Weird, the cartoon doesn’t want to let me through. Something about an iPhone running lemmy pisses off anubus.
I’m having the same issue on Android. For me, switching to desktop mode to load the Anubis check then back to mobile mode so the website is usable again worked.
cartoon? Anubis? What?
(I’ve never used an iPhone in my life)
Websites are getting hammered by AI bots stealing content and jacking up their bandwidth usage. So they use a piece of software called Anubis which, for some reason, has a cartoon nurse that will grant or deny you access based on if she thinks you are human or AI. For some reason, she thinks I am AI so I can’t access the article.
That cartoon is so misleading, I thought I was deceived and sent to a bogus site.
Lots of sites use her now
Gnome seems to swap out default apps pretty often. Are the old apps getting abandoned? Or are they always jumping to the next cool new thing?
Here’s what I found.
Why does Totem need to be replaced?
Totem is still a GTK3 app and is unmaintained (in part due to a crusty codebase), seeing no major development in years. Replacing it with a modern GTK4/libadwaita app designed to use modern technologies and meet modern needs has been a “high priority” for GNOME.
Thanks!
I don’t think they’re usually abandoned. At least not right away. But they rarely still get feature updates. Mostly just bug fixes. Not sure if it’s just different developers not wanting to stick to the same project of someone else’s code or what.

I want to know only one thing: is it based on mpv?
Can someone explain pros and cons of MPV vs gstreamer?
Looks to be using GStreamer:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/06/test-gnome-showtime-new-video-player
It seems to be based on GstPlay/GStreamer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/showtime/-/blob/main/showtime/play.py
How come they don’t just use VLC?
In my opinion, MPV is even better. I mean, it is faster and has better codec support. On the other hand, VLC has a better user interface with a lot of preferences. As for Showtime, oh boy, it’s a clear beauty!
For now I’m staying with MPV, because ffmpeg > gstreamer.
I love VLC. I also love mpv.
I like to think that VLC is for window users for them to get a taste of what it’s like to use Linux.
I mean, it is faster
Lol, what? Do people really care about the ‘speed’ of their video player in 2025?
You can still use older hardware in 2025. So, yes.
Doesn’t feel gnomey enough.
