  I agree, but I’m glad they did it anyway.

  That’s unfortunate to hear, I haven’t really used loops at all but I hope they can figure it out to a point of adequacy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PeerTube just reached its final goal for the mobile app fundraiser - 75k € - with a few hours to spare!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, if it wants to actually compete with YouTube it would have to have monetization. I’ve talked about that on Lemmy before, I agree.

  But at least with a good algorithm it could be like old youtube where folks can speak to the world and share things in video format

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PeerTube just reached its final goal for the mobile app fundraiser - 75k € - with a few hours to spare!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I also feel like the algorithm is kinda brutal. Even if there’s good stuff I’m not sure I’d ever really find it

  Just wanna stop and say open source is cool, neat to see what instances have what interfaces :)

  Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don’t even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.

  I’ll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.

  I’ll have to sit down when I have a moment and see if it’s possible to create an account or if there’s an instance up yet!!

  Oh nice! I’ve been thinking about migrating for a while but that’s one of the big things I needed to figure out

  Though I was kinda thinking about switching over to .ee, which, maybe not the call anymore lol 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, no worries. Hope you have a lovely day!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By the way, it’s ActivityPub, like activity publication, or public activity :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy, piefed, and mbin are all similar pieces of software that run on a server.

  They are each capable of hosting a small social network with a similar reddit-like format. They all also support the activity pub standard, which means that they can be linked together, so that when you go to one of those social media sites (lemmy.world for example) you can see any other site that they’re “federated” with, even if that social media site is powered by a different software that supports activitypub (I’m on lemmy.world but I can see communities and posts from piefed.social)

  I generally call lemmy, mbin and piefed “fediverse platforms” because they’re each a platform that you can make a fediverse account on, but that usage is a bit imperfect, since each individual site could also be described as a platform, and is where your account is actually hosted. You could be more specific and call them “fediverse/federated link aggregators” if you wanted to specifically refer to the ones with a similar format to reddit.

  They’re different because different pieces of software are built in different ways (different languages and underlying structure), have different priorities, and as software projects are run in different ways with different leadership, all of which is how you get differences in features and implementation. Lemmy is the oldest of these similar platforms, and as such is the most established. In the open source world it’s very easy and common to end up with a lot of fragmented similar projects. Its both a blessing and a curse.

  There isn’t perfect language for all these things because in the grand scheme of things, it’s a rather new way for social media platforms to work, so the language around how to describe or refer to these things hasn’t really “settled”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It can federate with lemmy, essentially just being another type of node in the same web of individual websites.

  Some of those sites are hosted with lemmy, some are hosted with piefed, some are hosted with mbin.

  Each of those (lemmy, piefed, mbin) is a piece of software that can run as a “server” for a social media site, and can use the activitypub protocol to talk to other sites that are federated together making the contents of other sites visible. They can federate regardless of whether the software powering the site is the same or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point I will but I’m not currently ready to make that transition. My friend and I are using Duolingo together and the social aspect plus the familiarity of the structure have been really helpful

  They walked back the ai thing (at least that’s my understanding about it, I think there was a statement about it, not that that means much) but it’s very clear it wont be something that’s likely to work for me long term

  But for the time being the structure that it provides and its format has helped me build a routine and actually stay pretty consistent, and I don’t think I’m at a place yet where I can transition away from it

  But I have checked out the Foss options and there were some neat supplemental tools on f-droid, and at some point I’ll go through the play store and try out direct alternatives

  This seems like it’ll break things like revanced, which honestly makes me sad mostly for Duolingo :(

  Really hope folks find a way of spoofing this too. I’m hoping to switch to a custom ROM in the future and this doesn’t bode super well

  Any chance we could get a normal link too? My client doesn’t like the Lemmyverse redirect link

  I think the feeling weird might just be that the depth of field is narrow and keeps changing. It creates a really strange look. No idea I’d thats a common thing in AI video but it seems like it could just be a quirk of how they chose to film…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From the text of their original post it sounds like you’re still allowed to say that. It’s worth reading the post text itself (not saying that to change your stance, I have complicated feelings about this choice by them, but knowing what they’re actually saying is worthwhile)
