I might be a nerd…

Probably don’t count on it going away until the current LLM bubble pops

The damage is permanently done, people have gone to alternatives and won’t come back

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to eventually find a FOSS/open replacement for the Jawg thing?

On Android i use Perfect Viewer, and on Linux i use Mcomix straight off the APT repositories. Quite willing to switch if better alternatives appear though.

Since you mentioned it days ago I’ve been thinking it, would i be OK with those if the sound was normalized? Been actually checking it, normalizing audio on clips and seeing if i am now OK with those. And the answer continues to be a no. Why? Because IT’S AN AD. It’s an ad for the enshittified, cancerous social media platform it came from. Put creator watermarks in the video itself like so many already do, then chop off those COMPLETELY unnecessary ads for tikitocs or Zuckergram, and we’ll be better off and missing nothing.

I can think of one: it’s FUCKING annoying, I’d be quite fine with the creator watermark in the video itself (and many do so), but that extra tacked-on logo clip, usually at 2-3 times the volume of the clip itself, is EXTREMELY annoying, i understand what you say but this is also a legitimate reason

Same, been going through my backlog and only rarely adding to it, although the Humble Choice subscription which i still can make myself leave keeps growing it slowly 😅

It’s email, that’s the best you can get with email, if you want to have more privacy, DON’T USE EMAIL

I will defend the Free Software movement, but Stallman? Nah

I hate that this happens, because he’s a goddamned prophet when it comes to software freedom, the harms of proprietary dev models and related stuff, he’s also in mastodon and regularly posts about international news i see no one else mention, but damn there’s just no coming back from all this shit, how the hell would you share stuff he has said with all this gross stuff staining him? Goddammit, Stallman, you were supposed to be at least an OK person!

I like Snikket as a solution to this

Snikket is an attempt to solve the XMPP issues, or at least to reduce them, single all-in-one XMPP server distro and clients across platforms, and since it’s self-hosted no one should get their hands on your data (in normal circumstances).

That said, the saying goes “Perfect is the enemy of Good”. Just because a solution is not perfect doesn’t make it unusable, any of those options you mention full of problems are a helluva better than FB Messenger or plain SMS for example. Depending on your threat model they might be more than enough.

Okay, i chuckled at this one

Heh, hadn’t seen KDE like this in ages, it’s been a while

They do, one with them at the top

In that line, is there an open standards, no Google required answer to the Chromecast?

Well, you’re on Lemmy, one of a gazillion examples of this working

Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it

They bought an ads company AFTER this person took the reins
