I think it’s not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they’ll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.

But all user contributions on StackOverflow licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0… right?

Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc…

SponsorBlock isn’t affected at all, as I understood after reading an article. Why did you mention it?

But Google is likely trying this dark pattern to sway people away from F-Droid or alt stores by making users uninstall these apps and install it from the Google Play Store.

No, it’s the security measure. Anyone can use existing package ID. If the user installs a different app with the same package ID as the other, that new app just overwrites the old app and will have access to the sensitive data of it.

F-Droid apps are built and signed by the people at F-Droid. Apps from Google Play and GitHub are built and signed by the developers themselves. You can update Google Play apps from GitHub and vice versa. That’s why I use Obtainium over F-Droid.

Of course dead, even not showing up on my instance

The problem with “org” part. We’ll never have org.gnome and com.gnome packages. Some apps have io.github.foo.bar. This entire thing is also case sensitive, so I have to guess is org.gnome.epiphany right name or org.gnome.Epiphany.

They integrated AI chat which is using OpenAI technology. So they’re paying for ChatGPT API instead of spending this money on trees? And doesn’t running generative AI consume a lot of electricity?

I don’t see regular Opera being used, but often Opera GX. Their marketing is so powerful, and those edgy features attract gamers.

Most of subreddit admins and mods are not interested in migrating to somewhere else. A few months after API changes Reddit is still usable and active. Even third party apps are functioning if you apply a patch with your developer token. Also mods don’t want to lose their power.

If you really want to bring more official communities here, you should ask admins who are already interested in open-source or Fediverse. For example, I found that people behind Fossify (a Simple Mobile Tools fork) had created a subreddit. Ask them about Lemmy. It’s FOSS-friendly, there are a lot of fans here, so the chances that they’ll make and promote a Lemmy community are much higher.

I was always curious why is it called Incognito or Private mode? Temporary or Guest session would make more sense: “You’ve entered a Temporary session. Your browsing history and cookies will not be saved.”

Nitro ads? It’s 1 very minor ad when you launch the app. Then there’s no more ads.

Recently I launched Discord on desktop and got big splash screen screaming about new shop items. Earlier, I’ve got constant popups about new nitro perks, new avatar decorations, new app icons.

Not as good as forums? Bull. I get an answer to my question immediately on discord. I may never find the answer to my question by sifting through dozens of pages of forum posts of someone having a similar but not congruent problem to mine.

You may get an answer immediately, but this answer will be lost after some messages. Someone with the same question may ask it again instead of searching. People in chat may get tired to answer over and over. On forums you have one question 10 years ago and answer to it. No need to ask again.

Can’t find information? Discord has integrated forums with a search feature in each server.

Discord’s internal search is very limited, not as good as Google. Discord is very hard to archive, so at some point information will be lost.

Bloated? How so? You have an inbox and you have your list of servers on the left hand side.

If you have many servers, you’ll get many notifications and new messages badges. You’ll also have many useless channels, which you need to manually mute or hide.

it’s because discord doesn’t have E2E encryption and yall wanna discuss some naughty shit.

I don’t really think encryption is mandatory for every chat app, it has some problems with transferring messages to other devices. If you’re working on some project, you probably don’t want it to be leaked, so you’ll encrypt your messages.

Would be better if it was possible to hide it, like in home feed. I don’t want to see shorts in my subscription feed. It takes so much space.
