  • Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky.

  • Also no quote tweets. And many people are used to algorithms now. I love Mastodon but I have to say Bluesky is more polished. Mastodon can be weird about threads and replies to posts. Sometimes I see a reply before I see the post, especially in the "lists" view. Chronological timeline is great but it has its own issues too. For example people living in different time zones will have their posts buried when everyone is asleep. The algorithm, for better or worse, shuffles things around which can work for you or against you. If you browse for 5 mins here and there, algorithm helps you see the most relevant posts in that widow. Having both chronological and algorthimic feeds would be so helpful to me in Mastodon. I know there a front end that does a "catch up" feature, but it's a bit hacky

  • Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?

  • Yea I know about it but you can't make any of the modern memes with it. It only supports top and bottom text memes, which have been outdated for a couple of years now.

    So it's only for premium users ?

  • Why has nobody ever heard of Distrobox? Let me tell you why everyone should take a look at it!

    Jump

  • I did an experiment where I used Distrobox for many apps not available on Debian. I installed an Arch distrobox and exported the packages. I found that it works great with simple programs, but I run into a few issues when using more complex programs. Jellyfin Media Player for example tended to have a memory leak and have a core dump on the desktop whenever it is closed. It uses twice as memory as the Flatpak for some reason. I had the same issue with Stremio which is also a video streaming app. For command line things it's mostly fine. But this too can get tricky. I tried to use Neovim (Debian's is a bit old) in the Arch distorbox. The issue is that if you need plugins that require some dependency with a given version then you have to also install those and export them which makes things messy. For example you may have a version of Nodejs on your Debian install but you'll need to install Nodejs on the distorbox too and export it. It's the same with many packages like that. You'll run into some issues and waste time trying to figure out where is it coming from. Is it your machine or the distorbox? I ended up just building from source. Overall it's a great project and might work for some software that you need. But it's not something you can always rely on for everything. The app devs are not testing for that specific use case. It's so great for testing and installing stuff and then destroying when you don't need it anymore.

  • Simple Gallery Pro vanished from F-Droid, any similar alternatives?

    Jump

  • There's a fork called Fossify that is expected to replace the Simple Mobile Tools. There's a Gallery and File Manager app already. I am not sure how it's different from the pro version though. It's a fork of the Simple Gallary app that was in Fdroid.

  • Blinken carries Arab message to Israel: keep Palestinian state hope alive

    Jump

  • Well, they actually warned and desuaded Israel from a greater conflict. The tone they used was more direct, and harsher than anything they said when Israel is killing thousand of children.

    Jump

  • Well, for example the US immediately scrambled to talk to Lebanon and work to actually avoid a war in Lebanon. They can immediately put pressure when they want to. The idea that they are helpless is just used to justify what they are doing now and throw smoke in the eyes as to their guilt and complicity.

  • Recommend me an audio app for android?

    Jump

  • It seems that you want a Podcast player and an Audiobook player. I use two different apps for that : AntennaPod for podcasts and Voice for Audiobooks. You can use AntennaPod also for Audiobooks, but I like to separate the two.

  • If I could, I would. Sadly being from North Africa makes it hard for me to donate to my favorite FOSS projects. There are many restrictions and even getting a credit card that's usable internationally is a pain, and it only gives you an amount each year you can use online. Not to mention having a really low currency and bad economy would make even a trivial donation feel like a sizable portion of your income. My comment wasn't a dig at Firefox but a lament. It shows how complex things are. The FOSS and privacy oriented option has to rely here on Google having enough money to give to it. Google having enough money relies on data mining. So the monetization of privacy-respecting option relies on other users letting go of their privacy to Google. While Firefox is a superior option, it is worth seeing how ultimately we are still fucked. Even the FOSS option survives through ad revenue of another company. This highlights the problem of FOSS monetization that needs to be solved. Firefox should learn from Thunderbird.
