@299792458ms @KickassWomen Problem with downgrading Firefux is that an older release won’t read a newer releases profile.
@sun_is_ra Great, what OS are you running, what release? I’m on Ubuntu-Mate 24.04, did not have issues with 22.04, but Thorium is working fine on 24.04.
@KickassWomen It is primarily maintained by them but it is an open sourced project and there are other contributors. But whatever, if you find something that doesn’t involve Google and still properly functions and doesn’t do slimy tactics like replace a vendors ads with it’s own, AKA Brave, I’m interested, in the meantime I need something that at least functions which Firefux ceased to do.
@sun_is_ra @KickassWomen You can run Firefox as flatpak, snap, or you can use the Mozilla repository and install as .deb package. However no matter which way you use it, the video is broken on some Youtube videos, Bitchute has no audio, and Netflix won’t play at all, which is why I switched to Thorium.
@KickassWomen Alexander Frick is the lead developer of the Thorium browser. Thorium is a cross-platform, open-source web browser based on Chromium. That’s Chromium as in the open source browser, not Chrome as in the Google browser, and it still has the old API that works with ad-blockers. I am using ublock origin with it and it works great.
I’ve been having issues with Firefox since v128, and I’ve tried snap, flatpak, and straight from the Mozilla repository. I ended up switching to Thorium which works with all the same plugins I was using for Firefox, has the same general layout, AND can import my bookmarks and passwords from Firefox so it was a pretty seamless transition.
Perhaps it’s because people under 30 have no sense of responsibility so don’t really care to communicate much with peers. They don’t have the means to bring systems like this online. They don’t have the historical perspective to take part in intelligent conversation, so they have Twitter and Facebook.
@nate Thanks but no. Pubcrawl is the ActivityPub protocol, I’ve got that and it talks to Friendica fine. What I am looking for is the plugin to talk to ATproto used by Bluesky.
I can understand the desire for it in Alma, since it’s primarily a replacement for Scientific-Linux, and will be on a lot of cloud services, but anytime you add a requirement for something to basically function, you increase the likelihood that it won’t.
No thanks, adding unnecessary complexity decreases reliability and efficiency. Might make it easier to migrate things to AWS, also a negative.
Temporary files can be created by user programs. On my machines, I made /tmp an in memory file system and also disallow execution or setuid/gid in this directory as much malware tries to abuse it in this manner.
@nate I attempted to locate AP plugin for hubzilla but could not, not in the addons, not mentioned on the hubzilla site, and could not find with gargoyle search. Can anyone tell me where to obtain?
Bluesky, using ATProto, which as near as I can tell is not used by anyone else, is not part of the fediverse as a result. Since both ActivityPub, and ATProto, and for that matter also Zot, are all open sourced protocols, it is my hope someone will build bridge software that incorporates and provides interoperability between both. Hubzilla would seem an ideal place for that to happen since that is already it’s role, to bridge multiple protocols.
@grue @ArchRecord An example of a database that doesn’t keep it’s data in files?
@otter @thenexusofprivacy I personally find the three-pane design a bit “busy”.
@OpenStars I would argue that it hasn’t become that, it was that well before Musks takeover.
@dragontamer @thenexusofprivacy
“short form content with just a few sentences per post sucks”
I agree and that’s why the first site I put up was friendica, but I find on friendica, even though people have the space to express their thoughts in depth and eloquently, few do so, so perhaps Mastodon is so successful because it appeals to people who are incapable of effective self expression. At any rate, it is a reality that it is, so I do run one of those also.

@sun_is_ra Oh definitely related, it was working ok under 22.04 not 24.04, but I suspect it has something to do with decoder ffmpeg, as other applications using it also have issues with H.264 v10 video. However Thorium does not. Perhaps it has it’s own decoder rather than using ffmpeg.
