  • Also not entirely sure what I would use it for since I’ve mostly seen it with rips of Blu-ray movies and shows, never smaller files. I thought its main advantage was holding multiple video, audio, and data streams.

    WebM shows that Matroska is excellent for streaming. It’s the same container, WebM just mandates a set of codecs (just as MP4 as an offshoot of MOV can theoretically hold non-MPEG codecs but nobody supports this in the real world). With formal Matroska support, something like combining a HEVC video track with an Opus audio would be possible.



  • Unfortunately, it hasn’t updated in nearly 3 years, which doesn’t bode well for future Android release compatibility.

    Commits to the Github repository keep going but the developer doesn’t seem to realize the importance of more regular but smaller in scope releases which attracts users and more users mean more contributors.







  • At least copyright is dying because of AI and few people seem to care. You can ask any of the big AI bots to recite Harry Potter. You need to be a bit creative with the questions but entire copyrighted works are in the database. You can bet your ass Windows is being developed these days using Linux code. Not because the developers are copying and pasting the code but because Copilot has been trained on Linux code and absolutely nobody is seeking GPL enforcement.










  • I don’t think the ideas of Lambalicious work with Lemmy. What would sending the domain name only achieve? I assume it uses the same logic as Lemmy uses to find crossposts? Obviously it needs the whole address then.

    Maybe instead of crawling automatically, the users need to click a button to look up discussions? (I have yet to install your extension, so I have yet to experience the workflow myself, sorry.)

    Maybe link to the privacy terms of the default instances? In general, I think your approach is good. You don’t collect any data, the feature is 100% opt-in. A central relay/proxy is even worse than your current approach. People are obviously free to set up their own Lemmy/Mastodon server if they want a relay.
