It seems that there are a few common types of sounds

• O-live: English, Basque, Dutch, Czech, etc. Potentially even Albanian and Japanese which kept the “Oh-Lee…” Portion
• Zay-Toon: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Farsi, the language you are learning

Then some unique ones that still might fit into those bins:

• Marathi is listed as “Jai-fa-la”, which is still somewhat similar to the second type

• someone commented Gan-lan, which seems to be different

I don’t think they need a specific answer, but rather they want to comment on the different variations

I commented this in the other thread, sharing it here as well

I’ve been waiting for this feature for a while actually 😅

When I last saw people talking about it, there were rumors that there would be a reasonable free backup (ex. up to 1 Gb) with relatively cheap paid options above that. I scrolled through the GitHub link and couldn’t confirm or deny if this is still/actually the case.

Backups are the #1 pain point for friends that tried to switch to Signal, especially for those on iOS. I have a local backup + sync setup for my own phone, but it’s a lot to expect for the average casual user to set up.

Whatsapp has backups to Google Drive, which is better than nothing but not ideal. It’s time Signal had a reliable backup method for casual users

There’s a quote along the lines of “User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design”

Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I’d say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it’s a design problem

The idea is that people can block what they don’t want to see. Some users/communities/instances are more open, and others are more closed off. There’s nothing stopping you from finding a place that aligns with what you want

If someone doesn’t want to interact with you, you’re not going to accomplish anything by forcing them to interact with you.

Check out !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca, we have some pinned posts. You can also ask questions as you get them :)

The annotation system could benefit from federation. Users can submit any interpretation, and some of them will need to be moderated.

I can’t think of a format that would be compatible with other fediverse platforms. While it would be nice to be able to annotate from existing accounts or follow new updates to a song from Lemmy/Mastodon, the specifics would be complicated. Do people follow artists, albums, songs, lines of text? Sometimes people will want to annotate a single word, and other times a whole paragraph

However, the lyrics themselves would be better off with a system like Wikipedia

Yes it’s hard to tell what they’re looking at, but I imagine the less info they can collect from your device the better?

I usually lookup ‘alternative frontends’ and then find a list like this on github type sites. They go out of date often

With the proxy websites, it’s more of an alternative frontend where you still need an account on the platform.

What might be happening is

• your device or IP address is flagged from your previous attempts
• they’ve connected it to your real name / shadow profile somehow

So if you really need to use it and there’s no alternative, you could do one of

• make the real account, ideally from a privacy friendly browser, and give the absolute minimum info you can. Name and email, no profile image, privacy settings to max

• make an account on a new device / wifi network, and have it be believable for the kind of person joining Facebook for the first time. I haven’t tried this myself but I’ve heard it mentioned before

Whether you made an account or not, you can keep an eye out for alternatives. Over here there are a few alternatives, and one of them (Karrot) has been growing in popularity

It might enshitify at some point, but it’s been nice so far

With that in mind, I LOVE how lean and fast some FOSS apps/projects are. One of my motivations to go searching for FOSS alternatives is when something seems slow for no reason.

It’s not always the case, but it’s often the case

IIRC they stopped collecting data briefly because it was affecting the sites they were checking. They must have fixed that since it’s running again

[no major spoilers in this comment]

I asked two separate friends in the medical field for what they thought of the show, and both of them started with saying that the character is annoying 😄

I think that’s the goal, since there ARE people like that in the field that are difficult to work with. It also gives her room to grow and be ‘humbled’ through the course of the show.

The key is that you need to subscribe to the type of content you want to see. There’s no company here deciding what your feed is going to be.

@BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world, what kind of stuff are you interested in? I’m happy to help you find related communities :)

I can also see some people being opposed to them spending the donation money on ads, since they’d be giving money to companies that may be in opposition to what we’re doing here (or ideological reasons around the advertising industry in general).

Maybe if there was a separate pool of donations specifically for advertising, then people who want to support that can donate to it? Those who don’t can still donate to the projects themselves

Thanks!

I think it’s still helpful for people that primarily use the subscribed feed, in case they are subscribed to !linux@lemmy.ml, but not !privacy@lemmy.ml

😬

Could be worth sharing this around so more people are aware of it. !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !opensource@programming.dev maybe? I can cross post it myself, but I’m not as familiar with the topic to respond to comments/questions

It could be some AB testing

‘upperBalcony’ is assigned a value but never used

Ok but still, what if

math requires it, the risk is just too high

The original reddit was closer to hackernews than the generic site it is now. Not only that but spez has admitted that the original traffic was artificial, by which I mean, the owners themselves were creating fake engagement through various means, such as scraping and cross-posting content from sites like digg via sockpuppets to appear that the site had way more traffic than it had.
