Ctrl+F Deckard - 0 results
does author know about the Deckard thing that Valve is supposedly working on?
from what I understand, it will be some kind of Steam Machine with focus on In-Home Streaming.

testman ,

ah, ok, I was thinking of "Galileo":

testman ,

there is a channel in AF Discord
and there is !accursed_farms, but there is not much going on in there.

testman ,

doesn’t Steam Hardware Survey report way higher percentage of Linux users?

(Statista, Blackdown)

wouldn’t Valve’s numbers be more reliable?

Funny how people tend to quote Linus Torvalds on technical issues in order to prove a point. I hear the guy barely made it through college.

Actually, I lied about even that. I was thrown out of fourth grade because I couldn’t write my own name, and it’s been all downhill from there. I had to lie about getting into college just so that I’d have better chances of making a career here at McDonalds - if you have a college degree (or you lied about having one), they don’t make you scrape the burger pans.

heh, he had good sense of humour already back in 1999

Open source Linktree Alternatives? ( supermeter.social )

Hey all, I've been using Singlelink for a while now as an open source alternative to Linktree. Issue with it has been that development has been incredibly slow, and now it's completely unreliable for me as my page now gives a 403 and my account no longer works for unknown reasons....

testman ,

I just have a HedgeDoc presentation and a subdomain on some public FreeDNS domain:
testman.kak.si

testman ,

there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it
github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/
fed.brid.gy

testman ,

this is what open source dialer app died for?

testman ,

Yes, and there are probably other FOSS applications for that as well.
But it is a bit sad to see that Google considers the “phone” part of the “smartphone” be so obscure functionality that they left it’s development to community.
Maybe I should stop living in the past and just accept that the glowing rectangle that we carry around is actually a tiktok machine that can occasionally do some other stuff as well.

testman ,

OH REALLY?

heh, good one

testman ,

Does Organic Maps support it?

testman ,

Is this the “agile” development methodology that I heard so much about?

testman ,

Your post is missing the most important information that you wanted to share

testman ,

Problem is that the whole concept of advertising is “telling other people what to do”.

  • People use Google.
  • Google tells people to use Chrome
  • Chrome becomes most popular browser
  • Chrome removes the " this site has RSS" icon from URL bar
  • People forget that RSS is a thing
  • People now rely on Google News and other biased sites to get information
  • biased sites tell people what to do

RSS is freedom
go tell other people to use it
also Lemmy RSS community

testman ,

sup dawg, heard you like advertisments

Do you know of any online solutions for creating forms (open-source if possible) that have an API for generating unique links to the same form? @opensource

testman ,

Something like Cryptpad Form?

Alternative github frontends?

Github has become more bloated, slower and more user-hostile with each update (just like all other big corp platforms). SPA navigation slow like hell, the “new” file viewer/browser is hardly usable in my opinion, code search does not work without login, etc. So are there any good alternative FE where the following work (read...

testman ,

GotHub seems to display basic GitHub stuff decently well.
gh.whateveritworks.org

testman ,

so this is similar to LibRedirect?
github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
libredirect.github.io
check out this list of privacy frontends and see if you can implement any of them in Predirect

Also, I see that you only handle one instance for redirect. Either the default instance or custom instance.
Consider implementing multiple instances. Here is list of instances that LibRedirect uses:
raw.githubusercontent.com/…/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
raw.githubusercontent.com/…/services-full.json

Both LibRedirect and Farside still have to deal with the rate-limiting problem with Youtube and Reddit and I assume other sites as well. Invidious instance or Teddit instance can be rate-limited, resulting in video not playing or post not showing up.
If your extension does not distribute user traffic across multiple instances, then I assume that your chosen instances will get hammered into ratelimit even faster than other instances.
So consider thinking about solution for this.
One of suggestions that I like is to allow user to provide an URL to a list of instances.
That way, someone or some automated system can periodically compose a list of instances and users can “subscribe” to that list.

Also some useful links:
