Some of nano’s work might be worth a browse:
Other random choices:
Although to my ear you like JP rock/pop. Nothing wrong with that really – regional differences exist even within the same overall genre of music.
Google gained control of the web by populating the world with Chrome/Chromium and wants to strong arm the web as a whole through it. Climbing the ladder and pulling it up from underneath them, with their fisted approach to Manifest V3 the beginning salvo.
For Google it’s just another day in the office.
As long as websites/advertisers see their visitors as using a Chromium based browser they will continue to target for Chromium, regardless of whatever front facing UI is used.
The inherent problem is Google has an outsized voice in Chromium’s developmental trajectory, and any major changes to Chromium will have downstream impacts, whether in actual implemented feature sets or forks making continued modifications on top.
The best way to protest is to not use a Chromium browser. Switching from Chrome to another Chromium browser is at best a side grade; everyone using Chromium is subject to Google’s whimsy.
Pragmatically it doesn’t matter if Microsoft chooses not to implement it; as long as Edge is on Chromium, Google can leverage this to continue to bully the web to their own devices.
For the time being the bot account flag is voluntary anyway, so there’s nothing stopping a repost bot from not indicating they are one.
Block and move on is the most straightforward solution at the moment.
I’m 100% sympathetic to the “I want to not eat out but it’s a chore to cook”.
Ovens, pressure cookers, and rice cookers are absolutely wonderful because of how set and check back later they are.
Dressing up even simple foods like ramen with blanched leafy vegetables, poached eggs and some ham is fun.
Furikake is a great way to add a bit of flavoring to white rice. Alternatively some soy sauce and sesame oil are both good pairings for rice and ramen as appropriate.
Wraps can be fun too and may be a nice alternative to bread.
Frozen vegetables and frozen fruit in smoothies are considerable replacements. Alternatives include looking into sandwiches or wraps using stuff you can reasonably expect to consume in a reasonable amount of time. Could also consider throwing stuff into the oven (oven roasted root vegetables or broccoli/cauliflower and a rice cooker can make a decent meal with very little active cooking and more just watching the clock).
A pressure cooker is also a nice idea along that vein (dump everything in, leave it and come back to some chilli in a few hours).
From my PoV it’s probably many of these projects are effectively public good spaces. Hosting a code repository has become less of an esoteric thing and turning into a public good benefit (like a physical library but virtual for code). Spaces like Reddit and Twitter are todays analogous of a public discussion forum in a park or at a bar.
Internet tools have become so ubiquitous they are critical to serve public needs and public benefits. However these internet spaces are increasingly commercialized and privatized, which runs against them being valuable public goods (see the difference between Wikipedia, run primarily for public benefit, and Wikia/Fandom).
Take notes on paper with fountain pen, take a picture, OCR it, shred the paper.
Otherwise there’s literally nothing special about using a fountain pen for any task a pen can do (other than situations involving particular kinds of paper, like carbon paper or thin scratch pads).
If the convenience of doing notes digitally works better for you, then it is. You can still take out a fountain pen for a variety of other tasks (writing letters, calligraphy work for greeting cards), or recognize that for the time being there’s little in your life that a fountain pen fills practically and just enjoy using one as a hobby
I do not as this is not my expertise. In general though, reaching out to specialty academic/medical units are usually a great first step for pursuing something particularly esoteric.
A number of instances defederated from it because… well, the reason a number of people are here is to not be on Reddit and seeing a mass deluge of content ported from Reddit defeats that purpose. There other other reasons too, like the fact it makes a ton of submissions and each has very few if no comments leading to the impression of a very barren community.
Omg yes!
Stop asking all the trite personality questions that everyone in the conversation knows is a prepared answer to a prepared question. There is absolutely no sincerity and honesty involved, which absolutely defeats the purpose.
Unless you have a super compelling reason to get sequenced, do not use direct to consumer sequencing services or offerings. In general it’s not so much the tech or whatnot that is bad, but rather without being in a position to determine if you have some genetic, prospective genetic screening isn’t ideal.
If you feel you have a good reason to be sequenced (eg family history of a kind of cancer, particularly breast and colon), seek out a genetics consult with a genetic counsellor or geneticist at a major hospital or academic center.
This comment isn’t to constitute any kind of medical advice. Rather, you are much better served getting sequenced done well.
Yep lemmy.world is live (stress) testing in production. It has its benefits, like when a set of patches were committed to vastly improve performance that was a big problem on a huge instance like lemmy.world but not on the smaller ones, and its downsides with all the random issues that pop up which happen when testing live in production.
Double check your sort options. For example, if you are a community page in Memmy, select “Top six hours” as your sort option, and there are no submissions in the last six hours, you will not see any submissions.
Since memmy mostly keeps your sort options through views, it’s easy to miss this detail.
Yep, notwithstanding the poor tooling on Reddit’s end. I don’t even think the developer portal was fully functional and ready for production use when the pricing was announced. In fact, Christian had to implement his own API tracking back-end to get a good picture of how many API calls Apollo was making because this information wasn’t readily and transparently available from Reddit’s developer tools.
Imagine charging for an API but not making it easy for your collaborating developers to know how much of the API they are using and will therefore be billed for.
Generally speaking, responsible stewardship of a service involves a tail of wind-down and end of life support. It gives time for people to adjust to new services and/or set-ups, troubleshoot the transitions, and provide some lingering support while the service is deprecated.
As another example, Christian was willing to try to find a way to make Reddit’s new API pricing work, but would likely need a good amount of time (say, maybe 6-8~ months of notice) to be able to refactor the application to minimize API calls, trial out new subscription tiers, and figure out what to do for the lifetime users. Instead, he got 30~ days of advance notice after repeated promises that the pricing would not be like Twitter (a lie) and/or no major changes to the API in 2023 (also a lie).
At the end of the day, the people leading these efforts want to end on a good note so they can point to their work as an example of their skills for future opportunities. It is not a good look, where in the face of a belligerent collaborator (i.e. Reddit leadership), one responds in a belligerent manner. Even if Reddit leadership is well deserving of scorn, responding in kind does not create a great professional image.
BotDefense (and many other third party tools) for Reddit were built for its community members, not for Reddit the corporation, which is to say the “client” here are Reddit moderators and community members. In that regard, the developers are adopting good practices for their primary clientele.
Yea I get that. I was being facetious with my comment.
I wonder if he feels people have ripped off his hard work? There are direct clones of his app.
In the software world this is to be expected once one puts out something that has any significant reach. “Copycatting” is aplenty, either for malicious reasons or merely as a tribute. Getting hung up on it is a great way to barrel down a endless pit of whack-a-mole. It’s ok to express a bit of disdain for it in some regards, but at the end of the day trying to intervene aggressively only leads to more pain and grief IMO.
A lot of people are taking what was learned in putting together Apollo’s UI/UX and adjusting them into new tools and applications for a new environment. It’s part and parcel of software in general. In the next few years we might look back and wonder why we even considered an Apollo for Lemmy to begin with given the trajectory of current development. And there is much to be said about continued longevity given the preference for open source paradigms of currently popular Lemmy apps.
Time will tell, I think, even if many of us around here are all eager to put Lemmy and this entire ecosystem into a time dilation bubble so multiple years of development can happen in a single day.

Too early to tell what set of tropes and typical story arcs it’ll go through, but it works well as an establishing point.
Exactly. The colossal lost of trust is not easy to regain (if it can ever be regained at all) and that’s will be a specter haunting Unity’s economic performance for the years to come. I’ve seen so much outpouring of support for Godot and other open source / free game engines, and really hope that support continues.
