They actually just put out an update related to subtitles (for the android TV app)

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/releases

I will admit that subtitles have bothered me before as well, so I’m hoping this fixes things

Could it help with internal tasks, like self-hosted services or a business that transfers files around a lot?

Wow that’s really cool!

Cool :)

Fontsource is a collection of open-source fonts that are packaged into individual NPM packages for self-hosting in your web applications. This documentation outlines the benefits of using Fontsource and how to get started. Advantages

1. Performance - Self-hosting fonts can significantly improve website performance by eliminating the extra latency caused by additional DNS resolution and TCP connection establishment that is required when using a CDN like Google Fonts. This can help to prevent doubled visual load times for simple websites, as benchmarked here and here.

2. Version Locking - Fonts remain version locked. Google often pushes updates to their fonts without notice, which may interfere with your live production projects. Manage your fonts like any other NPM dependency.

3. Privacy - Commit to privacy. Google does track the usage of their fonts and for those who are extremely privacy concerned, self-hosting is an alternative.

4. Offline - Your fonts load offline. This feature is beneficial for Progressive Web Apps and situations where you have limited or no access to the internet.

5. Additional Fonts - Support for fonts outside the Google Font ecosystem. This repository is constantly evolving with other Open Source fonts. Feel free to contribute!

Sounds similar to the case with Jellyfin & Findroid (and likely Swiftfin)

The official Jellyfin app has full functionality, but it feels clunky. Especially for casual users.

The native third party app is smooth, intuitive, and visually nice, but is missing a few features (ex. Admin dashboard).

What I’ve seen recommended was:

• Findroid (and likely Swiftfin) for daily use
• Keep the official Jellyfin app installed for when it is needed

Meets some of the requirements of !taneggs@lemmy.ca

• [X] prey animal
• [X] mammal
• [ ] lives in a barren rocky landscape
• [X] looks like a tan egg

They look much happier in their current habitat

It’s not supposed to be since the rules say

Things that don’t fit

• Minor app updates
• Government legislation
• Company news
• Opinion pieces

I’ll report the post and see what the mods do, likely they didn’t see it yet

This seems like an area where there’s demand for a carefully moderated community, even if there is less content over all. That might help with the state of tech news that other comments are mentioning

uBlock Origin is the main one

Search by Image and Web Archives are two others that I like to have on mobile

I’d love to learn some more as well :)

I linked the wrong community earlier and then changed it

If the lemmit one also looks empty, it could be because you are the first person in your instance to come across the community. If you subscribe, it should start pulling the contents so you can see it.

It doesn’t look like lemm.ee blocked it so hopefully the stuff above is the cause

Firefox with a handful of extensions for day to day use

I keep Brave with custom configuration ready for when extra privacy is needed. Firefox based browsers on Android are currently missing site isolation so that’s what privacy guides recommends for the time being.

It might be cool to see something like Zen on Android, but I’m not sure what changes I’d like to see aesthetics / features wise. Brave looks fancier, but I find it annoying to use for a number of reasons. Off the top of my head

• when you close a tab, the undo message stays for way too long and can’t be dismissed

• Unable to disable chromecast

While possible, I think it ends up being a bit of a janky setup. The problem is that Lemmy doesn’t let you follow individual users, whether they are on Lemmy or Mastodon.

You could try out mbin. It’s similar to Lemmy, but has a microblogging feed that you can use to follow people

Personally I keep a separate mastodon account since I find the formats to be separate

Yup, the vast majority of the posts weren’t worth reading even before generative AI was this accessible

I use this community for that: !tech@programming.dev

The rules seem to be aligned with what you’re looking for.

Plus other communities on that instance depending on what you’re interested in.

Then there are feeds like !hackernews@lemmit.online to keep up with content on other sites. There are lots of RSS feed communities through the https://rss.ponder.cat/communities instance

It also works a bit like a security pattern, to make it difficult to read the contents without opening it

In a recent court proceeding, WMF’s legal team offered a supposed middle path, proposing it take the unusual step of serving summons to the editors itself, thereby revealing their identities only to the court, not the wider public. Wikipedians, however, do not see this as a compromise—it’s capitulation. Last week, Wikipedia editors published an open letter to the Foundation, urging it to protect its volunteers’ privacy regardless of the outcome. It reads in part

only to the court, not the wider public

Would this really be that much better? Once the information is out, it’s impossible to hide again

And the consequences would not end with this case. Compliance may discourage contributions from editors worldwide, not just those under authoritarian rule. WMF submission could encourage other governments to make similar demands, putting Wikipedia in an untenable position and reducing its influence where free knowledge is needed most

This bit also seemed important

I thought it was fedilore worthy, cross posted to !fediverselore@lemmy.ca

Too much for me, I’m out 🏳️

I think they should sell it to me.
