Either ban vibe coded projects entirely or ban vibe coded projects that have less than a year of history. If allowing “mature” vibe coded projects, require the tag.

Spaces like this become so much worse when “i made this last week look at the shiny ui 🎉🎉🎉🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀” projects that will never ever see any form of maintenance are allowed.

Ban 'em

Prowlarr isn’t an alternative to torrenting, is the main thing. It’s an indexer manager for the other arrs, which means it just does torrenting (or usenet) for you. You still want to be on high quality private trackers if using Prowlarr, it just means not needing to interface with 10 sites’ search bars to look for something.

Waterfox. All FF features, no telemetry or AI, no “opt out”.

Lmao of course it’s plebbit/seedit/whatever else they tried to call it.

One thing I’d like to see from an app like this is “force the video into an arbitrary file size limit” with a list of priorities to do so defined by the user. Say I’ve got a video I want to send over Discord (10mb limit) but I’m not intending for the vid to be fullscreened by the recipient so scaling it down to like 480x480 would be fine.

yt-dlp, but most of the time you’ll use some form of front end. All the “youtube downloaders”, even the shady websites, are using yt-dlp. For selfhosted purposes, I like MeTube for individual downloads and Tubesync for keeping up with channels.

Taylor Swift has a private jet and flies around in it a lot. It caught on as a meme to point out that this one musician’s travel is responsible for approximately the same amount of pollution as a small town of car drivers. This mutated into “Taylor Swift is literally always on an airplane at all times”.

Why do I see this comment when I have lemmy’s “hide bots” flag set?

“The cloud” is somebody else’s computer. Somebody else leases you the space and compute, somebody else can turn the physical machine off or terminate your access to their service. Self-hosting is about removing as many somebody-elses as possible (you’re still on the hook for stuff like power and an ISP, though a lot of self-hosted stuff is also designed to function purely offline so it’s just power for that stuff).

???'s only friend

FUTO can go fuck itself.

This headline keeps being repeated by this one for profit CEO. Have you looked at the business model being “disrupted”? It’s ads and upsells for premade CSS widgets.

Firefox is a black box because you can’t opt out of stuff before you click the ‘update browser!’ button. They’ve added default-on data harvesting, telemetry, ads, and now chatbots to Firefox that you have to track down and disable every time it happens. All self-updating software is a “black box” like this, but Mozilla has lost my trust that their updates will have more good than bullshit. So now I use Waterfox and don’t need to worry that there’s some new scheme to monetize me every time I get a browser update.

They loophole it by not “hosting” anything other than text. Link to something and someone else is accountable right? Just ignore that data is data and any image or video can be expressed as a sequence of “text” :)

App suite isn’t corporation.

The for-profit corporation attached to the open source project is the failure. The linux kernel isn’t attached to Linux Corporation, ffmpeg isn’t attached to FFmpeg Corporation. Android is attached to Google Corporation, but Google Corporation already existed and had massive revenue streams before making Android, thus Android as an open source OS doesn’t need to drive revenue (of course, they put their greedy tentacles into Android with stuff like the Play Store and Gemini).

Mozilla Corporation shouldn’t exist. That’s not to say Firefox (or Linux, or ffmpeg, etc) developers shouldn’t have avenues to make money. But it should only be developers making money, not a holding corporation parasitizing the one (two if you count Thunderbird) meaningful project undertaken by “Mozilla”. The project gets a lot more sustainable when all you need to do is ensure that actual contributors to the software development are paid fairly for that actual work.

A CEO can decide what Firefox does (and in ways that inevitably influence the FOSS Mozcorpless forks). No CEO can decide what Linux does.

“it’s easier than you think” is one thing that’s very helpful to show to people that don’t already know about using free software without tracking and such, but when it’s “it’s easier than you think, just spend hundreds of dollars and replace your device” I’d say the barrier to entry is the cost more than the skill.

Aren’t there phones like the Nothing that already have fully FOSS android implementations pre-installed? That’s the peak “easy” - just buy a new product! So saying installing Lineage is “easy” to someone who very likely can only do so after buying a new product is burying the lede.

If you’re buying a new one, whatever fits your budget and is compatible with Lineage/Graphene.

The only times I’ve personally been forced off of a Samsung phone (though I’ve mostly had flagships) wasn’t due to any day-to-day degradation in user experience. It was stuff like switching USA carriers or my carrier blacklisting devices with 3g. My current S22 Ultra is three years old, going on four, and aside from needing to use adb and shizuku to have a semblance of control I once had with root there’s nothing wrong with it. My previous phone was only replaced because it became incompatible with my ATT phone service in the US. The Note 9, which was four years-ish old when ATT decided 3g+4g wasn’t good enough and deactivated any SIM i put in the thing. If not for that arbitrary carrier-made decision, I can’t think of many things that 9 couldn’t do that the S22U can.

My next phone won’t be a purchase I make until I absolutely need to make it, and at that point it’ll exclusively be a pick from degooglable unlockable models. I’ll probably choose based on hardware like an SD slot, removable battery, and stylus if any of those are available. Or maybe linux phones will be a thing at that point and I’ll be looking at those.

$300 plus shipping and taxes. In your region. And a whole lot more than $0, which is the cost of staying on someone’s old phone. when someone’s buying a new phone already, considering its compatibility with Lineage or Graphene is something that should be on more people’s radar, I agree. But switching from googled vendor’d Android to fully open Android isn’t a pure skill issue like switching from Chrome to Firefox (/Waterfox/librewolf) or Windows to Linux is. “I’d switch but it’s too hard” is a much smaller reason than “I’d switch but it’s too expensive” is.

Someone’s five year old phone is just as likely to be a five year old Samsung/etc with a locked bootloader.
