This is actually amazing. I’ve done a bit of editing as I play Pokémon Go which uses OSM for the background map. I got fed up of just looking at roads so I mapped in all the buildings, shops, parks etc near me.
This gamifies walking and exploring which I love!
I wonder if they would still be able to sell location data in aggregate?
I play Pokémon Go (yes that’s still a thing) and Niantic recently made a deal that they don’t sell individual location data which people have taken as they sell bulk location data instead (scrubbing data such as your name etc).
Is this what cracking Denuvo does to people?
I only check Reddit now for a game sub which, while on Lemmy, doesn’t have critical mass yet (and I’m not sure it will).
Relay too
edit: my most upvoted comment is about beans.
Doesn’t this make NewPipe better in that instance? If it’s client side you aren’t going to be rate limited.
There is also a fork of NewPipe that integrates SponsorBlock (I don’t know if Piped has that).
What happens if you use SmartTubeNext on a TV? I’m assuming the interface wouldn’t support the 3 strike YouTube popup so I guess you’d just get blocked without knowing why?
I’m guessing ReVanced will support the popup so you’d know.
Relay is still working for me, including NSFW content:
Remember how long DivX/XviD hung on for, it’s all down to device compatibility.
They kind of work, you can see below that the content is not from those communities. I have to change the sort method to get the content, but the sort method is broken for me as I’m on lemmy.one which is not on v18:
I don’t have much of an imagination so I asked Bing AI:
Pokémon Go by Niantic, provided you live in a high population area (or an area with plenty of Points of Interest, or POIs). The premise is you walk around outside and catch Pokémon - the game uses GPS (think like walking around with Google Maps open).
I recommend it, but the player motivation is probably as low as it has been due to Niantics decisions to walk back COVID decisions, as well as the general state of the game (bugs etc.), but it’s fine to motivate you to take a daily walk for sure, or just something to do on a commute if you are sat on a bus for example.
Ingress which is the first game Niantic made, and laid the foundations for Pokémon Go regarding the map (the games generally share the same POIs). It’s more competitive as there are two teams and you fight for control over the POIs whereas in Pokémon Go the POIs are generally places to restock items. It uses GPS like Pokémon Go.
Again I recommend this, if not to at least check out for an hour. The game doesn’t hold your hand as much so it’s best to join a nearby community.
I understand the decisions made but I would be pretty annoyed if I had a lemmy.world or a sh.itjust.works account and I’ll explain why below.
Looking on https://browse.feddit.de/ Beehaw has the largest communities for Gaming, Technology, Chat, News, Programming, Politics and Music (and probably more). These are staple communities that the majority of users will be subscribed to one or more.
Those users now need to make a decision, they either make a new account on Beehaw (or another instance that isn’t defederated by Beehaw) so they can continue to browse those communities, or they instead keep their accounts on lemmy.world / sh.itjust.works and join smaller and less active communities to replace the Beehaw ones.
Unfortunately trolls can create a load of accounts in instance ABC and spam Beehaw until Beehaw defederate instance ABC until there are no large instances left.
It’s good that Beehaw are looking to refederate with both instances, but I imagine that the majority of people expressing their opinions thought defederation was a final decision.
It’s the Issues page on either the Lemmy or the Lemmy-UI repository (I don’t know which one is more appropriate):
I don’t have a GitHub account so I haven’t submitted anything there, but feel free to suggest my idea.
The feature would still be useful when commenting on third instances though.
See the third instances section of this comment:
Oh yeah, my mistake. So on Beehaw communities it would basically be lemmy.world users speaking amongst themselves from the perspective of lemmy.world.
If Beehaw has say the main gaming community, then that’s going to be subscribed from users from all different instances, so there will probably be more comments from non Beehaw users on there than Beehaw users.
Hopefully the main communities move out of Beehaw to an instance that doesn’t block large communities though.
That’s true, but they still serve different purposes, i.e. r/pcgaming is specific. Using that example, it’s not like we have r/gaming2 which serves the exact same purpose as r/gaming, and has a similar size user base.
I think things will settle as you say, but this isn’t a good start when the user base is exploding. I’m only just getting my head around it all and I’m a fairly tech minded person for someone who doesn’t work in the field. Something like this is just going to put a lot of people off, which is a shame.
I replaced all my movies from x264 to x265 versions. Went to play a movie and it said it couldn’t transcode the file. Looked into it and you have to pay to do hardware transcoding - my own fault for not testing a x265 file first haha.
Installed Jellyfin where transcoding using your own hardware is free and I haven’t looked back.
