Just a few weeks I’m sure

I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.
I think the better question is why didn’t everyone else choose wisely by picking lemm.ee? /s
But for real, it’s just like the Jeep wave. See someone else on your instance in the wild? Say hello to each other and say you’re the best instance! Maybe the wave wasn’t the best comparison, but I have a Jeep so I was contractually forced to say so. I think that’s how it works anyway.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
Yeah that sucks. I really liked using them for quick clips of videos I took. Booooooo
Oh I did that too
Glad fizzbuzz doesn’t fit into the gibberish category
Boost hasn’t failed me yet, but aside from checking to see if it’s down, I’m being careful and popping away without browsing. I don’t want the dev to get slammed with more API fees because of me.
Commenting because I’d love to know the same.
Yeah, at my company we switched to allow/block listed last year. Whitelisted and blacklisted are verboten
As another dev here, I have barely used a PC/laptop outside of work in years. I got a gaming PC like 2 years back and don’t use it much. But every time I get the hankering for some personal dev project and have to mess with the registry I cry inside. I really need to just ditch it for Linux entirely. I’m so much more comfortable on Linux. You might just convince me to bite the bullet and remove it entirely since 90% of my gaming is on steamdeck anyway.
It was! Posting this from my fold-4 as we speak. I’m loving the app so far. Great job on this!
That was not a fun week to be a developer.
Had GPT summarize what happened.
The “left pad” incident refers to a controversy that arose in 2016 when a developer named Azer Koçulu removed his JavaScript package called “left-pad” from the NPM (Node Package Manager) registry. This caused a ripple effect, breaking numerous projects that relied on this package and highlighting the potential risks of relying on external dependencies. The incident sparked a debate about the stability and trustworthiness of the open-source ecosystem and led to discussions about best practices for managing dependencies in software development.
1000% agree. This is how it should be done. And not hidden away somewhere deep. There are legit reasons for in depth tracking, but when used for advertising or something other than improving the user’s experience, count me out.
Where do I join?
It’d be a “vulnerability” of anything public. There’s nothing stopping me from building a bot that pulls posts/threads from any instance and storing all the comments, their owners, the posts and their owners, yadda yadda.
I suspect the up/downvotes are “private” but on any instance, the owners will have access to that. I can’t imagine all the data is encrypted at rest by default. But, don’t take my word on that as I haven’t read any of the specs. But, I’m pretty sure we’re just looking at the protocol, not the implementation with regards to how a federated instance works.
So, same precautions as anywhere else really. Your data that’s public WILL be tracked by someone and Meta is a damn likely culprit who absolutely would do that. I’m a total privacy nerd myself, but you’d be amazed at the things I want to track at work related to what/how/why people use the tools I work on. Granted, it’s 100% exclusively used to improve user experience, weed out bugs, and see what is used most frequently to focus on that stuff. But if it can be tracked, somebody is tracking it.
Am a developer, and there’s a few patterns to make this sort of thing easier, but Lemmy/kbin is pretty different than the reddit APIs as I understand it with the federation aspects, so swapping wouldn’t be THAT easy. Doable, but not a drop in replacement.
John Oliver poses for sexy pics then they get posted on /r/pics I’d wager
Wait. You’re telling me I can connect home assistant to my printer in since way… I’ve been missing out.
