  I see. wouldn’t the default disabled social blocking lists block that too?

  another way is to have libredirect redirect the embeds to nitter. some instances still work

  You need to know what instance your friend is on.

  of course you need. your friends need to tell you. only they can know. just like with email and IRL cities

  it’s quite cheap, per user, to run lemmy, e.g. lemm.ee is one of the bigger instances and costs 200 Euro a month,

  storage requirements will only increase (attachments, linked website images), unless you are regularly deleting content and so contributing to link rot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  but that’s what exactly embeds do. forcing you to interact with the site

  then you can join twitter and reddit as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky says it won’t train AI on your posts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If I didn’t want people to have access to them I wouldn’t be posting on the first place.

  there’s the catch: it’s for people. not robots, not billionaires

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  if it’s an app, it’s not n OS, and does not replace an OS.

  People want to replace the OS to get rid of forced data mining, forced updates, other limitations, and to be able to install other software

  would running nut-monitor in the VMs fit your use case?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screenshots of texts from other social media are pretty boomer-ish⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think a hybrid approach is better, have a screenshot and a link to the source too. with a screenshot of a post on a whatever site I don’t not to figure out which privacy frontend is working right now every single time.

  windows 11 is not only about irreversible breaking changes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  did any of them do the write fast for 5 seconds, then freeze for 10 seconds shit? that’s the worst when a pendrive does that, and I’ve experienced that with multiple drives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin 10.10.0 | Jellyfin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  only if that feature wouldn’t have a massive memory leak… can’t update even to 10.9 because it crashes the whole system the first time it tries to rescan a library.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what do you use for screen sharing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you should be able to turn it up always, to some extent. it’s in the settings on web

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  for example by being aware that the format is harmful to psychological health

  possibly, but couldn’t that be said about instagram and tiktok too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  tbh I don’t think any of the 2 sides here could know that their opinion is the truth. we can’t say that it’s intentional, but can’t either that it’s just a honest mistake, so far everyone saying that just sounds to apply wishful thinking. let’s see what happens in a few years, and then we may be able to judge future incidents better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bitwarden Makes Change To Address Recent Open-Source Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  except that the case of winamp and bitwarden couldn’t be more different.

  you know, half an hour is really not that much. I would easily choose that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some docker containers need manual start after host reboot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have recently discovered what was causing this to me for years. It was IP specific port bindings. Ports of a few containers were only bound for the LAN IP of the system, but if DHCP couldn’t obtain an IP until the Docker service started its startup, then those containers couldn’t be started at all, and Docker in it’s wisdom won’t bother with retrying.

  The reasons to move my compose stacks to separate systemd services are counting.

  3rd party sync of the database can have a lot of problems

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The community’s reaction is a but funny if this was a honest mistake

  why the fuck would you need VoLTE to the emergency services? is the high quality audio really oh so important or what?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia’s 3G Shutdown - Telcos to Block Working 4G/5G Phones!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it seems they are not checking on your phone anything. so custom roms would neither fix or break their presumed compatibility

  obviously not. what we are discussing is optional and voluntary, because it is removable
