what does it matter if there's desync? this website gets 2 posts a month

>>fg-8XN4PYVL I post like every day.

Now the hidden service seems to be down entirely.

>>fg-LR9B7FX0 Aaand it's back (for now). Thanks, admin.

>>fg-OWYW194N I'd rather have biased moderation than prison time personally. I'm also mostly fine with removing transphobic, homophobic, racist bs even if its an imageboard. IMHO divide imageboards in topic centric boards and freezed peaches boards where all the slop can go at

>>fg-UG5R38JM I'm okay with removing aggressive bigotry and promotion of violence. But not people just exploring ideas of, say, different races or sexes having different skillsets, or the morality of different sexual orientations.

>>fg-9AMBJB91 People/Companies should be allowed to censor whatever they want on their websites. I have some personal preferences about what should and shouldn't be censored (generally I like forums with very few rules, where they only filter spam, blatant advertising, and things that are illegal in the USA), but I can see the worth communities with more heavy regulation even if they're not for me. Some people like safe spaces or echo chambers, and they should be allowed to go to them when they want. Different platforms for different communities. People who want free speech can find a platform. It's just that the platform isn't popular. The reason why the platform's not popular is because it's a free speech platform, most people don't want to see racist/sexist tirades, gore, extreme pornography, or pedophilia advocacy, and will click off of any website that hosts them.

>>fbint-PKCOQYNR (OP) I would say that there's no correct way to speak a language so long as everybody is understood. >>fbint-ZEO7CO4J Same. I find that difficult as well.

after whitey is extinct and world technology falls back into the bronze age English will fracture into a bunch of different languages, kinda like Latin becoming the romance languages.

>>fbint-X7YMKYCL > I would say that there's no correct way to speak a language so long as everybody is understood. I generally agree but there is one (not very important) point of contiention: let's say there are two Russians who think they are speaking japanese, and can understand one another when they talk, but a native japanese speaker couldn't understand them. If that's the case, then they are speaking japanese incorrectly, even if they both understand each other, and the native speaker isn't part of the conversation. They are speaking some sort of japanese pidgin, rather than the language proper. Secondly I think you misunderstood my point. I don't care about "correctly" speaking English. If I want to communicate with someone, It dosen't trigger me if people make grammatically incorrect expressions as long as I can understand them (Eg saying "I'm doing good" rather than "I'm doing well"). The degradation I'm talking about is twofold, The first problem is that the language becomes harder to learn. A language that has very little foreign influence is much more regular than a language with lots, and as a result, it is usually easier to learn. English orthography is a nightmare because we have adopted a shit load of foreign words. We have multiple morphological derivations and inflections that are specific to certain kinds of nouns (compare inflections: cactus -> cacti. duck -> ducks, octopus -> octopuses, ox -> oxen, goose -> geese, moose -> meese, mouse -> mice, etcetera. For morphological derivations: gummy, quarrelsome, fugacious, catlike, ecclesiastical, dionysian, homeric, and more). A lot of that is due to us taking foreign words, and keeping their derivation rules. The second problem is that the language usually degrades in beauty. It is much harder for an ESL person to make idiomatic/poetic expressions, so they become less common in the language. To play devils advocate, you could argue that the language becomes more analytical because inflections are hard for second language speakers to learn (but I could be wrong about that, it happened with English and Mediterranean Lingua Franca, but I haven't looked at enough lingua francas to know if it does that all the time). This actually makes the language easier to learn and it makes it better for poetry, but I think the language harder to learn, and less beautiful in general. >>fbint-R4BDLQUQ It will probably fracture into a bunch of different languages even if civilization doesn't collapse.

shit

>>fb-OOGV6O1S I gives up...

>>fb-Z0KUEPR1 What's probably happening is that the camera is using exif values to change the rotation rather than actually changing the image, and the imageboard is stripping exif values of every image.

>>fg-ER55Q4LE (OP) GNU mediagoblin is a federated platform lets you share videos and doesn't require javascript. It kind of sucks, but you can sort of browse peertube without javascript if you use RSS feeds, yt-dlp, and mpv to browse youtube without JS. For a peertube website, you can find an RSS feed of the videos by looking at https://WEBSITE/feeds/videos.xml (replace WEBSITE with the peertube instance). You can also subscribe to people with RSS, but IDK how to find the RSS feed link to subscribe without running java script. > isn't it reasonable to expect a desktop web browser to work under the documented conditions when it does for Invidious? IDK what you mean by this

>>fg-0GNB41V1 You can also browse peertube with no js if you use ytfzf. Specifically you can do

ytfzf -c P 

The only problem is that ytfzf isn't actively maintained.

>>fg-0GNB41V1 > GNU mediagoblin is a federated platform lets you share videos and doesn't require javascript. Interesting, but I was looking for something more general content-wise. > It kind of sucks, but you can sort of browse peertube without javascript if you use RSS feeds, yt-dlp, and mpv to browse youtube without JS. Yep, it kind of does. > IDK what you mean by this Using Tor, and using a browser with Javascript disabled. Both are problematic for many web sites (even moreso in combination), but happily Invidious is one exception (some Cloudflare instances aside). >>fg-RN1R7F42 > The only problem is that ytfzf isn't actively maintained. That's not great either.

https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/4734#issuecomment-2365205990 [Bug] "This helps protect our community." #4734 >unixfox commented Sep 21, 2024 • edited > Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality. > Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore. > This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

>>fg-JO1QF219 I will probably still use it to search for videos and then watch the videos with yt-dlp + mpv.

I wish to escape this but I can neither afford college nor training so I'm just stuck cleaning floors until I die of starvation or exposure to the elements LOL

Web clients would be a good fit actually

>>fg-HQ4JUWYE (OP) Also, hardly any server or MUC supports it Anyone know any that do?

what's the point of using xmpp if there's no one to talk to

>>fg-N6DDYLI4 Wdym? I have plenty of people to talk to. Idk about you. Maybe someone should make an FChannel MUC. Then you'd have people to talk to.

>>fg-O0I01SVS Oh wait, there already is one. I forgot. I can't remember the address and I don't think it's active though.

>>fb-DBJPBO0R In the past yes but now I don't see the point in trying and I have bigger issues than loneliness

NSFW Content

>>fb-M0TF79QZ (OP) on the vague topic of this thread, I used to have friends on the fedi but I've since abandoned my identity there because of embarrassment. And recently, I've had several people text me asking if I'm alive or not, I don't know if I should respond because it would be awkward that I've ignored them this long, but I'm also very lonely and these people digital people are the best friends I've had in a long time. I feel bad letting them think I've died but I don't know how I would recconect with them without looking like a total asshole. I wish things were like they were a few years ago, what should I do?

>>fb-UO8QQGRJ I would personally respond to them and explain the situation. If they understand then you'll still be friends with them, whereas they don't you'll probably feel bad for a couple of days and then get over it. There's basically no risk. > I feel bad letting them think I've died but I don't know how I would recconect with them without looking like a total asshole. If they are asking if you're still alive, then they probably care about you and would be happy if you responded. It's a way bigger asshole move to act like you are dead when you actually aren't.

>>fb-KDIXYGII at this point I think it's better to just be dead to them to save them the disappointment and to save myself the stress of having to apologize

>>fb-UO8QQGRJ >>fb-UHF8I2YA I don't know you or them, but I doubt you even need to "apologize". Just say life got busy and that you had to take a break for awhile and that you didn't mean to make anyone worry. >save myself the stress of having to apologize Sounds like avoiding them is causing more stress since it's been a couple of months between posts. Just get it over with. Again, just tell them that you were busy with life and need to take a break from the internet. If they try to pry, just say that you're not comfortable talking about your private life, but that you're fine. Don't stress yourself out about "apologizing", just say that you didn't mean to make them worry. If they're not angry, tell them that you're glad that they were thinking about you and that won't disappear again without saying anything. If you want to delete yourself again, just post a message ahead of time saying that you're deleting your account soon. People do it all the time on the fediverse.

>>fb-R2NXXRLL (OP) also, his channel has nothing to do with science and more to do with intellectual masturbation (postmodernist philosophy) and maths. and not even interesting maths. just metaphors that I've already heard of before IIRC

This is it if anyone was wondering: https://farside.link/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp0q5qKoVrhOestwFk0TbJw

>>fb-K6P91GS1 Yeah sure but the second part of the video where he follows the guy that hits him? What in the goddamn LMAO

>>fb-K6P91GS1 >call the ambulance for a minor bruise >get charged 9000 dollars to have a guy say "yea that's a boo boo" LOL

>>fb-13AY0KC6 If you don't need an ambulance, you shouldn't call one. It seemed like the guy in the video's eye was bleeding, which I feel like is a serious injury. But we never got a good look at it so IDK how serious it is.

NSFW Content

>>fb-INIJ8OE7 From the thumbnail of his next videos, It looks like he wasn't seriously hurt, so I wouldn't have called the ambulance.

>>fb-MKXFAQR2 He said he needed 16 stitches, so he might have gone to the ER.

>>fb-WQOID4GQ (OP) tbf this sci-fi story idea is not that far from reality. Just replace computer viruses/worms with botnets financed by Russia/China that use generative AI to generate hate speech and incite violence and civil unrest. The saddest part is that most people are falling for it. This entire culture war bullshit is meant to divide and destabilize us and we're retarded enough to fall for it

i want to believe op is upset and not shitposting <webp

>>fb-AHZGDKRC web penis

>>fg-8KMYQX7M Based lolisho anon. I'm pretty sure Usagi doesn't do marketing. I found it through aggressively trying to find a Fchannel instance that was up and this is the only one I could find. It would be cool having a dedicated Lolisho instance.

>>fg-TFQXS42B (OP) Most probably don't even know the board is here! For a long time, the main FChannel servers/fchan xyz were down and it looked like the project was in limbo. It will take time but I'm glad usagi is here.

>>fg-KS7W0HA1 Usagi's so pog. I want to host a personal instance behinf Internet 2 Penis and maybe make a tootoral on how to make it :) Or a docker image? (IDK we'd have to have an official project maybe) People hosting their own instance seems like peak 4chins

>>fg-9FQG8CMP The idea of selfhosting and small instances is nice, but the reality of retards and glowies not so much. At one point there were almost a dozen fchan instances, but a persistant csam spam wave cause most to go down. I know for a fact that multiple admins said that was the reason they gave up. Unfortunately, the fediverse has a similar problem. If you throw Pleroma on a cheap VPS and leave registrations open, people will find it and abuse it in ways that will cause legal trouble for you. (Shoutout to Usagi for being quick to delete spam)

>>fg-9L04MDMF Self hosting without I2P seems like a huge risk I'm not willing to take. If I wanted to make a public instnace i'd put it on a VPS with a public mail address so that authorities can be contacted there. Also collaborate with authorities when that shit happens

>>fg-3HFBUF95 (OP) what like a nerdier version on an "app" that every other social media platform has? Cool but I don't use image boards (or any other social media) often enough to warrant downloading new software I just browse image boards while I take my morning shit or I'm trying to avoid eye contact.

>>fg-3HFBUF95 (OP) There was a guy working on an imageboard that worked with Usenet's protocols. I have no idea what it was called but that's the closest thing I could think of that's similar.

>>fg-VND3FQUG NNTPChan?

>>fg-9D2VA1Q5 yeah i think so. Idk what happened to that project, it was neat though. NNTP is kind of better thought out than ActivityPub but it requires more human intervention to get everything in order.
