Hello there! I wrote today this tiny js script to export my watchlater playlist to a json file in order to import it into piped, as Youtube does not want you to do this for mysterious reasons. Sharing if anybody is in need!

Hello! I'm looking for a foss navigator app for my android device, but all navigator apps I've tried (OSMand, organic map) are missing a feature: when I calculate the route from point A to point B, on Google Maps a few possible routes are displayed, and then I chose the one I prefer; on other apps only one possible route is displayed, and if for any motivation I don't want to pass from a certain street or something like this, I have no other options. Is there an app (or a way on these apps) to make it calculate a few possible routes instead of just one?

thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm trying to make google maps go work on my android smartphone. Google maps go is basically a wrapper of the website, that should provide navigation feature with another app called "navigator for Google maps". I have both installed, but when I click on "navigate in app", the link "maps.app.goo.gl/somethingverylong" is redirected to the play store website instead of being opened with the navigator app. Both apps have all permissions granted. What am I doing wrong?

Bonus question: do I really need the google maps go app or is it also possible to redirect to the navigator app from the browser?
Bonus question #2: would the navigator app work without google play services, on a degoogled rom?

Thanks in advance!

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?

Hello! I'm looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn't find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the "global" forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather is the one that I'm currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Hello! My smartphone is dying, so I'll soon have to buy a new one. I'd like my new phone to have pure Android, without all the apps that manufactures install. Ideally I'd like to remove the majority of Google services too, but there are some that I can't replace yet, so I'm still dependent on, like google maps. What smartphone do you suggest me? In your opinion, would it be better to buy a smartphone with already stock android or to buy any smartphone, and then replace the OS?

With the increase popularity of the linux desktop and the steamdeck, will new viruses and malwares be developed for linux systems? should we better use an antivirus?

Hello fellow lemmings! Fedora KDE user here, and quite happy about it, it didn't break a single time and packages are up to date. The only thing that bother me is DNF's speed... a single search may take up to 5 seconds, and if I'm dependency-hunting I may need several searches, summing up the delays. I'm asking if switching to openSUSE Tumbleweed could be a good idea or not. The idea of the rolling release is really intriguing, whole system upgrades always makes me nervous, and zypper, being written in C++, should be faster than DNF.

I would stick to Wayland KDE, as my current fedora setup.

Other than this, I don't see any other obvious pros or cons, so I'm asking you: why should I switch and why shouldn't I? any tips from someone who used both?

thanks in advance!

Hello fellow lemmings! According to this reddit discussion in 2018 there wasn't any foss alternatives to google pay. How's the situation in 2023?
