It had a verified version on flathub

I think the fediverse does have a privacy problem, however as long as your account can’t be linked to you (malicious instance, your email being breached) it doesn’t matter all that much (at least for my threat level) because the info is confined to the fediverse, where little can be done with it, especially if you swap instances/accounts commonly. Yes, one could create a profile on you based on what you upvote/downvote, but they can’t for example use that to serve targeted ads, because the fediverse doesn’t have a ad network and when visiting other sites they can’t associate your profile with you (assuming you don’t reuse your username), unless I am forgetting something.

tldr: The fediverse isn’t private, but the data is practically useless

I needed this right now, thanks

Which clients do you recommend for IOS?

How it works: I don’t know about this service in particular, but usually the shared contains the encryption key so like this: example.com/files/file_id/encryption_key or something similar

As for trust: This appears to be a individual, so you will have to just trust it when using the public instance. However, since it is FOSS, you can audit the code and spin up your own instance

Privacy wise it very much is still Firefox with different defaults (telemetry disabled, do not track enabled), the changes to upstream are mainly the UI and some performance enhancements

If you look at the description you can see that they clearly say that it isn’t official:

NOTE: This is an unofficial and experimental Flatpak build based on Android Translation Layer. Please report bugs to the ATL bug tracker instead of the NewPipe bug tracker https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/-/issues.

Don’t know why they’d put “Developer of the Newpipe app” as dev though

Answer of Bitwarden founder:

Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

1. the SDK and the client are two separate programs

2. code for each program is in separate repositories

3. the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

Care to share what parental control you are using on Linux?

Linux ISOs obviously./s

On a more serious note: if you are downloading public domain movies or similar from the internet archive a download manager really helps.

Looks good, but too bad it’s not on flathub but that’s to be expected if the Linux version is still in beta. I’ll stick to Varia until then.

For example “yt-dlp select resolution” or “yt-dlp audio only”. There are some more, it feels like the pages I mentioned are just generally ranked higher.

Also really appreciate the dedication, I think Mojeek is probably the only search engine that listens this much to user feedback. Is there a Lemmy community or something similar where one kann submit queries like these?

The searches I have trouble with are mainly support for software. For example, searching for “Kdenlive audio visualizer” results in a Kdenlive tutorial that has nothing to do with audio visualization, Kdenlive release notes and a link to a no longer available Kdenlive docs page. Searching for most stuff with “yt-dlp” will result in the top pages being the alternativeto.net page and some other pages like the GitHub topic that don’t help with the problem at all. While most of the time when trying to get software support you will find a solution, but you will have to search a lot harder. Still, I’m amazed at how much the results improved since my prior use of Mojeek. If it continues to improve like that I’ll definitely give it another go.

AFAIK the Lutris devs are working on integrating umu into Lutris, not sure about bottles though

According to a AI it’s not:

The article appears to be written by a human, but it incorporates elements generated by AI tools. The author mentions using two AI tools, Midjourney and ChatGPT, to help generate ideas and images for Halloween decorating.

I made this post a while ago, some parts aren’t correct anymore but it’s still pretty good. I use DuckDuckGo because I rely heavily on its image search filters, but I’m trying to move to a multi engine system. That will likely involve 4get because it’s FOSS and Brave because they have their own index that actually isn’t bad (Brave will be more of a backup solution).

I had used it for some time, but the results were really bad. They have gotten much better, but be aware that you will need to use other search engines. Privacy wise they do collect some basic information such as what you search for and what browser you’re using, but they don’t collect your IP so that it shouldn’t be associatable to you and they never share this info. To my knowledge they have not been involved in any big controversy’s so far.

Personally I use Kasts, it’s the default for KDE and just works, but Podcasts also is nice and looks more like Musicpod.

Download Flatseal and make sure the app has the permission to access the network

I have a WebOS tv and the answer is: just don’t. It’s open source in a similar way Android is, spy’s on you, has way less apps available and can’t/is really bad at basic shit
