Can’t it be used as a replacement for the infrared port (if the phone doesn’t have one)?

Thanks for the screenshot. I don’t have a working laptop right now to check how Lemmy works on PC. I didn’t realise that the display of media in the mobile and desktop version could be different. Probably because some people don’t use the mobile version there is a misunderstanding and they don’t understand what we are talking about.

However, the problem with displaying videos in the mobile version has been around for a long time. Also, after clicking on the dark square that is displayed instead of the preview, you are prompted to open the video in a new tab as if you were opening another site.

YouTube previews are displayed normally. I suppose this problem occurs only with direct links, example www.site.com/827474/mycats.mp4

As you saw in the screenshots, for the test I used direct links to videos uploaded to reddit and the x0.at service.

I did the test in two different browsers and in two different instances. I’ve also read in the comments under various video posts that other people are also discovering this problem.

If you enable the “PC version” setting in your mobile browser, it looks like this

Just a black square.

Are you serious?
This is what it looks like in Jerboa https://pixshare.de/images/iLzOo8.jpeg

Here’s what the video display looks like on web instances.

I would like to add that we are talking primarily about the ability to insert a direct link with a video located on a third-party service. To do this, you need to display previews/thumbnails, which are not available now.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think it will require a lot of additional resources.

Users can save videos to their cloud services, such as gdrive, and insert a direct link to the video when creating a post.

I don’t think that displaying previews of videos hosted on third-party services will take more resources than previews of gif images.

This is cool. This is the first time I have heard about such projects.

Will there be compacted earth on top of the tunnel so animals can walk?

I think that the overpass needs more powerful supports

How? There is no pop-up window with options. I think the call to the system file manager is written into the code of some applications.

The answer to your question. There are news channels that are only on social networks. Or bloggers who publish insider information about new equipment. As far as I know, you can’t do without scraping on the server if you want to receive news from social networks.

Except for off-the-shelf solutions like Nitter instants.

Unfortunately the display of content in different RSS readers is different.

I understand that RSS is for displaying text and photo information, but the lack of video and audio playback in various app is disappointing.

In addition, it is often necessary to configure the server part to scan commercial sites. This is something that beginners cannot handle.

I tried listening to podcasts through RSS apps in F-droid. Nothing came of this venture. These RSS readers do not support any media other than photos. I will test Miniflux in the near future. They declare their support YouTube.

I didn’t know Twitter had an RSS option. How do we access it?

Can’t site owners know from which IP address their news and pictures were downloaded via RSS?

TV series Farscape. For its time it was cooler than the Stargate series.

When I read that someone is planning to open their code, I remember the news about the releases of the Sailfish operating system: “The operating system is partially open source, but the layer for running Android apps is proprietary. However, the code of this layer was planned to be made open in 2017”

Planning doesn’t mean doing.

Is it just me or is WireMin closed source?

In addition, the app contains Google tracker (This is what App Manager shows).

It’s not the first time I’ve seen this app recommended in Lemmy and I don’t understand why.

I think there are a lot of similar apps in Google Play.

Upd: I checked Damus. Contains 24 trackers. 😂

I hate these captcha. You look at the picture, the edge of the traffic light or the motorcycle goes outside the box. You decide to click on the square where this tiny part of the image is and the message “This is incorrect!”.

Captcha without images from Cloudflare is even more infuriating. The so-called “Connection reliability check” takes quite a long time and this captcha appears often.
