  • Penultimate paragraph, however YMMV.

  • If possible, get your books in epub format, get an eInk Android tablet for less than £100 and enjoy.

  • The Ente suggestion went right under my radar. It actually looks like a really solid suggestion, thank you.

  • This. My NAS does a good job. But if it dies, I'll lose everything, hence wanting to backup my NAS photos.

    Edit: Good job is stretching it. I need to invest in a new NAS next year.

  • Dunno why I find this hilarious, but I do. That said, I need to buy myself a new NAS before I think about one for a friend 🥺

  • The AI is about my pictures being used to train facial recognition when they're sitting in the cloud.

  • That's fair, but the reality is that Tumblr has been dancing on a knife's edge for a long long time. A community lead and funded effort like FireFish would provide the platform security needed for it to survive. But there's no two ways about it, it won't just happen magically. That said, TumblFish.social could truly be huge and propel FireFish to even surpass Lemmy in terms of users.

  • But they're not moving people to the fediverse, they're basically rolling out the same plugin integration that is available for WordPress already and the only reason they're even attempting that is because they've not given up on monetizing Tumblr and in order to do that, they have to garner more traffic of which they feel that Tumblr can get with the rising tide of primarily Mastodon.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again, people should move their Tumblr accounts to FireFish.

  • So basically tighter permissions and using newer APIs. As for the Chrome stuff, as a Firefox user posting in a Firefox community, it's of little consequence to me. But I look forward to trying out this extension.

    Edit: Tried it and it kinda falls over at the first hurdle. I installed it and then tried to follow links to Tiktok and Instagram only to end up on the official sites.

    Also the UI is kinda unstyled. It feels like when you first learn Java.

  • The blog post is like the perfect analogy of my user experience. The title promises a mobile app, I load the page, scan for a Play Store link and leave frustrated. I guess I'll come back and actually read the thing later.

  • Nice. What are the benefits over LibRedirect?

    Does PreDirect also have instance discovery built in along with the ability to ping services?

  • Slightly more expensive than VHS then

  • This has the potential to completely upend how Google licenses GMS and distributes Android, but we'll have to wait and see exactly what remedies the judge in this case decides to levy.
