  • Ooof not the Leica. Not sure what model that is, but Leicas cost like $2-8k

  • Thank you for using my silly app :)

  • Blorp dev here. I’ve always said, if you want something right between Bloat and BREXXTODON, Blorp is probably what you’re looking for.

  • I’m feeling very burnt out. Lemmy is kinda an endless stream of political doom and gloom. For context, I’m in the US and already stressed out by our political situation. But I don’t come here to see more doom and gloom. It’s getting to the point where I think I need to get off for my mental health.

    Then there are all the people who if you don’t agree exactly with their opinion they downvote you to hell. You have left leaning politics but not my flavor of left? Downvote! You hate enshitification and big tech privacy practices, but you use a single piece of software that isn’t FOSS? Downvote!

    It’s so exhausting. I absolutely hate Reddit but I miss going on there and just laughing at how someone’s TV is too high. I miss laughing at how some restaurant serves food of shovels instead of plates.

    And that’s not even getting into the lack of content. That part I understand requires users like myself to be as active as possible. But it’s hard being active when I feel so burnt out from the other stuff here.

    Tbh, idk if these issues are specific to Lemmy or just the internet as a whole. I can only speak to the slice of the internet I find myself in. But I just wanna see people that are excited about things: photography, 3d printing, weird keyboards, etc. And that exists here, but it’s drowned out by all the doom and gloom.

  • Blorp dev here. I know on iOS, you can increase text size by changing the OS text scaling. I haven’t tested this on Android or web. Might need a way to manually override it. Any specific examples in the app where the text is too small? Any examples where you’re ok with the text size, for reference? 

  • Probably the RAM

  • Hi! I’m the dev that built Blorp (the link shared above). I desperately need to add better share options, but I am curious how that link is appearing broken to you. Does it say “not found”? Looks like that post doesn’t federate with .world, which Blorp sometimes defaults to (we randomize default instance for fairness).

    If my assessment is correct, I’ve been meaning to add a better error message “this post doesn’t exist on .world, but if you switch to beehaw.org you can view it”.

  • Great catch! While I have you, do you think it would make sense for the "Inbox" bell notification symbol to be a different color when there are reports? Basically pink would mean non urgent notification, and maybe yellow means you have an unread report?

    I'm not a very active mod myself, so I'm looking for feedback from people who need to moderate a lot of posts/comments. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

  • No problem! Forgot to mention, PieFed doesn’t seem to support moderation through the API yet, but they should be adding that soon. For now this is Lemmy only, sorry :(

  • Looks like they do have a toggle for AI generated. I can add a checkbox for that when creating posts via Blorp. I can find some bot posts, and I should be able to create some AI tagged posts for testing. Thanks!

  • Blorp dev here. Could you do me a favor and link some example AI posts and I'll see if I can add a filter for them. I also want to add a toggle to filter out bot posts. I'll do those at the same time.

  • Do you use Matrix? I have a group chat with a couple of the other frontend devs if you wanna join the discussion there. Just DM me on Lemmy/PieFed and I'll add you.

    We setup this GitHub to write the spec, but I haven't made much progress yet. I'm trying to close out a few other features (e.g. post/comment moderation, PieFed feeds, PieFed polls, PieFed events, etc). But I think I'm pretty close to this filter engine being my top priority.

  • I’ve been kicking around this idea for awhile where Blorp has a filter engine. You can define and combine a bunch of rules like post body contains text and community name does not contain. The rules are bundled into a “file” and given a name. E.g. no US politics is a file you can subscribe to. The file can be auto updated if you choose to subscribe to updates. Blorp would come with a bunch of predefined filter files, but you can create and share your own.

    I really think this would be a killer feature, but there is a little complexity in implementing it. I also want to collaborate with Interstellar devs so you can use the same filter files in either app. Anyway, I’ve been procrastinating building this about will take me a couple months.

    But what do you think?

  • Is there a specific instance that’s missing that you want to use? You can input a custom instance durning login in the search input.

    I’m not sure I understand the keyword filters without fully blocking part.

  • Probably Microsoft: copilot, rewrite the taskbar

    The taskbar: I’m only down here now

  • If you use an 3rd party native iOS or Android app, leave them a nice review! Also star any related projects on GitHub or codeberg.

  • Blorp dev here. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to make your PieFed experience even better! I’m launching support for PieFeds multi communities feeds very soon. Stay tuned.

  • Yeah. Most of the modern prerecorded tapes are still crap. Although maybe like 20% of the pre recorded ones sound decent, surprisingly.

    Cassettes were never designed for music, from what I understand. Instead, it was a format that music adopted later. Considering that, cassettes can actually sound really good imo. But I do have the luxury of using type II tapes. Type 1 isn’t bad if you have a really nice deck and a really good recording.

    But isn’t there a whole lot more to this story? I believe cassettes were responsible for getting many underground artists started, who record labels would have never signed. I also heard a story where disregarded tapes set for recycling made their way from USA to other countries. Those tapes influenced music in that country, and they never would have been if they were another format.

    That last point isn’t about audio quality, but it always seemed like cassettes didn’t get the respect they deserved imo.
