  • The problem with GIMP

    Jump

  • I remember "gimpshop" being a thing at one point

    Well it might be a different project entirely, but PhotoGIMP is still a thing.

  • Private way to use Google Maps on iOS

    Jump

  • Perso j'utilise Apple Maps pour trouver des points d'intérêt (restos, essence, etc) autour de moi et ça marche très bien ¯(ツ)/¯

    Ce n'est pas important que peu de gens l'utilise tant que la base de données d'Apple est à jour. Ce n'est pas comme si tu l'utilisais pour de l'info-trafic.

  • How do you guys feel about Session?

    Jump

  • I really do wonder why more people aren't using Delta Chat.

    Me included.

    Anyway. I remember using Session for a few months a couple of years ago. Something about the interface was bugging me. It felt sluggish.

  • I respect people who don't like snaps, but Canonical will not abandon a successful project

    Jump

  • I removed it and it was a pain.

  • YouTube could roll out ads while videos are paused after “strong traction” in experiment - Dexerto

    Jump

  • YouTube's pricing is a mess. Here's a quick breakdown of their offer here in France :

    • YouTube Premium (so video + music): 12€/m
    • YouTube Music Premium (music only, obviously): 10€/m

    One would assume based on this that Google values YouTube at only 2€/m per user. But anyway, let's take a look at their family plans for a laugh:

    • YouTube Premium (6 users): 18€/m
    • YouTube Music Premium (6 users still): 15€/m

    Let's put aside the price discrepancy. 18/6 = 3€/m per user. All signs point to Google being ok with making between 2 and 3€ per user per month, yet such an offer doesn't exist. Hell, make it 4€, even. People would flock to it. But no, they're just being greedy.

  • Sideload uYou+ or set up Yattee. If you don't know how to do any of those things, look into DNS based ad-filtering like ControlD and install Video Lite. Or skip the DNS part and only install Video Lite, but you'll see in-app ads unless you pay the $12/y subscription.

  • NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden

    Jump

  • Obviously not.

    If you're saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I'm sorry but I wouldn't know. Not because I didn't try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.

    Edit: cointelegraph, not "cointelegram."

  • Because it isn't secure at all?

  • ICYMI: This RES-like script allows you to navigate Lemmy with just your keyboard

    Jump

  • Oh, indeed! I missed the fact there was a second script. So there's one for Mlmym and another for "regular" Lemmy instances. My bad.

    (It's still got the @match https://*/* that I dislike, though.)

  • ICYMI: This RES-like script allows you to navigate Lemmy with just your keyboard

    Jump

  • Because it only works via the Mlmym frontend, supposedly. Give it a go: https://o.opnxng.com/lemmy.nicknakin.com/

    I haven't tested it myself. I hate scripts with dodgy website checks. The author should have hardcoded the known Mlmym instances instead. (or maybe that's just a "me" problem.)

    inb4 but this way the script needs less maintenance

    If the Mlmym dev renames the "spacer" or "icon" classes for any reason or if he changes Mlmym's HTML structure, this script would stop working immediately.

    And anyway, running a check on every page your browser visits to determine if it is a Mlmym instance or not is simply inefficient and, I'd argue, bad practice, security-wise.

  • Lemmy webm image links showing as downloadable files (iOS 16.6.1)

    Jump

  • I'm guessing Lemmy is now converting GIFs to WEBMs to save space, then.

    Trouble is, I just tried it on my end and yeah, Safari won't open it. VLC can, however. I guess it means Lemmy apps will need to add a webm library now.

    Edit: just saw your edit. I'm mentioning Safari because clearly Voyager was trying to open the webm using the in-app browser and not natively. Meaning Voyager doesn't know how to deal with this format.

  • Lemmy webm image links showing as downloadable files (iOS 16.6.1)

    Jump

  • webm image

    Those aren't images but videos. "webp" is an image format. Nowadays webms should be supported by Safari, though. Do you have a link so people can check what's going on?
