Nice to know! Thanks!

It’s been a month, i wonder if we have established the trustworthiness of the new maintained or not

Ah fuck!

Edit: After reading more info on the situation it seems like there was no malice, but this has been handled in an outright lousy way, this software has important privileges on the phone and was handled spectacularly bad for an app aimed at people who care about privacy.

However, there was a silver lining here for some of us which was pointed there: The upgrade to version 2 was a potentially breaking one, so they published it in a way that would not upgrade automatically, so lots of people including me still have version 1.30.0.4, and are unable to automatically upgrade, need to do multiple manual steps to get to version 2. I think I’ll wait a bit before upgrading to see how they handle things, OR if there’s a fork by a person with a modicum of common sense.

And self-hosted, that part is important

I’m also on Mint and X11, and intended to stay there for the moment specially since reading the latest David Revoy fully Linux FOSS guide for artists, which showed that many things are still behind in development, this may have changed since then but at least back then i decided to let it cook more before trying it out. I hope development has advanced enough that you can switch to it full time already but honestly i have no idea if it’s there yet.

The damage is permanently done, people have gone to alternatives and won’t come back

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to eventually find a FOSS/open replacement for the Jawg thing?

Since you mentioned it days ago I’ve been thinking it, would i be OK with those if the sound was normalized? Been actually checking it, normalizing audio on clips and seeing if i am now OK with those. And the answer continues to be a no. Why? Because IT’S AN AD. It’s an ad for the enshittified, cancerous social media platform it came from. Put creator watermarks in the video itself like so many already do, then chop off those COMPLETELY unnecessary ads for tikitocs or Zuckergram, and we’ll be better off and missing nothing.

I can think of one: it’s FUCKING annoying, I’d be quite fine with the creator watermark in the video itself (and many do so), but that extra tacked-on logo clip, usually at 2-3 times the volume of the clip itself, is EXTREMELY annoying, i understand what you say but this is also a legitimate reason

I will defend the Free Software movement, but Stallman? Nah

I hate that this happens, because he’s a goddamned prophet when it comes to software freedom, the harms of proprietary dev models and related stuff, he’s also in mastodon and regularly posts about international news i see no one else mention, but damn there’s just no coming back from all this shit, how the hell would you share stuff he has said with all this gross stuff staining him? Goddammit, Stallman, you were supposed to be at least an OK person!

Okay, i chuckled at this one

Well, you’re on Lemmy, one of a gazillion examples of this working

Maybe it would be worth it to check if this is a known reported bug and follow it

Great! Must have missed the announcement as usual but no matter, looking forward to it!

Except there’s recent examples, and it’s in the docs (On the “ideologically motivated changes” point at the end), this is established

I have no desire to interact with the hallucinating plagiarism machines if i can help it, that’s why i asked PEOPLE, who have actually used the software i ask about

Good old Scunthorpe problem

Guessing from other comments, looks like annoying and unusually common issues using Matrix

Even from the “all your eggs in one basket” kind of perspective it does feel worrisome, not to mention that i am unsure about this dilution of their focus on many apps being helpful, I’d rather have them focus on very few but rock solid and maintained services instead of going with the Google “we do everything” way to do things

That doesn’t seem to be FOSS, i see no code, at a glance it looks like another closed, VC-backed commercial platform unless i missed something
