I think we're getting a lot of pictures for !pbsod@lemmy.ohaa.xyz

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.

Ubisoft is stripping people's licences for The Crew weeks after its shutdown, nearly squandering hopes of fan servers and acting as a stark reminder of how volatile digital ownership is in c/games@sh.itjust.works

And the CEO of that company wants us to "be comfortable" with not owning games.

What is being done to make Flatpaks better integrate into the system in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] uuhhhhmmmm@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago (4 children)

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.

Ecosia plants 200 million trees in c/technology@lemmy.world

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?

Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX in c/technology@lemmy.world

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

Help encourage more reddit subs to move to Lemmy! Message the moderators of the subs you'd like to see on Lemmy. Here's an example script. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

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.

Google updates Chrome's Incognito Mode disclaimer to admit it is tracking users in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] uuhhhhmmmm@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 months ago (11 children)

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."
