  • Bluesky is federated though. Like, you can selfhost every part of it and communicate with bsky users just fine: see wafrn and blacksky.

    You can argue that it's not decentralised because one instance has 99% of the users though

  • Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI

    Jump

  • I may be misinformed but the article says

    We’ve verified that every AST produced by the Rust parser is identical to the C++ one, and all bytecode generated by the Rust compiler is identical to the C++ compiler’s output.

    which I took to mean that the new code behaves 100% identically to the old code, like a byte-perfect decompilation. If that's not the case and it's just the same in their suite of tests then I'd agree with you.

  • Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI

    Jump

  • Yeah, using AI to help you rewrite code (which is tedious) in a scenario where there are clear test cases (it either works or it doesn't) is basically the ideal usecase.

  • Actually not a terrible way to use AI. Hopefully the port goes well

  • Google Maps ‘limited view’ now hides reviews, images for signed-out users

    Jump

  • It doesn't show a lot of businesses or reviews or anything like that. For navigation they're fine but for business discoverability they're not nearly as good.

  • I hate when that happens on mobile, do they think people have infinite data??

  • Any way to make a static background stay while you scroll?

    Jump

  • For me the image stays there the whole time.

    You could try using an extension like stylus to change the css on the page to make the image behave how you like, but you'd need some knowledge of how css works.

  • Fluxer is another open-source Discord alternative

  • I probably won't try it because I want to use a federated solution like matrix, but that's super cool! You could probably make a post about it.

  • That's awesome! It's a shame the first pr got closed because the maintainer prefers a worse provider lmao.

  • What's up with the þ being used but not ð?

    Jump

  • Yes, but that would take more space and take more time to write, and "this replaces a letter" is how a lot of diacritics have appeared. For example, the ñ replaced a "nn" in spanish. This would also remove some ambiguity in pronunciation on words like rathole and foothill.

    Also, letter like that are written with dead keys, usually, so it would be more like one new character.

    Again, not worth the effort of changing, but it would be an improvement.

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • If you look at the MSC's only half of it is, and to convince people to switch I'd need a reasonable fast (Sliding sync) client with native voice chat (matrixRTC) that has a somewhat discord-like UI.

    So basically I just have to wait for cinny to implement that.

    The

    most clients adopt it

    was the important part of my comment

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • I agree, but right now the clients aren't quite mature enough. Once matrix 2.0 is done and merged and most clients adopt it it should be good

  • Klipy is probably a better option, afaik their api is a dropin replacement and the gif search is much better.

  • What's up with the þ being used but not ð?

    Jump

  • Not directly related but I don't know where else I'll get the chance to bring this up:

    I've always though that if the existence of "th" bothers you, adding a diacritic to consonants to indicate the sound change makes more sense than the þ.

    For instance,

    the = ţe she = şe che = çe

    Obviously I wouldn't argue for replacing ţose compounds wiţ ţose I've şown, since it wouldn't be close to being worth çanging, but I do ţink it would still make more sense ţan bringing back ţe ţorn.

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • Imo all it needs is for 2.0 to come out and for discord-like clients like cinny to mature to get to a point where it's a good discord replacement, and both of those seem pretty close to happening.

  • Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age Verification

    Jump

  • It's kind of confusing but: basically some matrix 2.0 features are implemented in an non-finished state by element X (and synapse) as a testbed for those features, but the actual features aren't finalised or implemented in most clients. The MSC's (matrix spec changes) aren't merged, so clients won't want to implement it.

    2/4 of the MSC's required for 2.0 are merged as of now, and the other two are close.

    2024 was when those features began to be ready to be beta tested, but it takes a long time to get a protocol finalised, since it can't be easily changed once done.

    Think of it like a wayland protocol that isn't merged, but a desktop, say kde, has an implementation already.
