Hi, i’m into programming, sexual transmutation and psychedelics!
This app is amazing! I loved the infinity design, that’s so fucking amazing you took the time to bring it on Lemmy, i never really liked Jeroba!
The RSS feature is amazing, i wanted to do something like that with RSS Bridge, but it looks like both Instagram and Facebook are doing their best to block exactly these kind of things, so it works half of the times and it needs to be fixed quite often, i think now it doesn’t work very well either… Also it is very complicated to be set up if you don’t know a bit of PHP. Of course i’m willing to learn but all this blocking that projects like this (see Barinsta or Bibliogram) get is really discouraging. I think Meta content is probably one of the worst to scrape.
Regarding Proxygram: for now it works, i’m using a public istance to grab some RSS feeds, if it proves to be reliable i will be happy to host my own istance as well, if possible :) It’s sometimes slow to grab data (i guess because sessions get easily blocked/limited, getting error 500) but not really a problem as i just want to see new events every couple of days, one issue tho is that the RSS doesn’t show all the posts (only showing the last three of them), which can be annoying as you may lose something if you don’t see it and save it.
EDIT: It actually does get other posts as well, just reaaally slowly, meaning that if you follow really large accounts in a week or so you can find your feed full of older posts marked as unread.
Anyway thanks to whoever is making the hard job of building/owning an instagram scraper, I really know it can be tough.
Exactly lmao
I love Lemmy because you can see that people actually understand that foss platforms don’t keep themselves up magically but there’s actually people involved that work hard for making internet a better place without any economical incentive, but just their ideal.
Not necessarily, of course open source is better, but i really just want something that gives me power over the content i can see, this is usually what happens in open source, that’s why i posted here, but im open to closedsource solutions. I didn’t know of the existence of modded stuff like this. How can they mod a closed source app? Are they partner with instagram? How does it work? Do they just scrape content like anyone else? How are they not getting banned like other scraper apps?
Debian with GNOME
Most definetely, i would strongly suggest the Supernote, if you want there are also android options like Onyx, but those are more similar to full tablets than just to a study tablet / productivity device
Check out e-ink tablet like the Supernote A5! They are marvelous and study/work only focused!
Okay then, i think i’m buying a new guitar
This is actually something i wanna get more informed on, for example i see that e/os is still supporting the first google pixel (from 2016), it’s already 7 years of updates. However i think that applies just to the OS update, not the security patches, am i right?
This is very interesting, makes me wanna share my experience too, in my case between 2 different custom ROMs, but with the same phone:
Lineage OS for microG but without device registration, cloud messaging and safety net disabled
/e/OS which is essentially lineage os for microg + tracker blocker but with all the device registration, cloud messaging and safety net enabled
Both are rooted with magisk.
e OS would consume MUCH more battery compared to my previous installation of Lineage, so i was wondering if those microG settings can actually change this much, or if pheraps it is the tracker blocker or something else… Another difference is that e/os has a more recent Android version than the version of LOS for microg i was using.
Was your Calyx install clean or it had Gapps or microg or something similar?
Just send them the new report on Nissan of the Mozilla foundation 😂
The vpn thing worked!
Thank you!!
The problem really isn’t the internet, the problem is how big techs, which have the necessary resources to build complex infrastructures, are dealing with it trying to costantlyincreaseing their profit, and that is son of our broken economical system.
I’m a strong believer that for changing the internet we’ll first need to think about a new and different economic system, where there aren’t central institutions printing money for nothing, and that, as always happened in history, has to start again by switching back to a deflatory system.
Now if i think about a deflatory economic system on which software can be built on i cannot think something else of Bitcoin, if lightning network is the layer granting micropayments on it, software built on lightning network can be what makes us detatch from this shitty web based on ads and unrestricted profilation.
It’s still on its infancy but honestly i don’t think a decentralized network more trusted than bitcoin exists worldwide. Installing a full node/lightning node with every internet modem ineveruy home would make the infrastructure for a completely different internet.
I’ve been seeing some projects built on lightning network like the impervious browser, it kinda vanished, much more work is still needed.
In my opinion that’s what we would need to work for, we can’t exclude the economic model from the internet because that’s just how our society works and always worked, collaboration is needed to build something better togheter, and that most of the times requires and is facilitated by some form of economical incentive. But we need a different type of incentive.
What do you mean tor is not usable on normal internet anymore?
Anybody knows what happened to the impervious browser?
Yeah i have microg but some of the apps don’t work very well either
This sounds like a torture
I wonder why we don’t have AI browser extensions that can recognise and obscure possible ads / unwanted content yet
