This is actually amazing. I’ve done a bit of editing as I play Pokémon Go which uses OSM for the background map. I got fed up of just looking at roads so I mapped in all the buildings, shops, parks etc near me.
This gamifies walking and exploring which I love!
I’ve always wondered, is this a drawing of the YouTuber NorthernLion?
I wonder if they would still be able to sell location data in aggregate?
I play Pokémon Go (yes that’s still a thing) and Niantic recently made a deal that they don’t sell individual location data which people have taken as they sell bulk location data instead (scrubbing data such as your name etc).
Is this what cracking Denuvo does to people?
It would be more wouldn’t it?
Total = Number of Instagram accounts + Threads only accounts
I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn’t have critical mass yet (and I’m not sure it will).
Relay too
Doesn’t this make NewPipe better in that instance? If it’s client side you aren’t going to be rate limited.
There is also a fork of NewPipe that integrates SponsorBlock (I don’t know if Piped has that).
What happens if you use SmartTubeNext on a TV? I’m assuming the interface wouldn’t support the 3 strike YouTube popup so I guess you’d just get blocked without knowing why?
I’m guessing ReVanced will support the pop up so you’d know.
Relay is still working for me, including NSFW content:
There are some fantastic apps being made right now though. For android I am following development for:
Connect
Jerboa
Liftoff
Thunder
Connect is only on Google Play, but the bottom 3 I keep updated using the Obtainium app which grabs the releases from GitHub (gets updates faster then waiting for Google Play).
Remember how long DivX/XviD hung on for, it’s all down to device compatibility.
They kind of work, you can see below that the content is not from those communities. I have to change the sort method to get the content, but the sort method is broken for me as I’m on lemmy.one which is not on v18:
I’m torn, on one hand this is hilarious and if they didn’t do this the admins would just change the moderators to someone who would run it. On the other hand, Reddit got what it wanted: the sub has reopened, posts are flowing, ads are being served and Reddit is making money.
If Beehaw has say the main gaming community, then that’s going to be subscribed from users from all different instances, so there will probably be more comments from non Beehaw users on there than Beehaw users.
Hopefully the main communities move out of Beehaw to an instance that doesn’t block large communities though.
That’s true, but they still serve different purposes, i.e. r/pcgaming is specific. Using that example, it’s not like we have r/gaming2 which serves the exact same purpose as r/gaming, and has a similar size user base.
I think things will settle as you say, but this isn’t a good start when the user base is exploding. I’m only just getting my head around it all and I’m a fairly tech minded person for someone who doesn’t work in the field. Something like this is just going to put a lot of people off, which is a shame.
I think fragmentation is more susceptible on Lemmy due to the instance design, i.e. there are unlimited instances on Lemmy, each with multiple communities (“subreddits”), but only one instance on Reddit. So there could be 100 c/gaming on Lemmy, but only one r/gaming on Reddit.
It could just be the subreddits I’m subscribed to, but I don’t have any fragmentation on there. The most fragmentation I have is something like r/games (discussion) and r/gaming (pictures), so they serve different purposes.
Maybe we are just seeing teething issues on Lemmy right now though, but seeing something like this is disappointing (spoken from someone who is on neither instance).
EDIT: spelling
Just reading through this post, I think it would be good for Lemmy to have a feature that shows users when writing a comment or post that it won’t be seen by users on X instance (in case lemmy.world users are not aware that beehaw.org has defederated them).
If they still go though with the comment or post, it would have an icon that if you hover over/click on it, it shows the communities that have defederated them or what the effect is (X users can’t see this post, Y users are not seeing the “True” post etc.)
I don’t think I’m explaining it well, but there needs to be some visual indication so anyone on any instance knows that a certain comment or post isn’t being seen by users of a certain instance or whatever - or maybe that isn’t feasible as there are certain instances that everyone would block.
Huh, that didn’t take long. Lemmy doesn’t have legs if this is the start of things (community fragmentation).
I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn’t transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.
Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven’t looked back.
