  • Why I started Sublinks: A timeline of events

    Jump

  • There was a fair amount specifically upset that the creators had not decided to focus their efforts on contributing to lemmy directly. I personally think that's silly as it's not hard to find folks who've tried and had a terrible experience.

  • Sublinks Aims to Be a Drop-In Replacement for Lemmy

    Jump

  • This is not hobby software, this is public good software. They are paid in large part by grants

  • GNOME Network Displays Adds Support For Chromecast & Miracast MICE Protocols

    Jump

  • Might just be one of those closed dependencies they have you opt into at install time

  • [chromeos] chromeos with crostini :3

    Jump

  • If you want a cheap tablet

    Man they're alright but I picked up this guy on sale for $300 and the surfaces don't even come close to that sort of value.

  • Some things that seem hard to argue with:

    • A mod panel with things like 'add moderator' (maybe this could be attached to the new moderator view?)
    • Targeted reports (choose who receives it; admin/moderator)
    • Moderation actions on jerboa
    • Moderator edits. There's a fine line here and I can understand why you wouldn't want total edit capabilities but it'd be nice to at least be able to do things like mark as nsfw and add content warnings. This sort of feature should also probably target megathreads
    • Private communities (I know local only communities are in the works but there's a whole mess of other criteria that would be useful)

    My own personal wishlist:

    • Karma requirements
    • First class wikis
    • Hashtags (I actually think a super simple stopgap solution here is to just have them link to the appropriate search page)
    • Flairs

    There's some other stuff that I have seen PRs for and I do understand y'all are working hard. I appreciate the work you've done so far and the communities you've helped build. The Internet is undoubtedly a better place for it.

  • Do you have a touchscreen by chance? I've really been wanting to try this but my chromebook is a 2-in-1 and I love using it as a tablet.

    Jump

  • I have and if I'm honest I'm probably a little bit too harsh. I think the bigger issue is honestly the priorities of the dev team. There's good reason that this project is focussing on moderation tooling.

  • Lemmy had 4 years of development to iron out bugs

    Lemmy had 4 years to accrue technical debt and make foot-guns first-class features. A rewrite is probably exactly what it needs.

    Jump

  • I think how quickly this project has gotten to near feature parity is a testament to how slow Lemmy development has been. Think about scaled sort (a feature that has been hotly requested since the migration) and how long that took to get merged in. A sort should not by any means be slow to implement.

  • Announcement of Sublinks

    Jump

  • Honestly this doesn't really seem like a project targeting users (at least not at this stage). This seems like something an admin would be more interested in

  • Apple Vision Pro failed to sell out on launch day

    Jump

  • From what I hear these are surprisingly close and some idiot is absolutely gonna try to drive in them. Given that I bet we'll be there in just a couple of iterations

  • Apple Vision Pro failed to sell out on launch day

    Jump

  • Pretty sure it's because the title is wildly misleading. They moved the release window to accommodate additional demand. They absolutely sold out of what they had originally intended on manufacturing.

  • Apple Vision Pro failed to sell out on launch day

    Jump

  • Yeah pretty sure the only reason they "didn't sell out" was because they moved the release window to accommodate the extra demand. For all intents and purposes, this product sold out.

  • Own a Roku TV or streaming device? You're about to see a lot more ads on your home screen

    Jump

  • I've used it daily and never had a problem. What did you experience?

  • Extreme cold still happens in a warming world – in fact climate instability may be disrupting the polar vortex

    Jump

  • Thing is, it's really not that cold. We've just forgotten how to deal with it.

    Granted the cold seems to be making it a lot farther south, but for most people this used to be normal.

  • Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months?

    Jump

  • Worth noting, the number of people who come here "to escape authoritarian moderators". Nearly all of them were moderated for good reason.

    I also don't think the presence of places like hexbear are doing us any favors.

  • Egg Sando

    Jump

  • Honestly curious. Been looking for a good breakfast sauce

  • HA compatible sensors for a terrarium?

    Jump

  • I feel like your best bet is ESPHome and the ESP family of devices. Last time I checked you could get the parts for a project like this off Amazon (with spare parts) for under 20$.

  • What’s next for Mozilla?

    Jump

  • Hell I think there's a solid argument to be made that it's not even a sustainable model for the biggest players. As it stands they're offering remarkably little functionality for how much it costs them. On the other hand, mozillas work in this space up until now has largely been on bringing previously unimaginable functionality to locally hosted open source models and datasets. And that does look to be a sustainable business model.
