I love federation, but why does a git server need federation? Am I missing something, or is this federating for the sake of federating?

Not that you should vibe code, but you could vibe code this so easily. Have it output a static website. Give the source code a scan if you’re paranoid. Check the network tab if you’re really really paranoid. But literally you could have it output this as a static index.html file that you drop into your browser of choice.

This is the only type of coding LLMs should ever be used for imo. A small, very clearly defined task that is very easy to verify if it works. And code that won’t infect a larger project.

Edit: as others pointed out, that url isn’t base64 encoded. You would have to clearly define what you are trying to do if you want this to work. For example, do all urls follow the same format as the above?

I’m not an apple hater, but that’s kinda insane considering how hostile they are towards developers.

I maintain my own Lemmy client (Blorp), and this sounds like a cool idea. How do you get your known list of federated instances?

I currently have my own threadiverse crawler I wrote, but I disregard any Lemmy/PieFed instance with <20 monthly active users. That brings the list down to about 63 Lemmy instances and 7 PieFed. I wonder if that list is extensive enough to implement the resolve object mechanism you mentioned.

Please tell us your birthday

Ok this is actually a great point, and I’d like to pose another question. If you’re gonna pee standing up with the lid open, what’s the optimal angle to minimize splatter? I would love to see an experiment or simulation to find the optimal angle.

I have. Men with bad aim. Skill issue.

One possible fix is adding a urinal target. I’m sure you could implement a similar concept in a regular toilet.

A urinal target, sometimes known by the specific types urinal fly or urinal bee, is an image or mark placed inside a urinal to encourage users to aim in a particular place so as to avoid messes and reduce cleaning costs.

This is a shit take literally. Why would I sit down to pee if I don’t have to? That’s more contact with the gross toilet.

Liquid Glass is nice. But battery life isn’t good :/

Yes! There would be a spec written for blocklists that could be applied to Lemmy or PoeFed. You can quickly toggle on/off a blocklist. For example, I can subscribe to a “US Politics” blocklist, and toggle it on/off when I need a break from news.

People don’t understand PieFed. It’s a fantastic project, but if you think switching to newer price of software that is still under development is going to have less hiccups…. Well you clearly don’t know how software works. This is not a knock on PieFed. On the contrary, I love what they built, but you have to have patience. This is free software build and hosted by volunteers. OPs just gonna wind up complaint that PieFed also has hiccups.

It’s kinda mildly infuriating that this is mildly infuriating. Lemmy and PieFed are free, open source software run by dedicated volunteers. Many of those volunteers spend quite a bit of time making sure everything runs smoothly. Hiccups are gonna happen. You should donate to your instance if you wanna help things run smoother in the future.

I thought Elon was doing his own party now. Who is “us”?

Web 1.0 was great. Why Web 2.0?

I think the only country missing is France. But I think I can actually update the app listing to include France.

Thanks for including Blorp. Blorp can also be downloaded on:

• Google Play
• Google Play Open Beta

If you pick either Google Play Beta or TestFlight, you can provide direct feedback to me via our Matrix group (https://matrix.to/#/#blorp:matrix.org). Even if you don’t join beta, feel free to join Matrix.

Blorp will support PieFed flairs very soon. You can preview what flairs will look like below:

• Visit https://piefed-post-flairs.blorp-6rm.pages.dev/instance?q=crust.piefed.social
• Search for the !movies@piefed.social

Blorp dev here. I also had this idea awhile back that I never built, but basically some preset blocklist you could subscribe to. Sick of US politics? You could just toggle on the US politics blocklist instead of manually adding your own terms, communities, etc. Just an idea, but I’m curious if that appeals to anyone.

Ok, hot take, you can’t judge the bread as a slice by itself. It’s the context around the slice that matters. For example, dry foods can be good when paired with non dry foods. But on their own, I’m not a fan of dry foods. I can see the end of the loaf being good when paired with the right filling. But in the context of a slice of buttered toast, I don’t really want the end of the loaf.

Now that’s a spicy take

Hmm maybe I can add a fallback case that shows all saved posts regardless of sort. I have to see what the performance impact of that would be. Potentially this could be a very bad idea, because I have to scan through all posts in the cache to see which are saved. I’ll run some tests.
