Now that Google is slowly but surely going to shits, i’m searching for a new search engine, and i was thinking, of going the extra mile and hosting my own, decentralized one, but which one should i choose (YACY, Presearch or Seeks), or are all of them not there yet?

They don't. There is no scheme. Nobody gets fired because they're a DEI. People get fired because of blatant racism.

You also could make it the default search engine in the settings menu. Also works on desktop.

HOW?! How are these reflections so goood??

I just read a bit through some forum posts, and the 3 v2 seems to be one of the worst printers in Enders whole lineup. That's probably why our experiences are so different.

I think calling Ender "Chinese Crap" a bit harsh. I'm using an Ender 5 Plus, and I love it. Didn't even had to tinker a tiny bit to get it working right (Except for Leveling of course). It's reliable as hell, and not even 2% of my prints fail. Only improvement I would recommend is a a smaller nozzle.

Now he completely lost his mind...

Streaming one video for several minutes, and skipping between numerous videos every couple of seconds, is orders of magnitude more expensive. Video compression works on the idea that you store entire pictures rarely, and then just encode the difference between each frame. When you constantly need the start of videos, you constantly need the full picture of the first frame. This induces a much higher bandwidth requirement than with video that streams for several minutes continuously. Also consider the response time that is required to make the TikTok experience work.

Yeah, it would probably have to load the next 5-10 Videos in advance, and probably even continue sharing the last 5-10 to make the torrenting work properly. And the bandwidth use would be even higher this way... It would be possible to use even more advanced compression algorithms than TikTok, but that would require more performance on the clients end, and therefore lock out a lot of old and cheap devices.

I've gone of the google play charts.

I mean independent sponsorships still exist, and for most creators, that's the biggest source of income anyway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

A peertube approach would be a great way of saving bandwidth

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Nobody pays for that much bandwidth without the ability to manipulate you through profiling and impressions. You are the product. The product is not sharing videos. There is no fediverse platform that makes you its whore. If you were to make a video sharing platform, it would never work, because that is not the product, it's only a feature of what makes up the dopamine machine.

I mean, video streaming platforms already exist as part of the fediverse (Peertube) so i would disagree on you with you on that one.

 

In the last few months i really gotten into the whole Fediverse thing, but i noticed that, despite it being the most popular Social Media Platform, there isn't a TikTok alternative. I know there is Loops, but it's not open source or federated yet, so it's not really an option. Why is that?

 

Is there a way to manually change GNSS Networks (Galileo, GLONASS, Navstar, BeiDou) on android? Or at least deactivate a specific one? Maybe with root access?

 

Does Anybody know how the background of the App Icons is called in the gnome-shell.css file? I've been searching for hours, trying everything, that could possibly make sense, but i just can't find it.
