  1. #alternative #privacy-friendly #frontends

    嗨,各位关注及其跟踪 @board 的 Fedi 友好!

    俺想在未来出品 X - Twitter Youtube Reddit 等一系列友好的公共替代隐私友好型的前端服务

    目前在隐私友好型的前端服务中让俺非常需要烦恼的就是 Nitter 和 Invidious 了

    Nitter 和 Invidious 分别是 Youtube 的隐私前端,目前 Invidious 和 Nitter 维持是非常困难的

  2. I've published another #browser demo on the #IPFS: a web-based mail user agent prototype (from 2021).

    "We could build something better in a just weekend! And it'd even fit into the memory of a C64!" – That's what I told a friend when they complained about today's slow, bloated #webmail #frontends. And I did, in… let's say an extended weekend:

    A modern, mostly-featured yet minimal webmail prototype weighing in at just ~40 kB gzipped (incl. all #HTML, #JavaScript, #SVG)

    webmail--demo-data0-one.ipns.d

  3. ↪️What do they say about #dxday? ↩️[1/3]

    "Even if in its first edition, dxday has all it takes to become an unmissable appointment for all #frontends who want to become even better day after day"

    ""It was an honor to be a part of such a stellar event, and I'm already looking forward to next year's conference. 🎤🇮🇹"

    So, why would you miss the second edition?😃

  4. CW: Prediction: The next new hotness in the Fediverse; CW: Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta
    I think I've lost track of what the hot stuff in the Fediverse is right now. Was it Sharkey after all?

    But I can tell you what the hotness around the turn of the year and in early 2025 will be: pairing frontend-less GoToSocial with all kinds of Fediverse Web frontends.

    You've read it here first.

  5. CW: Detubifier - Replace Enshittified Services' URLs With Nonenshittified Front Ends.

    First published on kaka.farm.

    I am writing an Emacs package called detubifier.

    It is dedicated to replacing the enshittified URLs of social media services, e.g. youtube or reddit, with their nonenshittified free software front ends, e.g. https://invidious.io/ or https://farside.link/.

    I am not clear on the API and just adding functions, like a wrapper over browse-url, another function which changes URLs in the kill ring or a marked region. Just chucking her in the ute 🛻. There's heaps of space.

    Also, I assume I am reinventing this particular sort of wheel, and it is coming out as a squircle. I shall reuse this joke in the future.

    #crapsaccharine #crapsaccharinedystopia #elisp #emacs #enshittification #farsidelink #frontends #gnu #gnuemacs #iwanttodisappearcompletely #web

  6. Like it or not, #Mastodon successfully did an #EEE of the #Fediverse as far as API is concerned.

    Non-Mastodon software with Mastodon API implemented can be connected to third-party services like brid.gy and fedica.com, to mention a few.

    It is rare to see third-party services implement any support for non-Mastodon software using their respective API. #Fedica recently added #Pixelfed support; and a few other alt #frontends support either #Misskey or #Pleroma.

    So… yeah, there's no doubt the “competition” is over as far as this particular usage is concerned. Mastodon won, got what it wants. Either implement it and allow your users to use other third-party software… or don't and wait for other developers to support your platform.

    Not good, but we have to face the reality sooner rather than later, so we can move forward. Maybe make it part of #ActivityPub 2.0 and finally have a universal fediverse API that all can agree with and use.

  13. > Serve images in next-gen formats
    > Image formats like WebP and AVIF often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption.

    Buddy. I‘m serving JPEG XL. This *is* the next-gen image format. I don’t want your image containers!

  14. Now that a bunch of code in GitHub repos isn't visible without running MicroSoft's proprietary JS, it would be great to have a software freedom-protecting front-end for browsing GH itself. Of course, Free Code projects moving off GH onto community-hosted code forges is the ideal solution, but in the meantime...

  15. Anyone else noticing that YouTube seems to be cracking down on full album uploads and alternative front-ends like Invidious and Piped?

    #YouTube #FrontEnds #Invidious #Piped

  16. I've tried various #Mastodon #frontends and I've found #Trunks to be the best (so far).

    1. Easiest way to check notifications.
    2. Multi-column
    3. Loads fast
    4. Available in Android with the same layout and feature set.
    * Also available in iOS (but I haven't tested this, I don't have an iOS unit).
    5. For me, it sits between barebones and eye-candy UI

    At least those are the ones I can remember quickly, or those that struck me as important.

    Give it a try here: trunks.social (updated link with non-alpha)

  17. Interesting thing I noticed about #polls in different #fediverse software and #frontends.

    Original #poll: c.im/@youronlyone/110128906219

    1st screenshot (#Mastodon): 53 people
    2nd (Mastodon with #Trunks frontend): 83 votes
    3rd (#Calckey): 83 votes

    The poll was multi-select, so there were 53 people who voted with multiple answers which resulted into 83 votes. In Calckey, it is visible how many votes each item got.

    Another thing I noticed, the percentage calculation of the Trunks frontend and vanilla Mastodon are different.

    * CommonMark/Markdown received 41% and 43% respectively.
    * Org-mod received 39% and 40% respectively.
    And so on.

    Initially I thought, maybe, there were people who voted but are not appearing in the poll. But, if the instance (and thus the post/poll) is not visible in another instance, users from there can not vote at all.

    I think it has more to do with the display method and calculation: number of voters vs number of votes.

    Just an interesting thing I noticed. It's not important, or maybe it is for other people who take online polls seriously.

    #frontend

  18. @boilingsteam @hj Haha.

    There are Mastodon forks, and #frontends which provide that feature, or at least something similar, by default. Other #fediverse software have such a feature, most notably #Misskey and #Calckey (there are others, of course).

    It's a very neat feature that mainline Mastodon doesn't have (and probably will never have).

  19. What are the thoughts on posting links to alternative of services like YouTube, Twitter or Instagram, rather than to the respective main site, on the ? (For example, linking piped.video or yewtu.be instead of youtu.be)
    There are a number of possible arguments for (i.e. these services are generally more -respecting) and against (i.e. people should perform such URL substitutions themself, these links are more likely to die or randomly cease functioning) I can see

  20. Can we build mobile, web & desktop #frontends with #Flutter and one codebase?

    Google says Flutter is "the most popular cross-platform UI toolkit" with half a million apps. So…. does Flutter deliver?

    Watch the #InfoQ video by Karsten Silz and find out: bit.ly/3iJZdWw

    #transcript & Q&A included

    #iOS #Android #Mobile

  21. Probando #UntrackMe fedilab.app/wiki/untrackme/ #app #android

    (bastante abochornado de no haber oído hablar de este proyecto en dos años que ya lleva activo)

    UntrackMe transforms #Twitter, #YouTube, #Instagram, #Reddit and #Medium and #Wikipedia links to links of open source, privacy friendly #frontends. Converts Google Maps links to #OpenStreetMap links. Removes #tracking parameters from any #url. Then delegates the action to other apps that are capable of handling them.

  22. You can use Mastodon through an alternative web client if you prefer. One of the most popular is Pinafore, which is lightweight and FOSS.

    The example website is at pinafore.social

    The source code is at github.com/nolanlawson/pinafor

    Because it's free and open source, you can host the web client yourself if you want to.

    Its creator has written an introductory post with more info about it:

  24. @iron_bug @4ioskd @gamliel

    > friendica interface is like old good LiveJournal

    For me "good old" means "without client-side #scripts". I came to my account at #Friendica, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+F <script -- 36 are found. 4 are found here at #Mastodon, 3 at my #Pleroma account.

    Mastodon and Pleroma are not perfect, but they are highly customisable. I see many #frontends for them, al least one is without #JavaScript. I tried to find at #DuckDuckGo an alternate #frontend for Friendica, without success.
