There's a chance google has to divest from Chrome, but we won't know until September at the earliest. The process the DOJ brought against it is in progress. Binding YouTube to chrome now might jot be a smart move if google loses the process.

There is a good chance in my mind that google will win against the Department Of Justice simply because of the current administration in the US.

Let's say there's a group of people in your hometown who like dogs. They will talk about dog thing this, dog thing that, probably something local. Now you travel to another town and they too have a group that likes dogs. They will talk about dog things too, but probably it'll be different dog things that are also specific to their location.

You have the option to join both dog communities without physically traveling from one town to another. You can even choose not to join a dog group in another town that only like to talk about dog fighting for example.

There is no "tech savvy" required here. You signed up in a town that has communities there, you can see communities from other towns, and you can choose to join them all, some, or none. It's up to you.

I honestly think this is a good idea. From what I understand it's just making it easy to share the same link from reddit without having to copypaste a bunch of stuff, right? It's like reading an RSS feed or stumbling upon a cool thing you want to share and having an easy way to do so.

Don't worry about the naysayers. There are always a bunch of purists around that believe the world can be divided into black and white.

Lemmy-users won't be able to tell the difference between somebody who found a link and shared it by copy pasting or someone using the extension🤷 Good content is everywhere and where you found it shouldn't matter.

Put the source up on codeberg, publish the extension, and let people decide for themselves if they want to use it or not.

Good luck

Port forwarding is premium? On what exactly? I must be out of the loop...

Nope. I'd report and block them. Looks like spam to me.

I wasn't being very serious about nix. IMO, it's quite the time investment due to its poor documentation and it has a lot of gotcha's if you aren't on NixOS e.g one example is that it's great for terminal applications, but horrendous for GUI applications as it'll be hit or miss. Again, this is if you're not on NixOS. So, it can feel like an "all or nothing" approach.

If you have the time and will, then it can be very rewarding. But if you just "want something that works ™ " side by side in your current system, personally, I wouldn't recommend it - unless it's hidden by some other tool like devenv (which is a great tool for reproducible developer environments).

Adopt nix and you will be able to ignore it forever! 😉

Seriously though, as others have said, use whatever fits you best. I avoided snaps and flatpaks due to the increased size requirements. So many things were duplicated for no apparent benefit (to me). However, with their introduction of permissions and portals, it does seem like a safer option. Although, we're in a phase right now where not everything is flatpakked and applications trying to talk to each other is a pain (keepassxc unable to talk to flatpak ~~firefox~~ librewolf, chromium, etc.).

Now that I use nix, I have a whole bunch of other problems, but at least getting packages is quite low on the list.

Guys, stop using github. Put your stuff on gitlab or codeberg (clearnet or on I2P), or even put it on radicle (which can also be hosted on TOR or I2P). They'll have a much harder time taking down stuff on alternatives and it'll be nearly impossible on hidden services.

There's nothing really wrong with substack. People just like to shit on anything that doesn't pass whatever purity test they happen to use.

This is big problem in left-wing communities. They just can't get along and demand purity in anything they do - except themselves. Left wingers will happily and harshly defend their use of whatever capitalist product they themselves use with a bunch of excuses that fan make your head spin. Apple users a great example thereof. They will disparage so many other products and companies but somehow Apple is their baby and immune to criticism.

The eternal problem of open source: people will happily pay for proprietary software and services, complain that open source isn't ready. Then when it is, they will not donate a single cent to continue development but instead create passive aggressive posts and issues demanding features or shitting on the project.

It theoretically does but in practice, it doesn't really. More information here. For some reason peertube decided to roll their own webtorrent alternative instead of build upon webtorrent 🤷

Uh... Where do you get that it uses IPFS? I checked the seedit repo and it doesn't seem to mention it in the dependencies nor readme.
