This is it for me for mobile Reddit. I also cancelled my Gold subscription, and likely will step down as mod for a tiny sub i mod, not gonna give them any more free work. And if (when!) they remove Old Reddit i'll leave the site for good. Too bad Lemmy is still in very early stages (very similar to Reddit in it's first years in fact), or it'd be THE alternative. Hopefully many people will join in.

Embrace: Development of software substantially compatible with a competing product, or implementing a public standard.
Extend: Addition and promotion of features not supported by the competing product or part of the standard, creating interoperability problems for customers who try to use the "simple" standard.
Extinguish: When extensions become a de facto standard because of their dominant market share, they marginalize competitors that do not or cannot support the new extensions.
This has been done for open protocols by other companies before, many, MANY times. They're likely going to "joyfully embrace" the Fediverse, add some "improvements" that will be proprietary and only run on their software, then when people become addicted to "Meta Fediverse", close things down dramatically so that people only run their stuff. We must prevent that bullshit.
Cool and all, but for a service/device/software that prides itself on being private this could be an issue unless they have solved it somehow, as all the conversation would go through the OpenAI servers
Edit: They say that they proxy it through their systems anonymized, that would work but it's not perfect as anonymization can sometimes be reversed. Still, it's better than nothing, it's unlikely the devices will be able to run locally any LLM. An option would be an LLM hosted on a server under the user's control, or hosted by the company itself. We'll see.
Can anyone recommend a secure, open source, offsite backup setup with client-side encryption? The way I'm set up now, I have certain folders on my QNAP NAS automatically backup to Backblaze.

Rather than these links get the manager and patch the YT app directly, that will also give you a bunch of options of how you want it, you will likely need to downgrade the app to a version better suited for patching, usually not the latest, at this time i believe it's still 18.05.40. Hate linking to Reddit here but at this time this might be the best guide for the process, wish it wasn't there.
Logging in to your account with all it implies: Being able to like and comment, history shared across devices, subscriptions (although there's ways to import your subscriptions into NewPipe but it's hacky), recommendations, etc. If you want this, NewPipe won't do it as it has no way to log in. Many people don't anyway, but a lot do.
I remember a comment on Reddit years ago (which i fail to find right now) describing all the cons of hypothetical tech implants, seeing this IRL is decidedly odd and not unexpected…
Was looking for something else and noticed that SNORT has an explicit rule against .ml domains, automatically flags any DNS query for a .ml domain as "suspicious malware activity".

Back in the good old days, forums and IRC ran parallel with each other and had no reason to intersect. With the internet becoming bigger, more consolidated and commercialized than ever, people are finding ways to spend time on as few different sites as possible. Forums have closed in favor of cheaper-to-run Discord servers. This...
While it's DEFINITELY not a bad idea to not put all eggs in one basket and prevent stuff from even happening in the first place, i think this person is worrying too much about the consequences. We do have a recent important precedent of a very public corporate takeover of a very popular free software service: The Freenode IRC takeover. After the nutcase effectively took over the network's ownership, people just... left. They remade the service elsewhere (Libera.Chat) and everybody moved, making the takeover meaningless. So, if worst comes to worst i don't think there's gonna be a problem. Here's the info on Wikipedia of the event and the exodus to Libera Chat
It was definitely weird, the Wiki entry skips on some of the weirdest manic parts of it, like the dude claiming to be the "Crown Prince of Korea" and more weirdness, very much felt like a whole manic episode triggered this
We are happy to see that many of you are exploring Lemmy after Reddit announced changes to its API policy. I maintain this project alongside @dessalines....
Dumb question i can't find an answer to: You see a post in a different Lemmy server than your own, and if you try to answer it says you're not logged in, because you're not in that server. How do i see posts/communities through your server so that i can vote or comment? Don't see a clear answer to this in the docs, or have missed it completely.
Edit: Partially answering myself: Go to the "search" box of your instance and put the name of the community you want in the format "!linux", it should show you that community through your server. Will update if/when i find an answer for direct posts that does the same.
