  • [AskLemmy Meta]: Should bot posts be banned in AskLemmy.world?

    Jump

  • You shouldn't need to - your instance admins should ban them.

    Upvote for YES, Downvote for NO.

  • Mastodon Crosspost Issues/Suggestions/Feedback

    Jump

  • Could be...

    Or, maybe just create a new link post which links to the Mastodon post. Then PieFed will embed the mastodon post in the UI and it'll be fully functional with all it's replies, playable video, photo galleries, etc.

  • Mastodon Crosspost Issues/Suggestions/Feedback

    Jump

  • Thanks for experimenting with this.

    The Mastodon integration is under active development at the moment - there will be a major release bringing lots of improvements in the next few days. So far there's nothing new that addresses cross-posting but I'm sure it will need attention soon.

    It's probably going to be a bit janky because Lemmy and PieFed share posts using markdown whereas Mastodon only gives us HTML. So unless I think of something better we'll be converting their HTML into Markdown, which is going to be very messy.

  • Is Python really that useless?

    Jump

  • This is your second post about this and you got the same response last time.

    Try a third post, maybe it'll go differently next time.

  • How to get non technical friends in the fediverse?

    Jump

  • They should switch BECAUSE they're addicted to the algorithm :D

    Maybe start a discussion about how being addicted to Instagram isn't a great use of time and recommend Pixelfed as a less addictive alternative.

  • How to get non technical friends in the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Keep it really simple. Don't talk about federation or how it works under the hood. Just say something like "hey I see you like Instagram - try Pixelfed I think you'll like it. It's in the app store".

    Don't get them to try to find the perfect pixelfed instance, just use the default main one. They can move later if it clicks for them.

  • Recommendations for opensource Jetbrains equivalents?

    Jump

  • I don't know of any other IDE maker that has the depth and quality of language support that JetBrains offers.

    Honestly, throwing your toys over a modal commit dialog seems a bit misguided when switching to any other IDE is going to involve coping with much bigger changes.

    You have the option of using an old version if the newer ones aren't to your style. I'm still on the 2023 version of PyCharm, for instance. And the 2020 version of PhpStorm, haha

  • I've been having a sort of "midlife crisis" and I don't know where to go from here. I don't know what I want in life. Would appreciate some perspective/advice.

    Jump

  • Seven (7) heart attacks?? Jeez

    Thanks for sharing your perspective, I enjoyed reading it.

  • Barack Obama tan suit controversy

    Jump

  • I'm so sick of people who wear suits. In general.

  • Pepper&Carrot

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the same author does all the graphics for Framasoft, makers of PeerTube and Mobilizon.

  • How do you arrive at your political beliefs?

    Jump

  • It comes down to values. Each political position is really just an intellectual rationalization for a set of values.

    When you find a political philosophy that makes sense, it'll be because the values embedded in it align with yours. (Not because it really is objectively true or correct, although it may seem that way).

    Conversely when you see a politician saying the dumbest shit you've ever heard, they probably have different values than yours.

    If you don't know what's important in life, you'll get politically pulled this way and that without settling anywhere for long. Values become clearer with experience.

  • The robot they're trying to make vs the robot the people want

  • What Piefed client in Android support community moderation and all types of notifications?

  • Try Blorp

  • Brain scans reveal widespread structural and functional changes in patients following COVID-19 infection

    Jump

  • Same.

    Feels like I can't afford to get that much dumber again, next time I'm infected.

  • What are you doing this weekend?

    Jump

  • Yeah a little bit of coding

    Here and there.

    A couple of lines probably.

  • Trans-friendly PieFed features

    Jump

  • Ok, that sounds fun. I'll make it so.

  • PieFed v1.7 is released: Following People, Faster Browsing & Smarter Moderation

    Jump

  • That's it. I didn't realise it was gone...

    Ok, so that opens up a niche for PieFed.

    I've wanted to code that feature for years but there's always been a Lemmy instance with a bot that does it. Now that there isn't, that raises the priority of the feature.
