Oh yeah, that history search is absolute garbage and has been so for a few years now, it’s sometimes easier to do a normal YT search, i’ve been tempted many times to do a periodic Takeout and use the result to do a proper local search, but honestly feels like too much work for the purpose

Isn’t that the PineTime? Or am i mistaken in that somehow?

Yet it still must be done

This site is in the US, is there a mirror for if/when they decide to target it?

As someone who hasn’t used any of the advanced Discord features (audio/video/streaming), and neither has really tried Revolt, how far along is it these days? I heard it was aiming for 100% feature parity but was behind in those advanced ones, but that was some years ago and haven’t kept up, it would be very good if it was at least at “acceptable” level in all those by the time Discord goes IPO

First i hear of this one, interesting, how far along is it?

Never say never, once Discord goes IPO and the enshittification goes bad enough to annoy gamers Discord is fucked, and Revolt is a drop-in replacement, the fact that it can be self-hosted will also be a plus for some people, mass migrations are rare but they DO happen

Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does, we have used this tech enough to know that it very much does not do what they say it can do

Too damn bad then, hopefully this will help

And a sea mine? 😂

This right here, this isn’t conscientious analysis of tech and intellectual honesty or whatever, it’s a calculated shot at it’s competitors who are desperately trying to prevent the generative AI market house of cards from falling

I suggest you subscribe to Cory Doctorow’s and Ed Zitron’s mailing lists, those are two people that regularly write about those people and what are they up to

The only other alternative is Chrome-based browsers, you know, the browser made by the gigantic ad company

Noted! Need to see if it has an easy way to migrate from Firefox

Thing is, a well configured Linux system will just work, and continue to work for the foreseeable future. You have zero guarantee of this with Windows.

After being in tech for like 30 years, i’d say that every OS sucks, but the way they suck and the intensity of said sucking is very much not the same across them. Linux VERY MUCH has issues, yes, but most of the time they’re in your power to diagnose and fix, in Windows the main troubleshooting advice has remained mostly the same across decades, the 3 R’s, Reboot, Reinstall, Reformat, because many times you just don’t know and CANNOT know what went wrong.

Already done

SHIIIIIIKAAAAA

This worries me, i can see the new owners killing the Community edition and/or enshittifying the software to uselessness. Do we have a FOSS alternative that does the whole CI/CD pipeline too?
