  • NewPipe is now available on Flathub

    Jump

  • It allows Linux developers to package their app once and it will install across more than 40+ Linux distros without any additional effort: https://flathub.org/setup

  • Jellyfin 10.10.0 media server released

    Jump

  • when did you last try it and what clients? I've got friends/family accessing my library and I see them playing back stuff constantly and never seen or heard of any issues. This is across web, AndroidTV, Chromecast, Roku and mobile devices.

  • Bitwarden update: sdk-internal now GPL, sdk/sdk-secrets to remain proprietary but not used in clients

    Jump

  • Check out Proton Pass. I migrated my Bitwarden to it and its not just fast compared to Bitwarden but the UX is really nice. That said, I'm still sticking with Bitwarden, but will happily move away and give my money to Proton if they ever actually stop making their client open source.

  • tension on kernel mailing lists continues to grow as a Linux Foundation board member finally replies with a "summary of the legal advice the kernel is operating under" re: enforcing US sanctions

    Jump

  • Linus Torvalds has been sold out to big tech companies like Google and Microsoft. He himself is a billionaire and no longer writes any code.

    I can't take that seriously

  • Bitwarden Desktop version 2024.10.0 is no longer free software

    Jump

  • Proton pass client doesn't currently use a proprietary SDK, but they also haven't made the same blunder as Bitwarden, which they've since fixed, but still not a good look.

    On another note - I did export/import all my passwords into proton pass and WOW the speed and UX feels so much better. I'm still sticking with Bitwarden as they've been really good so far, but there's a real good alternative should they ever "turn evil".

  • #Firefox doesn't need any new features to be more attractive for users, it just needs to make CSS theming more accessible

    Jump

  • Same here. I have to trust/use an extension and third party desktop application (Progressive Web Apps for Firefox) to get this feature to work and not have to rely on Chrome/Edge/etc.

    I can easily see less patient or understanding users dropping Firefox if they find out it doesn't work with Progressive Web Apps.

  • Looks like I might be moving to Proton Pass after all! I'll give them some time to see what they do about this, but will happily give my money to someone else and migrate friends/family as well.

  • Hey Lemmings, whats some gibberish that we can say to throw off Machine Learning?

    Jump

  • Here's what Google's Gemini had to say about it when I asked:

    🗣

    What does this say?

    VVu7 d0 y00 4ll th1nk 4b0ut 1337$p34k? 1 h4v3nt 8u$t3d 1t 0ut 51nc3 m1ddl3 5ch00l, 8ut m4y83 th3r3’5 p0t3nti4l #3r3.

    🤖

    This is written in l33tsp34k (leetspeak), an internet language that replaces letters with similar-looking numbers and symbols.

    Here's what it says when translated:

    "What do you all think about leetspeak? I haven't busted it out since middle school, but maybe there's potential here."

  • Why is online privacy so important?

    Jump

  • Personally I think its great to have online discussions/questions available on a forum (like lemmy) that are federated and accessible anonymously as it allows answers or discussions to be created and available for others to search and find in the future. There's a lot of content that I find where answers or discussions were posted on reddit, but I can't access it if I'm trying to reach it anonymously (bad for privacy).

    I would encourage these kind of posts as:

    1. They generate content for lemmy/the fediverse.
    2. The new content brings in more people, perspectives, and collaborations.
    3. People seeing active discussions on this site will inspire others to post more and help bring in other perspectives.
    4. Understanding the "Ten thousand" XKCD (xkcd.com) perspective lets you realize that people are learning all the time and that trying to get feedback in a forum is not a bad thing regardless of how many other options there are.

  • TIL that 1,300 children are still separated from their parents from the Trump era family separation policy

    Jump

  • It’s actually still happening under Biden.

    Its a bit more nuanced than that. That's like saying "people who wear seat belts still die". Well yes, that's a fact, but intentionally or not, you're making a claim without context and painting a picture in the mind of others that doesn't reflect reality.

    Under the Trump administration’s so-called “zero tolerance” policy, separations were calculated and deliberate.

    The goal of zero tolerance was to criminally prosecute all adult migrants who entered the country illegally. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would detain parents and transfer their children into the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

    “Cruelty was the point of that policy,” Langarica said.

    Biden rescinded the policy in January 2021. Yet, three years later, more than 1,400 families remain separated, according to the latest update from the Family Reunification Task Force.

    The report argues that separations have happened for decades, but under the Biden administration they are a result of bureaucratic processes, lack of transparency and accountability — not purposeful cruelty.

  • What's your favourite free Android app?

    Jump
    • Signal signal.org↗ - Free, open source, completely end-to-end encrypted messaging that lead by a non-profit.
    • Shelter f-droid.org↗ - Use Android's built-in "Work Profile" feature to install or clone apps into an isolated space.
    • Simplex f-droid.org↗ - Like Signal but for the more paranoid. Not as good from a UX perspective so I can't recommend it to everyone, but definitely just as good if privacy/security is your ultimate requirement.

  • Is there any good, free search engine left?

    Jump

  • Posted this previously:

    yes. use any of the following, in no particular order:

    • ecosia.org - A non-profit certified B corp that plants trees by serving ads in your search results. Bing search underneath.
    • duckduckgo.com - A privacy friendly search engine. Primarily sourced from Bing but mixes in a few other sources.
    • any SearXNG instance - A self-hostable search front-end to various search engines.
    • marginalia.nu - specifically 'random' - An independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed.

  • Under a toot announcing that firefox now supports CHIPS (Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State)

  • Any sites out there even serving JXL? With a "global usage" of 13%, I don't see many developers wasting their time on it unless there's some niche use case that requires it.

  • What are your favorite shows and why?

    Jump

  • Scrubs! [0] [1] [2].

    It had a great 8 season run (the 9th season doesn't exist, ignore those who incorrectly say it does). The show was funny, insightful, great dialogue, characters, serious moments and a great cast. Additionally the music choices in each episode were always top-notch. Note that "a handful of songs were replaced in the versions released to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu due to licensing issues." [3].

    Lastly, "IGN gave the first season a perfect score of 10. The seven following seasons were rated, respectively, 9, 9, 9, 8, 7.5, 8.3 and 7.5" [4].
