  • 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.

  • Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?
  • 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!

  • What to do during a nuclear attack
  • I've always wondered, is this a drawing of the YouTuber NorthernLion?

  • A Proposed Massachusetts Law Would Ban the Sale of Cell Phone Location Data
  • 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).

  • Missing post sort options

    Can the app please be updated to include the sort options Top hour, Top 6 hours, and Top 12 hours?

    Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:
  • What a username haha

  • Empress forgot to take her meds again
  • Is this what cracking Denuvo does to people?

  • Lemmy just had its first major hack. What happens next:

    I wasn't forced to sign back in.

    Is everything under control Jonah?

    > Hi all, > > If you're just now signing in for the first time in 12+ hours, you may just now be finding out that Lemmy World and other instances where hijacked. The hijackers had the full abilities of hijacked user, mod, and admin accounts.

This will likely just be casual reviews by technical lemmy users. However, I will be reaching out to the Mozilla Foundation and Cure53 as they recently did an audit of Mastodon. If there is interest in an external audit of lemmy and the costs are affordable, I'll look into crowdfunding this cost.

    This might help explain the spectacular launch of Threads
  • It would be more wouldn't it?

    Total = Number of Instagram accounts + Threads only accounts

  • Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
  • 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).

  • Back button/gesture behaviour
  • Also it would be good to implement one of those toast notifications "press back again to exit" that other apps have.

  • Lemmy.ml has now blocked threads.net / Meta
  • Good god that's terrifying.

  • The spoiler tag doesn't work on apps it seems.
  • spoiler

    Dumbledore kills Snape

  • Locked
    Why keep the nazi name for this community
  • PCIsBetterThanConsolesInLiterallyEveryWay just doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

  • YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
  • edit: my most upvoted comment is about beans.

  • Piped: The Youtube Experience You've Been Waiting For
  • 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).

  • YouTube confirms 3-strike policy for blocking ads
  • 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.

  • Oh no. [#Jerboa](https://mastodon.social/tags/Jerboa) is crashing on launch after the update :(
  • I can recommend, for Android:

    Connect

    Liftoff

    Thunder

    I'm using all 3, plus Jerboa, as they are all fantastic apps. At some point I'll just stick with one, but it's exciting following the development of these apps. Use Obtainium to keep them up to date (although Connect is Google Play only).

    Niantic strikes again, it was a bug

    What are they playing at, the update released Friday, but they wait until today for 1) a Niantic rep to confirm it was intended and 2) for the update to globally roll out.

    Spawn distance increase (version 0.275) confirmed a permanent addition!

    Clarification as a common thought was this was a bug.

  • The links under section 1 link to Reddit, may be an idea to host those elsewhere?

    EDIT: I missed the link at the bottom, looks like it's all on rentry.co
