What’s the point of YouTube premium again? uBlock Origin works on laptops, tablets, and phones. Smart Tube works on TVs.

Is there some live sports thing that it’s bundled with or something?

I switched from Spotify to Navidrome+local radio. When I’m in the car, it’s been 100% radio recently.

I actually like a lot of the music on my local radio stations. Yes, it’s 10 songs on a loop, but they gradually change out the 10 songs. So 6 months from now it’s slightly different 10 songs. I also get to spend more time with each song, which lets me learn the lyrics or notice different parts of the song better.

Yes, there are ads and talking, but it’s not all bad. I like the ads for local businesses, restaurants, or events. The talking gets annoying sometimes, but most of the time it’s fine or, dare I say, even enjoyable. When the ads/talking gets too much, I just change the station. There are like 4-5 stations I cycle through. If they’re all annoying, then I just turn the radio down for a minute.

I also discover new songs from the radio that later I add to Navidrome.

Overall, pretty happy not paying for Spotify and not having to use my phone.

Honestly, yeah. Lots of people in my town would probably be onboard and justify it. “This is a good thing because the radical left is crazy!”

OP, try PieFed! https://piefed.social/auth/register It’s actually pretty good. I’m surprised more people aren’t connecting to the Fediverse via PieFed. I recently jumped from Lemmy and PieFed.

And because this isn’t some corporate hellhole, you don’t get cutoff from Lemmy. Yay ActivityPub!

You do have to ask for permission. https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/

Asking permission involves creating an issue on the Codeberg-e.V./requests repo: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests/issues/new?template=ISSUE_TEMPLATE%2FWoodpecker-CI.yaml

Here’s an example issue asking permission for CI: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./requests/issues/1663

They get back to you fairly quickly. I think the main thing they check for is if your project is FOSS. They don’t seem very strict otherwise.

After you get permission, you can go to https://ci.codeberg.org/login to access CI.

You’ll also need to create a .woodpecker folder in your repo.

Woodpecker docs are here: https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/usage/intro

# .woodpecker/my-first-workflow.yaml  
when:  
  - event: push  
    branch: main  

steps:  
  - name: build  
    image: debian  
    commands:  
      - echo "This is the build step"  
      - echo "binary-data-123" > executable  
  - name: a-test-step  
    image: golang:1.16  
    commands:  
      - echo "Testing ..."  
      - ./executable  

I mean, if Zig and Guix can do it. It’s possible.

I’m in a similar boat. So far:

• I started mirroring GitHub to Codeberg
• I added CI to Codeberg

Next I gotta update the readme on GitHub telling everyone that I’m going to move to Codeberg. I’ll let that sit for a few months.

Also, I gotta update consumers like homebrew to consume from Codeberg instead.

I was gonna close/merge any open PRs on GitHub.

Issues, I’m not totally sure about. I thought I read there was a way to migrate those. Although, I’m kiiinda ok with starting fresh… not totally sure this part needs more thought.

Once the Codeberg repo is ready, I’ll make the GitHub repo read-only, with the readme pointing to Codeberg.

Way, way, way down the line, I’d consider deleting the GitHub repo (and finally my account).

I’m OK with breaking things. I’m gonna try my hardest to not break stuff, but I’m not going to let the fear of breaking stuff prevent me from getting on ShitHub by Macroslop.

takes deep breath

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Just switch to Codeberg already.

1. Exporting and importing passwords is a time-consuming, annoying process
2. There’s no guarantee your exported data will be entirely (or partially) compatible with the destination app

My migration from 1Password to Bitwarden was both of those things.

Vendor lock in doesn’t mean it’s impossible to move. It means there’s a huge burden to move.

Why Forgejo Actions and not Woodpecker CI, isn’t Woodpecker on Codeberg more stable? Yes, absolutely, in fact the documentation for Forgejo Actions on Codeberg is out of date right now

Waah?

Forgejo Actions will just feel way more familiar coming from GitHub Actions. The UI and YAML syntax is almost identical, and the existing actions ecosystem mostly works as-is on Codeberg.

Ah, ok. I don’t care about that.

Setting up woodpecker.

Yeah, not handled well. They’re doing slimy corpo bullshit.

On the other hand, I like that they’re open source and don’t block stuff like vaultwarden.

I hope they can take the extra money and make the product better. Cuz I definitely don’t love Bitwarden, but it’s a better alternative than 1Password.

I thought the Iranians specifically chose Legos because the US bombed a girl’s primary school. Seemed like a fitting way to fight back.

Yes, it should be Nucleus. Them calling it PiedPiper is a propaganda campaign to try to earn good will from people. Fuck Google locking down Android.

One of the huge benefits of using a third party manager is that your data is more portable! If you wanna use Firefox today, cool. But what if you want to use Safari tomorrow? Or Chrome later? Don’t self vendor lock yourself. I see those built-in OS/browser password managers as traps to prevent you from leaving.

I really do not understand the hate :/

The itsfoss interviewer goes into this:

A lot of backlash isn’t about the code change, but about what it represents.

You say this is “just attestation, not verification” but we know that infrastructure always gets repurposed later. This is where the legit fear lies.

Do you think regulations like these will reshape desktop Linux in the next 5-10 years where we might have “compliant Linux” and “Freedom-first Linux”?

Sam Bent’s article also goes into this (although, fuck that clickbait title): https://www.sambent.com/the-engineer-who-tried-to-put-age-verification-into-linux-5/

He read the laws, decided compliance was the correct response, and went to work. Every objection the community raised went nowhere: that this enables surveillance infrastructure, that lying is trivially easy, that the laws themselves are unconstitutional overreach. He’d already accepted the law as legitimate and moved to implementation.

He read the law, took it at face value, and started writing code. The word for what that is sits somewhere past malice, something more insidious: an engineer who treats compliance as engineering, who sees a legal requirement the way he sees a technical specification, and will implement whatever the spec says regardless of who wrote the spec or why.

The reason to name him is the pattern. The surveillance state runs on volunteers: people who do the implementation work for free, out of genuine conviction, with no paper trail connecting them to the money that wrote the laws.

So… should I start stashing my cash under my mattress?

Not surprising, this guy is also onboard with Google locking down Android: https://dylanmtaylor.com/posts/2026-03-19-googles-new-android-sideloading-flow-is-a-fair-trade

Why not let someone else do it then? Why eagerly sign up to be the one to do it?

which by the way was not expected to give perfect answers to questions

Except that’s how a lot of people treat it. And there’s so way to guard against that.

It’s a little more nuanced than that.

I will gladly write my own small, half-assed framework that I 100% know, can reason about, can debug, and can extend to fit my requirements. I will gladly pass on a fat-assed, bloated framework with a million dependencies, where I only need a few features, and where if I need something that isn’t offered by the framework I have to submit a PR or add some janky-ass workaround.
