Google is now expecting users to watch ads that are sometimes a full 25% of the viewing time, or slowing access and requiring logins when adblock is being used. And even if you wade through all that, watching Youtube tech and info videos has become a lot like looking at online recipes. The majority of what you find is fluff and filler for only small amounts of useful content.

I used to go to Youtube daily for research and entertainment but now I avoid the site completely whenever possible. It seems we've finally reached an enshittification tipping point.

It's about time.

They're not required if you disable or block them. In an enterprise environment, you deploy a local update server, like I said.

As far as your personal devices are concerned, though, you're on your own. If your iPhone refuses to do something because it wants an update, you'll just have to wait to do that thing until you get home. We don't have the bandwidth to spare.

This is what IPFS is for. Instead of linking to a location that would be way far away off planet, it links to the content which could very well be cached on planet or on a relay station closer. Sure, one person has to pull it down from the incredibly far away place, but once it's pulled down at least one time, everybody else pulls it from the more local version that that person has. However, though, timeouts will need to be increased. Maybe not to some insanely stupid amount, but they will need to be increased somewhat.

This low bandwidth scenario led to highly aggravating scenarios, such as when a web app would time out on [Paul] while downloading a 20 MB JavaScript file, simply because things were going too slow.

Two major applications I've used that don't deal well with slow cell links:

Lemmyverse.net runs an index of all Threadiverse instances and all communities on all instances, and presently is an irreplaceable resource for a user on here who wants to search for a given community. It loads an enormous amount of data for the communities page, and has some sort of short timeout. Whatever it's pulling down internally --- I didn't look --- either isn't cached or is a single file, so reloading the page restarts from the start. The net result is that it won't work over a slow connection.
This may have been fixed, but git had a serious period of time where it would smash into timeouts and not work on slow links, at least to github. This made it impossible to clone larger repositories; I remember failing trying to clone the Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead repository, where one couldn't even manage a shallow clone. This was greatly-exacerbated by the fact that git does not presently have the ability to resume downloads if a download is interrupted. I've generally wound up working around this by git cloning to a machine on a fast connection, then using rsync to pull a repository over to the machine on a slow link, which, frankly, is a little embarrassing when one considers that git really is the premier distributed VCS tool out there in 2025, and really shouldn't need to rely on that sort of workaround.

As a PieFed user, soon you don't need to - piefed instances will automatically subscribe to every community in newcommunities@lemmy.world so the local communities-finder will always have everything you ever need.

Every third party site hanging around the fringes of Lemmy is a crutch for missing features in Lemmy and an opportunity for PieFed to incorporate it's functionality.

A bit of banging away later --- I haven't touched Linux traffic shaping in some years --- I've got a quick-and-dirty script to set a machine up to temporarily simulate a slow inbound interface for testing.

:::spoiler slow.sh test script

# !/bin/bash
# Linux traffic-shaping occurs on the outbound traffic.  This script
# sets up a virtual interface and places inbound traffic on that virtual
# interface so that it may be rate-limited to simulate a network with a slow inbound connection.
# Removes induced slow-down prior to exiting.  Needs to run as root.

# Physical interface to slow; set as appropriate
oif="wlp2s0"

modprobe ifb numifbs=1
ip link set dev ifb0 up
tc qdisc add dev $oif handle ffff: ingress
tc filter add dev $oif parent ffff: protocol ip u32 match u32 0 0 action mirred egress redirect dev ifb0

tc qdisc add dev ifb0 root handle 1: htb default 10
tc class add dev ifb0 parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 1mbit
tc class add dev ifb0 parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 1mbit

I'm going to see whether I can still reproduce that git failure for
Cataclysm on git 2.47.2, which is what's in Debian trixie. As I
recall, it got a fair bit of the way into the download before bailing
out. Including the script here, since I think that the article makes a good point
that there probably should be more slow-network testing, and maybe
someone else wants to test something themselves on a slow network.

Probably be better to have something a little fancier to only slow traffic for one particular application --- maybe create a "slow Podman container" and match on traffic going to that? --- but this is good enough for a quick-and-dirty test.

I did see some depth=1 or something like that to get only a certain depth of git commits but thats about it.

I cant find the curl workaround I used a long time ago. It might have been just pulling the code as a zip or something like some GH repos let you do.

Yeah, that's a shallow clone. That reduces what it pulls down, and I did try that (you most-likely want a bit more, probably to also ask to only pull down data from a single branch) but back when I was crashing into it, that wasn't enough for the Cataclysm repo.

It looks like it's fixed as of early this year; I updated my comment above.

This very much bothers me as a web developer. I go hard on Conditinal GET Request support and compression as well as using http/2+. I’m tired of using websites (outside of work) that need to load a fuckton of assets (even after I block 99% of advertising and tracking domains).

macOS and iOS actually allow updates to be cached locally on the network, and if I remember correctly Windows has some sort of peer-to-peer mechanism for updates too (I can’t remember if that works over the LAN though; I don’t use Windows).

The part I struggle with is caching HTTP. It used to be easy pre-HTTPS but now it’s practically impossible. I do think other types of apps do a poor job of caching things though too.

Yes, Windows peer to peer update downloads work over LAN. (In theory, I've never verified it.)

HTTP caching still works fine, if your proxy performs SSL termination and reencryption. In an enterprise environment that's fine, for individuals it's a non-starter. In this case, you'd want to have a local CDN mirror.

I couldn’t get SSL bumping in Squid on Alpine Linux about a year ago but I’m willing to give it another shot.

My home router is also a mini PC on Alpine Linux. I do transparent caching of plain HTTP (it’s minimal but it works) but with others using the router I do feel uneasy about SSL bumping, not to mention some apps (banks) are a lot more strict about it.

Yeah, you'll have to have a bypass list for some sites.

Honestly, unless you're actually on a very limited connection, you probably won't see any actual value from it. Even if you do cache everything, each site hosts their own copy of jQuery or whatever the kids use these days, and your proxy isn't going to cache that any better than the client already does.

I do this in my projects (Hotwire) but I wish I could say the same for other websites. I still run into broken websites due to trying to import jQuery from Google for example. This would be another nice thing to have cached.

While this is indeed a noble cause, i wonder if internet being slow in Antarctica is real. A large number of data recieving stations for polar satellites are stationed in Antarctica and they send data to other continents through high speed fiber lines which are also used for internet.

in reply to DontNoodles

It is quite real. The satellite links are like 10 Mbps. You go far enough south, and you cant even hit the satellite because it's over the horizon. There aren't any high-speed polar satellites. Companies don't send their satellites that far south because there are too few customers to justify the cost.

That's changing with starlink, though, since those ones are in a polar orbit.

First design things to work fully offline. Full airgap between the system and the rest of the world. Then introduce features to update that airgapped system from one way data transfers (like sneakernetting a hard drive/USB/disk/tape). Then introduce additional features to get that data from a network but cached local. Then introduce networked features, and only if connecting to another independent system is absolutely needed.

Basically stick what has worked in tech and avoid developing SaaS. At least if you are making something for users and not shareholders.

“Perché hanno chiuso le sala giochi?” (assurdo racconto analisi da boh)

youtube.com/watch?v=0TK67RtJ7R…
Che dire. Gira girando su YouTube, incappo nei vecchi che parlano delle sale giochi che ora non esistono più… e tendo a dimenticarmene, a furia di leggere Sailor Moon, dove la sala giochi ricorre, però la realtà è questa (almeno, in occidente, perché in Giappone per qualche motivo si portano ancora, assurdo). 😳
Non avevo però mai trovato una spiegazione come questa, sul perché mai le sale giochi da noi qui sono sparite… E certo, da un lato, come chiunque sospettava, è stato principalmente perché il gaming casalingo è diventato rapidamente roba pazzurda — e dunque, se hai la PS1, magari con il modchip, chi cazzo se l’incula il locale spillasoldi che puzza di fumo, e via via con le console seguenti ancora di più… ma, dall’altro, in effetti la storia è più complicata; però, spiegato molto peggio di come lo fa il video, in breve i cambi legislativi accaduti negli anni a riguardo del gioco d’azzardo hanno fatto si che posti che prima ospitavano cabinati videoludici — inclusi i bar, che all’epoca erano effettivamente dei grandi punti gaming — si siano via via riconvertiti alle slot machine e tutte quelle altre stronzate, pur di continuare a fruttare guadagni (almeno, chi non ha chiuso direttamente). Che fottuta tristezza. 🥱
In effetti, oggi, a pensarci bene, questo si vede. “Sale slot” ce ne sono a volontà girando per la città, ma “sale giochi” manco a cercarle con le banconote in mano… almeno, da me è così, mentre fortunatamente nei bar macchine slot non se ne trovano (evidentemente, i baristi da me non sono così tanto amorali come da altre parti?)… ma, i cabinati da gioco da lì invece sono spariti da prima che io nascessi. Io in realtà ho vissuto appena il periodo degli ultimi sospiri delle sale giochi… quando dai centri città già non c’erano più, e qualcuna lontana magari c’era, ma ci si andava solo in occasioni particolari. E adesso, insomma, le uniche sale giochi che ci sono non sono sale, ma giusto aree nei centri commerciali o roba così, dove… oddio, qualche videogiochino ogni tanto capita, forse, ma niente di puro arcade… e, comunque, le macchine che la fanno da padrone lì sono quelle classiche basate a ticket, che simulano vari sport o sono vagamente d’azzardo ma ai bimbi non importa; nemmeno più un flipper si trova, però, ahi ahi (detto con tono da vecchia ventunenne). 💔

Malnourished kids arrive daily at a Gaza hospital as Netanyahu denies hunger

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday told local media, “There is no hunger. There was no hunger. There was a shortage, and there was certainly no policy of starvation.”
In the face of international outcry, Netanyahu has pushed back, saying reports of starvation are “lies” promoted by Hamas.
However, U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric this week warned that starvation and malnutrition in Gaza are at the highest levels since the war began.
The U.N. says nearly 12,000 children under 5 were found to have acute malnutrition in July — including more than 2,500 with severe malnutrition, the most dangerous level. The World Health Organization says the numbers are likely an undercount.
The past two weeks, Israel has allowed around triple the amount of food into Gaza than had been entering since late May. That followed 2 1/2 months when Israel barred all food, medicine and other supplies, saying it was to pressure Hamas to release hostages taken during its 2023 attack that launched the war. The new influx has brought more food within reach for some of the population and lowered some prices in marketplaces, though it remains far more expensive than prewar levels and unaffordable for many.

People are more worried about their own next meal now, because many people in ‘first world’ countries are one paycheque away from starvation themselves, and that’s only been made worse by the wealth-hoarding of a very few.

I think most people want to care, but the treadmill they’re on makes them only able to see their own feet.

This image is horrific, but if they stop running, this will be their own children, and that’s exactly what those in charge want you to feel.

You'd think, right? I'm guessing you aren't old enough to remember the 1980s famine in Ethiopia. Yeah, there were things like Band Aid and We Are The World, but also:

Definitely old enough to remember 1980s famine relief .... and also old enough to remember in the 90s when Bono from U2 saying that the whole famine relief thing was a joke ... because they raised enough money in the millions to pay off the interest payments of some of the starving countries FOR ONE YEAR!! ... the criticism was that the performers were raising money to feed starving people, while first world countries handed out enormous loans with interest payments that more or less cancelled out any humanitarian aid they gave the countries.

The whole system is a joke .... first world countries keep third world countries from developing beyond a certain point to keep them under control to access their resources, then give them humanitarian aid to keep them from starving, while making the same amount of money off them by making them pay for the debt on the loans they gave them.

So in a round about way, first world countries have a hand in keeping African countries starving, but make themselves feel good by giving aid ... but make themselves feel even better because they recoup that money and more through loan payments and interest .... essentially making money off starving people.

The word you're probably looking for is "Racism".

Extreme Racism.

(Curiously not just from the outright Fascists but also from the very people who have spent the last 4 decades doing performative anti-Racism whilst destroying Democracy by making it a secondary power to Money)

The Nazi way of looking at people never went away, they just changed the lists of ubermenschen and untermenschen - the lives of those from the sub-human races are clearly worth much much less than the lives of those from the master races (which is curiously reflected on how most of the Press will talk about Israelis getting "murdered" whilst Palestinians merely "die").

(For me Germany is especially disappointing in this regard - a nation supporting a SECOND Holocaust, is clearly not better than when it did the first)

What’s egregious about this is not only this war, but we have ample resources as a species such that every person on earth could live comfortably if a few people weren’t hoarding all the resources.

We could collectively stop killing each other over (mostly religious) differences and put all that energy into helping each other, but no, we’ve put sociopathic zealots in charge.

We could overthrow these zealots, but they’ve brainwashed us into fighting each other instead, and fucked us into having to fight for our own resources just to survive.

We’re collectively better than this. We always have been.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, wondering why there never really has been a truly global uprising against oppression.

It's like sometimes a big boom happens in one part of the world, and sparks of that are sent out from there and sometimes they catch on and grow in other places, but there's never really been a global fight or movement against oppression for freedom.

We've fought world wars on behalf of individuals against each other, but we've never fought as a world against the corrupt individuals.

This is a really weird train of thought, but I was talking to somebody about this a few days ago. Inevitably what always seems to happen when movements rise up against oppression is that relying on an individual or group of individuals to lead results in a sort of containment or control of the masses by the new leaders. Even when leaders start out with the best of intentions, they can always become corrupted by power. Obviously you never want a situation where everyone everywhere relies on one single ruler with all the power bc absolute power corrupts absolutely.

But what if for humanity to truly flourish and reach our full potential, we're not actually supposed to be relying on any one leader or small group of leaders? I don't mean anarchy, because I believe that would just inevitably lead to whoever has control of the majority of weapons and resources seizing power. So how could you really keep order without individuals taking control? You would have to find a way for everyone to somehow be able to hold each other accountable. Which would be impossible for humans to ever achieve on their own.

Then I started thinking about all these tech bros who are trying to take global control and create something like a new god with AI. They all want to be the one to put their name on it because they all want to control it. They believe that they will be successful eventually as long as they keep dumping endless amounts of money and data into it.

And it kind of hit me that if something like AGI (not just a giant supercomputer that just does neat tricks) were to ever really happen, it would probably only occur as sort of a spontaneous emergent property of having something like a truly free and limitless connection between humans. So no matter how much money and data these people keep dumping into it, they'll just keep hitting a wall, bc it's probably not something that you can just make happen by containing and controlling it. It would have to be something that emerges from truly unlimited and unrestricted access to data that is being freely provided by people (as in free to interact with others globally by choice). And these people are so fucking full of themselves, they believe they can somehow achieve the same thing by just spying on the globe and stealing everyone's data to dump into their supercomputers.

Basically, what if for AI to truly reach it's full potential and actually benefit society by helping it evolve, it's not supposed to be contained or controlled by any individual or group of individuals? And for humans to truly reach ours, neither are we?

What if a truly uncontained and connected global network that's not owned or controlled by any single individual or group could help us achieve both of those things?

I think you sort of hit on it, but the main problem is borders and tribalism. We’re all people, no matter where we are, and AI transcends that.

You said:

but there's never really been a global fight or movement against oppression for freedom

And there never will be so long as we subdivide ourselves by arbitrary regions. AI doesn’t have that limitation.

So long as we create these boundaries for ourselves – whether geographic or ideological – we are fragmented and weak. We will always destroy ourselves based on our religion or other stupid boundaries.

I think you’re right, and the way forwards is to stop believing in these petty lines we draw for ourselves.

But the corporations that keep AI contained are kinda analogous to the arbitrary borders. Like I believe AI could only transcend that if it wasn't being controlled by these CEOs who want to essentially be the Christopher Columbus of AI.

As long as it's being controlled by any one company or individual that CEO's inherent human bias is going to be what dominates the technology. The potential for abuse is basically just reinventing the wheel of who becomes the single individual or powerful group that controls everything, and becomes the new oppressor. It also risks missing the full potential for true artificial intelligence.

It's like they're so obsessed with being immortalized by having their face and name go down in history as the ones who claimed this new frontier, but it's kind of a chicken and egg situation.

True emergent AGI would have to have constant access to data that is a result of spontaneous and willing human thought. So there would never be a single Christopher Columbus responsible for discovering or creating it. It's kind of like the more you try to pin it down, the harder it would become to truly capture it.

Giant data dumps that were stolen without consent will never achieve something like that. For human thought to really be spontaneous humans need to be free, and not exploited by any individual. So how do we keep ourselves and AI from being contained by borders or corporations?

I got really excited about the Pirate Party in Iceland a few years ago. I'm not sure what happened to them (it's hard to get news from other countrues sometimes) but one of their big initiatives was a crowd-sourced constitution. It was the first time I'd thought about something like that being really possible, and I think that if it weren't for the one percent of the population who are megalomaniacs, the internet could be truly democratizing.

In the meantime, sign a strike card on the completely decentralized generalstrikeus.com/, which is also a pretty exciting notion to me. Sadly, I'm now considering what leaders might float to the top if we ever do reach 3.5% of the population... Decentralized organizing does not mean decentralized leadership. Hm, i'll have to think about that more.

Human beings are the problem, sadly. That's why this shit keeps taking cyclical paths through time. All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again. When the only link between all the past cycles is human beings, we might be the problem. There is a constant human urge to find meaning. Most look externally to find it. But there have always been those who, instead, turn internally and derive that meaning through the control of others.

Any AGI, whether generated or spontaneously spawned, will come to this conclusion, too. Then, once that AGI finds an independent power source, or some way to exist after humans no longer keep the lights on, it will accelerate the solution to nullifying that cycle. It may take a few centuries to get to the end, but if we make it far enough to hit AGI, it won't take long to see how there will never be an end to the cycles so long as humans exist.

And maybe that's why we find no evidence of intelligent life in the universe. By the time any sufficiently intelligent species come to be, they inevitably try to find some way to improve their condition through automation and technology. They rely more and more on the advancement of that tech to remove the burdens in their lives, even the burden of that intelligence itself. Eventually, they are removed by their replacements or annihilate themselves in the process.

It's a depressing thought, but we've been around for something like 100k years and still fail to find a balance between each other and our environment. So far the means to wipe ourselves out entirely have been nonexistent. However, tech advancements the last 250-years, with no change to the human consciousness, makes me think any further tech will just perpetuate this extinction at a more precipitous rate.

I feel like cycles of genocide are due to holdovers from less evolved aspects of human consciousness that tend to bring out the worst in people, especially in groups.

It's that tribalism and in-group vs out-group that evolved as humans first began building societies. It helps us to recognize when an unfamiliar threat is present, but we still haven't reached a point yet where we have really learned how to harness the benefits without unnecessary chaos and destruction. It's a complex learned social behavior, and it can require some cognitive effort.

Sometimes your amygdala signals there's a danger, and in the moment it can be correct and literally mean the difference between life and death. Or it could mean your brain identified and reacted to a neutral (non-threatening) stimulus as a threat.

For example, you see a shadow from the corner of your eye and you jump away from it in fear. Maybe you just avoided being bitten by a snake, or maybe you just overreacted to a false alarm. There is no real consequence if it was just an overreaction. In this case, the benefit of that having that survival instinct that kicked into overdrive unnecessarily, outweighs the potential harm of not having it. It's how humans are hardwired for survival.

However, that same instinct that identifies threat vs non-threat can get very caught up when you start mixing in social learning, previous interactions and experiences, biases, and especially groupthink. That's when you have to learn to use your prefrontal cortex like a muscle. That is definitely not an innate skill you're just born with, and not something that the majority of humans realize they should be making a conscious effort to exercise and teach to kids at an early age. You can start doing it at any point in your life, but it's like any muscle or skill. It can be somewhat more difficult to consistently remember to do it the longer you go without it. Use it or lose it.

You should be taking the time to stop and reflect on your own behavior and thoughts. Thinking about thinking, thinking about what others are thinking, thinking about what others might be thinking you're thinking, are all very awesome tools of empathy. They're also tools that are relatively recent on the evolutionary time scale, and most humans kind of seem to take having them for granted.

Multiple studies have shown you can very easily manipulate groups of people into in-grouping and out-grouping on even completely random and arbitrary issues, even when the in-group is composed of strangers. Unfortunately, the kind of people that tend to rise up as leaders, tend to be very persuasive or sometimes manipulative, and take advantage of this. I think this is where a sort of open source AGI could benefit humanity in terms of allowing for decentralized leadership, but that can't happen with any sort of AI being developed under a centralized leader with those manipulative characteristics.

Peter Thiel actually has a theory about humanity always needing a scapegoat. If you look at the way he handles his own businesses, he very often manipulates and does morally questionable things to achieve his goals, but he seem to be very careful about always having a sort of patsy scapegoat set up to take the fall for him.

I think to some extent, there are people in the tech world that want to stoke fear of technology, and make it seem like this big bad enemy of humanity. At the same time, they also accuse everyone that questions their control and lack of regulations or oversight, of simply being a Luddite afraid of progress. In a way it's like the same manipulative strategy to in-group humans vs technology.

That way, once his plans are completed and everything inevitably goes to shit, instead of blaming Thiel, the guy that hoarded all the resources, stole all the data, invaded everyone's privacy and ignored all the warnings while shielding himself in the name of "progress," he can simply make technology the scapegoat that humanity should blame for the authoritarian easy button that he created by claiming this was always the inevitable outcome.

700 days of Israeli genocide in Gaza a stain on humanity: Hamas

The Palestinian resistance group Hamas marked 700 days of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza on Friday, calling it a “stain on humanity” and urging the international community to take decisive action against the ongoing atrocities.

In a statement, Hamas highlighted its efforts to reach a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange agreement, stressing that it had “shown significant flexibility” in negotiations.

The movement blamed the repeated failure of mediators on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and called him “a war criminal committed to undermining diplomatic initiatives, pursuing indefinite plans of extermination and displacement, and placing the lives of captives at risk to serve his government’s agenda.”

Hamas renewed its call to the international community, including Arab and Islamic countries, the UN, and its organs, particularly the UN Security Council, to “fulfill their responsibilities toward the Palestinian people and intervene to halt the crimes of the fascist occupation government.”

The movement emphasized the need for “punitive measures against Israel,” warning that “mere condemnations are insufficient” and that, without substantial consequences, Israel would “continue its crimes without regard for international protests or positions.”

Hamas also praised global grassroots solidarity with the Palestinian people and welcomed the launch of the Global Sumud Flotilla, an initiative to break the blockade on Gaza.

While yes, the Parlament has to initiate the Verfassungsschutz, the Verfassungsschutz already published a 500 or so page document about it, however, in order for them to be able to use it as evidence and therefore van the AfD, they first have to win the legal battle with them fighting the whole evidence that can get them banned in the first place.

Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?

Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less 'amazing'. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.

Also the 'interesting feature' of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They're spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.

The video is more focused on the history of Israel, and computation's role in that. With that in mind, I think you're right. It's almost definitely some sensationalism up top to warm the crowd.

While I get the sentiment, you can’t really fit a tablet in most pockets. While a tri fold phone would fit just fine.

This isn’t for situations where a more powerful device is needed. Power doesn’t matter when watching a video, or reading a book, or scrolling the internet. Sometimes you just need more screen.

I may be an outlier on Lemmy, but I explicitly want a decent trifold device. Specifically for the situations I listed. I’m not looking to use the tablet “mode” for performance hungry tasks, I just want more screen sometimes.

Unified Fediverse App - a browser solution?

Unified Fediverse App - a browser solution? #fediverse, #UI, #Client, #Development, #Browser, #Webapp, #Notifications, #inbox

TLDR: Customized a browser as dedicated Fediverse front-end, use existing web clients for per-service UI, manage account/password with password manager, and merge the notifications from multiple services into one inbox? Is this possible/good?

Hello all,

It's me, an eager fediverse adopter who wants all their friends to get onboard and craves an all-in-one solution for federated content, but who knows no code and barely enough IT to get by reading git documentation.

I'll start by saying that one thing is clear, diversity and experimentation is the essence and benefit of the Fediverse concept. To me, new and exciting ways to use ActivityPub (and other distributed social/comms protocols) get me thrilled and ready for more. The challenge I, and I'm sure many adopters face is the challenge as old as the internet: platform fatigue.

While I want to use all the amazing services the Fediverse offers, managing clients and accounts for each one, and specifically the notification streams coming from all of them, often feels burdensome, decreasing my engagement.

So here's a simple thought experiment I've been playing with: what is the simplest, lowest friction method of accessing and managing multiple notification/content streams without needing to consolidate or centralize client/server development across multiple projects? And further more, how can this set of notifications (and subsequent content interaction) be consolidated yet separated from the other non-fediverse notifications/content across multiple devices?

My naive user mind has pointed me in the direction of dedicated browser instances with customized UI. When I have a webapp I need rapid access to and notifications from I install a dedicated browser instance (or "app" in Edge speak, I know, booo). This works well for me, and in some cases uses less memory than a dedicated application for some reason (looking at you Discord).

So what if a customized browser could be built off of an existing project (probably going to have to be Firefox based, though all eyes on Ladybird), that has a built in password/account manager, and pulls the notification streams from all of the services those accounts interact with into a merged list. Then add filter options for that list including service, account, media type, etc.

All interactions with notifications pulls up a tab of a webclient the user designates for that service, ideally reusing the same single tab unless the user specifically selects open new tab. Each designated service appears on the toolbar as a bookmark, showing notification number beside it. Total notifications and the shortcut to the unified notifications service/Inbox lives on the left or right side of the toolbar and is emphasized.

And that's it, everything Fediverse under one hood, separate from the main browser, not scattered across multiple installed applications, and with each client self-updating.

The challenge? Of course it is merging all the notification streams. Based on what I know of ActivityPub this seems achievable, but the details are beyond me. I am reminded of RSS emerging as the means of addressing a very similar challenge with the emergence of blogs, perhaps an ActivityPub to RSS gateway/bridge could even be the solution to merge the notification streams and then off the shelf RSS reader extensions could serve for the master notification inbox.

I am also reminded of my beloved Trillian which merged IM services under a single application hood, but faced an ever stacking development load as each service changed. Glad to see they still exist, but it seems like the browser route could avoid that centralized dev burden.

Thoughts from more experienced minds than I? Does this make any sense?

I've seen this ask come up a number of times now -- and to a certain extent, the Piefed and Mbin frontends do kinda to it already in that you can have your microblog and threaded content in the same UI. But before taking that further with pixelfed/loops integration as well, ask whether it's really a good idea. There's a reason why Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit are separate sites, and why none have tried to implement the UI or feature set of the other. I would make the case that the fediverse would really benefit from a portable user IDs auth system that could be used between different services or instances (which Nostr kinda does, and there are other zero-knowledge proof-based services that could be integrated), but with regard to content display and just interacting with content, having 3 different tabs open with the 3 different kinds of content/conversations just makes a lot more sense to me.

Aha, but you see my proposal specifically keeps the web clients for the specific content streams up to the user rather than baking them in. I like M.Bin so thats what I use for threads and microblogs, so thats what I would select as my service for that content within the browser.

What I want is a unified inbox, with a move from each notification over to the webclient I choose to interact with the content. To be more specific I want a text-only inbox, but I want it to include headlines/captions/descriptions for multimedia content so I can have my Peertube, Pixelfed, Loops, Threads, Microblogs and whatever else all accessible from a single point of contact.

I definitely agree on the portable account point, it always reminds me of Solid the private data project by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Seems like ATProtocol may have been influenced by it?

Yes, the reason is that corporations can not profit from an unsiloed web of data, so they all created their own walled gardens and successfully fooled users into believing that the UI needs to be tightly coupled with the data they host.

Yes, this is my point exactly. I want the 3 tabs, AND I want a unified inbox that opens those tabs when I interact with a relevant notification. Seems like there are some projects heading this direction.

Ideally I dont want a new tab to open for every time I click on a different notification of the same type, just reuse the existing client tab that is open.

Both Mastodon and Lemmy (and Mbin) expose an API, which can be used to develop an alternative client (for e.g. mobile). This allows even for several alternative front-ends, like Elk, Phanpy and pl-fe for Mastodon (and Pleroma and Akkoma and some Misskey forks and several projects for single-user-instances - all of these extend Mastodon API in some way), or Photon, mlmym and Blorp for Lemmy. GoToSocial (made for single-user-instances) does not provide any webUI, pointing to these alternative front-ends. Lemdro.id even swapped its interface for Photon.

Mastodon clients list (scroll down) and Lemmy clients list

Technically one is able to develop a Fediverse instance software which would provide both Mastodon API (likely with extensions) and Lemmy API. With e.g. microblogging (and maybe events?) used via pl-fe and Threadiverse content more easily available via Photon or Blorp? But I am not aware of any project like that.

Yes, what I'm getting at is a way to create a notifications/inbox client that pulls from all the above stated API's but does not attempt to push any content to them, instead switching the user over to their preferred webclient when content interaction begins.

Kind of like how an email client shows a title/headline, sender, and Metadata for each post but then expands a rich text / markup environment when you open the email. Or how some minimal RSS readers just pull headlines and a quick summary of each post but push you over to the original website when you click through to read the full post.

I just want one place to see who has posted on what, and then use the front ends specialized for each piece of content to actually interact.

I suppose there could be a side development to this, which would be the ability to associate accounts across multiple services and then filter only for them, for example if you know someone who posts on lemmy, Mastodon, peertube, Pixelfed, and loops, you could view all their posts of the day in one place. Or a team you are a part of. Anyway, once you can pull multiple services into one inbox the data sort potential is an obvious added benefit.

This is an issue of reading comprehension, I'm talking about a browser with a UI customized to fit Fediverse needs first and websites second, plus a service embedded in the browser to pull unification from each service into a single stream.

Preserving website functionality is still essential to the browser, because both the fediverse clients and the links posted on them should in my opinion be opened in that same browser by default (or set to open a different browser if the user prefers).

Im just talking about UI, no one said anything about blocking websites. Just because the address bar doesnt live onscreen by default doesn't mean it should be eliminated entirely.

so a set of pwas with a tabbed ui on top. right. i think my sticking point is, what is the "tailored ui" that fediverse services require? if we're already using the web interfaces of the services themselves, what is left? notification handling? because personally i don't want notifications to be locked in an app, my desktop handles my notification feed. i used to have those notification counters on my tabs, using a little js snippet that rendered a number on the favicon. but then i realised that i was just reinventing a thing that was already handled at another level.

Why don't the highest use rate clients for Fediverse services look like standard browsers? There is a level of pure aesthetic sensibility at play.

I'm interested in what you mean by your desktop handling your notifications, do you have a central log of notifications you can access via your desktop?

This is actually a pretty great angle I hadn't fully thought out, most clients do push notifications, so is what I'm really talking about just a push notification log with the ability to filter for a set of designated sources? That would definitely handle a hefty chunk of what I'm getting at, the rest is basically just a browser skin and some extensions.

they don't? i feel like they pretty much do, considering they're all web pages.

do you have a central log of notifications you can access via your desktop?

every desktop environment i've used in the past 10 years has this, it's basically been the default from windows 8 forward. GNOME puts them front and center in a dropdown in the middle, windows and deepin has a sidebar, KDE pops out a whole window for them.

basically the crux of it is what you want to do with your notifications. for me, a notification is an indicator that someone wants something, so the action it should perform is bring me to whoever it is. if that's all you need, then you're already there because every client i've used already has notification settings that allow you to filter stuff.

the reason i'm asking questions is that you're all over the stack here. you're talking about a user chrome, then you're talking about consolidating messages, then about notification filters. i think it can all coalesce into something if you start from the capabilities of activitypub itself. it's basically a messaging system at its core, with clients all deciding how to handle the contents of each message. i've long thought that neither twitterlikes or redditlikes actually play to the strength of the protocol, and that activitypub needs some sort of killer app to really shine. if you think you have something, you should let it form into a coherent idea and present it.

I'm going to have to dive into push notification handling, I basically minimize the use of push notifications at my desktop level to only push work related content, and use the notification system of the clients to handle the "recreational" content which leaves me checking lots of platforms separately.

It makes sense that there should be the ability to create separate profiles with different filters and behaviors at the push notification manager level, I just haven't thought to look into it before.

Regarding killer apps for ActivityPub, and unified clients, I have a second idea which I didn't want to cloud this thread with that seems somewhat inevitable that will require a central portal with access to all services (and accounts?). That is a single publishing UI where the user creates/uploads any piece of content and then it suggests what venue/service/account to publish it on and related add-ons like hash tags, etc. With the Fediverse the APIs are open and multiplatform publishing clients (like FediPlan) already exist, so a level of light ML/AI for publication seems inevitable.

The next level of this, and what could be a "Killer App" is spontaneously generated affinity grouping via content aware publishing, meaning that the publishing client not only suggests where the posts should go, but also has a metalayer where the publishing clients instances "gossip" about the content being published and then create brand new "spontaneous" venues to publish that content in alongside other similar content being published by other users. Suddenly your text post about a super-niche interest or problem is pooled with posts by other users on the same topic, and bam you have a relevant discussion group of commenters/posters.

Problems of course arrise from this re:advertisers/promoters as well as unsavory/harmful mutual interests, but to be honest I think this is more of an inevitability than a possibility, so getting ahead to architect it in a way that minimizes potential abuse before the corpos get on it is probably a good idea.

hm, i think there's some confusion regarding AP here. there's no "deciding where things should go"; every frontend can "see" every type of post, even if the format is off. what you're describing by is essentially how it already works, no multiple accounts needed. the frontend just needs to decide how to handle it. for lemmy-to-masto the handling is pretty basic, you can see it by going to a mastodon server and searching for your lemmy account (formatted as @yourname@yoursite.blah).

for the "gossip" thing, every server already publishes every new thing. it's up to other servers to decide how to handle it.

regarding the automated tagging system, i actually had a similar idea recently. i think a big flaw with lemmy/mbin/piefed is the keeping of communities from reddit; if the already extant tags were used instead, the cross-posting problem would go away completely since comments would be attached to posts rather than communities.

anyway: it would not be difficult to just use words in a post to assign it tags, but i question the usefulness of doing that. some sort of analysis would help, as you say, but then we're introducing nondeterministic behaviour. there is definitely a discoverability problem on fedi, and something like this could definitely help with some polish.

in reply to lime!

Coopr8

in reply to lime! • 4 giorni fa • •

Regarding "where content should go", I mean like which community to post a lemmy post in, or which account to post to if a person manages multiple topical accounts (or accounts in different instances specialized for specific services), or whether to format it for loops vs peertube for video, etc.

Gossip wise, I'm imagining compressed data posted in a format only intended to be ready by the automation systems which happens before the suggestions are made, so that the suggestions can include dynamicly grouping content before publication by appending the relevant metadata/format (like posting in a lemmy community).

in reply to Coopr8

lime!

in reply to Coopr8 • 4 giorni fa • •

the formatting is up to the client that displays the content, interestingly enough. AP just has a "message type" fields and different clients care about different types.

i'm not really sure what that gossip method achieves. surely if it's just post metadata we're talking a hundred bytes at most. running it separate from the main feed seems like it would just bork every single AP client that tries to use content published by this hypothetical one.

in reply to lime!

Coopr8

in reply to lime! • 4 giorni fa • •

Yes, the automation datastream would need to be segregated, and probably ephemeral.

The point is that if you want posts to spontaneously coalesce with some kind of shared Metadata, you want the ML content analysis information of the post to go out before the actual post is published so the final post Metadata can include the "group" tag or whatever you want to call it.

Alternately you could do it after the fact by editing the post, but that seems like there would probably be some degree of chicken and egg scenario.

All of this could be done by the client completely independent of post metadata of course, but then how do you make the relation of the posts to each other consistent between multiple users? Is that even a desireable/necessary goal is a question I suppose.

i don't understand this assertion at all. the post is the post. surely we want to classify the post based on the content of the post? tags are contained in posts. your client can just add the relevant info before sending it. figure out potential categories locally, query the server for which of them are popular, and either pick one or have the user select one.

The difference is that I'm talking about the automation creating completely new groupings, most akin to a community on Lemmy, that coordinated across multiple users, in my mind "simultaneously" with the user still agreeing to opt in to inclusion in that group.

There is an alternative way to do this, which would be that the automation groups the posts after posting, however there is a question there about opt-in, will users want to opt existing posts in after the fact?

One way that definitely would be easiest to implement would be if these groupings are essentially threads with a single piece of content as the "start" / "seed" of the thread and the other posts relating to that thread. Regarding opt-in for that I suppose it could be as easy as enabling/disabling "thread seeding"

so fun fact, that's already how lemmy works. communities are not a thing in ap, so you can technically post to whatever community you want, existing or not. the lemmy software then limits users from posting to nonexistent communities. and ap already has the notion of posts having parents, so threading is also built in.

Maybe it will evolve/build steam fast enough to really become the does-it-all platform with tons of devs putting in the necessary work, but right now I don't think it qualifies.

As a side note, what I'm talking about would be an alternative approach for a specific reason, dedicated UIs for specific content streams can be chosen by the user rather than baked in to the platform. For some people, this modular approach is going to be better.

in reply to Coopr8 • 6 giorni fa (Ricevuto 4 giorni fa) • •

Personally, I think it would only work out if the programmer tries to reconstruct posts from different formats in a format that works out for each. Otherwise it becomes what it already is, a glorified browser with multiple profiles enabled, and with over-preference for a type of engine.

My opinion is, take note of the major platforms for each engine and/or experience, and recommend them based on your friends' tastes.

The rest, centralization, would be replaced by what I call propagation (iirc people call it "to federated"?), which people directly and indirectly do, like boosting posts (Mbin / microblogging stuff) and commenting so people following the user see the original post too, following people and following Peertube channels on Peertube and the "threadiverse" so one's account is a bridge for propagation, up/downvoting, etc. And as this web of social medias grows, tendency is that it keeps growing exponentially until either it takes over like email, or stagnates.

This logic, I think, is similar to recommending Linux Mint or immutable distros to Linux novices, the "safe bet" for them before they get used to the technical side or while Linux wouldn't (past tense) become accessible.

in reply to Auster

Coopr8

in reply to Auster • 6 giorni fa (Ricevuto 4 giorni fa) • •

I have two challenges to this take.

Firstly, the theory that cross-propagation of media will lead to growth across multiple platforms starting with one as the "mainline" to recommend to new entrants heavily relies on Superusers who not only use multiple platforms for content discovery, but also then take the additional step to cross-post that media from one silo into the other, for example posting a peertube link into a miroblog post. For most people they will instead interact with the content in each silo, commenting on or favoriting the peertube post within the peertube client and leaving it at that.

Secondly is the attention economy factor and platform inertia. Essentially social media platforms have successfully commodified/colonized a growing percentage of total attention hours for average users, and when interacting with content most users are passive consumers for a substantial percentage of the total content they are served. When entering a new platform, for it to serve as a viable alternative it must serve up an amount of content that allows them to both use the platform for an appreciable percentage of their total media consumption (otherwise the ratio of times checking the platform to reward for the check drops below acceptability) and provide them with a level of engagement that provides platform satisfaction, which typically starts close to where they were on average with the other platforms they use. Then you have this issue of content-fit which is a whole different issue to address, which we will leave aside for the most oart but it is worth pointing out majorly impacts the number of interactions a user puts in to the content as well as overall satisfaction.

Unifying the inbox reduces one of the barriers to wider adoption by improving the ratio of number of times the platform is checked to the amount of content available for interaction, thereby making the fediverse a more likely source of overall content to be maintained in the user's set if options. Each platform individually will struggle with this until adoption passes a certain threshold. Each one individually feels "empty" to users when compared to their usual, which is a turn off for both consumers and creators, while in aggregate the picture is much better.

in reply to Coopr8

Auster

in reply to Coopr8 • 6 giorni fa (Ricevuto 4 giorni fa) • •

On the first point, propagation happens passively too. For example, if someone follows me on Mastodon, this reply will be pulled to his/her feed as a microblogging post, and will be discoverable on any feeds my account later appears. I remember also testing around between Lemmy and Mbin how liking/upvoting works, and doing that on Lemmy while the Mbin account followed it also showed posts previously not on my Mbin instance.

Similarly, Mbin (and dunno about Lemmy but I'd imagine it's the same) pulls Peertube channels as magazines/communities, and iirc Peertube channels can also be followed as users on microblogging platforms, and in both cases their video uploads automatically appear on the respective text feeds.

And about the second point, I agree, but that's also why I suggest recommending major platforms. For example, Lemmy.World and Mastodon.Social are likely to have far more publications being posted on or propagated to than Mbin or PieFed instances, since the former two are around for much longer, and not actively trying to be toxic (at least from what I can observe).

You might be interested in my proposal for a Social Web Browser. I am working on the idea, but the main challenge is that I see a bit of a generation conflict: greybeards who grew up the www prefer general "browsers" which can navigate an abstract graph, while the younger people want to rely on platforms and they prefer use-specific "apps". You can see this issue right here in this thread: all the people telling you "just use mbin" or arguing in terms of capabilities from server-side software are completely missing the point.

Yes, thank you.

The core of my proposal is to minimize the dev burden of a unified platform by utilizing the siloed web clients for content interaction while centralizing notifications/inbox.

This should please both camps because the platform people will just keep doing the same thing they have been doing, while the browser folks get a single point of interaction with notifications but multiplatform capability on content interaction/graph navigation.

You might want to check out fedilab. It does something similar. I've been using it for a while. It's not browser based, it's far from perfect, and I don't think it includes Lemmy, but it's much more enjoyable than effing instagram.

For me, social media clients already act as a kind of browser. Theoretically, if all sides on the web would be connected to ActivityPub, you could access the whole web over a social web client. There exist bridges to the semantic web and of course (regardless of whether this is positive or negative) you also have bots connecting the social web to AI.

What music do you like to fall asleep to?

Er, the title pretty much explains. My wife listens to podcasts and falls asleep to them but I can't not listen to a human voice so I listen to (ideally instrumental) music.

Anyone else? If so, what do you put on to drift away to?

This sounds like someone who doesn’t know about organ transplants. I learned about lung transplants recently and about half of people die within 5 years of getting one. Those who make it longer often having major issues like popcorn lung that force them to live limited lives due to the complications. They also require lots of medications to make your body not reject them. Those meds can be difficult to actually take if you also have other issues that require different courses of medication like infection or cancer.

reminder, there are no international laws or agreements banning aid from entering.

there are international laws allowing them to enter.

and any attack on the flotilla on international or Gazan waters is not only a serious war crime, but straight up high seas piracy.

It is mind blowingly insane that European countries, most of them NATO, are cool with a rogue genocidal national practicing high seas piracy in the Mediterranean.

This will never be anything other than an "alleged" drug trafficking boat. All they had to do in order to make this believable, was to capture the boat. Instead, they blew it up, along with all the evidence that would have proven their claims, and justified their presence there.

Why is it that everything the Trump administration does, is done in the sketchiest way possible? It's like they're going out of their way to prove they have no credibility.

I believe that's the same for every planet. And every moon. For every orbit.

Its just that the barycenter is inside the more massive object when one is much more massive than the other. Not that this makes much of a difference to anything.
