Don’t take a gift from a German as remedy.

Bold strategy.

Signal doesn’t send anything in the payload. They just use it to wake the phone up and then download all messages that are waiting to be delivered through the usual encrypted means. All Google knows is that something happened at that time. They don’t know anything else.

You can click the eye on top of a feed to switch between seeing and hiding read posts.

But they only instruct Signal to wake up and download whatever is waiting. They don’t contain the message contents.

I regularly encounter images not loading from quock.au. No idea if they’ve got that under control now but that is the most visible issue every instance fights with. Gonna ne great when we have a recommended configuration for Lemmy.

I don’t understand why they don’t use the client side filter-variable in Lemmy UI. It has been available for a while now. It solves a whole bunch of problems. Summit implemented it a few versions ago and it works great. I can hide and unhide posts with the push of a button.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s memes community.

Although the amount of bad punctuation ane emoticons might shift this into shitpost territory.

That’s what the scaled sort is supposed to solve. It pushes up posts that are popular relative to other posts in their communities. So even if they regularly get 0 upvotes they should still show up.

I use the scaled sort on subscribed together with hiding read posts and marking posts as read when I scroll by. That way I usually see the posts made in smaller communities fairly regularly.

Picked up The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav. So far it seems to be a nice little German point & click adventures.

Yes, that’s seriously how cheeses get their holes.

This depends on the server you sign up on. lemmy.world is just one of many. No idea which one doesn’t require an email address. Since you’re already on lemmy.world I’d stay there for a while to get a feel for the other servers out there.

You don’t log into other services you just subscribe to what you want from them.

If you know of a community on a piefed server like !piefed_meta@piefed.social you just search for that community on mander.xyz. If it isn’t known yet to mander you have to wait a little bit for it to fetch it and then you can subscribe to it or just view the newest posts.

If someone else from mander has already subscribed to the community mander will already know about it and have many posts, including comments. If you are the first than mander will only fetch the newest posts.

It works exactly the same way with Lemmy communities.

Honestly, that’s what most web API’s are. You are just pushing data around. The “hard” part is that everyone has their own opinions on how it should be formatted.

And of course the minor inconvenience of having to give the user a way to make data entry easy, convenient and consistent.

But deep down it’s all spreadsheets. The faster you can wrap your head around that the easier programming is for you.

I wanted to have more sausages in my lentil stew but we don’t have any sausages at the moment. So I had to accept the amount of sausages that were already in the can.

I’d like to make a game where it’s your job to use yellow paint to show the hero where to go. You’d have to predict how the level would crumble during the chase sequence. If you did everything correctly you’d get a AAA rating.

Your overall goal is to suck the player’s intelligence up or so.

I’m more concerned about the Umbrella logo.

Did not expect that.

!unexpected@lemmy.ml But there aren’t many posts.

I’ve got a really obscure one.

Anyone here heard about FLI4L? Floppy ISDN for Linux? Built from the ground up to be usable on your really old PC as a router. Originally it fit on a single floppy disc and was able to turn a 386 into a modem or ISDN router. Later they added the ability to route between LANs and DSL.

By now the requirements have been raised to super beefy 586 PCs. It probably doesn’t fit on a floppy disc anymore.
