Go ahead and try scraping an arbitrary list of sites without an API and let me know how that goes. It would be a constant maintenance headache, especially if you’re talking about anything other than the larger chains that have fairly standardized sites

Because grocery stores don’t make that data accessible to third party developers, otherwise someone would do what you’re suggesting and they’d risk you shopping elsewhere.

Give NixOS a shot. It’s got a learning curve that may be difficult if you’ve never read code, but it’s my preferred immutable setup.

It even has more packages than Arch.

Here’s the video that got me onto it:

I’m really enjoying Otterwiki. Everything is saved as markdown, attachments are next to the markdown files in a folder, and version control is integrated with a git repo. Everything lives in a directory and the application runs from a docker container.

It’s the perfect amount of simplicity and is really just a UI on top of fully portable standard tech.

Then you missed where they dropped an opportunity to show a new screwdriver variant coming to LLTStore.com 🤦

Thank you for this, I don’t normally use twitter but I read some people saying the Threadreader app wasn’t up to date with all the comments.

This situation sucks and was something I would have been willing to see through. But after reading the thread from Madison this morning I’ve decided to cancel my Floatplane subscription. While the accusations she makes are currently accusations, they’re pretty damning and worth taking seriously in case they are more than allegations. I await LMG’s response to her thread, as I feel that will be the deciding factor in whether or not I continue to consume and support anything LMG does going forward.

Salient demonstration, but if image proxying were to come to Lemmy I’d hope it was made optional, as it could overburden smaller instances, especially one-person instances (like mine). We also need a simple integrated way of configuring object storage.

I wrote a few scripts to automate this entire process for me:

If you’re able and willing to self-host, I’ve developed a pretty great system that automates my entire process. The app I’m using on mobile is also available on iOS

Open settings, go to search from the left hand menu, scroll down to the list of search shortcuts and either permanently remove the ones you don’t want, or just click the checkbox next to it and it won’t show up in the address bar.

Also that level of pixelization is easily reversed, better to just black out the parts you don’t want visible.

I welcome any alternatives to the current situation, but unfortunately that’s where we are right now.

The only solution would be a massive effort that requires decades of engineering hours and a few million dollars.

Firefox is actually a bit faster and lighter than Chrome these days. Worth checking out it or it’s forks over Chrome

Lesser of two evils

but if you need me to leave, I can. I get that a lot.

I don’t think OP is suggesting this. It’s simply a reminder to those who have the privilege of having extra income that contributing to the core devs improves the experience for everyone, regardless of their individual ability to contribute.

I’m personally happy to donate if it means everyone gets to continue enjoying the growth of the platform, as the real value of the threadiverse is user activity.

Or install ReVanced and enjoy all of that for nothing, including Sponsorblock

The hype is because Sync was a long standing and well respected client for reddit, that is now available for Lemmy.

For many users this means they can finally try Lemmy through an interface they know from a dev they trust.

I don’t use Sync, or Infinity, but the more the merrier!

Welcome! Here’s a Youtube Short from @[email protected] that I think does a great job of summarizing Lemmy and the Fediverse:

I’m also seeing this take place on the desktop site. The Sync admin can’t really do anything algorithmically as that isn’t supported by the API

He could request top posts in X time frame, like last 4 hours or so and then do manual sorting, but it seems more likely that it’s just an influx of users as a result of the app releasing.

This has nothing to do with rockstar culture and everything to do with the fact that you’re spending 10x the amount of typing complaining about an issue than it would have taken you to just go and fix it and be done with this. So either you don’t want it fixed because you prefer to complain and die on your sword, or you don’t know how to fix it.

Either way I’m done with the conversation. If there is actually an issue I expect someone else who is actually levelheaded and reasonable will identify it and submit a PR. Because that’s how you improve open source software, not by throwing tantrums and making wild assumptions about peoples agendas. Go touch grass or something.
