@babe Regrettably accurate

@babe I use Arch, btw...

@babe One of the highest prases you can give software is that "it just works" and I don't think people get that enough

@babe I used to be like that in the mid-late 90s, because I was a Mac zealot. And then I became a Linux *and* Mac zealot. And then I accidentally became an OSS maintainer.

Now I'm none of those things.

Over time I've become painfully aware that what works for me ain't for everyone, that nobody really cares about what works for me if it doesn't for them, so now neither do I. Someone wants to use IPX networking, or an ancient version of Solaris on hardware that keeps the house warm? Go for it!

@FediTips Personally, I wouldn't, as I don't consider it particularly well-run, but whatever

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux

Followed.

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux

no, i won't follow bellingcat

because i already do 😁

@FediTips
That gets @Bellingcat a follow. 👍

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux Amazon has so many great deals, but did you know you could get $750 for free to shop? I just claimed mine here: https://bit.ly/3OVOW5X

@FediTips @Bellingcat I remember when Stux said he would consider being a cop. Maybe bellingcat should switch instances while they’re at it.

@FediTips @Bellingcat Thank you! ❤️

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux I already follow both and donate to stux monthly. He's my admin! Both good folk to follow. TY for sharing this.

@precariousmind No me extraña que lo baneen. Mirando en la propia web de esta gente, en las cuentas anuales de 2023 aparece toda esta lista de organizaciones y fundaciones, que no son mas que tapaderas de la CIA.

Alt...

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux Thanks to you and the #Kremlin, I have a new account to follow! Looks promising.

@stux Dude! Congrats! You’ve made the mega big time! So pleased to be a monthly contributor & urge others to join me supporting mstdn_social!

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux awright time for a little barbara streisand effect

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux
a follow for @Bellingcat 😃

@FediTips done

@FediTips
I've never been sure how I feel about @Bellingcat itself, just like I've never been quite sure how I feel about WikiLeaks as a project. But I know how I feel about censorship, and especially the abuse of copyright enforcement as censorship. So on that basis, that's a follow for Bellingcat from me.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Putin.
@ParadeGrotesque @stux

@FediTips @Bellingcat @stux Fingers crossed Russia doesn't take it any further.

I have my suspicion that Bellingcat is a project aligned with FIVEEYES. Their stances closely track.

I put that point to them once and they neither denied nor confirmed.

The Five Eyes and Gladio, by its various names, were put in place after WWII as covert action capabilities which would survive and continue to function to resist another occupation of Europe by dictatorship. So was not a fan generally but yeah, are you folks up to the task at hand?

@peertube Congratulations! Great work! Any advice to channel owners how to get included in search by default? Even directly searching for “puppet building” doesn’t return anything on https://puppet.zone/

@peertube I would love to see your mascot on the app icon. Currently it looks very sterile.

@peertube any time soon in f-droid store?

@peertube

@peertube Good job! I'm waiting for f-droid release.

@peertube 🥳🥳🥳

@peertube Congratulations! Looks rather barebone for now, however it works well which is definitely a good start. 🙂

@peertube Congratulations! But I couldn't find the source code yet.

@peertube quick FTUE test, maybe these could be converted to usability enhancements:

- On launch I clicked on "I know where to go"
- Typed my instance URL to the search field. Nothing showed up. I expected app to detect it's an instance.
- I noticed a button "Add platform by URL". I clicked it, and it showed an empty search field. I expected it to copy the existing search field as the URL. But the best would be if it could automatically probe the search text for a Peertube instance.
- I cancelled the process to write this FTUE test report.
- Now I'd like to add my own instance again. In "My accounts" view I see only "Sepia" but I can't easily find a way to add a new platform.
- After a bit of browsing the UI, I found the way. You need to search for something, press "Show more platforms" button under "Platforms" list. It's difficult to find and I expected it to be in "Platforms" top menu.
- Looks like you need to type https://domain.org/ instead of domain.org. It could be added automatically.
- If the URL is invalid, the "Connect" button does nothing, it just blinks. I'd expect an error message.

My instance seems to be down, can't continue further now.
I Tried playing videos from explore. Most work fine but some just display "Error: null" in center of screen.

Thanks for the release and I hope this report is productive.

@peertube congratulations on the launch but I checked the GitLab releases section to download the app but it's empty.

@peertube @kenobit guarda

@peertube Ugly bug: The content language selection seems to be without functionality.

@peertube Can you add our instance to defaults (tube.pol.social)?

We are biggest peertube instance in Poland, and we are active moderate instance.

https://tube.pol.social/

@peertube Congrats!

@peertube
Need an option to follow creators.

@peertube
Wow! 😎😎 I have to test this!
@sweber_de

@peertube

Congratulations.

And thank you very much for all you have done or plan to do.

Congratulations, @peertube ! I'm really heartened by the commitment made to understand and plan to avoid the abuses that the online video industry has subjected people. This calls back our humanity and recognises we are people, not biomatter laying in gel-filled pods.

@peertube Hello. I translated the app to Polish. Will have to test it in the app later when it releases on f-droid with Polish and context that was missing from the translation page. I hope I did a good enough job for the time being. Cheers.

@peertube
Queridas en @fediversetv, ¡¡necesitamos PeerTube 6 para salir en la app!! Pleeeeeaseeee ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

@peertube I'd like to test logging into my account on the app, but I can't see video.infosec.exchange on there at all

@peertube Great start - Congratulations!

Was able to find our community instance https://sfba.video but couldn’t figure out how to login with the app. Is that a feature in the making or is something missing on our instance?

@peertube for iOS, have you considered restricting instances on your "explore" tab to local-only view for the whitelisted servers and allowing us to add servers like on android?

I ask because I was able to land on a server that has "naked news" on their "featured" tab through a video on a whitelisted platform, which might explain why the app stores keep pushing back against you guys. Practically zero reviewers will know how to find objectionable content if they have to know a server address.

@peertube@framapiaf.org Do you have a roadmap of what you have planned for your app?

@peertube What about a desktop app? :p

@peertube I love the new app! One question - how can I log into my account on one of the platforms? I would like to be able to like and comment on videos from within the app, but without being able to login I can't actually do this

@peertube Login in to my instance to access my subscriptions was the sole reason I was looking forward to an official app. I'm baffled that this is not possible on release.

@peertube vous avez votre texte fr que vous n'avez pas partager sur votre compte… :
https://framablog.org/2024/12/10/peertube-sur-mobile-un-univers-de-videos-qui-prend-soin-de-votre-attention/

@peertube Can I use my Mastodon account? Don't really want to create/manage a separate account for video.

Die PeerTube-Mobil-App ist da!
Eine einfache Möglichkeit, Plattformen zu erkunden und #Videos zu genießen.
Frei von Doomscrolling und dunklen Mustern, respektiert diese App Ihre Aufmerksamkeit.
Erfahren Sie alles über die Hintergründe und die kommenden Updates auf unserem Blog:

@peertube I, sadly, cannot play *any* videos or livestreams, tried a few different platforms. Mostly getting an error message like in the screenshot or Error: null. Android 12 here.

@peertube super excited to install this whenever it's on Fdroid! :3

@grunfink great release! Thank you!

Turns out all you need is good old cgi-fcgi and a starter script. I'll send you a PR with a proper example as soon as possible.

I think this shows how Snac is the cheapest and easiest to install #fediverse server, lowering the bar to self-hosting #privacy friendly instances for schools, group of friends or families.

And using it from #fedilab is just as easy as any other instance.

Thanks for the great work @grunfink@comam.es!

that's funny, because I've always thought a lot of apps behave pretty much like a website and the app is unnecessary.

@FediTips which is something Apple (iOS) is trying to kill! Dammit Apple.

Don't buy iOS.

@justine I love it!

@justine this thing gets incredibly sexy. No surprise that Black&red are often mixed together in lingerie. Seems like I am very reactive to such combination, on laptops too.
#itsBlackFridayButDontPurchaseAThinkpadYouFoolCarefulAtYourBankAccount

@vkc how dare you 😆

@vkc kde blahsma

@vkc

I prefer KDE Plasma.

Other Desktop Environments are available.

@peertube very frustrating that the first priority here wasn’t making it possible to log into an instance, or at least manually add your favorites. Trying to be optimistic here but this preview is unusable for me (literally none of the instances I watch videos from are here), and seems like it’s taking a very “walled garden” approach that feels antithetical to the whole point of the federated net
