It requires a bit of technical skills to setup the instance but offers an easy UI to quickly add channels/playlist and automatically archives new videos.
You can put in a file the list of channels/playlists it videos to save and run the script, it downloads everything organized in folders including subtitles and video descriptions.
That's how a healthy society should be. Bigotry is always a minority of society. The media has been inflating its perceived reality to attract more people away from criticizing the current economical system. Fashism 2.0.
Ultimately all these big platforms are gonna cannibalize their userbase at some point. That's the reason I started since 2 years archiving all the YouTube channels/playlists I care about. I already have many videos that were taken down by YT afterwards.
How can I subscribe to the communities over your server ? I am on mobile and can't how to do it. Tried the mobile web ui and jerboa on Android
Edit: just found out after clicking on your profile I could see all the communities. But suppose I wanted to subscribe to the communities over there from my account on an other instance how can I do it ?
You're right I never worked on big projects with a strong- typed language. I did C extensively in my University years and since then it has mostly been dynamic languages.
Haskell was my top priority language to learn but the pragmatic approach and performance of Rust was more appealing. I have a copy of Haskell Programming from First Principles ready on the shelf and I'm thinking Rust will give me a softer introduction to Haskell later.
I also think I am too much impatient since I got used to pickup dynamic languages fast and do something useful with them.
What would be nice is to have a system of tags or keywords that can be defined for a community. It would be trivial then to build a sort of multireddit where multiple communities can be aggregated by the tags they belong to.
The syntax of Rust, whilst not the worst, is not its biggest strength. It is however very expressive and much more readable than other low level languages.
That's usually how I tend to learn new things as well. It's just that progress feels so much slower with Rust at my current level. I could build the same thing with python or go in a fraction of that time and I need to justify to myself the extra time is for learning purposes.
I started working recently on a big TUI project which I would love to do Rust but unfortunately most of the ecosystem is in Python (AI). I am using Textual and it's such a breeze to make a TUI with it nothing comes close in Rust. What I achieved in a few weeks would take me months in rust.
Also it's that I have spent much more time reading than coding in retrospective to the previous languages I learned. I need more discipline just coding.
Yes right now it's mostly a lack of time. With age and the constant flood of information it's difficult to keep focus, especially with Rust. There such a huge amount of documentation it feels overwhelming.
I will add an other perspective that is rarely mentioned: because it pollutes less. The same way you would say why choose a car based on the fuel type it uses.
See if you consider the amount of energy wasted running interpreted languages and other fancy bloated runtimes, and consider what should we do in an ideal world where hamans respect nature and do not make things for the sole purpose of profit, then choosing your tools based on the amount of energy they use to run doesn't seem so far fetched anymore.
Hi, I'm new to Lemmy. I saw the post about LemmyBB on hacker news and it brought me here. On the HN thread you can see the discussion on the slur filter right from the beginning. I consider myself very tolerant and I personally would not have added it by default. I also understand that the authors see things differently.
I want to thank the team who made this project a reality. You've built a serious alternative to a massive echo-chamber propaganda machine. THANK YOU. The slur filter is a non issue and whoever is only focused on that doesn't understand the dire situation we reached with walled gardens being built everywhere on the internet, which is actually becoming more of an intranet ...
For me it has always been a pain to manage bookmarks mostly due to the fact that I switch browser every few years and sometimes use different browsers for different contexts. In the past I also did front web development for which I had to use multiple browser profiles and platforms.
My main bookmark store has always been firefox because it supports tags which I use massively. I also used to use the mobile app with the sync service but the user experience is horrendous. You get a big ugly folder selection interface with no easy way to add keywords, basically hinting you to use their "profit making" Pocket service. On my PC I use mostly Qutebrowser which is based on chromium and has a very basic bookmark system.
Actually this problem was so much annoying that I started working on my own solution in the last 2 years. I wanted a tool that has zero dependencies on any external plugin, can handle any browser, or as a matter of fact, anything that needs to be saved for later, and no need for cloud it can work on a single machine or be self-hosted to sync between multiple machines.
