i just use yt-dlp to download the video these days. i have lots of filters in addition to ublock’s default ones, somehow they’re clashing with youtube and i can’t properly play any video. yt-dlp+mpv is also much faster on my potato system, and makes me save videos.

the japanese imperial flag in the background is quite disturbing.

Maybe I should retry it, but I had very bad experience with Matrix in general (Element.io and FluffyChat, web and android) so I’m honestly thinking of it as the last option. Search feature was also pretty mediocre.

I’m honestly not sure. there’s a call icon below the message input box that generates at Jitsi meet link when clicked, however there doesn’t seem to be much integration than that. There’s no indicator that shows there’s a Jitsi meeting going on on Zulip side. My friends frequently use Discord’s voice chat feature to see if there’s anyone already in the room and whether they’re sharing screen/mic on, so this is a quite necessary feature.

poor kana, but tbh there are too many red flags it almost kinda feels dumb

I used instaloader to scrape about 5 profiles (my friends, ofc i have their permission) every day (was it called story? the 24h expiring thing). occasionally the token(?) saved in instaloader would expire and display their warning saying there was “Suspicious activity” or something, so i setup a simple script to run firefox to login and extract cookies from it every time. Had that running for some weeks and it was permabanned

it seems like a really good program. sadly they don’t have voice chat/screen sharing…

for some older pixel (pixel 2) there was some sketchy chinese dude that remotely bootloader unlocks the device for USD$30, tho i haven’t tried that myself. most likely using some leaked engineering bootloader binary.

devuan is a solid distro that just works, not sure what’s your problem with that

i used an instagram scraper tool with an account, at some point they suspended the account and required my ID. I obviously refused and just let it rot, at some point they deleted my account.

if you have the storage, just dump the whole drive. you can then boot that windows installation again, or even use it on a vm under linux.

just installed firefox 56 for some nostalgia and indeed it’s much better lol. also hella smooth

it’s generally a good idea to not have your home folder accessible to windows programs running under wine. other than that, i don’t see the need for an antivirus. keep your system updated, and use virustotal for the occasional suspicious file

god i hate this… the current ui is almost perfect :/

do you know if stoat’s ios client good enough? last i tried the android one was also very basic.

isn’t it just a webapp? should be trivial to package as a ‘standalone program’

they don’t have screen sharing :/

personally i’d also backup the messages before deleting, this works well https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter

their ui was perfect. why can’t we have nice things…

no. i believe you’re talking about how existing x11 programs can run under wayland through xwayland. kde plasma as of now can still operate as an X11 DE.
