Thanks for this comment. It makes me understand better how it could be used (never saw the need myself, even when I was on Whatsapp. I probably too old)

I disabled that feature as soon as it appeared (the less I use a messaging app, the best it is) and forgot about it. Your comment makes me curious: I do really wonder how this feature is used. Signal announced it was really something users

Take your point to its extreme conclusion and you will reinvent Gemini. That’s why I like Gemini so much (and developed my own command line browsers which display the content of a web page in the terminal without caring about CSS/color

Peertube allows you to mirror a Youtube channel so, at the very least, creators could already create a Peertube mirror of their own content with very few effort. Peertube also allows to proeminently display a configurable "support&quot

Peertube is to Youtube what Mastodon is to Twitter. But better because Peertube is compatible with Mastodon and any ActivityPub app. You can subscribe to a channel from your mastodon account.

There are multiple Firefox’s extensions redirecting Youtube to alternative frontends, including with embedded videos. Some are even balancing automatically.

I don’t have a reddit account nor a lemmy one but good luck, your project is much needed!

I also use libredirect but it has this annoying bug where the reddit redirect will randomly stop working and the only way to solve it is to completely uninstall the extension (not only disabling) then reinstall. But I can’t stand anymore to

Those problems are unavoidable in a monoculture. Worst, we are trying to adress them by putting more power on the monopoly in charge.

Some, like myself, find the mouse really painful to use and hate graphical interfaces when you have to randomly click to find something (while you can read a man page, grep through it and then automatize the process in custom scripts). But

I had the exact opposite experience. I’ve never managed to understand how to all those things, always switching between github web UI, github tools, command-line github. Everything was a mess. Then I left github for sourcehut and managed to

It is sad because I was interested but my first thought was "if you can’t make a basic usable webpage, how can I trust you to make a minimal usable operating system". And I closed the tab.

If I understand this right, it is basically "cloudfare will appear like a huge web server for anybody watching". This looks like one more attempt by cloudfare to recentralize the web. And it doesn’t address the issue that cloudfar

Exactly. Is it your business to track people? There’s 90% chance that no, it’s not your business. There’s also a lot of chances that your website is about a product. In which case, it doesn’t make sense to know how many people come and read

TED is a well-oiled feel good scam that pretends that you can learn something that will change your life/your mind by watching a 15 minutes video. It has managed to instill in the popular culture that those videos are educational. No,

Thanks. Many thanks. The problem is that "innovation is driven by profits" is a religious credo at least in the USA. If you’ve ever read Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, you would laugh at how silly it is, how transparently absurd the
