Haven't heard about the Gutenberg project before, seems pretty neat!
I'd probably add repair.wiki to a list of things I'd archive, although some of that content is picture heavy so not as easily compressible as Wikipedia
There was a project that allows you to download wikipedia and some other online resources into an easy to search & navigate UI, think it was called Kiwi something but can't remember. It was targeted at regions with poor internet coverage
Corrected, thanks!
I'm looking forward to ECH, if i'm not mistaken that relies on DoH which has pretty widespread adoption in browsers at the mo
Very, very, very brave you are to torrent on Hetzner lol
Sadly doesn't work for gov level blocks that look at the SNI rather than blocking at DNS level
Edit: correction from ESNI to SNI
Grayjay can do this - there is a toggle in the settings for the YouTube addin to sync watch data with your Google account.
However, I'm worried about what Rossmann says in regards to profit and maintenance. The app is moderated/worked-on by (I think paid) professionals and we should pay a license of $9.99 yet the app is also unprofitable and may never turn a profit. So, what's the point in paying for the app?
By paying for the app, you're merely donating to FUTO. As Rossmann mentioned in his video, it is completely optional to pay.
There's nothing wrong with any app being unprofitable IMO. Public transport and car infrastructure is unprofitable and we don't have a problem with those... heck even my personal website is unprofitable, that's about $200-300 a year being funnelled into something nobody uses or visits.
Rossmann has a millionaire backing up his repair business
This is incorrect
Rossmann's personal repair business is financially independent from his employer, FUTO, who only partially sponsors Rossmann's R2R advocacy with the assistance of community donations. Rossmann frequently publishes hour long videos on his main channel crawling through the finances, and has spreadsheets online for public viewing where viewers can do an audit themselves
So, is some of this being funded by that person and other investors of FUTO or is our money the only thing keeping this afloat
AFAICT, FUTO is comparable to organisations like NLNET - the same people at sponsor the Lemmy devs. The aim is generally not to fund projects forever, but to eventually open source them after they've been developed to the agreed level of functionality. Seeing as this app is mainly a Rossmann initiative there could be an exception here though - such as Rossmann donating his own money towards development.
The app is niche and I can't see too many people paying for a license
I'm probably an exception then lol
Spoiler
I also can't see too many workers staying unless they are passionate. Something isn't adding up unless I'm wrong.
A lot of people who follow Rossmann are passionate about R2R, actually owning what you pay for, and not giving excessive control to monopolies like Google.
Grayjay is more along the lines of this spirit, and as soon as they have their DHT video hosting thing ready I'll gladly donate some of my storage space towards it 👌
And this is why a discourse style penalisation of new users can't come soon enough. Reported and blocked.
Slightly related but I hope uber doesn't do this... personally I'm trying to reduce my dependence on rideshare services but sometimes 💩 happens
good luck suing someone in a country like Russia, China or any other where these things are super hard to enforce
Those countries have their own domestic solutions already, rutube and bilibili. Why would they care about an app that only caters to western media products and monetary contribution sites?
At most, they can request Google to remove them from the PlayStore which they will be already doing because this is an app for YouTube without ads, which I'm pretty sure breaks Google's terms of service
This is not an app for YouTube without ads though, and it is published on the play store already...
there's not a real advantage on restricting forks, other than the original dev are trying to promote a paid tier so they can make a profit or something.
Well, no point having a discussion here if you didn't even spend 2 mins to read the manifesto of the company that owns the app.
Nebula is beta, hopefully it gets support for sending back watch stats and saving watch progress 🙏
I see they have something similar for YouTube already, where you can enable/disable anonymity (using your google account for requests VS anonymous requests), and enable/disable saving watch history to your linked Google account
The license chosen expressly allows him to release the dogs on anyone who modifies the app for the purposes of malware distribution
I feel sorry for whichever researchers are in charge of training and fine tuning those models.... ouch
