No and that's not my point. Fox news is slanted just as much as CNN. I mainly only get my news from Reuters and APnews (not including tech news). I recommend you to look at resources like Media Bias Factcheck or an app called Ground News.

I just looked at your profile and holy shit, you spam like this everywhere. Just one post is fine, no need to repost it a million times.

In what way is it different from TPB AFK?

Peertube in it's current form is not a replacement for anyone other than tech nerds and it's not gonna change unless some real changes are made to how the platform fundamentally operates.

  1. The federation is currently opt in so the videos you see are largely dependant on which instance you choose. They made this choice because of the obvious problem – storage cost.
  2. You're stuck hopping between instances because the content is really fragmented.
  3. I don't think that there are currently ways to stream other instances' content if the content is not mirrored onto the instance that you're on.
  4. No way to search through the whole fediverse for content on many instances, but it is available on some, like fair.tube.

This is just my opinion so correct me if you think I'm wrong. Many of these problems have plagued the site for a while.

I much prefer OsmAnd. Organic maps is too simplistic for my taste.

I used to use it, but now use Weather Master that's available through izzyonddroid. It's even more aesthetically pleasing imo and also let's you choose from more sources.

I understand the reasoning for it since many apps can see photos on your device so if it is something that should stay private you probably shouldn't be taking screenshots anyway, but I also can see how it could be annoying. I quite like the feature on messaging apps actually.

 

So I know that there is Lemmy redirect and linksheet with which you could technically open Lemmy links in your preferred app, but there has got to be a better way. This should definitely be a feature that gets added since the possibility of your actually finding a post from your own instance on Google(or duckduckgo) is very slim. I can't imagine Lemmy gaining much of a following before flaws like this are ironed out.

That's what I'm also doing – using a junk old laptop as NAS and it's been pretty great so far. What would you recommend for expanding the storage of it? It has a SATA 2.5" port and I believe an nvme SSD slot. From past experience, the bigger 2.5" HDDs are slow and have a high failure rate. Maybe it's just time to ditch the old laptop.

I mean isn't it already that is included in the datasets? It's pretty much a mix of everything.
