I’ve been using Clipgrab (macOS) to download music (mp3s) from YouTube. I’ve seen some mentions that the quality (real bitrate as opposed to what the file states) is bad to begin with on YouTube and that downloaders might make it worse. How bad is the quality of what I’m downloading? Any better downloaders or does the...
I’ve seen a few mentions of people feeling like they’re constantly seeing the same content when sorting by active, I’ve since moved to hot, and I’m having a much better time.
Most mature social networks do remove this information to prevent users accidentally sharing their locations. Can someone positively say whether Lemmy is aware enough to strip extra information from photos?
I like to follow articles benchmarking OSs on phoronix a lot. Whenever Arch looks bad I see comments riddled with saying that is because the default scheduler sucks. I feel fairly compitent with Linux but for some reason schedulers seemed like this black box that lives in the realm of places where I normally break my OS from not...
I see it as a win if all instances defederate with Threads but several “read-only” instances federates with it. At least it can be viewed in privacy friendly way.
So this is a weird thing I noticed recently: Whenever I send a group text to my siblings, if the text contains a link, they don’t receive the text. But they can get my group texts without links, and they can get messages with links if I send only to one person....
I recently got into the world of self-hosting, and although I’m doing it through a VPS I’ve learned many interesting things, even so, I’ve only had my VPS contracted for 10 days, and of those 10 days, 8 I spent burning my head learning concepts that I had never heard or understood, and actually it’s funny because I...
I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to...
The context is that I found out that Firefox stopped supporting MacOS Mojave and Sierra, and it seems to me that not long ago Google stopped supporting Chrome on Windows 7....
Hello All. I’m using IPTVnator on Linux and trying out both OTT Navigator IPTV and iMPlayer IPTV Player on Android but I’m wondering what everyone here uses.
So I saw a recent post on lemmy from admins of another instance, forgive me for not remembering which, where they posted a full transparency update on Meta requesting a meeting with the admins of that instance. The admins declined, and then shared the correspondence with their community via screenshots of the original email from...
Edit: TL;DR: I want to be a streamer and don’t know where to stream to...
Like many, when I heard about Folding@HOME and how I could contribute to the fight against COVID, I put my hardware to work. Now that’s it has been a while, what effect did those projects ultimately have on the outcome? Did it actually help with the creation of vaccines, or was it effectively just a massive waste of energy?
Sure, finding games on the high seas is easy enough on my windows machine, but if I’m on my linux partition and want to play a game that would otherwise work if I bought it in Steam with proton, how would I go about getting the game to run?
Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both....
Following up on a recent post on Distrobox…...
My job is so fucking unbelievable....
Afaik, whenever an Activitypub instance has defederated from another it has always had to do with some combination of bad user behavior, poor moderation, and/or spam. Are the various instance admins who have decided to preemptively block threads.net simply convinced that these traits will be inevitable with it? Is it more of a...
I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven’t seen it once.
