Hi Aakash2408. Welcome to the community. Which project are you particularly interested in?
I should start following Twitter properly again (I blocked it with Freedom during working hours, but it's not really a distraction and I need it for work so I should change that)

yes, plz. we're getting more interactions on twitter these days.

Also, I like that everyone seems to be kinda freaking out about Wikimedia Enterprise

ruaok, Mr_Monkey, alastairp: I left some comments in the Youtube Player document. I looked at all services except Deezer which is not available in India. I tried with a VPN but it didn't any suggestions how to get around that.

you could SSH tunnel to the servers in germany with `ssh -D 9999 lemmy.metabrainz.org`

ruaok: I dunno, did people freak out when we started doing kinda the same? Or is the freaking out because it's an LLC?
2021-03-22 08133, 2021
ruaok
then configure your brower to a SOCK proxy on port 9999. that is how I get around blocks. :)

people freaking out about commercial anything really. not a healthy response

🤔 where have I heard this before?

I read the same in news
2021-03-22 08109, 2021

hmm. only lucifer has taken me up on the free dropbox account.
2021-03-22 08115, 2021
CatQuest
what does dropbox actually do?
2021-03-22 08158, 2021
_lucifer
the core business is cloud storage like google drive
2021-03-22 08117, 2021
CatQuest
I mean, sure hit me up
2021-03-22 08117, 2021
_lucifer
ruaok, Mr_Monkey: accessed and looked through deezer docs as well :D
2021-03-22 08141, 2021
ruaok
nice. did the proxy trick work?
2021-03-22 08118, 2021
_lucifer
didn't work for deezer. got 403s consistently.
2021-03-22 08147, 2021
_lucifer
tried a different VPN, that worked :)
2021-03-22 08115, 2021

I wonder if deezer is not available in germany. that would explain it.
2021-03-22 08122, 2021
_lucifer
the socks trick did work for a couple of other websites though
2021-03-22 08136, 2021
_lucifer
yeah could be
2021-03-22 08138, 2021

my findings are that if we only want website playback, we don't need to store user tokens for deezer and apple music. those are the only "other services: that support it.
2021-03-22 08107, 2021
ruaok
ok
2021-03-22 08109, 2021
CatQuest
soo, it means i don't need deezer/apple accounts?
2021-03-22 08129, 2021
_lucifer
both deezer and apple music support accessing user listening history and that part needs storing tokens.
