial is all I needed to be convinced.
