So this new browser by https://thebrowser.company .

Some good ideas, like pinned tabs. (Will soon be copied I would think.)

Some concerning: lots of data apparently gets sent to Google, unless you turn if off/

Some features I would miss from Firefox, particularly containers. I have walled off some companies (like Meta) and use them to easily access multiple accounts at others (like Mastodon.social)

But the biggest question is: what's their business model? They have venture investment.

cutitdown,

@J12t Not quite the same, but you can create separate profiles that keep that stuff separate. You'd just have to make a space with a profile for each website you want fully separate.

I haven't tested much myself, but the settings seem accessible to me. See attached image.

Sponsorblock for Podcasts

As someone who aggressively adblocks everything, one of the final places that ads can still reach me is in annoying ad reads within podcasts. Youtube sponsorblock is incredible but it seems no one has yet adapted this for podcasts. Has anyone else managed to find a solution here? As far as i can tell in my googleing, this...

cutitdown,

That's a decent solution, but unfortunately doesn't have handy podcast app features like silence trimming, voice boosting, etc. Great suggestion though!

cutitdown,

Absoltuely. Definitely depends on what you're listening to. Gotta be able to adjust per podcast.

cutitdown,

I'll admit I do. And I won't like, I'll still append "Reddit" to my searches as needed. I'm just not really actively contributing or anything there anymore, which is sad

@frederic Could use a burner email?

cutitdown,

Pretty cool, especially considering how it's been shown that WiFi can be used to pretty accurately determine the position and number of people in a room with AI.

Hey y'all, we're headin' down 'er to m'k'bin on the bayou this weeken' if ya wanna tagalong

cutitdown,

Interesting. For some reason kbin sounds better than lemmy to me, but don't super love either.

Should we be using hashtags and mentions more?

Edited below. I imagine many of us are here from reddit, where hashtags weren't really a thing and in many places mentions were actively discouraged (/r/politics I'm looking at you). However, since everything we post or comment on kbin (and lemmy) has the potential of getting federated on a mastodon server, which leans heavily...

cutitdown,

Indeed, hence I think kbin is the best sorta in-between. It's designed to deal with both threads and microblogs.

cutitdown,

Any tips on jumping in? Recommended services, etc

cutitdown,

This is super helpful, thanks so much

A great mobile app for free music

I recently got into the piracy community, and discovered a great open source app for Android that allows you to stream music for free from YouTube music! It’s called ViMusic and it’s one of the best free music apps imo. It has a beautiful and customizable interface and it actually has a music recommendation algorithm which...

cutitdown,

That works. F-Droid is an alternative to the Play store. You can also download the .apk directly instead if you prefer. Just scroll down to the versions and find the most recent.

cutitdown,

Any tips on where you source the torrents from? Also looking into Usenet as well

Okay, is slick.

cutitdown,

@ben Agreed, so good!

You're welcome to join/contribute to @ArcBrowser if you like -- still a work-in-progress :)

cutitdown,

Supposedly he's gonna add kbin support also. I hope he changes the name to be more broad, like Sync for Fediverse. Or Synciverse or something.

cutitdown,

Not sure about them, but I use browser on desktop and the progressive web app on mobile generally. Sometimes browser on mobile

Threads vs microblogs?

Does anyone have any advice on whether to use or when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on ? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?

cutitdown,

@NudelnAlDente Not sure there's really any set ways, but I'd personally use a microblog with hashtags if I wanted some reach beyond kbin or the community I'm posting to. That said, it seems like folks on kbin might favor threads in general, perhaps because it's most similar the posts on Reddit where many of us have come from.

cutitdown,

Designer here. You could try searching for communities on the fediverse dedicated to design/web design/3D/etc and contacting someone if you like their work or just making a post about it if allowed, or a mastodon/microblog post with lots of related hashtags. Or if you really wanna widen the net, you can try looking on Twitter/Threads/Dribbble/etc. for people you like and contacting them.

I saw someone recommending Aether aside from Lemmy and Kbin, what is it ? googling Aether give me...

"According to ancient and medieval science, aether, also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. "

so yeah..

cutitdown,

@NormalTownLeader Hmm -- doesn't seem to me. They compare themselves to Reddit on their about page. I think it's just the fact that it is an app and has a similar layout to Discord that gives those vibes. The actual communities and posting style seem more Reddit/forum to me, or perhaps a hybrid of sorts.
