I am all in favor for spreading donations across many - especially smaller - projects. I think that there are two levels to donations:

• The monetary one. Donating helps fund development either by paying for a full-time dev or by helping the dev stay financially stable to do a bit less work hours so they have time for the project.
• The psychological one. Most people that publish their code online are not expecting this to become big. And when a stranger from the internet appreciates their code enough for a donation this is a huge motivational factor.

I even tend to think that donating 5€ more to GIMP is less valuable than giving the money to some random project.

Interesting read!

Thank you for putting in this amount of effort highlighting some shortcomings of the Fediverse

YT links without post body? Not clicking on that. This is not helpful for discussion, just kinda spam.

Linux Deepin 23

What even is a “Linux Deepin”? Seems like the editor never interacted with GNU+Linux before.

[…] [D]esktops could learn from [distro].

🤡

But Linux consists of more than 1 GUI?

I disagree with the other poster. Work isn’t (shouldn’t be) a place that is disjoint from the rest of our time. Making such an effort can be worth :)

No, sporadic bugfixes if the “maintainers” feel like it. It’s dead. See https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/

Stop recommending OnlyOffice.

Rather skill than distro

I have the same setup with SE working. Why does it fail to run on your system? Did you install protontricks like it said in the MO2 installer readme?

I hope that you will never publish a book.

How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn’t.

I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.

But the same holds for regression, which you seem to favour. So why do you feel that regression is so much better than classification (which is, when combined with a confidence score, basically regression)?

I disagree. Classification in combintion wo ith a confidence score is a viable use case for AI.

No matter how you extract the code, this will be hacky. The problem with this approach is that you are entirely dependent on the YouTube backend. They will not notify you when they change their code/API. They will not comment their code.

In the past, this has led to a considerable development investment of projects like NewPipe where they have to fix somethong every few months as there is a backend change.

I am still thinking about your problem, but I am unsure whether the approach of extracting from JS works (mid term).

Why not do the steps you outlined above as a macro on your keyboard? This eliminates the need for JS. To extract the video URL, you could use some RegEx automatically or Ctrl+F. Just some thoughts. I am still invested into this weird request :)

I have a lot of university stuff going on but I will try in the next week or so. If I don’t respond, DM me.

Thanks, will check it out :)

Sounds cool, where do I best keep up with the project? Is there some RSS feed?

To add on to that: Obsidian is the only program that currently has this (to my knowledge) and it is a huge gamechanger. It just feels so much more usable than anything with a source and preview view. [I’m not demanding or anything, this is the stuff you do in your freetime, but you might want to go down that road.]
