  • Dudes will date a girl for 6+ years and have something like this as her contact photo

    Jump

  • I know this is a stereotype, and doesn't apply to all men or women, but I think it's important. I think the woman thinks "if I'm important to you, you should represent me at my best", which I could maybe see as a form of respect or something.

    But the dude is like "I don't love you for your best, I love you at your silliest. This is a photo of you no one else has, and gives me the feeling of when we're together. Anyone can use your LinkedIn headshot or some photo from Instagram of you posing over some drinks."

    I'm not sure stereotypical women have noticed their guys while setting up an Instagram photo, but they're not cherishing those moments 😛

  • Jellyfin critical security update - This is not a joke

    Jump

  • I know you're gatekeeping from Turd Mountain, but just for completeness, the reason I use Jellyfin besides the "pretty for my wife" reason is that it keeps track of her progress between clients. She sometimes watches things on her laptop, sometimes her phone, sometimes her tablet, and sometimes the TV, and no matter which one she uses it'll remember which episode of her show is the next episode. It also highlights when a new episode of something has been added and cues her to watch the new episode that just came out.

    But yeah, if I was alone and only had a pile of anime I'd already seen before, which I only watched from my Linux devices, Samba and VLC would do me fine 😛

  • What’s the Facebook clone in the fediverse?

    Jump

  • I know this is a little off-topic, but I felt like this was a comically extreme example of the "fun" of the Fediverse, to have come up organically here in the Fediverse community.

    "Hey, is there something like Facebook?"

    "No, we're not like that here. I've got some interesting information about that on my own website"

    "That link doesn't work"

    "Oh that's right, we totally broke it and I forgot, and gave you a broken link to my own instance. Anyway, in liue of working links, here's some text you can use to fish around on my website with instead"

    😛

    Nothing in this world is forever, and I hate Facebook, but I bet there's Facebook links that people have to some special post or photo from their life from 16 years ago, and we got a broken link live from a site that might be gone in 2 years. 😉

  • I wonder what they think the word "vow" means... 🤔

    Jump

  • OIDC is innately centralized

    Huh, that's not my understanding. I was there when it first came out, and the whole point was to allow you to use any URI of your choice as an authenticator. Let's see what the first line of Wikipedia has to say:

    OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol

    Huh. 🤔

  • Is private age verification technically possible and if so how?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if this is part of the "setting aside" stuff, but I'd ask why age needs to be verified and not simply stated.

    I'm the admin on this device, I say I'm 50, why does the website need to check some ID to prove I'm 50? They trust what I reported, and if I lied to them that's on me. It shouldn't be the websites' job to validate.

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Modern choice, only one season so far with another coming of unknown quality, but I liked Murderbot, personally. Sci Fi, dark comedy, with a dash of wholesome. I liked it!

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • 🤔

    Hmmmmmm. It didn't, and when I last looked, and even in hearing people talking during this kerfuffle, it didn't sound like it supported this, but perhaps it does. Which would be nice!

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • Searching for a single Discord alternative may be asking the wrong question however. Discord itself is an extensive bundle of functions smashed together: real-time chat, persistent forums and documentation, voice chats, events and even games.

    I think this is the important part that's missing from a lot of these discussions, including from users themselves looking for a new place to go. Some people use discord as an IRC chatroom replacement. Some use it was a small group text, essentially, between friends or co-workers. Some people use it as a Patreon perk to get access to a community around an artist and interact with that artist and their other fans.

    And I'm in some "servers" of all of those. So anywhere that's using it as IRC can be replaced with XMPP or Matrix no problem. Or IRC, but with gifs. Cool. But my other group that hangs out in there async every day and the occasionally jumps onto an ad-hoc voice chat when people are available to game, or sometimes shares my screen so someone else can watch what I'm doing? None of those things do that. But mumble kinda does, but not in a persistent or integrated way. Mumble is a great way to talk, but an awful place to hang out. Jitsi does screen share, but is not casual and also isn't a good hangout.

    And we could limp by with an XMPP room for chat and then a link to a Jitsi or Mumble or something when it's time to do something. But there's something tight about having the "just call" button right there, tied to the chat you're already in, and in being able to see "huh Alice and Bob are playing GAME right now. I should pop in!"

    But if you've never been in a discord server like that, you make a recommendation of IRC or something, and a gaming friend group user checks it out and is like "this is even close to doing any of the things I need it to..."

  • Statistics for Strava, a self-hosted, open-source dashboard for your Strava data.

    Jump

  • I switched from Strava to OpenTracks, which does all of the recording but none of the social parts, and keeps the data all on device as far as I know. This looks cool! But for me I probably wouldn't have enough use of it to set it up, so I'm not going to ask you to support OpenTracks just for me, but I mention this in case it's exciting for you. If other people use OpenTracks and would benefit from this, they can mention that too I guess!

    But it looks great!

  • Okay, but if you were you'd have to tell us. It's the rules.

  • All money probably went into NVIDIA GPUs

    Jump

  • That's cool man, we're not talking about you. We're talking about Open AI, who pays employees hundreds of thousands of American dollars a year.

    You should be allowed to use it for free. And a donation from a company like them, could make it easier for a person like you to get an awesome cutting edge tool for free!

  • All money probably went into NVIDIA GPUs

    Jump

  • The difference is that a tip is "you're already getting paid to do your job, why would I pay you to do your job?". Whereas this is "you gave me this for free, so maybe if I make a bunch of money I could show appreciation for that gift" or pay-it-forward so the next guy can also get a free start, etc.

    And yes I know they're are busted places on this Earth where basically servers don't already get paid to do their job and are thus reliant on tips as income, but that's a different problem...

    Whichever.

  • Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever

  • Someone could format it into essentially static pages and publish it on IPFS. That would probably be the easiest "decentralized hosting" method that remains browsable

  • Good FOSS design software for beginners?

  • Oh, one other thing I wished I knew earlier: There's all these drawing tools in the sketcher like line and multi line and arc and whatever. And coming from something like Inkscape I thought there was a similar sort of "path" concept, but there really isn't. Every line is just a line on its own, just with constraints from its endpoint to the end of the next line. But you get those automatically when clicking with the line tool too! So early on, if I messed something up, I'd feel the need to delete the whole "path" and draw it right. Dumb. Just delete whatever line you need to delete, draw any other lines with any tool makes sense, and it'll be equivalent. Just do whatever, the system doesn't care and can't tell them apart anyway.

    Obviously if something downstream is depending on the position of that line that might mess up those constraints, but that was more likely to happen when deleting all the lines rather than just the one problematic one I forgot to make as a curve or whatever.
