Some government should finally grow the balls to reform copyright, it's insane that basically the whole world uses this broken system that, among other things, makes archiving illegal

From what I can tell, changes are just uploaded immediately. I think If someone adds wrong data, another contributor can revert it.

They have a bigger catalog? I kinda assumed that Spotify had the biggest catalog by far because they're the most popular one.

In GNOME you just need to log in with your Nextcloud account in the system settings and it will add it in the file manager

Nice demonstration of why mastodon's dominance is problematic

See the conversions here:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/4628
and
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/federating-the-content-of-posts-note-articles-and-character-limits/4087

AFAICT, mastodon's decisions, which are arguably problematic (on which see: https://lemmy.ml/post/14973403) are literally trickling down to other platforms and infecting how they federate with each other as they dance around mastodon's quirks in different ways.

It seems like masto is ruining "the standard" with its gravity.

Isn't there a group of people now that's working to improve the ActivityPub spec and actually define things so applications don't implement it differently?

Fisch ,
@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That's not what I meant. I read at some point that there's a group of people trying to build a wiki or something, so others, who want to make fediverse software, can look up best-practices and the like. They also wanted to make demo software to test the federation against, so Mastodon doesn't have to be used for that.

@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That's kind of what I meant too, if there's a standardised and correct way to implement things, that's how projects should implement it instead of trying to do it the "Mastodon" way

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

Apps can absolutely listen for a wake word tho

Is it that difficult to run Mastodon over Docker?

I am used to simple things running on Docker (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, etc.) I am looking at running my own personal Mastodon instance (maybe share it with a few friends and family), but I like using Docker. Looking at install guides, the steps required seem to be much harder than just editing docker-compose.yml and running the...

There's a project called Watchtower that is specifically for auto-updating docker-compose containers

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

Depending on the keyboard you use, you probably just have to enable profanities in its settings

On Linux there's also Celluloid, which is basically a GTK GUI for MPV

Fisch ,
@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I do the same. In case someone wants to know how it works with an Android phone, you connect your phone to your PC over USB and then you get a notification on your phone that says something like "Charging over USB". If you tap on that, you can change the connection mode and one of the modes is "USB tethering". If you select that, your PC will have an internet connection over the USB connection to your phone. It's kinda like hotspot over USB.

Tesla’s in its flop era (www.theverge.com)

When Tesla releases its first quarter earnings this afternoon, the company’s CEO Elon Musk will field the usual questions about new products, new factories, and progress toward its futuristic vision of self-driving cars and robot workers. But Musk will also face increasingly urgent questions about its current state of affairs...

@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I think people just realized that Tesla's aren't that great. They're not build well, simple repairs cost a fortune and for the same price you get better vehicles from other manufacturers, especially from ones in China.

Really? I looked at prices of used EVs recently and was dissappointed at how expensive they were. I would have liked to be able to afford one as a first car.

Reddit Is Taking Over Google (tech.slashdot.org)

Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links.

These sites are great for finding answers but Lemmy solves the same problem as they do. I'm actually seeing Lemmy results quite often from google recently too (I'm using SearXNG btw, it displays what search engines individual results are from).

Fisch ,
@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That would be great. Maybe SearXNG can add that by doing a site: for every lemmy instance from join-lemmy.org or something when you do site:lemmy

In Germany, at least, those people aren't even worried about the real issues, like climate change, but about made-up issues like the green party destroying our economy (they're not), immigrants raping women left and right (they aren't) and that we aren't using nuclear energy anymore and are relying more and more on renewables (it's not causing any issues and pushing down energy price)

The thing is, the politicians working against us have been voted to be there. They convinced enough people that what they're doing is good for them. Also, there are also politicians that are working for our rights, there's a reason this has been on the table for so long without actually being implemented.

Any distro, I don't think there's a difference in this case

A real Arch user would never register for something like that

I don't get what you mean by that

Ok, makes sense. I thought you meant that nvidia gpus were cheaper than amd ones, which is obviously not true.

@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Even if they have to pay it themselves, they can still ask their parents to buy/order it for them and just give them the money. That's what I did at that age anyway because ordering them online is cheaper and you have more choice.

I just use ungoogled chromium in those cases

Any advantage to using something self-hosted, like Komga, in Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi)?

I recently found out that instead of just using online sources, you can also use something you can host yourself, like Komga, in Mihon. I'm just wondering if there's an advantage to it that I didn't think of because the only things I can think of are:...

Fisch OP ,
@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It's just that I only read manga on my phone anyway (even though that might be because it's not synced between devices) and I've never had the issue that an online source went offline. I just thought that maybe there are other reasons, like how you can get way better quality when you self host something like Jellyfin for movies and shows.

You need to enable filter lists for that. I have uBlock filters - Annoyances and EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices activated under the Annoyances tab

I was using streaming-based sites the first few years because it was easy but it had its issues. With uBlock Origin, ads and popups weren't a problem anymore but there were still issues like bad quality, buffering and your progress in a show not being tracked. This promptet me to try out Jellyfin with the arr stack and it's so much better. I had to get used to having to wait for shows and movies to download before being able to watch them but the experience was so much better aside from that. Great quality, a nice interface where your progress is tracked, everything loads perfectly fine, I can make accounts for friends and family and no ads or shit like that. It took some time to perfect my setup but now I have a lot of private torrent trackers and usenet and I can get pretty much everything I want to watch, even in German, in the best quality that is available, especially when something's available in AV1.

You need time, knowledge and money to get a setup as good as I have and it's worth it for me personally (selfhosting is also my main hobby, after all) but most people don't have all that, so I can understand why doing it like this is a pretty niche thing and why not a lot of people are doing it nowadays.

I just have it accessible through my domain. IPTV is interesting but I have no idea how it works.

Fisch ,
@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

So they basically stream what is being broadcast on these channels to you? What does it cost? I have friends who watch sports too, if it's cheaper it might be worth it if I set it up for them on my server.

@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

That might be exactly what he's trying to achieve by announcing it like this. Kinda sounds like a pump and dump tbh.

It's actually insane how low the Monero fees are, you can make a transaction that takes less than 5 minutes and the fees are gonna be way less than a cent

You just need the docker and docker-compose packages. You make a docker-compose.yml file and there you define all settings for the container (image, ports, volumes, ...). Then you run docker-compose up -d in the directory where that file is located and it will automatically create the docker container and run it with the settings you defined. If you make changes to the file and run the command again, it will update the container to use the new settings. In this command docker-compose is just the software that allows you to do all this with the docker-compose.yml file, up means it's bringing the container up (which means starting it) and -d is for detached, so it does that in the background (it will still tell you in the terminal what it's doing while creating the container).

A mini-pc with an Intel N100 will be a little more expensive (I bought one for ~150€) but it's about 5-6 times faster than the Pi and mine also came with 16gb of RAM and a 500gb SSD. It requires very little power and because of that, it's also very quiet. AV1 decode is also great if you plan to run something like Kodi on it or you want to do transcoding from an AV1 video with Jellyfin (I haven't migrated those to it yet, so I don't know how well it works in practice). I'm not sure but it might not even be a lot more expensive than a Pi with 8gb of RAM and an additional 500gb SSD.
