Spite: The greatest motivator!

Received a share.google link and checked what it did: It redirects to something with URL format “https://www.google.com/share.google?q=SOME_CODE”, which is a normal page that IS the target as far as curl and such tools are concerned but redirects on the browser probably using Javascript, so it will not redirect it with our normal tools. It will need custom code or Javascript execution. So, they knew what they were doing and used their powers for evil, as they usually do now.

I was hoping for a self-hosted resource, not a remote API, since this is the Selfhosted community

It is not enough for the increasingly common share.google links for example, and i bet there’s more like this

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
