I’m really enjoying Otterwiki. Everything is saved as markdown, attachments are next to the markdown files in a folder, and version control is integrated with a git repo. Everything lives in a directory and the application runs from a docker container.

It’s the perfect amount of simplicity and is really just a UI on top of fully portable standard tech.

Same experience in Argentina and Paraguay

I think it’s a bit silly to have megathreads just because some users can’t scroll past posts that doesnt interest them.

The problem is there are so goddamn many, to the extent that I’m working on a userscript that lets me entire hide posts that contain keywords. Checking my frontpage using Subscribed/Active, 5 of the first 20 posts are about this “news”. And that’s a full day after it happened, yesterday was far worse

Edit: The userscript is ready!

They keep updating the list every week even if you’re not listening. Also I’ve used their service for years so they have me pretty well figured out.

Unfortunately no, but any client that supports the subsonic api will work

Navidrome natively supports scrobbling. I also scrobble from Clementine on my desktop.

I’m downloading individual tracks much more than I’m downloading entire albums.

Anyone remember Firesheep?

Yes, that’s my point.

Just because it’s not using your personal preference of containerization doesn’t qualify it as being “hacked together”. Docker is a perfectly acceptable solution for what Lemmy is.

I currently have it marking read on comment view, which is the default behavior of the current interface, however it shouldn’t be a problem to add that option

Edit: I actually quite like the name Loop 🤔

@misnina@crystals.rest? She’s good people

Edit: Oh I assume you’re referring to the anime character in the post?

There are people who are right now pushing back against the rise of hate in it.

To what end? What do they really hope to accomplish?

It’s owned by a bigot who is making both social and corporate changes to explicitly signal to and allow other bigots to take over the platform. They’re pulling back on moderation and firing all of the people who prevented it from becoming even more of a cesspool. What chance to a bunch of people tweeting about how things should change have against the person who literally runs the platform and his toxic fanatic horde?

I understand that a lot of people have spent a lot of time on there and so it may feel hard to let go, but at this point it’s it’s beyond a lost cause and any further effort is just a sunk cost fallacy. You have to know when to realize that everything around you is on fire and that bucket of water you’re holding isn’t going to make any difference.

This is why decentralized and federated platforms like Mastodon and Lemmy are the only real answer. Otherwise you’re just swimming in someone else’s pool and hoping they don’t shit in it.

Exactly, though I’d like to get a PR in to not show that on the admin screen, or in the very least to make the list collapsed by default. I think I’ll work on that today.

Edge is also Chromium now, so this is technically correct lol. There are literally three browsers in existence right now: Firefox, Safari, and then the 100 faces of Chromium

I pay $5 a month to host my own instance of SearXNG on a 1GB Linode server. I am in full control of the server and the source code running it since it’s completely open software. I don’t have to trust that Kagi is being honest and fear that one day it comes out that they did something stupid like leak my billing address or sell my data through some convoluted legalese change to their terms of service.

Additionally I get access to search results from Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, and any other provider I want, all without having anything about me or my activity tied to some kind of centralized identity/payment.

It’s built on Blink, which is Google’s rendering engine. Trident, the rendering engine Microsoft created died when they gave up on Edge.

They’re unlikely to do that as keeping Chromium source available helps them to ward off antitrust legislation. They can hold it up and say “See, look at all these competitors!” when in reality they’re all just Googles agenda in different skins. Meanwhile they get to continue dictating the web standards to cater to their profit motives by maintaining dominance over the rendering engine space.

If you care about a free and open web, Firefox is the only morally correct choice. Anything else is just capitulating to Googles dominance over the ecosystem.

I wonder if it would’ve been possible for them to use Firefox’s Gecko engine instead, but I don’t know how feasible that idea is.

Considering that Firefox is actually FOSS unlike Chromium, there’s absolutely no reason they couldn’t have done this. They likely made this choice because it was the easiest, as everyone else is already using Chromium so there’s plenty of existing reference material.

If you want a search engine that you can actually control and maintain privacy, while also still having access to DDG, Google, and Bing search results, check out SearXNG.

I host my own instance on a $5/month Linode, so in effect I’m paying $5/month to have completely private search without any influence from corporate overlords.

Those are bans where the user has been banned from their home instance. It actually doesn’t make a lot of sense that they show up in our admin panels since a user banned from their home instance won’t be able to authenticate and access remote instances with that account.

They’re the reason for Trump being elected

Trump was elected because the Electoral College voted for him. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, AKA the one you participated in. The American populace don’t decide the president. Your vote is not you deciding who wins, it’s you expressing your opinion in the hopes that the electors your state party officials hand picked will actually listen to the interests of their constituents.
