I mean, good for them. Now, if anyone has actual mental health issues, please get in touch with a trained, human therapist.

“LOL”, I guess?

While true, doesn’t have anything to do with my comment?

I use markdown for pretty much everything, and I agree with the overall notion of this rundown, but —

Seeing weird characters when you copy-paste from AI? That’s because ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and others use Markdown to format their responses.

Yeah, maybe that’s not the gotcha the author thought it would be.

Markdown — so stupid simple even stochastic parrots can figure it out is a slogan that will age like milk.

Yes… In society… What else?

Most of their operations are now running with money as the motivation

Let’s be real, that was always their end goal. They were never “open” except in name. Their free services were only to a) build a user base, and b) use it as unpaid beta testers.

NoProvider2Push is a good call! Haven’t paid attention to that, thanks!

Yeah, as I said earlier it wasn’t completely clear to me if this was only a question about push notifications or just all-round play services replacement. That is why I also mentioned SunUp which uses UnifiedPush.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. There is microG that spoofs Play services to apps. That’s been around for several years.

You can also find open source push notification apps on f-droid. Some of those might require a self hosted server, while for example Sunup uses Mozilla’s server.

Whether those work on your device probably depends on your ability to root it 🤷

“Federated” — why? My immediate questions are: What purpose does federation serve in this context? How are song lyrics like Mastodon updates or Peertube videos?

Federation is great for some purposes, but not for all.

Have you tried the Wayback machine?

Companies like OpenAI built “Super AI”

Let me stop you right there. No they didn’t, and at this rate they never will. What we have is shit “AI”, and if your solution to that builds on more shit “AI”, you’ll end up with a Jurassic Park sized midden.

Everything past that first false premise is best read as satire.

Right, it was the local filesharing part (like at a W/LAN party) that I wanted to recommend pirate box for, so I overlooked the other functions 🙂

Either way, bookmarked your GH repo for future reference, excellent project!

I’m an Endeavour user and I approve this message.

Oh hey, this is just what I was looking for recently! I wanted to recommend PirateBox to another thread on here, but realised it was eol’ed six years back. This is pretty much similar usage, right?

That’s fine, mbin didn’t exactly provide the url I’d expect. Callinghttps://kbin.earth/m/vinyl@lemmy.world the “original post URL” rather than https://lemmy.world/post/28778258 looks a bit off to me.

Just plucked the URL from my own latest post to test: https://kbin.earth/m/[email protected]/t/1255550

According to mbin, that’s the original post URL, but does the site need a different format? Because trying another random post from my timeline I get a list of votes: https://programming.dev/post/29327147

Appreciate the effort, but

Even simpler, I love it! 👍

Simplest possible solution, Occam’s Inventory 😄

I use markdown extensively, but I’m honestly not fond of its tables function (which I assume you use for this purpose?). It works, but it’s a bit static in my experience. Do you run up against the same, or is it actually an advantage in your use case?
