Why we’ve fallen out of love with dating apps in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] jherazob@beehaw.org 27 points 6 days ago

Here's a mirror of the old, old OKCupid blogpost against paid dating apps, some dynamic bits didn't get properly archived but the info is still there, giving a very strong argument that paid dating apps are by definition bad to find a partner. Then they got bought and the blogpost was deleted literally the next day.

And this is long, LONG before everything started enshittifying, and dating apps went all in on this. By now the odds are very much against you if you wanna find someone on those apps.

Feels extremely weird to be on the same side as whatsapp on a privacy issue...

The problem as usual is that you're tied by the other people in the place, i cannot leave whatsapp as not only my family but pretty much everybody i know uses it as their main communications platform, no one actually gives a shit about the software or platform but all remain because they cannot leave behind other people.

Same issue with FB/IG, people stay because their whole social contacts stay. If something happened that made everybody leave at the same time there would be no issues, OR if the walls of the walled gardens were torn down so that people could freely leave without losing contact.

About the only realistic way to abandon these platforms is to leave and just accept losing contact with people, which is a gamble that doesn't always pay, most of the time you just end up isolating yourself from others.

Any ffmpeg recipe to clip off those TikTok/Instagram logo/noise from the end of videos? (beehaw.org)
 

You have seen them, video clips grabbed off Instagram or TikTok have this EXTREMELY annoying logo and sound at the end (specially Instagram lately, doubly so with headphones). I'd like to just throw a script/command/Bash alias at any of these and have a resulting video without them, and ffmpeg IS the Swiss army knife of video processing, but it's syntax is NOT what you'd call simple. Does anyone have a recipe for this already?

Current 2024 command to automatically transcribe subtitles for a video? (beehaw.org)
 

I am very out of the loop with related recent tech, but once in a while i wish i had subtitles for internet clips, and i understand there's good tech out there for this these days. Is there something i can download in a typical headless Debian machine that i can then point at some MP4 clip to get subtitles? Even if imperfect it's better than trying to type that from scratch

Worry about the remaining episodes at this point (beehaw.org)
 

After episode 12, we're on chapter 34 of the manga out of 97, on a series with a promised 24 episodes, by Trigger which has never done multiple seasons of any show, and which has adapted the story EXTREMELY close to the source without rushing anything.

Am i the only one worried about how the hell are they gonna adapt the remaining chapters in the remaining 12 episodes?

Unless Trigger breaks their streak and they actually have a second season of one of their shows for the first time in their history (I'm ABSOLUTELY IN if they do), i just don't see how they're gonna do it, they have NOT rushed any part of the story yet, and i don't see much if anything of the manga that could be safely cut without structurally compromising the story.

Do we know if they have promised an S2 or something? What do we know?

Current situation on FOSS Discord replacements? (beehaw.org)
 

A couple weeks ago Discord announced their plans to go down the IPO route. This means that there is now a ticking clock until the platform goes full-on enshittified like so many others before them.

Last time i checked last year there weren't many options to migrate to, mostly Matrix communities (which are not quite the same thing) and Revolt Chat (which is a non-federated but FOSS and self-hostable drop-in replacement for Discord). Revolt sounds like the logical route as it's clearly designed for just this exact role, but it seems it's still early in development and not yet ready for the average Discord user (looks like the voice functions in particular are still in development)

Has this changed or improved since then? I feel like the use case of "IRC servers, but modern!" should have been solved years ago but feels like it hasn't, i have lots of non-technical people who heavily use Discord who I'd love to rescue from it before it starts actively burning, a replacement that isn't complicated and has all it's features would be welcome.

100s of Pirate Sites Go Dark as .TV Domains Placed on ServerHold * TorrentFreak (torrentfreak.com)
 

The AnimeBytes outage from yesterday was because of this, DNS registrar seems to have gone down with all it's .tv domains, and this has taken down lots of sites

AnimeBytes is down, domain seems to have been seized (beehaw.org)

Initial reaction from one of the main admins was that if in 12 hours there had been no news they'd nuke the servers, seems like they're not gonna do it anymore. Many domains registered by one admin were seized at the same time, so might not even be aimed at the tracker. Waiting for more news.

Update: Looks like the DNS registrar itself was the one that went down and took lots of sites with it, TorrentFreak article: 100s of Pirate Sites Go Dark as .TV Domains Placed on ServerHold - TorrentFreak

Duolingo is very much on the Enshittification path, seems like they fired a number of translators and have the rest just proofreading AI.

Authy Desktop client will be discontinued from August 2024 (beehaw.org)
 

Twillio just announced they're discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn't fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client.

If you use Authy and depend on the Desktop client you will have to consider migrating to something else.
