Ah. Sorry - I should have clicked on your profile instead of just assuming. I can see from https://programming.dev/post/19948790 that you've interacted with programming.dev before. Clicking on your username in that post gets a blank screen (maybe that's progress?).
No, it's programming.dev being on the blink (or behind in processing incoming activities). You can see by comparing the post at: https://lemmy.world/post/20496937 (made by a programming.dev user) with it's own copy here: https://programming.dev/post/20191915 - your UI might be too clever for it's own good and make looking at those posts on their own instances difficult, but the difference is that there's no comments or votes on programming.dev, but there is on lemmy.world (and other instances which have their own copy of that post).
If you were banned, it would show your profile with a 'banned' sticker. The error message is because it hasn't heard of you at all, and isn't going to resolve you because you're not a logged-in local user.
Fair enough. I'm not trying to recruit you, or present rivalries where none exist. We can communicate reasonably well regardless of whatever platform we prefer, which is the whole point of this Fediverse thingy anyway.
Well, it won't help you (or me), but the the most active is probably https://hexbear.net/c/ama (the lemmy.world seems to have got nuked, and the already-mentioned lemmy.ca one is the only other one I found)
Nice. The thumbnail image reminded me of an Open Pandora, which similarly looked like a chunky DS and ran Linux (it was mostly intended for playing emulated games). The Pandora was never that repairable though, in the sense that it was mostly a system on a chip.
Before I even looked, I thought that I bet this device is more expensive than I'd assume - the crowdfunding site is listing prices roughly between $1000 and $1500.
PieFed has some design principles, including being accessible on lower-end devices and for those with unreliable bandwidth, which mean that it's default UI is never going to look like apps which involve downloading a sizable chunk of Typescript.
I'm okay with its look. Partly because it's themeable, and there's a theme called 'Card Shadow' which looks more modern imo. And partly because Lemmy can feel quite slow showing 20 posts at a time, whereas PieFed throws 100 at a time. And also because there will eventually be an API, allowing people to view it how they want (similar to Lemmy - lemmy-ui is maybe not that great, but there's other frontends which I think are an improvement)
He's posted before that Day 1 sales covered the cost the device itself, so a decent chuck of everything after that will have been pure profit. It was probably always doomed, what with YouTube being YouTube, so it doesn't look like he's too shaken up about it.
OP is admin of https://diagonlemmy.social - if you look there directly (rather than at your instance's copy of 'leaky cauldron') they seem to have an images problem - anything that should have copied locally is broken. I'm not sure that the same person creating a new instance (which is what they seem to be saying) would be the solution tbh.
I guess we can only be thankful that 'map_enthusiasts' is the name they went for (since MAP is a term pedophiles have tried to rebrand themselves with). As soon as there's any overlap with anything that anyone finds sexual, it shows how ridiculous it all is ('carporn' is nice pictures of cars, but 'car-crash porn' is a form of Symphorophilia (arousal from accidents), 'whatever-porn' is nice pictures of whatever, as long as that whatever isn't women, because women-porn is actually the thing called porn).
Anyway ... clearly this thing annoys me more than it should.
Oh this is one of those new-fangled 'immutable' OSs. I just watched a PeerTube Video from The Linux Experiment about it - it looks complicated but it's something I'd like to try out at some point in the future.
This is from 'Shaun' btw, who I mostly associate with videos criticising JK Rowling and her controversial friends.
It's worth the watch, imo (though I can't claim to be massively informed about the subject, so I have nothing to refute what he is saying). From what I remember, the gist of the video is that Israel is colonial power in a post-colonial world.
Yeah (well, nerds anyway). With Lemmy, if you do curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://lemmy.wtf/c/gametrailers/followers | jq . it tells you there's 68 but not who they are. With PeerTube you can do curl --header 'accept: application/activity+json' --location https://peertube.wtf/video-channels/startgametrailers/followers?page=1 | jq . and it provides names (including me and you and a bot from leaf.dance)
It's perhaps worth mentioning that - unlike Lemmy - PeerTube makes subscriber info public. I mean, it's no great secret that I've subbed to your channel at !startgametrailers@peertube.wtf, but it's the kind of thing that some people care about.
I think I've finally fully mourned the loss of the 'Marathon' name to the clearly inferior 'Snickers' - bring 'em back at the size Marathons bars were, that'd be a thing!
