Thank you for being the only one mentioning swipe, you’ve convinced me to give it a go.

Edit: It doesn’t even ask for internet permission. Delightful.

Thr wheag fron the chadd?

I think some sort of sync capabilities is almost a must have now a days. My impression is that only power users use RSS and they usually have several devices, at least a computer and a phone.

Who doesn’t have a dedicated toilet tablet for browsing RSS and registering poop quality, both very dependent on sync capabilities?

I run NC News. It’s in no way comparable to FreshRSS and have like only the official companion app for mobile use beyond the web interface.

The main benefit is that it’s not another platform to run on one’s server. On my big server I’ve integrated two FreshRSS’s (one for text, one for video) into Nextcloud through iFrames, on my home hosted Raspberry I just wanted something simple that didn’t require reverse proxies and other advanced setup. Thus NC News.

There used to be a couple but they didn’t seen to be too well maintained the last time I checked. But to be fair, it’s a niche implementation of what at this point is a niche internet tech.

Amateurs, I’m an AI artisté and demand big bucks for “my” art pieces. Also fuck everybody who made all the stuff that the AI stole from.

You sound like a frustrated maintainer, have you considered doing what I do with open source projects using discord as their means of communication?

Don’t take it seriously and move on.

Of course. Open source clients on open source operating systems connecting to self-hosted servers on private infrastructure with open source software.

As soon as open source hardware is practically available I’m never using proprietary processors ever again, I don’t care if they’re “underpowered” by computational power - All backdoored CPU’s are underpowered by my standards to verified non-backdoored CPU’s.

Maybe not everything

Laughs in hardcore open source

Open source search engine SearcxNG works very well with Lemmy posts and comments.

as relatively easily and cheaply

You pay more when using these types of software than if you hired an engineer to set up a complete forum ecosystem. Just not with money.

In the world of today the crustyness of dolan and spooderman is more relevant than ever!

Par Avion. I’ll do homing pigeons before using discord.

Not buying anything: $0.

Both our options are equally far away from an open source music player.

I use RSS feeds to subscribe to YouTube channels without a google account.

Tasks.org and JTX Board are two of the most used, available on F-Droid.

Yeah, and doesn’t support (coming soon apparently) mobile extensions so no feature parity. But what stopped me from using Joplin for tasks was the unreliable alarm.

Joplin is pretty good as a lot of other stuff though.

Auto-saving is the insurance against manually saving failing, which is the insurance against the computer or program failing.

It’s insurances all the way down, yet I’m still let down when versioning overwrites my changes.

Have you heard about MMS before?

Some say “yes, by a lot”. In my experience a 10 seconds fetch rate on apps costs only a few percentages of battery per charge if the fetch is reasonably sane. Checking 75 podcast feeds with thousands of episodes every 10 minutes isn’t sane.

I have tested and got better battery on Lineage/Clean ROMs as compared with stock as well. I put it down to bloat and spyware constantly running in the background with elevated priviledge. 🤷‍♂️
