I wonder why we don’t have AI browser extensions that can recognise and obscure possible ads / unwanted content yet

I will add another amazing alternative i’ve found, currently working great: https://www.distractionfreeapps.com/ This was exactly what i was looking for.

Badum tssss

TREE STYLE TAB

If it was less expensive and provided some privacy i would probably happily pay for it.

The RSS feature is amazing, i wanted to do something like that with RSS Bridge, but it looks like both Instagram and Facebook are doing their best to block exactly these kind of things, so it works half of the times and it needs to be fixed quite often, i think now it doesn’t work very well either… Also it is very complicated to be set up if you don’t know a bit of PHP. Of course i’m willing to learn but all this blocking that projects like this (see Barinsta or Bibliogram) get is really discouraging. I think Meta content is probably one of the worst to scrape.

Regarding Proxygram: for now it works, i’m using a public istance to grab some RSS feeds, if it proves to be reliable i will be happy to host my own istance as well, if possible :) It’s sometimes slow to grab data (i guess because sessions get easily blocked/limited, getting error 500) but not really a problem as i just want to see new events every couple of days, one issue tho is that the RSS doesn’t show all the posts (only showing the last three of them), which can be annoying as you may lose something if you don’t see it and save it.

EDIT: It actually does get other posts as well, just reaaally slowly, meaning that if you follow really large accounts in a week or so you can find your feed full of older posts marked as unread.

Anyway thanks to whoever is making the hard job of building/owning an instagram scraper, I really know it can be tough.

Exactly lmao

I love Lemmy because you can see that people actually understand that foss platforms don’t keep themselves up magically but there’s actually people involved that work hard for making internet a better place without any economical incentive, but just their ideal.

Not necessarily, of course open source is better, but i really just want something that gives me power over the content i can see, this is usually what happens in open source, that’s why i posted here, but im open to closedsource solutions. I didn’t know of the existence of modded stuff like this. How can they mod a closed source app? Are they partner with instagram? How does it work? Do they just scrape content like anyone else? How are they not getting banned like other scraper apps?

The vpn thing worked!

Thank you!!

Anybody knows what happened to the impervious browser?

You just need to reboot it manually

Hugo, Jekill, Docusaurus, host on github pages, netlify. Buy a domain for 15$ per year.

Newpipe also gives you free download

Had to deal with that this morning, my god what does git want me to do

Gotta say thar for someone who is currently following a JavaScript course this is pretty descouraging ahaha

I gotta say i also fell in that category of people trying to use JavaScript for stuff that is not exactly JavaScript suited. For example i’m writing a little script that changes markdown links in some files using the fs node, this is probably better suited to do in bash or other languages but the first thought was: i know a bit of JavaScript and that took a lot of time, what would be the point of learning a new syntax with all the stuff i will have to learn only on js!

May i ask why everyone hates JavaScript so much? It’s not ironic it’s a real question, i can’t really get it, is it just because it doesn’t have types? Or there’s more?

That looks way more than a home server, it looks like something i would expect to see for a small business!

You can also host deluge with the scheduler plugin on a raspberry and set your torrents to only download/seed at night!
