So y’all just pissing in cherrios today?

This is a brand new, opt in interoperability tool between 2 small-ish social networks. No shit its not heavily used yet. People who are using it can ask their friends to bridge, which will bring growth over time, just like any social networking experience.

What exactly are you complaining about? That someone else did something cool you don’t care about? That other people may enjoy something you don’t?

Interoperability removes power from closed gardens. It makes the platform itself way less relevant.

“Bending over backwards” is how you undermine bluesky in favor of mastadon. We should 100% be doing it as much as possible.

Ohh yeah, it’s very slick. Really deep features, compatible with everything, great UI.

Its the same dev that made Yatze, the best kodi app remote, so it was a quick sell for me.

You start with 20 health. Losing half or more on turn 1 is pretty painful.

Hmm, not using finamp. I’m pretty happy with Synfonuim.

Cant speak to that aspect.

Democrats : we have a complicated diplomatic relationship with this foreign state that is exacerbated by our domestic politics. We want this war to end, way more aid to flow into gaza, and a real, two state solution with a change of leadership in both nations so Palestine can co-exist with Israel.

MAGA : PALESTINE DOES NOT EXIST AND NEVER WILL, WE WILL SEND A FLOOD OF UNLIMITED WEAPONS ON DAY 1, THE WEST BANK DOES NOT HAVE ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS, JUST NORMAL COMMUNITIES. OUR AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL IS A FUNDAMENTALIST CRISTIAN WHO WANTS ARMAGEDDON AND OUR SECRETARY OF STATE HAS CALLED FOR TOTAL WAR.

You:

These are the same people.

Yall are absolute clown cars, and have sentenced the palestinian people to even more mass death with your empty, vacant posturing. Its fully possible there will be no west bank or gaza after these 4 years end, partly due to your actions. Great job.

Honestly, you should swap. They have tons of excellent plugins.. The intro skip alone is way better than Plex’s.

The end user clients are very solid too. Their kodi client alone is leagues ahead of the plex community one.

The only feature that plex has over jellyfin at this point in my mind is sharing content easy with people out of your home network. With Jellyfin you need to setup your own certs or reverse proxy like SWAG, or use something like tailscale.

I just moved over to jellyfin from plex. I highly recommend it. It’s way more streamlined and active than plex, with a seriously good plugin community. No investor based bloat.

The only issue I had was that jellyfin would crash on scanning my very old music library, where plex would not. To fix it, I used musicbrainz picard to correctly add idv3 tags and remove illegal characters from song names. Now, its smooth as silk.

Can’t speak to his method, but the jellyfin media sever has a YouTube plugin called Fintube that uses the above downloader to integrate YouTube content.

Email was invented in 1983.

It was revolutionary, the utter example of a “killer app” that had people and businesses running out to buy computers just to replace paper memos. You setup your mail server to hook into that brand new, stunning ecosystem of near instant communication from across the world.

Now there are 6,000,000,000 “killer” apps you can install in seconds from your pocket computer. I can hit “install” and be talking face to face with a stranger in Singapore in 30 seconds, all from easy, low effort walled gardens.

Federation was and is a reasonable way to host things, but comparing current systems to email is a misnomer. People dealt with federation because they had to. If gmail has existed in 1983, no one would have had their own federated email servers. Hell, AOL tried to choke the internet itself to death and almost succeeded in the early 90s because it was an “all in one” solution. They had aol only webpages and everything, including email. Its a twist of fate that they failed, mainly due to the onset of always on broadband, not because people didn’t want things easy.

Make things easy, people will use it. They will only do hard if they have to.

YouTube you can skip ads with uBlock origin for the normal kind and sponserblock for the embed “ad read” kind the youtuber does.

They could do it by not uploading any of the data, or if they do, uploading it encrypted with the only key being on the user’s device or a passcode.

Both are well established ways to secure data, but the company itself would not be able to interact with the data at all past storing it, so any features/revenue there would end.

“Free and open source software.” It’s an ethos that says that code should be free and open for people to use and improve as they see fit. The core of it is that if you modify any software that is FOSS, your software must also be FOSS. So overtime the software and what its used for improve, change, widen. Lucky for us, the movement has been ongoing for 50+ years, so it’s a mature ethos whose benefits are everywhere. Most of the internet runs on FOSS. Lemmy itself is FOSS.

It doesn’t necessarily mean an app is more private, but it does mean you can generally self host, as the commentor said. There isn’t a profit motive with most FOSS, at least not at its core, so there is little desire to data harvest generally. There is also a heavy overlap between FOSS advocates and privacy advocates, so they tend to be more privacy conscious via local data storage or encryption.

Nah, it clearly appeals to a subset of voters in some democracies, and those voters apparently turn out.

Its a threat to woman that if they don’t get married young and have babies, the government will hurt them.

That it. Do what we say or else. The standard conservative line with women.

With trumps win, expect more of this. Being a complete piece of shit clearly works, so this will only escalate. Getting attention, even by being a vile misogynist, is a winning move now.

A lot more than a handful.

That’s what good beans cost.

They literally acted as a group, the so called “uncommited” movement. They were a huge reason Harris lost Michigan.

This was focused, concentrated action to make a point, and they did. They didn’t like the complexity of diplomacy, and so instead chose unmitigated genocide and mass deportation of their fellow americans back to Palenstine to die. Well, they got it.

No, Im well on track with the thread. You want to blame the DNC for what’s about to happen to Palestine under the GOP that the “uncommited” voters just helped stroll into office.

Protest votes when genocide is on the line are just a vote for genocide, full stop. The moral outrage won’t feel great as the GOP goes 10x/100x in on death to Palestine and starts gleefully deporting legal Palestine immigrants in the hundreds of thousands back to their home land to die.

No, the real contest was between diplomacy and brutality.

People think Biden-harris were doing nothing. Just wait until they watch Trump-vance not only do nothing, but dramatically increase the genocide.

They didn’t make a point to the DNC. They helped kill hundreds of thousands by waving the GOP in.
