  • Looks like an update to Newpipe is imenant (hopefully). Complete YouTube lockout as of this morning. 😡😭

  • There are still working Invidious instances? Which one are you using?

  • Google pays $68M to settle claims its voice assistant spied on users

  • These fines are so toothless, it's pathetic.

  • What are peoples thoughts on the Mecha Comet?

    Jump

  • Not for me. The pogo pin modules might look nice, but they're essentially just more moving parts that you can break and/or lose.

  • What XMPP clients do you like and why?

    Jump

  • On Linux, I really like Dino, because it's one of the few clients that played nice with OMEMO. I use XMPP on my PC and on my phone and that seemed to trip some clients up.

    I also liked Gajim on Windows for much the same reasons, but this was years ago, I imagine it's pretty good now, too.

  • An alternative decentralized internet for sharing text and media: The Gemini Protocol

    Jump

  • I see. Thanks for elaborating.

  • That's not ideal. I hope they implemented images in the protocol itself, because having just text is kinda bland.

  • I can't believe it's not sarcasm

  • Clients display text, like an eBook, or images / media.

    Is this new? Last I checked on Gemini, it could only to text, unless you count ASCII art as images.

  • Good news vs. bad news

  • Thanks for this, I was completely lost.

  • Childhood trauma 😩

    Jump

  • Fair enough. I can see how weeks worth of savings going up in smoke would greatly upset a child.

  • I mean, it was a very fancy looking error message. Who was terrified by this?

  • Surrounded by billionaires in Davos, Trump plans to lay out how he'll make housing more affordable

    Jump

  • Whose housing, exactly?

  • What's your opinion on Tuta mail?

    Jump

  • My bad, I wasn't clear enough. I actually meant Proton Bridge has no mobile version, meaning you can only use the official app you mentioned, but not any third party apps like K-9 Mail/Thunderbird or FairEmail.

  • What's your opinion on Tuta mail?

    Jump

  • I've been on Posteo for years now, they've been rock solid. As for Tuta.io, the issue specifically is no IMAP support, which is what third party email clients need to function.

    I thought I'd also mention Protonmail, which might look good, but is in a similar boat. They technically do provide IMAP support, but not in a way that matters. If you wanted to connect Protonmail to Thunderbird or, if you're an insane person, Microsoft Outlook, you'd need another app running on your PC along with your email app called Proton Bridge, which just sounds like a hassle. No mobile version either.

    I'd say stick with Posteo. Alternatively, if you want to use your own domain name, I've heard good things about mailbox.org.

  • Let's say hypothetically, you just lived the plot of the Truman Show, escaping a bubble where your life has been broadcasted for the entire world to see. Now that you're free, what's your next move?

    Jump

  • Man, hard to say. All I know is, I'd be a nervous wreck. Finding out that your whole life was a lie and all the moments that I thought were my own, especially private ones, were broadcast to the world. I would feel badly hurt and violated. So I suppose it would be one of two options, depending on my mental state:

    • I made peace with it: I would find myself in a strange and unfamiliar world. I would consider everything I've been taught up to this point suspect at best, so my next move would be information gathering.
    • I didn't make peace with it: I would become a whirlwind of emotions that I can't manage. I would be a person that had a life that never existed with friends and family who were just paid actors and to top it all off, there's the mastermind who had no qualms putting me in such a horrific position. For ratings and money, no less. I think I would be overcome with grief, confusion and fury. As for my next move? I honestly haven't a clue, but it wouldn't be pretty for anyone involved.

  • Why do the monsters keep increasing?

    Jump

  • I would love to have an analogue of Cecil Harvey IRL. Unfortunately, I see no indication of rebellion from any of Trump's lackeys.

  • 11.37%. Now we're talking.

    Jump

  • I did not know that. It's not that I don't appreciate his enthusiasm, but articles like this do more harm than whatever good he thinks he's doing.

  • Google's Youtube now has ads for tobacco products even though it is against the terms of google's service

    Jump

  • 11.37%. Now we're talking.

    Jump

  • In StatCounter's latest US numbers, which cover through October, Linux shows up as only 3.49%. But if you look closer, "unknown" accounts for 4.21%. Allow me to make an educated guess here: I suspect those unknown desktops are actually running Linux. What else could it be? FreeBSD? Unix? OS/2? Unlikely.

    This is where I stopped reading. "Educated guess", my ass. Let's call it what it actually is: wild speculation. ZDnet lets just anyone write articles, I guess.
