ncmpcpp has come closest to feature parity with Foobar2000, but I just wish there was a much more vi-oriented fork of it or something.

The fact that they play this off as their own blunder just makes it all seem even worse.

I have to say “bickering” is a dubious reason for a ban when there are people in here that respond to anything against their views with heavy sardonicism, degrading the quality of conversation immediately. Yet nothing is done to it.

Where did you find these details?

Not in the near future.

Relinquishing seems obvious, yes, especially considering their ambition on joining the EU.

Unfortunately I think it will have to be made to foster communities, especially hobbyist communities the way Reddit does.

Interestingly only in effect during the martial law, an apparent move to prevent a forced puppet government (hence severing all links to Russia). Strikes as a very anti-democratic move, but hard to believe any of this would remain in effect for long post war.

We’re not even at feature parity. Wikis are something that communities use extensively and I do think growth requires Lemmy to provide an alternative to that. Improving on Reddit isn’t as straightforward as improving Twitter, but sharing the burden of hosting costs and maintenance via proper decentralization, we could for example bring Reddit’s paywalled features over to Lemmy without any ads or payments.

Lemmy.ml emails have not worked for a very long time due to the domain being on some spam list. My account has also been inaccessible because of this for probably close to a year now.

Even if this is true, it does seem to me like any democratic process was skipped entirely.

In what way?

It’s obviously not indicative of the population as a whole, but the Finnish subreddit is inundated with people calling to join NATO immediately. A lot of people saying they’ve changed their minds. The opposition is by far the lowest it has ever been (gallup before today’s news, still mostly opposed to joining) and no doubt a lot of the politicians are thinking the same things, even if only a few are saying it out loud.

“Ukrainian invasion”? There really should be a rule against editorializing headlines.

I’ve always had them off, and even after 10+ years I make the same amount of typos. I make almost no typos on a Japanese kana flick keyboard, and I’m wondering if I should get a flick keyboard on all languages and relearn typing on the phone like I did on desktop when I ditched qwerty.

Thanks, I’ll bookmark it for later!

Unsure what went wrong on my end, but I spent a good 5h trying to get the native LSP implementation running, and the only language that worked wasn’t installed by Nvim Lsp Installer. Figured I’ll cut my losses and allow CoC’s bloat in to my life until I’m able to have a second go at it.

Yeah, almost everything really is a UX problem after Spaces fixed the community limitations. Element still desperately needs a UX overhaul.

E: Matthew’s comments also frustrate me as it’s apparent that no one in the Matrix team has actively used Discord and understand what it does right. Otherwise there’s no way the git issue would have been ignored for 5 years.

Lack of dedicated voice channels is a massive dealbreaker for almost anyone wanting to migrate over from Discord. We all know all the things Discord does wrong, but some desing decisions like dedicated channels really should just be copied over.

Nothing wrong with it, I think the development has just stalled.

Are they actually working on dedicated voice channels? This issue on it has been locked 1,5 years ago stating they don’t have the resources to do it, indicating it’s a very low priority issue them.

Good to know.

One column that should be added is IME support. Kitty, for example, is a very capable terminal emulator, but has big issues with Chinese/Korean/Japanese input, rendering it unusable for a large portion of potential users.

One possibility is to just use NewPipe. You can listen to the audio sources of YouTube videos, but you can also listen and search Soundcloud.

Webclients are heavy, so this is welcome. Thanks for the efforts! Looks pretty.

Any plans for admin tool integration in the near future? Would make maintenance a lot easier.

I’ve been using Protonmail, but can’t recommend them due to how open sourcing their stuff seems to be a secondary concern to them.

I’ve also tried Tutanota a little, and might transfer my stuff over there at some point if Protonmail does not take their privacy aspect more seriously, in regards to open source specifically. Tutanota, at least from the surface, seems to tick all the boxes.

I’ve seen people complaining about lack of features in the free version of Tutanota, but it bears reminding that you want to be paying with your money for these services. I’ve been waiting for Protonmail to hit F-Droid to start paying for the service, but it might just never happen.

How daunting would it be to self host email reliably?

You’ve got good intentions, but the best you can do is to use the report function. No need for extra threads on top.

Protonmail seems to eventually deliver, but is working at a glacial pace where it matters when it comes to their privacy claims.

Makes me think that there could be a tags that moderators could slap on posts, like prefixing the title with a red Misleading or something.

I kind of assume the latter is to prevent identity theft. It’s reasons like these that make selfhosting single user instances appealing as you know it’s your account and you have access to the database.

I really hope commenting via Pleroma becomes a bit more viable in the near future so I can use this account mostly for cleanup tasks.

Mastodon is actually built to be social while Twitter just hones its algorithms. There’s so much Twitter could straight up copy from Mastodon and it would make it so much better. Eugen and the community have gotten a lot of things right.
