RaccoonBall,

Forfeiting English literacy for want of a hyphen seems like an overreaction.

Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former’s app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

RaccoonBall,

Yeah I really don’t get the argument that paying for YouTube premium should hide links that directly support a creator you like.

If anything I’d complain if YouTube hid them as it would be an easy “I got mine” response

RaccoonBall,

As far as I understand, if you’re using k9, you’re already trying it out.

The release of thunderbird will just be a second copy of the app with a new theme. Other than that k9 is getting all the features.

RaccoonBall,

Their comment shows -37 here

RaccoonBall,

I’m still sticking with IRC.

You’ll all be back… Some day

RaccoonBall,

It’s a pint. Just not a US pint.

RaccoonBall,

If that’s true it seems like the name is fooling people

RaccoonBall,

They also said it was mandatory for all the students and teachers to use the stupid 2FA Microsoft app on our phone, but I’ve been using Keepass on desktop without problems (and even shown it to some students).

Yeah if they’re just using the MS app for OTP generation, there’s no reason to use that specific application. Keepass is perfectly fine.

Asahi is pretty great. Only issue for me personally is the lack of speaker support. Audio works fine through headphone jack or bluetooth though.

RaccoonBall,

Apparently that good sound is due to extensive software processing. The asahi devs really want to make a good impression, so they’re spending a lot of time tweaking their sound processing to try to match or beat the MacOS quality before release. Which is both good and annoying. I appreciate the attention to detail, but it would be nice to have any speaker support when I just need to hear something quickly.

The graphics drivers are still in active development, but they have OpenGL3.1 support. Vulkan is under development.

I haven’t tried games, but have seen some posts where users have them working. I don’t think many games are compiled for arm yet though. The graphics dev did a youtube stream back in march where she plays steam games using FEX-Emu. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJSfFzsU75g

RaccoonBall, (edited )

Yeah. They're going a bit too hard.

I get wanting to kick-start the community, but we need conversation as well as posts.

edit: oh i misread, it's just one person's links, nobody else can post. No community to kick-start there. I guess it's easy to block.

RaccoonBall,

Can I do this? Figure we should tag them if we're going to discuss them

@andromedusgalacticus

RaccoonBall,

Not surprising, I guess.

I really don't see how they'll manage to successfully commercialize it. Especially with strong competitors like Jellyfin that don't push intermediary servers or low quality content that many do not want.

RaccoonBall,

At least Skyblivion is getting closer. 2024 or 2025.

It’s not official, but I never played Oblivion, so I have high hopes for experiencing it re-imagined in a modernish engine.

RaccoonBall,

I would.

What do you guys think about the "retro" part of the Indie Web?

I have been exploring webrings a lot lately to find content for the community and stumbled upon tons and tons of websites of the "retro" type, like this one or this one, and I have to say I'm not exactly fond of them. Looks weird, uses very small fonts, doesn't scale in any way so viewing it on any monitor than that of the...

RaccoonBall,

doesn’t scale in any way so viewing it on any monitor than that of the person who made it is an absolute pain

Have you tried ctrl + mousewheel?

Both sites scale for me that way, though I also find them usable as-is.

(ctrl+0 to reset zoom by the way)
