It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it's much more diverse.

Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it's on the roadmap.

And a tweet becomes an "X-cretion"

“You should tweet that” becomes “you should X that”

"You should X-create" that

GTK is in bare C, which is rather easy to interop with Rust. Even if using GLib from Rust is a pain, GTK can and does have decent Rust bindings.

QT on the other hand is C++ with object oriented stuff, and therefore cannot have easy bindings to Rust.

And it's not just r/askreddit all subreddits I tried show a similar drop, including the ones that still seem relatively active.

It's not technical and more political.

Google is a surveillance company with a huge impact on web standards thanks to its insane market share. Apple on its side uses its forced monopoly to prevent websites from competing with its app store. Gecko depends on Mozilla that depends on google for 90% of its revenue, and is today a good "look we're not a monopoly" excuse for google.

I don't think people want a new engine because the current ones don't work. They want a new engine because they want the web to be truly open.

• .edu Education (MURICA)

.edu is not only american. For example I know many schools in France have .edu domains and emails, and I believe it's the case in many more countries.

I have not yet find evidence that Ubisoft will delete accounts with owned games and they claim they won't so...

Framasoft is already working on a peertube mobile app!

https://joinpeertube.org/news/peertube-future-2024

Even just some text informing the user “You can’t see this content on lemmy.world. Please go to the instance directly"

That would have to be supported by Lemmy, which I believe is currently not the case.

I know that on mastodon you can tag the Lemmy community to send your post to it.

Maybe there is something similar to tagging in Pixelfed that would have the same behavior.

For youtube there is peertube. A big instance it TilVids. It integrates very well with Mastodon!

It supports videos and live streaming, and uses webtorrent (bittorrent over webrtc) to reduce the bandwidth costs of the server.

What the hell!

How did I understand that just now?

I think they ignored standard testing, but this was never made mandatory

Is there any plan to have something similar to the Gnome Circle apps for Cosmic? It'd be nice to encourage building a full ecosystem of app with libcosmic that can rival the apps of KDE/Gnome.

The issue is mostly not about paying for the info, but rather about how to obtain said info without collecting location data of all users in an intrusive way like Google does.

But google are the ones that implemented it first and pushed to have it added to the spec

I know people who have used the TER everyday for commute. There are also people using it every weekend to see family.

I would certainly enjoy it to be able to go bicycling on weekends too.

Fritter works by scraping the twitter website, so it should be working. The only issue is however that the website changed a lot so I guess the scraping strategies don't work as well now.

Itch and GOG have decent linux support

The 700MB are the postgres data or everything including the images?

I'm under the impression that text should be very cheap to store inside postgres.

Yes but it's a bit of a mess to interact with lemmy from a Mastodon account though.

Their campaign clip explicitly said that they were against « LGBT activism ».

Not even trying to hide behind excuses. They explicitly think that LGBT rights should be fought against.

Not even Cyberpunk or the Witcher could sell more on gog than on steam even though you knew that there the developers got 100% of the money spent.

Most gamers don't know and/or don't care, so they will take the least resistance path, which is Steam.

Steam has a "most favoured nation clause" which prevents companies from actually selling for cheaper on other platform. This is how steam maintains its monopoly. If it were possible for CD Projekt Red to sell it cheaper outside of steam it would force steam to actually charge developers less.

Edit: see below, it's actually not that clear.

They don't have a client but both allow you to just download the game and run it from a .sh that installs it in the local folder. That's enough for me but I agree it may not be for everyone.

Simply the fact that they harbor known harassers like LibsOfTikTok would be enough to de-federate pretty much any other fediverse instance. Why would their moderation have a free pass just because they're big?

I did not know that. That's not cool

There needs to be a massive resignation of reddit moderators.

If reddit refuses to hear the mod's voice, why would anyone give them their labour for free?

Let the power-tripping mods stay, and let the sane mods come to other platforms. Let the site go to shit or make Reddit spend millions investing in its own moderation team.

This is not relevant to this specific post but does anyone know how if the static linking used in Rust is an issue with cosmic?

The last time I tried building a small app with Iced it was pretty bing (20MB) even though it didn't do much. On the other hand a GTK app in rust easily fits within 5MB.

Anyway I'm thrilled to try cosmic out as soon as it reached the Arch repos.

I think it's especially about Rust in the Linux kernel. There was a lot of fuss as the "foundation" for writing Rust drivers was merged, but since then there has been cvery few news about it going forward and being used to develop new drivers.

The language itself is obviously still going very strong.

I know that Asahi Linux uses Rust for its graphics driver but I don't think it has been upstream yet.

You might have disabled NSFW. But I don't want to fully disable it as there are some NSFW posts that may not be porn which may be worth seeing.

Yeah, the greens had a risk of not getting 5% so it was much more worthwhile to vote for them.

Any of them also supports WebTorrent?

Dead cells.

I discovered it when it was mentioned in a book by Cory Doctorow. It's an absolutely fantastic rogue-like game.

Text is very light and compresses very well. While instances may risk having scaling issues with photo and video, text should be very easy to archive forever.

It could also be a very good explanation. Too bad that this site doesn't document its methodology and that reddit will never confirm such numbers.

However I am still certain that quality has dropped overall on most subreddits. An acceleration of what started a while ago.

I think NSFW content is fully hidden by default, but then it depends on your app/account config.

I don't want to fully block it because some NSFW is not porn and is worth seeing.
