Open Source

Hello everyone! I noticed that many people here are willing and interested in contributing to the open source world with amazing talents, but unable to find a good project to contribute to.

So I was wondering if it would be a good idea for us to group up together, and create a club where we could explore different open source projects, and contribute to it, while contributing to the good of the community we use.

Experienced contributors could also contribute and assist in beginners by mentoring on the method of contributing to open source too.

What do you say?

Hello again!!

Sorry for the big delay in the announcements. I know it has been a long time I have not made any announcements, but I will try my best next time this doesn't happen again.

So, through the medium of this post I would like to share with you all the v1.15.0 major release version of the websurfx project which was released on the 25th of March.

If you are new, and you don't know what is websurfx then I would suggest taking a look at my previous post here:

https://programming.dev/post/2678496

Which covers in depth about what the project is and why it exists.

Credits

Before I share with you the changelog, what this release version means and a preview on what we are planning to work on for the next major release v2.0.0. I would first like to thank all our contributors and maintainers because of whom this was all possible. Specially I would like to thank spencerjibz, ddotthomas and evanyang1 who have been invaluable to the project. Also, Websurfx would not have been possible without alamin655 and xffxff early involvement.

Thanks 💖 to all the people involved in the project

Now, let's dive straight into what this release version actually means.

What does this release version means

This new release version v1.15.0 introduces the new ranking algorithm for search results on the search page which ranks the results based on the relevancy to the user's search query.

Changelog

The changelog of all the changes can be found here:

Preview of the goals for the next major release

• Different levels of privacy to choose from with the help of rust's conditional compiling features (In progress).
• Even more engines will be supported.
• Categories would be added to search results like images, news, etc.
• More themes will be provided by default
• More animations for the websurfx frontend will be supported.
• Multi language support would be added.
• I2p and tor support will be provided.
• Reduce animations would be added for those who don't want animations and effects on the frontend.
• And lots more ✨.

You can find the current ones at labels.tahoe.be, but this is all a work in progress!

Had fun making this little tool for generating YouTube links with timecodes from mobile devices. You can check it out here: https://tahoe.be/youtube-timecode

This is still somewhat of a work in progress so I'd appreciate some feedback! Hope you guys like it :)

It’s scary that the Unity debacle is not just happening in games but a very real threat not just in digital and app space but in real life.

It can happen in medicine, housing, even the food we eat if the trend of subscriptions and lock ins continue.

Despite this, a global concerted effort towards Open Source tech is still not happening.

In Unity for example, there is a push to transition to Unreal but less so for Godot. We see this happening with reddit too. And soon maybe we’ll see it in real life. What’s stopping our hotels and landlords from charging us everytime we open doors.

We see this in the rampant mandatory tips. Where everyone is automatically charged per order.

It’s scary and frustrating at the same time that there may not be a clear remedy for this. As the world shifts to subscriptions and services, do we truly own anything anymore?

Hello! I'm trying to import my youtube "watch later" playlist into my piped account on piped.yt. I extracted the videos links with this js script:

let p = [];
document.querySelectorAll("ytd-playlist-video-renderer a.yt-simple-endpoint").forEach(v => {
	if(v.href.includes("/watch?v=") && !p.includes(v.href)){
		p.push(v.href.split('&list=')[0]);
	}
})
console.log('"' + p.join('","') + '"');

I then created a dummy playlist on piped and exported it as json, in order to modify it to add my videos. this is how it looks like:

{"format":"Piped","version":1,"playlists":[{"name":"WatchLater","type":"playlist","visibility":"private","videos":["https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somethinghere","https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somethingheretoo"]}]}

and I replaced the videos list between [ ] with the output of the script, making sure that all quotation marks are closed. I then imported the file and.... the playlist created has 0 videos. why? am I doing something wrong?
