Funny how they benchmarked an ARM CPU and not a x64 one as if ARM CPUs are now faster than x64 ones.

I visit 4chan a few times a month. The only thing I remember all the time is their soramimi cake 4chan version

I do see it weird but publishing on F-Droid means almost nothing. If you are scared of their pre-built apks, compile from source instead.
If Telegram and Signal are bad, use SimpleX.

The NTSYNC driver should be merged for emulating Windows NT synchronization primitives for speeding up Windows games running on Wine / Steam Play (Proton). (Update:) But it looks like so far only the basic NTSYNC driver patches are in char-misc-next and currently not the entire complete series.

Very nice. Gaming on Linux slowly starts to be no problem at least for me.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share that I made a browser extension that enhances the ChatGPT UI ( lemm.ee )

It's not the most fancy thing out there, but if you're still using ChatGPT 3.5 and are looking for something a little different, why not give GPThemes a try? It's a free and open-source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox (Desktop and Android) that'll give your ChatGPT website a fresh new look....

So just new CSS?

Asudox ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh no, I dare not belittle CSS. I haven't even done any real website development yet. It was all just Rust and Python backends.

@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Well, I haven't really started building it yet. I do plan on using Leptos for an upcoming project I have.

Asudox ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Dioxus is indeed nice, however it feels too "bloated".
The WASM files are bigger than what Leptos produces and Dioxus is not just focused on web development but also desktop and mobile apps. I don't need that. Leptos is good enough.
I do plan on releasing a mobile app if this project gets significant interest, I'd probably do that in Kotlin so that the app is native and not web rendered.

PMs today aren't really private as in E2EE.
They're private as in only you, the receiver and the "trust me bro" company can see them. In special data breach cases, the attacker as well.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I'm pretty sure that I/someone could just fork this project once it's done and make a few changes to it to make it a audiovisual content tracker.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

No, have you read the body text?
I am planning to create an anime/manga tracker, I'm not looking for one.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I'll crosspost there later.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Is there a good reason why? Even MAL takes user submissions.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Ok cool, so even when that is out of the way, are the images copyrighted? Because I'd like to download the images and host them on my servers.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Guess I can download and host them in the EU as this project won't be commercial.

Asudox OP , (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I see. I can use the Jikan API to scrape animes and mangas which will take approximately 1-2 days after I get approval then.
Oh and I forgot to mention, the federation part isn't really how people think it will be I guess.
The only federation that will be done will be the reviews, threads and the comments in them. With every anime/manga/vn, etc. being a new community which will contain those threads and reviews. And because of that, I don't really know if this project is something people would want to self host. I guess I could provide full dumps of the database every month or something but I suppose that would be expensive. Then there are images as well, which will take hundreds of GBs easily even in compressed form.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

It is, but I have no choice other than that if I can't scrape websites.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh sorry.

Asudox OP , (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, though I am not sure how the federated instance admins would react.
I am planning for every anime, manga, vn, etc. to have their own communities. This means about over 100k communities being made in an instant.
Maybe instead of creating the communities in an instant, creating them when user activity first happens would be more fit. But this would also restrict other platforms' users being able to comment on never heard or new anime entries until someone from the anime tracking platform comments or reviews them.

Thanks btw.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

That seems like a good idea. I'll keep it in mind.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Wouldn't Internet Archive be a bit slow? And also, I don't want to stress their servers.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Thanks.

Asudox OP , (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Correct. I thought there was some way to prevent those duplicates because of the federation, but apparently there's no such check being done so it's all duplicates. For that reason I won't put any effort into making the database federated. Only threads, reviews and comments will be federated. This might change as I make it though. There are also clubs in MAL which I might copy and implement in this project and they could be federated as well.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I can see that being a problem.

Asudox OP , (edited )
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh well, no. The database won't be decentralized. That just invites chaos.
Bookwyrm did that and now there are lots of duplicates in their library, which I definitely want to avoid. The things that will be federated are animes' forums (as communities in Lemmy for example), and those communities will have threads that will be either a forum thread or a review which others can comment on from any federated platform. Some other things might get federated in the future.

I decided to just scrape either MAL alone or multiple sources.

If you have any ideas on how the database can be decentralized while efficiently avoiding duplicates and spam, please do say it.

What do you mean by "lists in the code"?
Which lists and do you mean by "in the code" hardcoded?

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

What? What do you mean full-fledged JSON. I won't be storing the animes in JSON, but in a PostgreSQL DB. I don't understand what you mean...

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, I see. Ok, I get it now. JSON indeed would be very slow for this project. I also do think of maybe caching some stuff for this reason.

Asudox OP ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Yep, that's what I was thinking.

Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse?

I've explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can't help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a...

I will try and make a federated anime tracking website in summer. Not sure if that is unique though.

Asudox ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

Reviews and the forums is my idea.
Basically, every anime, manga, etc. will have its own community and the reviews and forum threads will be a new post.
I also want to include VN tracking in it if I can find a source for it, unlike MAL.

Asudox ,
@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, you can just install another DE on it if the looks is the problem.
There's also System76's new COSMIC DE coming out somewhere in summer. It should be blazingly responsive as it's written in Rust and has a GNOME-like UI.

It's about to get Material You

@Asudox@lemmy.world avatar

The new client will use Material You.

Switched to Linux a year ago. Haven't looked back since. I didn't even know Windows was getting those creepy ass advertisements all over the operating system if it weren't for the news here. Now I don't want to go back more.

It does make stuff great. Even Microsoft is trying out Rust in their shit operating system because apparently 30% of all CVEs are related to, you guessed it, memory issues. And Rust will most likely solve them all.
Even the Linux kernel has Rust code in it now. If Rust was not of importance, why would the Linux kernel get rusty? Especially Linus Torvalds is very strict about these things.
Sure, bad code rewritten in Rust does not make it any better than it originally was.
Plus you get C-like speed with good syntax and memory safety, what more could you ask for?

Team Fortress 2 has native support and is very addictive and has a large active community despite the game being over 15 years old now.

...just don't play in casual servers. It's filled with bots

If I am not mistaken, there's already an import tool. Or was it Codeberg?

The problem with my gaming laptop is that there's some hardware issues that are pretty costly. I'd rather just get a new laptop at that point.

Asudox OP ,

Thanks for the search.

That's the app. A native app is coming soon
