It should be forked under a new name soon enough

For example, Mull is also by Divested Computing Group and this should be the new project for it

The Mozilla guide agrees

Apple and Nvidia Shield are better about it than Roku/Fire

I think this might be the self hosted guide?

I should have linked those, thank you!

There are a few browser extensions that can detect RSS feeds, which can help when they’re not advertised openly

Past that, this add-on was decent:

It does help with it though

For profit platforms have more of an incentive to keep the bots going, for engagement reasons. Non profit managed ones should want to get rid of such bots?

Well, whatsapp has stories also, but I don’t see people using them. I don’t like to give my phone number to everybody. And it is very easy if someone has a profile, to look them up and send a follow request. That stuff you won’t find with signal stories.

That’s a good reason yea

Though, pixelfed lacking stories should be possible to overcome right, given the protocol. If two users can handshake, and the instances accept the handshake, then they should in theory be allowed to send each other stuff. Like, in other fediverse platforms you can also send private messages

The problem I think is that we can’t guarantee that the other federated instances will respect the private setting, or the risk that other instance admins might be snooping on the posts.

A proper E2E solution would be ideal

Part of the problem is that pixelfed feeds are public, and in order for private posts/feeds to work you’d need the other user to be on the same instance as you

Signal has stories, although I don’t see many people using them. If more people were on signal, it might get more use?

Interesting ok, I hope the donations take off because it felt like the team was spreading itself too thin working on all three things at once

Didn’t know about sup

Open source, modular, instant messenger. Coming soon! Made by @dansup (Proof: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/111493816842232424)

A big downside to fediverse messaging is that it isn’t secure, and so we’re warned when using it. Would anyone have more details on why we might use this over a more private messenger?

It would be nice to have a decent FOSS video editor on android

ImageToolbox is solid now on the image editing side, having something similar for videos would be excellent

For what it’s worth, there are a good number of younger users here but I don’t think people go around advertising it.

As for your question, you could try the more specific meme communities? For example

!bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world

I went in with a similar thought, but the video explained it better

I was expecting them to compete against a rapper or something, but what they meant was being faster than conversational speeds

Someone who is mute explained to them about not being able to communicate at the same rate as other people during conversation, despite being able to think and absorb info at the same speed.

So they put some time into recommendations of a text-to-voice setup, demo-ed it in the video, and put the source CAD files / app open for people to use + offered to help anyone else for whom the tech might change their lives

I’m not sure if the keyboard will catch on, but I thought that attempt was cool

We believe that the washing machine is the hearth of the modern laundry room

I was going to try and edit in some more "AI"s but it’s already near saturated

They even changed their name to SoundHound AI?

The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

Ok now that’s cool. Since it’s often all doom and gloom here, celebrating good tech is a nice change :)

I looked up “Parent AI”, and was disappointed

To those down voting:

CBC’s About That series is excellent at doing a deep dive on an issue. It makes it easier to discuss the topics with other people

Trump is wrong, and it’s helpful to know why

This is especially true with the RSS feed communities

Also I don’t think you’re the only one. Often when I come across a clump like that, most of them are sitting at only a few upvotes while other posts in the community do much better.
