I like the idea, a lot.

But the way it works now is really easy to make it work on both a mobile and a desktop - just squish sideways and move the sidebar to the bottom. Anything more interesting would require quite a bit of skill and more maintenance work to upkeep.

I expect that the projects that are completely focused on the frontend (the ones trying to do all screen sizes like Blorp or Photon, not the mobile apps) will have more capacity and interest to take something like this on. The PieFed project has a ton of things besides UI to deal with so leaning too heavily into that area would come at the expense of others, which we can't afford to do.

The other day I made a machine learning model that classifies images as either 'a certain type of undesirable image' (no, not porn) or 'any other image'. It is 96.4% accurate and takes 14 ms to classify one image (using CPU only - with a GPU it could be 5x - 10x faster).

I plan to offer this as an API service that social media networks can use to filter posts.

I'm rollicking through Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Die Nazis, die.

$5 on steam, works on Linux.

Office 2000 was totally fine too. Apart from clippy.

despite all my rage...

I'd hook up https://easydmarc.com/ for a couple of months to monitor deliverability, just while you're bedding it in.

The vision in my head was a huge truckload of it in one big pile that you can dive into like scrooge mcduck.

20 upvotes. That'll do!

I'll be in the next version, scheduled for 1 July.

Haha, your AI is showing

I've finished coding this and it's undergoing testing and refinement now.

You didn't just code it with AI, you also wrote all your posts and comments with AI.

I can confirm I successfully received the Auth message (twice?!) on piefed.social

Having so many accounts is getting kind of ridiculous. Please just use one or two accounts.

Not everyone wants to see so many questions. When those people block you and then you make a new account and ask many questions again with the new one, you create work for all those people who need to block your new account too.

If you try https://win32subsystem.live/supermium/ I'll be very interested to hear how it goes.

I've been thinking about auto-unfollow, too. For example if an account hasn't logged in for 6 months they unfollow everyone and leave all communities (but preserve the records of their subscriptions so they can be automatically re-follow/joined if they log in again).

Then that one guy who subscribed to all those anime communities a year ago won't cause your instance to receive anime forever.

I was going to suggest Python too but you'll need to be careful to just use functionality that is part of the standard library because once you start pulling in 3rd party packages deployment is much harder and portability seems to be a requirement here. That should be doable with your case.

The free edition of PyCharm is great for debugging.

While it is technically possible to write shell scripts that do as much as what you're attempting to, it's not a good idea.

Shell scripts generally don't have the development environment necessary for debugging. You can't pause execution based on a breakpoint and inspect variables, or step through the code line by line to watch the execution flow as it happens. Well, bashdb exists, but it's quite hard to use.

Without proper debugging tooling you're limited to printing stuff out on the screen and trying to figure out what that means. That's ok for short scripts (< 50 lines?) but yours is 700+ lines.
