  • How to keep avoiding Google when it hamstrings Freetube [Linux]

    Jump

  • Just so you know, if you like freetube, you can configure the external player to mpv, which underneath uses yt-dlp when streaming, and use the button to load the external player. Of course one can also launch smplayer, which underneath is using mpv, which underneath...

    But the thing is content creators don't move out of YT cause they're there to monetize in the first place. So this thing seems never ending no matter alternatives like peertube exist.

  • What's a good private YT Music client for Android and Web (PWA)

    Jump

  • Besides outertune there's harmonymusic as well

    None protect your IP if not using a non self hosted frontend like invidio or piped, cause if self hosted then you're providing your IP any ways. So now a days actually private is kind of hard. But these applications for sure help a lot.

  • 2025.09.26 can still do it without deno. Besides, when the change happens, node and bun (never heard about bun before) will be supported as well, not just deno, but they will require extra arguments passed to yt-dlp. If using yt-dlp directly, and already having node or bun installed, no need for deno then.

  • Can i customize LibreWolf like this?

    Jump

  • This is Librewolf, a fork on FF, whatever layout related you can do on FF you can on Librewolf. On More tools -> Customize toolbar you can set up that layout AFAIK.

  • I'm wondering about LOS re-locking on particular devices. DivestOS used to allow that, not sure if only on pixels, but if divestOS which was based on LOS could, I don't see how that code can not be ported over upstream LOS. Have anyone seen an effort similar to divestOS in this regard?

  • There's this apps doc. From there I see in addition to others' comments:

    Both being Go based apps. but the neonmodem looks more interesting to me.

    Another option is a hybrid one, to add the rss feeds from the lemmy communities your're interested in, or the rss feed from all of them together into your feed reader (even better if newsraft), but those feeds don't show full lemmy conversations and one has to show them in the browser, and also if in need to comment or post one still need to use the browser.

    apps doc is constantly evolving, so it's good to keep an eye on it periodically, :)

  • Open TV, the fast and open-source IPTV player for Linux, launches on Android and iOS today!

    Jump

  • There's an AUR open-tv package for Arch/Artix/..., and there's even an AUR open-tv-bin version, but I prefer looking at the build recipes if available, and if not using Arch/Artix/... one can read through the PKGBUILD and see how it builds.

  • De-Shittify your YouTube Experience with FreeTube

    Jump

  • I've been a long term freetube user, but lately I'm finding pipeline built locally through AUR, formerly known as feetuber, a much better experience at least for me. I've set it up to use ytdlp and mpv all the time, so I don't care about Piped sites. It supports Peertube already, and it's way light, at least with mpv playing it is

  • GNOME 49 Will Require Deeper systemd Integration

    Jump

  • There are a bunch of non bloated alternatives with whether wayland compositors and also X11 window managers, and there's also kde/plasma, xfce and mate if still wanting full DE, plus a hybrid lxde-gtk3/lxqt (lxqt supports both X11 and wayland I believe).

    If going the non bloated ways, distributions can offer some modifications on the system configurations files, so that users can start with working software out of the box, and can even offer installation meta packages for a complete set of i3/sway packages to have an equivalent DE experience. What would be left to users is custom settings to get more appealing aesthetics depending on the user, if not i3/sway, then openbox/labwc, and so on. For a DE experience including into the meta package a toolbar like yambar (works on X11 and wayland), dunst/mako, udiskie, redshift/wlsunset and so on. The missing part on non bloated alternatives is easy of configuring through buttons and widgets, and even so lxqt made an easy of configure software component for openbox, and there might be something similar for labwc.

    So non systemd distributions are far from dying because of gnome's hostility.

    And if I recall correctly, several gnome users (not its huge base of course) are moving away from gnome any ways unhappy with its plugin support, given gnome is known to leave plugins unsupported on its releases and not caring about them.

  • ASCII Diagram, offline, Linux, FLOSS

    Jump

  • The AUR PKGBUILD shows a pretty simple recipe:

     
        
build() {
  arch-meson "${pkgname}-${pkgver//+/-}" build
  meson compile -C build
}

package() {
  meson install -C build --destdir "${pkgdir}"
  # permission fix
  chmod 755 "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ascii-draw"
}

    I've been seeing arch-meson often used, but haven't explored what it does. Some day...

    Though it's way more fun to use text specification, like the one referenced by @fratermus@lemmy.sdf.org

  • Flutter is kinda good

    Jump

  • My only experience with it was with harmony-music built/installed from AUR on artix, and I couldn't keep using it, it was consuming too munch CPU, making the fans run nuts. Not sure if it was harmony-music itself, or flutter. Apparently not the same OP experience.

  • Is Hyprland a good WM choice if I can make stacking / floating workflow work?

    Jump

  • maybe, he mentioned stacked mode on a tiling compositor, which is valid, but that's not a thing on stacking compositors... BTW, the stack mode on sway doesn't mean it turns into a stacking compositor, rather it means tabbed mode with the tabs stacked vertically. But the OP knows better.

  • Is Hyprland a good WM choice if I can make stacking / floating workflow work?

    Jump

  • You might try tabbed mode instead of stacking mode. It's great, as mentioned in some comment I made, I'm not a tiling guide, but the tabbed mode on sway is great. I would guess it's available on hyprland since it borrows some concepts from sway. However if you find a lot of trouble on hyprland enabling it (I guess you shouldn't) you might try sway. Beware you need exceptions because otherwise everything shows up maximized, but that's not hard byt reading the man pages, compositor documentation, and looking around on the web. BTW, on sway this global config gives tabbed mode on all workspaces: workspace_layout tabbed and of course you can chenge it to stacking, or tiling whenever you want on any workspace...

  • Is Hyprland a good WM choice if I can make stacking / floating workflow work?

    Jump

  • I'm not a tiling guy, and the tabbed mode on sway seems to me like the best I've used. I believe it's a much better experience than stacking compositors by a lot. Having a tab bar, and everything maximized to it (except what I consider is better off floating) is the best I've experienced. Stacking mode is the same just that is uses too much space by stacking the tabs, so I really don't like stacking mode. So sway tabbed mode, in combination with a tiling concept of a workspace per particular objective (I use 10) and a simple bar (yamber) has no alternative on the stacking spectrum of compositors.

    BTW, if going with a stacking compositor, I recommend labwc instead. I found a smoother and way more stable experience than wayfire (some functionality stops working often like sunset functionality, and usually way behind on wlroots support, not a take on wayfire devs, just that I find it more unstable than labwc).

    Of course I'm biased towards less eye candy, though I still appreciate the equivalent to basic picom/compton on the Xorg world, which is the norm on any wayland compositor AFAIK.
