Oh shit!

This post actually made me look for a solution and I found one!
Solution to opening tiktoks without using tiktok app or site, not how to stop ur friends sending u garbage.

It made me think… mpv player can play basically any link you throw at it (thanks to yt-dlp), and we also have mpv on Android, so why can’t we do it there as well. And sure enough, I found this github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/pull/58, someone baked yt-dlp in mpv for Android, making it possible to open link in mpv (share >> play in mpv)

It works for instagram and all other shit.

Take those graphs with a grain of salt. There are several websites that track activity and all of them show different results. I also assume that almost every lemmy update affects these graphs, since things did break quite a few times.

This is from the official lemmy site join-lemmy. It says 820 Servers, 41k Active users

This is from fedidb (same site the screenshot from the post comes from). 923 Servers, 39,832 Active Users and 433,819 Total Users

Then we have fediverse.observer. Based on that graph, monthly active users are growing. 845 Servers and 43,631 Active users and 1,944,442 Total Users

And finally we have lemmyverse. Which uses the method to find the “sus” servers and users, so 863 Servers and 1,741,848 Actual Users

To me personally it seems like the content is becoming more regular and better in quality overall. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You can’t go wrong with taking inspiration from RES. Having a filter for the type of posts next to the sort type would be pretty good. That would require the posts to be discerned into categories (video, image, text…). I believe they currently aren’t?

Although I can’t find those exact pics, I believe that the photographer is Drew Buckley (Puffin Man), he takes a lot of photos of puffins :D

Federation has been messed up since the last lemmy update.

I think they found the issue though:

lemmy.world/post/10209208.

Just gotta wait for the update now.

Florisboard is nice.

You can enable spell check underline even for keyboards that don’t have it, by changing which app it uses for spell checker specifically. In my case it’s under Android settings >> System >> Languages & input >> Spell checker (under the Tools category), It might be different on your phone, in that case I guess you can just search for “Spell checker” and then u can use Gboard for spell checking for example.

Yeah, I just tested it in Jerboa…I guess in some apps it just doesn’t work, probably depending on how the text box is implemented in the app or something, I’m not sure.
I didn’t have trouble with it so far because it has been working for all the apps that I use.

federation on my lemmy instance is broken, so this message will probably arrive very late

yep, borked

Have u tried yt-dlp?

Play with the input you like to play, nobody cares.
In highly competitive games, I just wish they would separate ques by input, because aim assist in most games is cranked so high that it’s basically an aimbot.

As it turns out, it only happens if I open lemmy from hyperlink on my custom startpage (local file).

Wistful, 5 months ago

New owner? What happened?

Oh, nice. Ty for the tip.

Yeah, scrolling over video speed icon is really nice.

Walking doesn’t really burn all that much calories, you likely overestimated how many calories you burnt and underestimated how many calories you took in.

Bit off-topic…Librera is decent but I hate that I can’t use custom background without changing the opacity. It seems like it doesn’t have the ability to use a background but it rather puts the image on top of the text and then lowers the opacity of the custom image, which doesn’t look nice.
