Is there a FOSS Linkedin alternative? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I get the sentiment,
however when the user base of a FOSS alternative grows beyond the closed source alternative, a switch can happen.

So it would be a good thing to have a FOSS alternative out there, which can accumulate a user base over time.

Without any alternatives being developed,
a switch can never happen.

After a brief scroll through their source repo, I think it's a set of patches which gets applied by a script while compiling the browser from source.

So it's unlikely that it will be susceptible,
unless they forget to patch some telemetry out during a release, which is unlikely, since the projects goal is data privacy + security.

Fork of FireFox,
with a focus on data privacy + security:

I'd also like to add IronFox,
similar to LibreWolf, but for mobile:

Why is there only one invidious instance left? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 156 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (8 children)

YouTube has been cracking down on alternative frontends.

Vanilla Invidious currently doesn't work well,
so most hosters paused and/or gave up.

Fijxu runs a fork of Invidious,
with their own modifications implemented to circumvent the blocks,
here's the source code if you're interested:
https://git.nadeko.net/Fijxu/invidious

I've got big respect for Fijxu,
he's been doing a very good job of keeping Invidious alive + fighting against the YouTube crackdown lately, basically all on his own.

If you can please consider:

All the above can help Fijxu,
since currently he's mostly fighting a big tech giant all on his own.

Yeah, it's a feature of my client, Eternity,
I've written a guide once on how to set it up:

Other clients might support similar filter functionality though, but afaik it's not natively supported by Lemmy at this time.

Dis/connect from Netbird through NetworkManager? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
4 comments fedilink
 

Up till now I've been using only OpenVPN connections.
Which can be integrated nicely in NetworkManager to connect + disconnect from them, through NetworkManager's UI.

However since recently I also need to use Netbird for some connections.

Is it possible to add Netbird as an entry in NetworkManager, for easy connection + disconnection?
If so, how would one go about setting that up?

Or is adding Netbird in NetworkManager not possible,
and is the Netbird CLI/GUI really the only option?

Edit:
It's not possible yet.
First Netbird needs to add Wireguard config support,
see: https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/2504

Blocking Copilot + AI feed bloat on Github? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/23000833

I've absolutely grown to hate everything AI/LLM related.

It's sole marginal benefit is to senior devs,
with generating some boiler plate code,
which you usually still need to adjust.

For the rest it's been a waste of:

  • Time during development, with wrong answers.
  • Time during reviews, with garbage generated PRs from junior devs.
  • Energy, contributing to global warming.

But lately M$ has been intrusively shoving Copilot down our throats on Github, which I'm quite unhappy with.

So if any of you have some uBlock Origin filters,
or any other ideas on how I can block this Copilot slop out,
please do enlighten me!

Edit: Did some searching of my own.

Go to: https://github.com/settings/copilot
Block + disable everything you can under there.

Then go to uBlock Origin => Open the Dashboard => My Filters => Add:

github.com##.copilotPreview__container
github.com##.AppHeader-CopilotChat
github.com##li.ActionListItem:has-text(Copilot)
github.com##li.ActionList-sectionDivider:has-text(Copilot)

It's not perfect, but at least it's a start of getting rid of the unwanted content.

I logged in today and was greeted with this advertisement in my notifications.

Seriously Manjaro team,
I've been happily using your OS for the past few years,

then it won't be long before I hop to Arch...

[Release] Belfius Root (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/18470641

Simple Xposed module to support the Belfius app on Rooted devices!

Source
https://github.com/Rikj000/Belfius-Root#belfius-root

License GPLv3

Motivation
Belfius bank was pretty cool about having a rooted device in the past,
they just threw a dismissible warning about security risks of using a rooted device,
and then allowed you to keep using their app.

However on 2024-07-01 this changed.
Nowadays they assume that you're an idiot that will not be able to keep your own device safe if you have root.

I do not agree with that assumption, and likely neither do you.
Only power users that have a good idea of what they're doing tend to root their own devices.

After only a hand full of transactions, done through the tedious browser process,
I grew agitated enough to do the research to write this module.

Hope you'll enjoy this module and the ability to stay rooted!

Help preserve Yuzu's code base (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/12733354

As you all know or may not know,
Nintendo has taken down Yuzu,
see following post for more info on that:
https://lemmy.world/post/12728163

Now it's important to preserve the code base of Yuzu,
so hopefully someday, once things cooled down a little,
an active fork can stick it's head up.

After looking at the Azure DevOps Pipelines
of yuzu-emu/yuzu,
I noticed the latest pipeline ran 8 hours ago
as of writing this post:

Which tells us that the latest commit,
was a merge of PR #13198 from
zhaobot/tx-update-20240301020652

This fork,
is the most up-to-date one / contains the latest commit
done to Yuzu before the take down:
https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu/tree/tx-update-20240301020652

I encourage you all to pull, star and fork this fork,
not only the master branch, but all branches!
The more copies floating out there,
the better the project will be preserved.

You can pull the code base to your local machine, with:

git clone https://github.com/zhaobot/yuzu.git

(Requires https://git-scm.com/)

And you can pull in all the branches,
as described in this Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/grimzy/a1d3aae40412634df29cf86bb74a6f72

Playing some Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon,
through Citra Canary v2798 with:

And I gotta say,
I'm happily impressed by how good it looks!
Apart from the low resolution font/texts,
I'd forget that I'm playing a mobile title from 2015 😄

Edit:
I disabled the High Resolution Textures,
because they cause:

  • Random game freezes in connection orb screens
  • Slowdowns while in villages / dungeons / connection orb screens
  • Incorrect black / white rendering of clouds / earth during cut scenes
