If I see an sbcglobal, aol, hotmail, or yahoo, I will assume tech illiteracy

You should try out LibreX. Built in torrent search engine. Works similarly to SearX.

Firefox is basically the only non-WebKit/Blink browser out there.

My major complaint is that Android Auto is a proprietary standard that doesn't have an official open source implementation.

Just Google trying to do more vendor lock-in along with Apple.

Remote mounting of storage and being able to run games directly from the remote server would save a lot on local storage space.

So... don't respond until you check

So is Jerboa on Android. These apps are quite new and need some time to evolve.

You can also put Lemmy on your homescreen as a PWA.

Lol imagine blacklisting file names

You can symlink in Windows as well. It's called a "junction"

I'd imagine if/when the fediverse becomes popular, search engines will account for this.

Well, it could be bought, in the sense that the name and repo could have their ownership transferred, but that just means someone is gonna fork it.

Kind of like when Oracle bought OpenOffice, everyone moved to the fork, LibreOffice.

According to the Infinity dev, it will continue to work until the subscription update gets released.

WebKit is not inherently bad. The thing that makes it not great in my opinion actually has nothing to do with the tech in this instance, but instead has to do with monopolistic practices from both Apple (who directly uses and develops WebKit) and Google (who forked WebKit into Blink).

Using Gecko browsers (Firefox and co.) en masse tells website operators that they should develop for that other option and officially support it.

"Team member" implies equality. I prefer the term "employee"

I'n not a huge fan of CT+ compared to vanilla. The writing for the new content just doesn't hold a candle to vanilla IMO.

Vanced has been dead for a while. ReVanced is the replacement.

Yeah. Native Alpha is open source.

Peertube also uses ActivityPub, so theoretically, you can follow channels in Lemmy or Lemmy posts in PeerTube. Same with Mastodon. Not sure exactly how that works, though.

Kind of like how KBin also uses ActivityPub, so Lemmy users can use KBin magazines as if they were Lemmy communities.

What part of 98SE made you feel like it was that much different from 95, outside of being slightly less buggy?

Just keep in mind that it uses your system's WebView. If you're not rooted/don't have a custom ROM, that's likely going to be Google's proprietary version of Chrome.

I use DivestOS, which comes with Mulch WebView.

I think this would have to start off as some kind of defined standard in ActivityPub before it could be implemented across all ActivityPub services and be interoperable.

Otherwise, it will result in fragmentation.

But yeah, having one ActivityPub account for many services is ideal IMO, along with being able to follow any content on your platform of choice (like interacting with Peertube or Mastodon postings in Lemmy, or even something rediculous like interacting with Lemmy posts in PeerTube)

Slide was my favorite Reddit client. I'm glad it's being resurrected to serve a greater purpose!

Hermit isn't open source. This makes the code not publicly auditable, which means that verification of security by a third party is impossible.

NixOS is a fully declarative and reproducable system.

What this means is that you can create a single configuration.nix, which includes all of your applications, settings, aliases, environment variables, user account + groups, etc., and copy that over to another NixOS machine (including different architectures) and run nixos-rebuild boot to completely reproduce the system on that other machine.

The nix package manager is also really good at telling you if the configuration will break anything, where, and how, and refuses to apply until the issue is fixed.

Also every time you use nixos-rebuild, it creates a new generation of your NixOS install meaning if something ends up breaking, you can reboot into the old system.

So for example, I can theoretically have the exact same configuration across my desktop, laptop, phone, server, etc., minus the automatically generated hardware-configuration.nix, which is specific to the hardware.

Also Nix supports package overlays, which means that you can modify an existing package while the maintainer still keeps it up to date.

This is what I like to call "building hype," or at least an attempt at it.

I love the idea of IPFS, but every time I've tried to use it, it has always been very slow.

/r/iPhone is posting pics of Tim Cook

On the point of 2, it could be made optional, so that the user could choose.

It should always be assumed that once something is posted online, it is there forever.

The latter

It would be an optional feature.

I like to think he'd be promoting the Fediverse. Closer to the ideal of free speech than a centralized service.

Is the OSK inside of the GZDoom engine, or do you mean the Steam OSK? With the Steam OSK, I cannot type.

I've tried using a mouse to select the new save option, and no OSK shows.

EDIT: Figured it out. Thanks.

Infinite scrolling not being default makes sense IMO. It's a highly addictive feature, and a bit part of these open source, federated communities is they try to avoid the addictiveness that big tech platforms try to enforce onto their users if possible.

Sometimes the feature is highly liked by people, so they add it as a non-default option.
