You shouldn’t use Brave simply because it’s heavily infected with crypto shit and tries to monitorize your web browsing time by default. Not everything you do has to be a side hustle.

Sure you can “switch it off” but then why not use something else in the first place that’s focus isn’t trying to make money out of you. If Brave ever gained any decent market share the web would be an even shitter place than what Google is suggesting at the moment.

Still using XMPP to this day and my current client is Gajim. Discord is still “better” overall than it. If XMPP could cleanly and neatly intergate voice chat (like Mumble) and support images and things smoothly then it would be great, but it does not. This is a big part of the reason “nobody” uses it beyond what happen with Google/Facebook.

I looked a little into making one but there isn’t an API for KBin that would translate into a good experience yet.

They have different UIs that are better tailored to their respective platforms so imo it’s better to have accounts on both.

You don’t need to have a single account for everything and it’s far better for several reasons not to, even when it comes to Lemmy. Your browser and apps remember your account details for you anyway.

Ah, that’s weird and unfortunate. Thanks for checking though.

Thanks heaps!

Oh man I haven’t heard of Liferea in years!

This is exactly what I did but it’s not pulling them. Might be on Lemmy’s side perhaps?

Edit: it’s not pulling in preview images like in the screenshots. It’s pulling article images from other feeds like Hacker News though when you open the full article.

This looks neat. I can’t get it to pull images though, any ideas?

This looks interesting, thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a whirl.

Thunderbird is basically an email client so the RSS feed reader mimics that, which is not what I’m after (kinda reminds me of being at work). Thanks for the suggestion though!

Not yet but I’m going to!

The best way I can think of at the moment is a searchable website that gives you a link to click to seamlessly subscribe to them directly.

It’d be fine if the website is user submitted rather than having to interrogate all the servers on the back end, because the results would have seen a human eye and be better quality.

This is what I do and it seems to work fine.

In practice right now it can be a bit schetchy tbh. Finding and subscribing to them is flakey and searching can be a bit hit and miss too.

When it does all work both smoothly and seemlessly then we’ll be golden.

If it were that easy (and cheap) to get devices that are completely open without the need to manually flash every single one then I already would.

Logseq is alright, but I hate the interface vs Joplin the latter of which is really similar to Evernote. You can also customize the hell out of it by editing the CSS too.

Yep same here, it saddens me because my house could be rocking some awesome stuff if it all just worked.

I wish HA was reliable. Every time I get motivated to set something up it inevitably stops working eventually.

I think this is mostly down to hardware vendors wanting to keep you in their walled garden and breaking APIs as well as the overly convoluted steps you have to go though to get stuff working (hello Google). But it still kills any enthusiasm I have for it.

Joplin.

You don’t strictly have to self host it but it’s gotten pretty good with a WYSIWYG editor now and everything.
