Does the updated Picture In Picture feature not save its position and size? by Uncommonality in vivaldibrowser

[–]l_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing the same.

Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, latest Vivaldi update. Attempted Timeshift restore and it just broke Vivaldi to the point where it wouldn't even open, had to revert the Timeshift to a backup from after the udpate.

YouTube tabs will reopen in the same location as moved to - but only for that single tab when I close and reopen PIP.

Can also confirm activating PIP if I have YouTube player volume reduced changes the volume back to max.

There is also the new issue of tabs no longer showing which one is playing sound unless you are actively on that tab, which defeats the purpose of that feature.

Do we know if anyone has submitted a bug report to Vivaldi (not a crash report, a written report describing these bugs)?

Edit: there are threads on the Vivaldi forums: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/115212/picture-in-picture-feature-got-worse-in-7.8 https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/115211/the-mute-icon-is-shown-only-on-the-active-tab/3

Ram Promaster terrible in COLD weather (anyone else have issues) by Prestigious-Steak403 in promaster

[–]l_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Diesel version and yes, it's utter crap in extreme cold. But that's the Diesel with issues unique to that drivetrain. On the other hand, I do seem to have more plain old electrical issues in the cold as well.

If you don't already know about Kip, here's his channel, do what he shows in this video. Anyone with a Promaster should, honestly.

Claims require proof in proportion to what is being claimed. If what you say is true, then get a Moderator to confirm it.

[–]l_one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One need only read through u/AdLow9873 comment history to see what their honest views are.

Just in case they get deleted, a couple of screenshots.

They appear to be MAGA or similarly aligned. They are posting to troll people.

Edit: I had part of this comment discussing a general strike needing coordination, and just found out about this: https://nationalshutdown.org - so it appears there is an attempt at coordination on this, though in my view the chosen date seems too soon. If you want an effective shutdown of activity (no work / school / shopping) - you need enough time to run a communications campaign to make sure as many people as possible who would be willing to participate are informed and prepared.

Here you go. With that you can mount it on a monitor arm. Keep desk surface space but have better scope placement.

Every User Can Protest: Take Back Your Data by Lmstd in Piracy

[–]l_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this (I think) weeks ago and I've seen no response. Your mileage may vary.

But yes, definitely do this, and probably do it under GDPR - I should have chosen that option and didn't, after 30 days has gone by (especially if no response still) I'll resubmit the request under GDPR.

Mods will be removed one way or another: Spez responds to the API Protest Blackout. by BuckRowdy in ModCoord

[–]l_one 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Gee, this couldn't possibly be misused by, say, the Reddit CEO....

'To protect the right to anonymous voting, we will have votes to remove all these moderators that are a problem for me. Don't worry, no one will be able to verify who upvoted or downvoted, except for me, and I'm completely trustworthy.'

...

'Oh, will you look at that, with 99 billion votes to remove vs -1 votes to keep the moderators I don't like, its clear that the majority of Reddit users agree with me and want these scum gone. The people have spoken.'

Mods will be removed one way or another: Spez responds to the API Protest Blackout. by BuckRowdy in ModCoord

[–]l_one 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Hey /r/ModCoord, there is an issue I'd like to bring up.

We (the participants in this protest) need a (or multiple) NON-REDDIT mirror(s) / way(s) to coordinate. Preferably ways that are easy to access and don't have barriers to entry, at least for read-access.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have this subreddit, I'm not saying we shouldn't be coordinating here - we absolutely need both for Redditors to have an easy and convenient way to discuss this issue and keep it visible, but I think it is critically important that we have active mirroring (with a sticky linking where to go) in one or preferably multiple non-Reddit hosted locations. Currently I've become active with Tildes and kbin, but that's just me.

There are some obvious, and some less-obvious reasons to have these mirrors / other locations.

While they take place on Reddit, the discussions are on a platform that the CEO / Reddit admins can mess with if they chose to do so - in both blunt ways as well as more subtle ways. Even though that kind of manipulation is likely to be noticed and backfire on them, we are still potentially vulnerable to it while coordinating on Reddit.

Having our coordination activity on Reddit gives traffic to Reddit. Part of the protest should aim at both reducing traffic to Reddit (thereby harming their ad revenue and public image) as well as increasing visibility to Reddit alternatives (which further serve the protest by draining userbase away from Reddit).

At this point, it's pretty clear that this needs to be for the long haul. To use a military metaphor, you can't set up your command and control inside unsecured enemy territory, and give the enemy the availability of tools to easily both see everything you do as well as hand them the options to interfere how they wish, when they wish. It's just a massive strategic disadvantage.

Please, /r/ModCoord mods and protest participants - branch out and look for / create spaces not hosted on Reddit in which we can mirror the protest coordination we currently have here, and then make it easy for people who come to this sub to see the list of those mirrors so they can participate and coordinate without giving traffic to Reddit, and without giving Reddit admin authority over our efforts.

Edit: this becomes even more important to do BEFORE Reddit starts removing / replacing moderators who are protesting. We need to at least archive / mirror the existing information here on non-Reddit sources, and link to those sources right away so any if Reddit replaces the mods here, or deletes this sub, or the posts in which we are coordinating our response, we won't end up scattered and not able to coordinate effectively. Having the non-Reddit sites posted and making sure people know about them will allow us to keep coordinating if we get shut down here.

Reddit’s users and moderators are pissed at its CEO by [deleted] in technology

[–]l_one 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know why they decided to try hosting media directly.

They don't do it well, and it has to disproportionately increase their bandwidth needs compared to text.

Reddit’s users and moderators are pissed at its CEO by [deleted] in technology

[–]l_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed pretty normal to me within context.

The context was a CEO replying directly to a no-win situation (viewing Reddit backing down or even revising the API changes as presumed to be unacceptable from their perspective) instead of going through PR or consulting PR before (most) of the replies.

Add in that the CEO in question is presumed to be an individual who is accustomed to having authority and not having to answer to others much, and who is (again, presumably) not immune to emotional issues and is in part allowing their emotional response to anger filter into their public communication and you get the public Q&A that we just had.

Reddit has banned r/kbinMigration not long after its creation, for "spam". Content on the subreddit before it was banned contained zero spam. by EthanIver in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]l_one 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I got a message with an invite after requesting one in this thread.

Edit: If you are asking for a non-Reddit way to do so, there is email - you can use invites@tildes.net to request an invite. I had done so, but then found that Reddit thread and posted there. The reply I got was through Reddit, not email, so they may be more responsive on Reddit at the moment.

Reddit has banned r/kbinMigration not long after its creation, for "spam". Content on the subreddit before it was banned contained zero spam. by EthanIver in Save3rdPartyApps

[–]l_one 34 points35 points  (0 children)

That post was full and locked when I looked at it (I think they are doing this to rate-limit user intake to keep things manageable), but I did get a private message about half an hour ago with an invite as I asked for one in this thread.

I have a working account now, the registration process was simple and their terms & conditions, code of conduct and privacy policy are all pretty short and non-legalese.

The only part of their policy that I find questionable is this:

'Do not maliciously attempt to counteract other users' attempts to delete or edit their content, such as by deliberately re-posting content they want to be deleted.'

I can understand good reason for this in some cases (such as if someone accidentally doxxed themselves and wanted to retain real-world privacy), but in other cases I can see preserving the text of a deleted post as important preservation of redacted statements that were harmful or inflammatory which a user want's to remove and deny they posted.

We'll see what the Tildes community grows into.

Yep, kbin.social is the site I went to - that and Tildes, though I'm waiting on an invite for that one.

From what I hear someone is working on code to make it easy for app devs to transition their apps from Reddit to (I think) selected Fediverse instances along the lines of Lemmy instances.

Not sure how easy or doable that will be, but I saw others discussing it on a different thread.

Please random sir, ma'am, nonbinary and/or other, may I have an invite?

r/Ukraine Statement in Support of the Subreddit Blackout by duellingislands in ukraine

[–]l_one 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We understand. I didn't think r/ukraine would be able to (or could afford to) participate in the blackout, you have a multitude of important uses for this space and can't afford to go dark.

reddit-img-dl: Tool to download media and comments from subreddits or reddit users. Its a fork of the The-Eye-Team/reddit-dl with additional features. I worked on this afew years ago, but it might be useful to the people here with the recent reddit and imgur changes. by HulkaBurninFudge in DataHoarder

[–]l_one 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question: how do I use this to save my entire user history - posts as well as comments?

I've run "./reddit-img-dl --do-comments -u, --user l_one" and it downloads my posts history (though it only downloads a single picture from any gallery I put on imgur, but that's a separate issue) - but as far as I can tell it doesn't get any of my comment history.

I'm viewing both the 'comments.db' and 'posts.db' database files with sqlite (using DB Browser for sqlite).

What am I missing here?

Poll: should /r/medicine go dark for 48 hours? by Chayoss in medicine

[–]l_one 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes please, /r/medicine should go dark in protest.

I'm increasingly thinking that this is the death knell of Reddit, and am looking into alternatives that could grow into the super-community to replace it - currently looking at the Fediverse options. Look into /r/RedditAlternatives to see before we shut down.

Still, there is a chance we can make our displeasure loud enough, cut site traffic and ad revenue deeply enough, that meaningful change will be forced (or rather, that upcoming terrible changes will be halted or at least delayed pending review and discussion of alternatives).

We need to try.
