Do you still have to do the whole export import of your subscriptions thing? Or do you just not use subscriptions? Can it sync playlists across devices?
Yup, still need to do export/import. Re syncing: you’d have to use an external syncing mechanism like syncthing or nextcloud and even then you’d need to export manually.
I don’t think NewPipe will ever get any syncing mechanism itself, it tries to be privacy first and doesn’t support any server side code, they rejected the SponsorBlock patch bc it leakes data to a server as well
Its a very cool app and enough for me, but some things just will not be possible
Here is a cached version if you want to reject tracking without flipping a hundred individual switches
Its just not a democracy.
IMO the US is de-facto like the ancient Roman republic, where plebeians, could vote but only for patricians, so “everybody” (ofc slaves and womens rights were neglected back then) could vote but all questions that were ever discussed in the senate were interests of patricians, same goes for political “coverage” and campaign elections.
So there was dissent and processes that were democratic on the surface but they exclusively revolved around the interests of the patricians.
The US is like that where patrician interests are replaced with capital interests. You can only vote multi-millionaires into the white house and the only issues to ever change are the issues of a fraction within the capitalist class (meaning someone living off of someone elses labour rather than their own).
If you belong to those capitalists you enjoy democratic representation, if not you can only decide which capitalist position you find better and vote for that.
Honestly would be very surprising if RMS wasn’t a hardcore libertarian or Anarchist.
Although these days he maybe following the ideology of Marxism-Stallmanism
Zsh - IIRC Short scripting is a tiny bit less akward and plugin features like autosuggestions work well. But I have switched a long time ago - not sure how bash really compares
I also always wanted to properly migrate to emacs eshell but it doesn’t have term capabilities (bc it isn’t one) and I have not sat myself down and replaced the workflows I of commands that require it
I feel like the nays will be underrepresented bc of selection bias so I’ll be one.
So far I have not had the same engagement. But I am convinced that is bc I have yet to get used to the jerboa UI/UX. I am more active once I feel at home, was the same for reddit, is the same for lemmy.
Its great that you feel more impactful on lemmy! I think on reddit you either feel the way you have or are constantly being called a slur (say “tankie”) and removed/banned left and right.
So far lemmy seems way more authentic to me. Less capital interest, PR companies, bots, astroturf, think tank/gov-adjacent hacks. I like that.
Alos writing this made me realize my mode of commenting is still very much a reddit one
Oh I’m sorry
