  • I'm finally moving to Bitwarden. What are some mistakes I shouldn't make so I don't lose my account?

  • Master Password hint be extremely obvious

    Given that Bitwarden is on the cloud, where the whole world can access it, I'd say no...

  • Just ordered a Sony Xperia with SailfishOS! I hope you're right! 🤞

    (FYI just in case: SailfishOS is NOT an Android fork! I didn't realize this until recently.)

  • Oh look, another Electron app. How original…

    Jump

  • I know it's easy to dunk on Electron... but have any of yall written any desktop apps with native frameworks? I wrote a small GTK4+Vala app once and I discovered desktop frameworks are very different than developing webapps. Customizing the look, feel, interaction of elements, and general mechanics, seems like a toooon of effort. (It kinda seems like you're not supposed to customize it.) Web development is waaaaaaaay more friendly towards customization. Which as a company, you want your app to look like your company, not some generic OS bundled app.

    And then you have to repeat all that effort for crappleOS and Wangblows?... And then you gotta hope that it's even possible to do the thing you want in different OSes. Sheesh.

    I mean, I'd be happy if everything was native apps, but I also understand why people don't tend to choose that route.

  • ‘I want to cancel’: YouTube Premium quietly hikes its US prices for the first time in three years, forcing many users to consider the unthinkable

    Jump

  • What's the point of YouTube premium again? uBlock Origin works on laptops, tablets, and phones. Smart Tube works on TVs.

    Is there some live sports thing that it's bundled with or something?

  • Do you still listen to the radio?

    Jump

  • I switched from Spotify to Navidrome+local radio. When I'm in the car, it's been 100% radio recently.

    I actually like a lot of the music on my local radio stations. Yes, it's 10 songs on a loop, but they gradually change out the 10 songs. So 6 months from now it's slightly different 10 songs. I also get to spend more time with each song, which lets me learn the lyrics or notice different parts of the song better.

    Yes, there are ads and talking, but it's not all bad. I like the ads for local businesses, restaurants, or events. The talking gets annoying sometimes, but most of the time it's fine or, dare I say, even enjoyable. When the ads/talking gets too much, I just change the station. There are like 4-5 stations I cycle through. If they're all annoying, then I just turn the radio down for a minute.

    I also discover new songs from the radio that later I add to Navidrome.

    Overall, pretty happy not paying for Spotify and not having to use my phone.

  • Tailscale is just more reliable and mature in my experience

    What sort of issues have you run into? I'm currently on Tailscale, but was considering Netbird because it's open source. (Also, I hate that Tailscale requires me to create an account with Big Tech to login.)

    They seem pretty close in terms of features, at least in the simple cases.

    What would happen if the US president declares martial law (not statewide, but entire nation) overnight?

  • Honestly, yeah. Lots of people in my town would probably be onboard and justify it. "This is a good thing because the radical left is crazy!"

  • Forking frenzy ensues after Euro-Office launch sparks OnlyOffice backlash

    Jump

  • sovereignty != isolationCodeberg != isolation

    There’s not a readily-available European alternative to Github, and no, Codeberg is not one, because the value of GH is not just hosting code, it’s being a well-known place to find code.

    Codeberg is absolutely an alternative hosting place that is ready to go today. Medium and large players like Zig, Guix, Librewolf, Forgejo, and Comaps are on Codeberg. These aren't random people with projects that no one uses. These are large projects with lots of collaborators that ship software to lots of people. (Even Alpine Linux seems to be experimenting with Codeberg.)

    Codeberg has a similar UI/UX to GitHub. It's got CI too, either traditional CI with Woodpecker, or you can migrate your GitHub Actions to Forgejo Actions (which are similar).

    Codeberg is big and popular enough that it shows up in web search results, search for "zig source code" and you'll get a result for Codeberg. It's not like people only search for code in the GitHub search bar.

  • Jolla with SailfishOS or Motorola with Graphene?

  • Wait, is SailfishOS not Android based??

    Oh, snap! I fell asleep on this! I didn't realize it was a Linux phone!

  • I luv polls! but Lemmy doesn't have them. Reddit used to have a decent polling feature, but they fouled it up around the time they had their IPO. Where can I find a good place for polls?

    Jump

  • OP, try PieFed! https://piefed.social/auth/register It's actually pretty good. I'm surprised more people aren't connecting to the Fediverse via PieFed. I recently jumped from Lemmy and PieFed.

    And because this isn't some corporate hellhole, you don't get cutoff from Lemmy. Yay ActivityPub!

  • Experienced Linux users, what are you using?

    Jump

  • Been daily driving Arch on my laptops for the last 10 years. It's been great. Getting the latest software has been especially handy for laptops, where the kernel sometimes needs time to catch up to the latest hardware.

    I ran Guix for a few months when I had some extra time and I liked it, but it was very different and not all software I needed ran on it (or ran well). I ended up going back to Arch, but I brought Guix with me, as a package manager.

    I also ended up trying Fedora for the first time (ok, I was unemployed) recently and was pleasantly surprised. Turns out Fedora is pretty close to how I configure Arch. And it's got some extra polish that was neat. I ended up installing Fedora Silverblue for my parents 6-8 months ago and it's been working out great for them.

    Anyway, Arch has been my reliable companion for the last 10 years.

  • Stuck between living in America, China, or Japan... Which would you choose?

  • Disagree with the US not being an ethnostate. If you're not white, then it does feel like an ethnostate. I was born here, but I've always been made to feel that this isn't my country. I'm a guest here. I'm tolerated (in the blue states), but not welcome. I'm constantly getting news that half the country hates people like me and wants me to leave (again, born here!)

    But, uh, yeah, if you're white or white-passing, then yeah, the US is your ethnostate. 👍

  • Copilot is now injecting ads into GitHub pull requests. It's a disaster.

    Jump

  • You do have to ask for permission. https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/

    Asking permission involves creating an issue on the Codeberg-e.V./requests repo: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests/issues/new?template=ISSUE_TEMPLATE%2FWoodpecker-CI.yaml

    Here's an example issue asking permission for CI: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests/issues/1663

    They get back to you fairly quickly. I think the main thing they check for is if your project is FOSS. They don't seem very strict otherwise.

    After you get permission, you can go to https://ci.codeberg.org/login to access CI.

    You'll also need to create a .woodpecker folder in your repo.

    Woodpecker docs are here: https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/usage/intro 

       
        
# .woodpecker/my-first-workflow.yaml  
when:  
  - event: push  
    branch: main  

steps:  
  - name: build  
    image: debian  
    commands:  
      - echo "This is the build step"  
      - echo "binary-data-123" > executable

  • I mean, if Zig and Guix can do it. It's possible.

    I'm in a similar boat. So far:

    • I started mirroring GitHub to Codeberg
    • I added CI to Codeberg

    Next I gotta update the readme on GitHub telling everyone that I'm going to move to Codeberg. I'll let that sit for a few months.

    Also, I gotta update consumers like homebrew to consume from Codeberg instead.

    I was gonna close/merge any open PRs on GitHub.

    Issues, I'm not totally sure about. I thought I read there was a way to migrate those. Although, I'm kiiinda ok with starting fresh........ not totally sure this part needs more thought.

    Once the Codeberg repo is ready, I'll make the GitHub repo read-only, with the readme pointing to Codeberg.

    Way, way, way down the line, I'd consider deleting the GitHub repo (and finally my account).

    I'm OK with breaking things. I'm gonna try my hardest to not break stuff, but I'm not going to let the fear of breaking stuff prevent me from getting on ShitHub by Macroslop.
