That’s strange. Please let me know what you find out.

This is a great idea, thank you!

I had issues searching for Lemmy communities until I updated my docker-compose to give the “lemmy” container it’s own network.

Here’s a post on Mastodon that links to their blog where they describe different clients.

I haven’t experienced any crashes. I’m just getting annoyed with it resetting the view when I rotate my phone by accident. It takes me back to Local and changes my filter back to default. Painful.

How does this work with the code license? If this is all fine, doesn’t this mean that we should be avoiding the kind of license they’re using in the future?

Thanks!

This is awesome! Thank you!

I have a lot of interest in software development (and the Rust programming language specifically). Any plans to add a software development community? I don’t know of any feeds, though.

My first programming language was QBasic, then Visual Basic, then Java, then C# (most experience with), then C++, then Python, and now Rust. Only when I learned C++ in college did I truly grasp the power of memory management. I think it’s important for new programmers to have some understanding of and experience with pointers, but it doesn’t need to be your first language. I think it’s okay to start with Python or C#, but you’ll want to go back and learn the hard stuff at some point (C++ and then Rust). Python will be super easy to learn the basics (data structures, algorithms, etc.). C# is also a good choice, but has you learning a few more things at the same time you’re trying to learn the basics.

They share a genealogy, but as programs are created and maintained in different languages, developers come to wish for different syntaxes that would (1) reduce how much code must be written to accomplish a common logical task, (2) make the code that’s written easier to read/understand, (3) reduce concerns about variable types until runtime, and/or (4) overly restrict not just the variable types but also if/when variables can be modified. This list is not exhaustive.

There is a partial programming language family tree here, showing which languages influenced other languages: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Genealogy-of-Programming-Languages_fig36_260447599

I don’t miss the endless commercials.

Maybe that’s what I should do. I’ve just recently moved back to VS Code from Neovim due to my constant issues with the LSP I was using. I would open a file, make some changes, and then return to the file tree along with a bunch of LSP warnings (as if the file tree was a file). LazyVim sounds like exactly what I want, if the name is accurate.

“Buying up Bethesda and trying to acquire Activision Blizzard is, Spencer argues, a way to compete with Sony.”

This has the same logic as buying up the largest gasoline chains, making them exclusively pump gas for drivers of your cars, as a way of competing with other car manufacturers. Dangerous.

Why are so few people using Tampermonkey? It’s so useful. Is there an alternative that I don’t know about?

I was surprised at how beautiful some of the art could be. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I do.

So is Meta just not going to display/embed news in Canada anymore or is this a temporary measure until they roll out their plan to pay publishers?

“then it doesn’t deserve to exist”

When I hear that, I hear an implicit value judgement with Meta as the standard. The value of an instance is in if it can survive against a social aggregation to Meta’s instance. Only then is it worthy of existing, if it can compete with the degree of funding, advertising, and account creation streamlining that we would expect from a social media platform giant.

When I hear that, I hear that small, self-hosted instances don’t deserve to exist.

I had to work out all of the issues myself to get it working on my RaspberryPi 4. For this error, did you add a network to your “lemmy” container that would allow it access to the internet?

I’m still using 0.17.3, btw. I haven’t checked if 0.17.4 for arm64 is out yet.

That’s an interesting attack vector. Thanks for the insight.

Passwords “should” be hashed anyway, so I don’t understand why there’s a limit. Are they actually being stored as plaintext in a VARCHAR(60) column in the database? Please tell me that’s not happening.

As a backend developer you’re not doing anything with “looks”. No interface design, HTML CSS, or anything like that.

The most common backend work involves the following:

• ETL process creation
• proprietary API maintenance
• third-party API integration
• Database data manipulation

I enjoy it. It feels like I’m designing special wires that connect different computers together. It can be repetitive if you’re not designing your code to be extendable. If you’re writing the ideal code, you’re always writing new stuff. If you’re just copy-pasting from other examples, that should indicate that there is a general solution that’s being ignored.

I used to have a phone with a replaceable battery and it was awesome. I would charge the other battery while using the phone all day, carefree. When it was about to die, I’d swap out the battery. It was basically like I had an instant charge of 100% on my phone. Those were good days.
