Watching it now, but this is an update to the previous well known video from 2014

Is there a good way to sync listening history between platforms? That seems to be a big reason why people have a hard time jumping around between platforms

It’s like one of those parking lot emptying puzzles

None that I’m currently aware of

There is random.org which could work in the meantime

Some thoughts

• since there can be federation issues, having a bot confirm entries would be helpful. For example, replying to every comment, sending a DM, or having a public list of usernames somewhere

This was actually an important point in the article, I should have included it in the post

Dror Baron, an NCSU professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, wrote on X, “A professor I know died following various investigations. I know the people mentioned here, and call for a transparent and independent investigation.”

So far, that investigation has not been forthcoming. University spokesperson Mick Kulikowski declined to comment to The Technician about Brain’s death or the allegations. To date, the university has not issued a public statement about Brain’s death.

They’re also involved in Fediverse development, they made Mobilizon as an event management platform

There was a kurzgesagdt video related to this, discussing a few perspectives

Could it help with internal tasks, like self-hosted services or a business that transfers files around a lot?

Wow that’s really cool!

Well, there are some things wrong with it though?

It’s possible to criticize both Mastodon and Bluesky for their respective issues

As a follow-up, if you have people on Bluesky you want to follow, go for it :) Community is important

There is also a mastodon bluesky bridge that some people use to access both

I talked about it in this comment, which should hopefully still be recent enough to be accurate

It’s still too soon to tell what they will do. It’s totally possible that they will take the necessary steps to be properly decentralized by transferring control of the registry + protocol to an independent non profit.

Right now I feel that they don’t have much of an incentive to do that, since the vast majority of their users won’t care.

I would love to be proven wrong

Cool :)

Fontsource is a collection of open-source fonts that are packaged into individual NPM packages for self-hosting in your web applications. This documentation outlines the benefits of using Fontsource and how to get started. Advantages

1. Performance - Self-hosting fonts can significantly improve website performance by eliminating the extra latency caused by additional DNS resolution and TCP connection establishment that is required when using a CDN like Google Fonts. This can help to prevent doubled visual load times for simple websites, as benchmarked here and here.

2. Version Locking - Fonts remain version locked. Google often pushes updates to their fonts without notice, which may interfere with your live production projects. Manage your fonts like any other NPM dependency.

3. Privacy - Commit to privacy. Google does track the usage of their fonts and for those who are extremely privacy concerned, self-hosting is an alternative.

4. Offline - Your fonts load offline. This feature is beneficial for Progressive Web Apps and situations where you have limited or no access to the internet.

5. Additional Fonts - Support for fonts outside the Google Font ecosystem. This repository is constantly evolving with other Open Source fonts. Feel free to contribute!

Sounds similar to the case with Jellyfin & Findroid (and likely Swiftfin)

The official Jellyfin app has full functionality, but it feels clunky. Especially for casual users.

The native third party app is smooth, intuitive, and visually nice, but is missing a few features (ex. Admin dashboard).

What I’ve seen recommended was:

• Findroid (and likely Swiftfin) for daily use
• Keep the official Jellyfin app installed for when it is needed

I’m not aware of any other privacy issues past that, but I’d worry about getting more spam by engaging with them

It’s not supposed to be since the rules say

Things that don’t fit

• Minor app updates
• Government legislation
• Company news
• Opinion pieces

I’ll report the post and see what the mods do, likely they didn’t see it yet

This seems like an area where there’s demand for a carefully moderated community, even if there is less content over all. That might help with the state of tech news that other comments are mentioning

uBlock Origin is the main one

Search by Image and Web Archives are two others that I like to have on mobile

I’d love to learn some more as well :)
