  • Serious question: are there reports of the Fediverse Chick on the Tankie Triad instances? Maybe you didn't get one because she just avoids them entirely?

  • Is Firefox still the recommended browser of choice here?

  • Yes, some parts of the project were integrated into Gecko. But the project itself was abandoned. The original goal was to replace Gecko, not to patch some parts of it.

  • Multiple Lemmy Accounts?

  • First thing you'll learn here: out of the 50K monthly active users, this guy makes up 1K of them.

  • It's basically the same as Reddit karma, it's just the sum of upvotes+downvotes you got

    There's one difference: boosts give you +2 reputation points.

  • Since the 3rd of march 25 Spotify blocked the apk mod version. What are the alternative music player you would recommend?

  • You don't need a private tracker. I use one because I have music needs that public trackers cannot satisfy.

    In fact, I DO NOT recommend a private tracker unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure that public trackers cannot satisfy your needs.

  • But I don't need the entire "carefully curated library"? I only need the music that appeals to me, that is, the music I've already downloaded and seeded. Even if the tracker goes down, at least I'll have access to the files I've stored to my local storage.

    With Spotify, unless you paid for Premium to download the songs, you don't even have that guarantee. If the service/your account is gone, you lose everything.

  • What exactly do you mean by "a single point of failure"? Do you mean that if the tracker goes down, I cannot pirate more music?

    How is that different from Spotify? Does Spotify not have "a single point of failure"? At least with RED, I keep all my FLAC files even if the tracker gets busted.

  • Andrew is not just "any individual". He's one of the lead developers of Ladybird, and the co-founder of the Ladybird 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

  • Mastodon, via jorts.horse. I use it mainly to shitpost, and occasionally catch up on news.

    PeerTube, via spectra.video. It was part of an effort to switch away from YouTube, but due to the abysymal discoverability, I am forced to concur that it hasn't been doing well as a replacement. I now just use Grayjay to see videos, regardless of platforms.

    For now, I use Lemmy via lemmy.cafe. However, when PieFed gets a stable app, I plan to switch over to it, probably via feddit.online.

    Maybe I'll try out Loops when it gains federation support.

  • Servo is an experimental browser engine developed by Mozilla Research using Rust to enhance performance, safety, and parallel processing in modern web rendering. The project showcased features like a concurrent layout system and asynchronous JavaScript execution.

    Around 2017, Mozilla shifted focus to other projects and laid off several developers, leading to the gradual abandonment of Servo. However, a dedicated community later formed the Servo 501(c)(3) nonprofit to continue developing Servo’s technology and ideas.

    Verso is an experimental browser built on top of the Servo browser engine. Currently, both softwares are experimental and pre-alpha developer software at best.

    Also, your comment about Waluigi gave me an idea; I've modified the original prompt with some tweaks..

  • Personally, I just pirate the FLAC files from RED, and play them with VLC. Several advantages to this:

    • Spotify is owned by a shitty, greedy company with shitty, greedy practices.
    • Spotify enforces DRM on almost all its media.
    • FLAC files have superior quality as they are lossless
    • I can play them offline without a subscription
    • Downloads are pretty much instant, as private trackers have insane seeder to leecher ratio

    I'm sorry if this isn't the response you're looking for, but as other people have already given recommendations for alternatives, I thought I would just give my 2 cents.
