Is there an Open-Source Tab Database?
  • I'm curious if scraping UG and uploading elsewhere is considered piracy. Do they "own" submissions of other people's music?

    I might just try to make an alt frontend for UG with additional OSS tab submission options. It sounds like a fun project.

  • this is DANGEROUS ground to tread on lemmy ☠️

  • Who profits from domain names fees
  • *Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can't put an A record at the root tld.

  • Who profits from domain names fees
  • Don't forget countries. A few, I don't have a list, but including .ai, .pn, are in full control of their domains and do it all on their own infra.

  • Is hate speech against religious people acceptable?
  • The Fediverse is pretty radical. I'm an atheist also, an exmormon, and I think this might just be a misunderstanding.
    The rule, "no LGBTQ+ content," I don't think is saying "no gay people." I am pretty sure it is just asking to avoid the topic, to prevent bigoted discussion from happening.
    As fair or not as you want it to be, LGBTQ+ is a controversial topic for religious people, and I think it's fair to just put a pin in that discussion in your community. But what do I know?

  • And some people think it has consciousness...
  • Mostly I just hate the dialogue that people think WE are akin to a language model, where prompts go in and actions come out... it's a gross misrepresentation of the human brain, and we don't even know much of how it works, but we do know we don't spit outputs based solely on inputs.

  • Where did all this reddit hatred come from?
  • I've seen the opposite. A few days into the blackout, I saw someone post this meme about dictatorships where they (literally) put a picture of Spez right next to Tiananmen Square

  • Bell curve of Linux distributions
  • Zorin seems good. I unfortunately had crashing issues with it, but that was a long time ago (a few years, but I think it was in beta back then).

  • Mozilla is recuiting for an AI-powered recommendation engine
  • Interesting, but probably harmless if it's one-shot. In general, it seems like a bad idea. Not any better or worse than other recommendations systems. Mozilla should look into FHE.

  • Bell curve of Linux distributions
  • Mint has always been my go-to grandma-friendly system. I remember using it when I was in my single-digit years. Most intuitive operating system ever. :)

  • Future Lothario
  • Radical political ideologists love the Fediverse and always have, be it anarchosocialists or confederates. Not sure why. I just want shitposts and tech stuff.

  • Which e-mail service should I use?
  • +1 on Skiff. E2EE intra- and inbound. Great service, greater support. Free custom domains setup (& catchall aliasing!!!). Comes with a Drive, Pages, and Calendar suite.

  • Bell curve of Linux distributions
  • Ubuntu is lame. OP conveniently missed LM (desktop users) and Debian (servers)

  • The Spy Pixel problem
  • Why are people pretending this isn't an issue??? Of course it is lol.
    Luckily the fix is also easy: an image proxy server. Mail clients do this already.
    It exposes the bigger problem with Lemmy: lack of auditing.

    Don't speak German? Here's a userscript for you

    Recently, especially with feddit.de, there are a lot of posts in languages that are not English. This is great for adoption!, but unfortunately I have no idea what the posts are about because I don't speak German. I couldn't find a setting to hide posts in other languages either!

    To make my feed better for myself, I wrote a simple user script which removes any posts that are tagged anything other than EN/ES (the two languages I can speak.

    Update the script to your preferences (make sure to @match your instance), and load it up in TamperMonkey!

    Here you go:

    ``` // ==UserScript== // @name Kbin: delete articles in other languages // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 0.1 // @description Auto-delete posts in languages you do not speak. // @author luphoria (https://kbin.social/u/trent) // @match https://kbin.social/* // @icon https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=kbin.social // @grant none // ==/UserScript==

    (function() { 'use strict'; const allowedLangs = ["en"]; // <-- Edit this to all of the languages you can speak / want to see in your feed. Format: ["lang", "lang", "lang"]

    let deleteUnwantedPosts = () => { const postTags = document.getElementsByClassName("kbin-bg");

    for (let i = 0; i < postTags.length; i++) { let postTag = postTags[i]; if (postTag && postTag.textContent && postTag.textContent !== "OC" && !allowedLangs.includes(postTag.textContent)) { // OC tags are the only elements (i know of) with the same class. // Delete element's parent's parent's parent if (postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent) { console.log(Removing post labeled \${postTag.textContent}\: "${postTag.parentElement.children[0].textContent}"); postTag.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.remove(); } } } } deleteUnwantedPosts(); // on load

    // for continuous feeds let observeDOMChanges = () => { const observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutationsList) { deleteUnwantedPosts(); }); observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true }); } observeDOMChanges(); })();

    ```

    Magazine owners of federated mags are all "owned" by Ernest

    Again - sorry if this is a repost - but it seems like /u/ernest is listed as the owner of every single magazine that isn't on Kbin. I'm pretty sure he's the sole moderator on Kbin for those instances; but the "owner" designation is misleading?

    Notifications

    Sorry if this is a repost, but I don't seem to be recieving notifications from any interactions with my post.

    Kbin definitely could (should, IMO) adopt a Reddit-like notification system. Notify for new comments until there are already X comments, then notify every 10 comments etc. Notify for X amount of post votes. Etc.

    On this note, will there also be notifications going to email, or RSS feeds per user?
