In case you're mad at yourself for closing your precious window with all the right tabs opened, note that Firefox allows to reopen recently closed windows (jlai.lu)

I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

vintprox,

How do you people make the screenshots of popups in Firefox? Every time I press Print Screen they just keep fading away.

vintprox,

Sending a tinsy-winsy appreciation to how you handle this dialog. Smooth. 🎩

vintprox,

In the Soviet Russia, bees are cooking you.

vintprox,

Yep! The same image flashed back in my mind.

Seeing a lot of outdated apps being recommended, is that safe?

I’ve come to realize that a lot of foss android apps are pretty outdated and usually abandoned. Is that even safe to use? Like even the fdroid archive repository, are those safe to use? I’m still rather new to the foss world, but in my mind it seems a very outdated app is probably not safe or am I missing something here?

vintprox, (edited )

I look at the latest release date. At leisure time, I would also go and check repository and issue tracker to see whether something serious is being ignored. If it’s crucial for business, I would spare time investigating the source code itself.

I would not necessarily say that many apps uploaded to F-Droid and other repositories are unsafe, because I don’t have all that energy to audit anything I use. What helps me to stay on the safe side is reading into things - enclosed descriptions and names may look like a small factor to some, once they tread the sources, but it saves me both the time and trouble. Sloppily written stuff usually implies a sloppy code, a lax attention to details on the developer’s side.

vintprox,

Wherever the app’s code is on. I usually go around finding the link in the store page or through the search engine. Most of the time, they end up on GitHub and GitLab, sometimes on Codeberg or other instance.

Paranoid section ahead: Don’t blindly trust the issues list, closed or open, because there are still ways to permanently delete those, hence giving bad actor a way to hide evidence of the on-going security problem.

vintprox,

Is this a TAWoG reference?

SPA ce bo

vintprox,

Wow, toxic.

vintprox,

Wow, that’s quite useful.

vintprox,

Uhm, no, I don’t believe we need a yet another Reddit cross-poster infringing on everyone else’s content.

vintprox,

Kill it with fire!!!1

vintprox,

Tfw you catch 'em doing bad with CSS.

vintprox,

180 * pi? That’s a lotta rotate 💀

vintprox,

Wait, so, it’s supposed to be time-limited?

PeerTube has a federation problem

With the mass migrations of Reddit users to Lemmy/Kbin, and Twitter now speedrunning its own mass extinction, it seems me that the eventual future of social media is de-centralized. I like how Lemmy is slowing turning out, even if it still has some work to do and growing pains to fix up. It’s still able to inform me of all of...

vintprox,

I observed the same segmentized silos problem a little while ago. Initial reach is SOOOO much harder when federation doesn’t work.

Reach is there only when some popular tech vblogger appears, like The Linux Experiment on TILvids - and that’s it. Most people are there for that channel and that channel only (Nick’s done a good job at promoting it, as we see), which must mean the impression other parts leave on a viewer is considerably worse.

vintprox,

TILvids is like your average overprotective uncle…

vintprox,

Dio + Giorno 😅

vintprox,

Someone could make WikiHow out of this.

vintprox,

Decades of browser engineering have failed us… This day came.

vintprox,

This behavior can be disabled, right? … Right?

vintprox,

This is so OOC. Make more.

vintprox,

Inverse Kunematics

vintprox,

Yes, Granny.

vintprox,

Mastodon, an alternative social network to Twitter

Not reading what’s next. Probably, some bull.

vintprox,

All the hype is gone already and I’m invested in the more grounded Minetest.

vintprox,

Teachings of Nihilism have saved countless lives, I believe. And it’s not like they are ought to poison the brain: often than not, it’s just the tool to get out of stalemate.

vintprox,

Is it meant to show that the bird is mercilessly murdered?

vintprox,

I definitely remember seeing someone on YouTube sewing after using some built-in Inkscape extension to optimize route and color switches. It was pretty surprising to find such tutorials.

vintprox,

It’s never “[Solved]”, LOL.

vintprox,

Yeah, well, it will be unsolved again and again, because that’s the nature of servers - they experience downtime. I’m just looking ahead of myself and how badly this tag will age for some, haha.

vintprox,

Take an advantage of the confusion - take the largest.

vintprox,

Wait, NPCs have a power to go through the props. It’s something I learned from Half-Life 2.

vintprox,

Either are awful parking spots for bikes, but serves them right.

vintprox,

It’s not like the person taking this photo left their bike for a while.

vintprox,

I don’t think OP needed to give a damn while posting this, plus it was pointed out already.

vintprox,

I dunno: laws, other consequences?

vintprox,

The matter of perspective, amirite? 🥁

vintprox,

Newcomers to Lemmy, I ask you- to not scale images just to upload them in bad quality to make someone’s eyes sore.

What are your thoughts on this declaration of open philosophy? (Anytype opening repos) (github.com)

Anytype is a PKMS, basically an advanced note taking app for building a second brain, managing tasks - managing life basically. They’ve recently “open sourced” but I’m not well versed enough to know the implications of what they’ve done here with their licensing. The only comment on this discussion shows disappointment...

vintprox,

Thom Zane has pointed out that Anytype’s license has a non-commercial clause. Well, I think it’s only natural for an EVERYTHING app. Just the thought of it being sublicensed and changed in many ways to being sold as an “exclusive” app, it doesn’t leave my mind. There’s just a problem with differentiating if something is commercial or not sometimes.

Obviously, it doesn’t fit the “open source” criteria, but it doesn’t need to be - if you only want to change source code in few places and not offer it in exchange for something.

vintprox,

It is rare that everything app like this has a source code available to public. I’m immediately hooked, as someone who can’t wrap his head around making custom views in Obsidian and its open source alternatives. (For the love of Pete, frontmatters are just too demanding on syntax department!) Fork, stat! 😃

License doesn’t seem to step on your toes as long as you don’t distribute Anytype in exchange for something (w/ or w/o modifications).

vintprox,

Wait, there is such a button? 😳 It must be so useless to me that my brain is rePRESSing it, huh. 🤭

vintprox,

Really? Good on you!

Now, this is some effect of memes. Don’t underestimate the power of fiction. 💪😀

vintprox,

literally how?

vintprox,

I don’t if, but soooo much crashes surely should trigger some response in people, especially when they go out of their way to work on some “real time” codebase, tasks requiring even a pinch of synchronization.

vintprox,

I really appreciate that this game has movement from keyboard. Saved me a bunch of clicking and the experience was nice!

Fun characters and worldbuilding. Doing these quests felt very true to the plot, everything looks internalized and, in some places, eye-opening. Little foreshadowing here and there: Domino’s lax attitude, Olivia’s final poem, blooming in the morgue, etc.

I even got hands on some early storyboard, where there were plans to do final locations more grand and the myrriad of possibilities that could come out of it, but I still like how it turned out despite some rethinking and cutting. For me, the ending section was fittingly grim.

vintprox,
