Time to learn some c++, it’s a good cause to help with

Us FF buddies got each other’s backs, don’t worry

Jerboa believers w again

Ooohhh that’s new to me, definitely a cool possibility. One more app to host on my wishlist

Some fetishes are best kept hidden.

Do our upvotes and comments function as “likes” and comments on the peertube instance? I just started following The Linux Experiment and it’d be nice to comment from here.

It’d be really nice if a peertube instance was easier to setup individually and had built-in donation support. Some non-mainstream folks would probably appreciate the option for a more cozy and intimate platform they could set up as they please.

Firefox sync is really neat as well, though. I like not needing to configure Firefox for each system I use when I can have everything sync’ed. I know Mozilla ain’t the greatest but they’re fine enough for my daily usage.

If I need full privacy I can go Librewolf or Tor browser.

I’ve been using it for years and can’t live without it anymore. It’s too goddamn useful.

DeArrowing is the thing I didn’t know I needed. Thanks!

That really synthetises why I dislike microblogging so much: It’s a bunch of people throwing small-talk and rage bait everywhere, all the time.

Considering a lot of people are really bad at conservation in every possible way, it also makes sense why microblogging is so much more popular than forum-like platforms.

To be honest, having good frontends for accessing the fediverse on mobile devices isn’t really a waste of time, as it helps introducing the fediverse to more people. It’s also more convenient for some users, I prefer to access Lemmy through Jerboa for example.

But there are always possibilities to increase compatibility and ease of use between the diverse ActivityPub platforms, there could be something like “templating interfaces” for different content formats, for example. I think it’s mostly a matter of time and adoption, the more users something has, the more developers we can have, who’ll be interested in making things more accessible and frictionless.

I’ll still try it with Jerboa, but it worked really well through the default UI (accessing your instance directly through the browser, as in feddit.nl/c/techlore@neat.tube for example)

Damn, that’s neat! Gonna follow Nick’s channel (the linux experiment) from here.

edit: Okay, that worked really well. It shows on Lemmy as !thelinuxexperiment_channel@tilvids.com

First, Elon wanted to get touchy and hit on Zuck

Now, he wants to see his dick duck

Idk, I think love’s in the air.

WE CAN’T LET THEM PROCREATE

For me, it depends heavily on how they do it.

• Will it be FOSS?
• Will of adhere to the ActivePub standard and play nice in not trying to push it around to suit their needs alone?
• Will it be honest about how much and which data they collect, and give users control on how much they want to share?
• Are they good about not forcing their users on an unknowable algorithm?

There’s too many factors to decide on a whim. Not all companies are wholly evil like Meta, Microsoft and Elon’s enterprises, but they’re all for-profit, and we must always be wary. I’m willing to give Tumblr’s owner the benefit of the doubt for now.

Fully agreed. That’s why I said “at most” because that’s the worst I’d tolerate, but I still think upvoting is already enough.

I pass. Gamifying social interactions leads to abuse and lowers the quality of posts, comments, reports, etc. It’s a streamlined path to enshittification.

Only user-provided 🏅🐭 awards here, at most.

Now that I’ve looked it up, apparently you do need to install one. I’ve looked up the settings menu where there’s one virtual keyboard already installed for me, but couldn’t find any toggle for it.

Searching for “virtual keyboard” on the Discover store yielded me some results. I’d try it here if my laptop had touch screen, but it doesn’t. You could try “CoreKeyboard” or “Virtual Keyboard Toggle”.
