Same here. I click sign in and it says "you signed out of your account"

It wouldn't need to say HighContrastForAccessibilityPurposes though, it would ideally just be HighContrast, and the "for accessibility purposes" would be a comment, right?

Redis is no longer OSS in c/programming@programming.dev

Ah right. You could do a paid Redis service if you use the SSPL license though, right?

The lock-in problem at the heart of the Apple monopoly lawsuit in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] rbits@lemm.ee 28 points 2 years ago

Yeah. It's not even the fact that they don't implement Nearby Share themselves that's bad, it's that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can't even implement Nearby Share themselves

Anybody outside Europe fool iOS 17.4 yet? "No, third-party iPhone app stores won't work outside Europe – even with a VPN" in c/apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world

[–] rbits@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I don't think the 1 month grace period thing should even be legal. If it's sold in the EU, the user should be able to install third party apps, no matter their location.

But paid Redis hosting wouldn't be allowed on the new license.

Where does it say this? I can't see that in the SSPL

it breaks the fundamental freedoms that make up "FOSS"

Why? All the license says is that if you provide it as a service you must release the source code.

Meta just showed off Threads’ fediverse integration for the very first time in c/technology@lemmy.world

[–] rbits@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is NO upside to federation with Threads. Zero.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. I don't think it will affect Lemmy at all, since it's a different type of posts. But in terms of Mastodon, it means a whole lot more content for Mastodon users, and a whole lot more people to follow. And also means that people can move to Mastodon while still having the audience that Threads provides.

Of course if you think that the downsides are worse than the upsides, then that doesn't really matter. But don't say there are NO upsides.

Tidal’s subscription is getting simpler and cheaper — yes, you read that right in c/technology@lemmy.world

How do you set it up without a server. I can't get past this screen

Plexamp Select a Library screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that's pretty vital...

Yeah I just wish there was a toggle.

Also didn't they have a thing like smart shuffle before, it was just called radio. But they seem to have removed it and replaced it with smart shuffle for playlists. I can only see the radio option for albums. That was better, because then it only did it when I wanted it.
