Sweet, do you have any links on how to set that up? My next goal is to set up my own lemmy.<mydomain> instance up so I can pull various things for my own aggregation. Last I tried, I had errors after the Rust compiling steps, need to try it agian.
- Comment on Microsoft and IBM make MS-DOS 4.00 Open-Source 6 months ago:
I was shocked as I went through the source struggling to find any modules that had C. Craziness.

There are shitty people on YouTube too, why hate on a platform just because shitty people use either one of them? Beats giving money to YouTube, we have to start somewhere to decentralize more.

odysee.com – this one is also worth checking out, Louis Rossmann even posts there.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
What about Biden signing in the new spying bill recently that enhances wiretapping of US citizens?
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
I agree, wish this was the actual goal but it’s going to be hard to pry those rights out of their hands.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
It’s weird seeing comments that outline the actual problem getting downvoted here more than the superfluous comments that do not address the real problem at all. Bizarroworld.
- Comment on Senate passes TikTok ban bill, sending it to Biden, who has already committed to signing it 6 months ago:
Would you rather a hostile foreign entity do it instead, who have vested interest in sewing destructive chaos as a goal, though? That’s the alternative.
- Comment on Eww, Copilot AI might auto-launch with Windows 11 soon 7 months ago:
Try phind.com, it’s got an insanely advanced model trained on a ton of their own proprietary code, and free too (or paid with more features and more prompts per day, etc.)
- Comment on Reddit introduces a new ad format that looks similar to posts made by users | TechCrunch 8 months ago:
I think it comes down to the tens of millions of dollars that the reddit executives sold out to. It’s easy to not care when someone is throwing $100 million at you. Also: fuck spez.
- Comment on Reddit introduces a new ad format that looks similar to posts made by users | TechCrunch 8 months ago:
There’s probably even a ‘sentiment’ tracking system to automatically remove negative comments at this point.

neovim.io github.com/jdhao/nvim-config#features
Highly recommend this.
A modern Neovim configuration with full battery for Python, Lua, C++, Markdown, LaTeX, and more…
This is enough to get the intellisense and linters up and running. Only takes ~5 minutes to configure by installing prerequisites, it’s worth it though.
- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
FF has way too much groundwork laid and way too much mindshare currently (given the rust language and all, the rust discord has 10k+ devs on it alone…) If, for some reason, thousands of devs just gave up on mozilla, more would continue the path and fork it most likely.
- Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it. 10 months ago:
It would be nice to eventually develop an RES-style firefox extension for keyboard navigation and whatnot.
- Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it. 10 months ago:
No I was using reddit since 2009 or so. This is the closest alternative I can find to escape the cesspool that it has become.
- Comment on Lemmy MAUs climbing back up! You love to see it. 10 months ago:
True but it does seem like a good sign of a healthy ecosystem.
- Comment on It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives 10 months ago:
I could see myself implementing that out-of-band via API calls into the app to write my own git repo out of the data. Not sure if joplinapp or any of these apps have APIs, but I would hope so.
- Comment on It's Time to Ditch Evernote for One of These Alternatives 10 months ago:
I mostly ditched them many years ago because of privacy concerns (or lack thereof.) Around when I stopped using Dropbox too (same reason.)
- Comment on The full source code for GTA 5 has been publicly leaked 10 months ago:
Ahh, it’s been so long since I tried any nintendo emu. I just bought a new wireless gamepad, I should really try yuzu soon.
- Comment on The full source code for GTA 5 has been publicly leaked 10 months ago:
I agree generally. Here lately I’ve taken the plunge and compiled everything from source (Linux). While tricky on some, (dependencies mostly), the outcome is unusually stable. More stable than expected.
- Comment on The full source code for GTA 5 has been publicly leaked 10 months ago:
Is that on Dolphin?
- Comment on Feddit.UK has finally kicked the bucket- and what happens next. 10 months ago:
Maybe servers need a contingency plan to be able to communicate with users as to backup options in case one goes down?
- Comment on Google admits it's making YouTube worse for ad block users 11 months ago:
Interesting, it came up in news feeds on other sites. I’ll check more in the future, that’s the first time I’ve had that happen.

- Comment on Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later. 11 months ago:
I agree with your statements, I’m using it because it’s insanely good at me giving it a list of any number of instructions to include in a code template file in any language I want and it will give me a great starting template with most functions working out of the gate and I can tweak and extend from there.
- Comment on Chrome’s next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates 11 months ago:
It will still be compatible, Firefox just doesn’t need to add a limiter, meaning the same extension will run better on Firefox than Chrome in the end. That’s how I see this all unfolding.
- Comment on Chrome’s next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates 11 months ago:
In this specific context we are talking about Manifest V3 artificially limiting the number of rules in an extension. That’s it, it’s artificial, there is no reason for it to exist other than Google purposely degrading the capability. What does Mozilla have to gain by also degrading themselves?
- Comment on Chrome’s next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates 11 months ago:
It would stand to reason that if they were as bad as Chrome, that people would just stick with Chrome and they would miss out on profit entirely, I would think. If monetary incentive is a reason, purposely hamstringing themselves seems counter-intuitive toward that goal.
- Comment on Chrome’s next weapon in the War on Ad Blockers: Slower extension updates 11 months ago:
What do you suppose Firefox’s goal would be in removing features for the end user? Isn’t their purpose to compete with Chrome and be better?
- Comment on Inside the 'arms race' between YouTube and ad blockers / Against all odds, open source hackers keep outfoxing one of the wealthiest companies. 11 months ago:
That was correct, but yt-dlp is disabled on Debian and Ubuntu (apt), so I had to go to the Debian archives and install manually.
