Some of the good one are in German. They do have subtitles I think tho or even separate audio tracks. However this year it felt like there were quite a lot in English.

I think this is the normal instance behavior of Lemmy instances. It would be too much load for small instances to sync everything in the fediverse. Instead a member of your instance needs to first manually find a community before it starts tracking and makes it automatically available to the other instance members from there on.

Few weeks ago I saw a really cool presentation about the history and current state of Linux phone. It is unfortunately in German, slides in English though: https://youtu.be/JeFoRE72Gu0

you certainly have very strong opinions about something you can’t exactly remember. It’s ok to be wrong though we won’t hold it against you :-)

Well you have your “home” lemmy instance which you are logged in to. Everything you see goes through your home instance. But many things you will see originate on a completely different “remote” instance. Your home instamce nees to be federated and synced in order to the everything that happens in the remote/origin instance

Some years ago I heard about this German guy that found a mind boggling bug in Xerox scanners and the whole story how they tried to play it down is really insane. So definitely worth watching, unfort only with German audio: https://youtu.be/7FeqF1-Z1g0

apparently they added that feature in June, very interesting. As free user u only get a light version though: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/8590148-memory-faq

it’s called agile xD

Not sure why u only mention iMessage, but it also works fine in Signal and other messaging apps 👌

that is how I started 6 months ago, but then I noticed how awfully outdated all the packages are. As I wanted to use it for gaming I’d like to have the latest drivers and latest Steam, and a modern wayland window manager etc. which is why I am now on Fedora and am very happy so far. Good luck on your journey.

I agree but it’s still in an early development state. Not really usable for everyday work let alone most people never heard about it 😅 But yeah still cool to mention it under “modern” browsers. I wish them good luck with the first alpha next year. I hope it’ll be successful.

you even mention ladybird as browser, nice 😎

lets delay the birth a bit 😅, tell us when re-birth is happening

I have Pixeld Android 16 and there I can still diasable every pre-installed app directly in the app settings. Also you could just go to the “open by default” settings of the app an set it to back to “browser” this way yt videos you click will not open the app anymore but the browser.

I think when you disable yt you can even got to the NewPipe app settings and enbaled it to be opened by default for each yt link and many more are supported by the app.

Also the youtube app is very usable with premium obviously. So in case you want to try it out but want it cheaper you could try the vpn trick an buy premium from a “low cost” country. Unfortunately google is fighting is actively and for most countries you’d need a credit card from that country. However Poland still worked for me for example and it’t still almost half the price therr.

it’s being answered in the github thread you linked. Sorry that this is not enough for you but it’s enough for most people: “For people who are concerned about this sort of thing, you can enable sealed sender indicators in the settings”

The amount of trolls in this thread that either try to spew false information intentionally or just have idea what they are talking about is insane.

If you are worried about what data (including your phone number) law enforcement can recieve (if they have your specific user ID, which is not equal to your phone number) from the Signal company check this: https://propertyofthepeople.org/document-detail/?doc-id=21114562 Tldr: It’s the date of registration and last time user was seen online. No other information, Signal just doesn’t have any other and this is by design.

If you want to know more about how they accomplish that feat you can check out the sealed sender feature: https://nerdschalk.com/what-is-sealed-sender-in-signal-and-should-you-enable-it/

or the private contact discovery system: https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/

Also as Signal only requires a valid phone number for registration you might try some of these methods (not sure if they still work): https://theintercept.com/2024/07/16/signal-app-privacy-phone-number/

Idk man some here might begin to think you have a drug problem and sexual uncertainty on top. No judging tho
