There is no such thing as “zeroith”. Does not matter which numbers you slap on the tables, the one with the lowest number will always be the first. The word “first” has nothing to do with indices, it’s just an antonym for “last”.

Isn’t it /mæn/ and /mɛn/, /ˈwʊm ən/ and /ˈwɪm ɪn/? Can be a bit hard to differenciate in the first case, but the second pair is very different.

That’s what private communities are for. Calling people names while perfectly aware of it leaking into the public feed is a provocation. And it worked.

The problem is, in my opinion, that they post memes that are clerly provoking non-vegan people for discussion.

It’s weird to jump under a “here are my 15 ways of cooking asparagus” post with anti-vegan content. But “look at these carnovorous clowns” memes are clearly offensive.

As some people poined out, I was talking about VK. A Russian social network that ended up in the claws of Russian government, which in turn ended up in massive political repressions of it’s userbase for posting “wrong” things.

He then made Telegram and used Russian government’s attempts to block it as a PR campaign. I guess that’s what made it so appealing at first, but now French government stepped in and we are going all over again.

The guy has a history of making something that looks good and then selling it to governments. I’m surprised people took the bait for the second time.

That’s some good data! I’m mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!

People who promote crypto are usually scammers (they also usually promote their own currency), but in general it’s a very useful tool. Considering you have to give up an arm and a leg to use SWIFT nowadays, crypto offers a fast and cheap way to pay someone across the border. The price is that you need to know a thing or two about the technology, else you’ll pay the same or even more than with traditional methods.

They are probably just using your IP address to determine the location. That will show the location of your ISP, not your location. That’s not much more info than any other server gets when you are connecting to it. Also does not require Mozilla to send any geolocation data.

You can add mpv to FreeTube as an external player. With yt-dlp, it supports playing YouTube videos directly and in any quality. It also has a plugin for SponsorBlock integration.

I’m using Freetube, too. While it fails to play 2160p reliably, you can always use a button to send the video to an external player like MPV. And MPV works without any issues.

Oh. Maybe you are right. All I saw was “ffprobe missing”, just spat out a fix for that without reading thoroughly.

Using a specialized tool for the task is the way to go, in my opinion. I use OpenStreetMaps when I need to look at the map. If I’m looking for some famous(ish) place, I look it up on Wikipedia and jump to OSM from there.

ffprobe is a part of FFmpeg. Install it properly.

A lot of instances did not upgrade yet because of the awkwardly implemented tagging feature.

A switch to per minute, per megabyte plan made me a lot more concious about spending money on my phone. If I want something to watch/listen to during a trip, I download it beforehand. I almost never use any minutes, only communicating via the mobile data. With autodownloading of pictures disabled in all my chat apps, it runs about 50 MB per month, which charges me less than 50 cents.

Yea, I know. Fucked up my wording a bit while trying to explain why I’m using the app.

Offline capabilities is the killer feature for me. I don’t have much bandwidth on my mobile data plan, being able to access maps without internet connection is incredibly good.

You can just share links to maps, OpenStreetMaps has a bunch of different mobile apps, for example, Organic Maps is a good one. Links to OSM look like this: https://osm.org/go/zrfyVQn8--?node=164979149

Because it’s based on OSM that anyone can commit changes to, it sometimes has areas mapped that Google maps don’t. On my last skiing trip made everyone install it, because Google maps just didn’t have a proper map of the resort we were staying in. Also works offline, very convenient when you only have broadband internet in the hotel.
