You can actually fast travel directly to cities, even when you’re in a different system.

I’m actually trying to solve this issue on my own Lemmy app. It automatically switches instances when the requested one is down. Works only in the Feed right now and, of course, accounts are still instance-bound - but I will fix that soon.

I always wonder when people say something like this. I also develop a Lemmy app myself and don’t understand this point, like are you afraid people will complain about your code cleanliness or commenting techniques?

I mean what extra work is there really? Moving secrets to environment variables is annoying, I get that at least.

I mean no offense to you at all, really, but when I check out other Lemmy apps I don’t even bother with closed source ones since I can’t possibly know if you just steal login information. Especially since this is so immensely easy with Lemmy.

Again, I’m not saying you do these things but it’s always better being able to check yourself, you know?

Which App are you using?

Is this a bot?

You could make like a circular shape on the screen with numbers correlating to the speed on different angles. Then maybe add some rectangle which points at the current speed and effectively changes the angle when the speed changes.

Oh wait…

I just wished the Lemmy API docs were better lol.

The people over there are strangely attracted to the propaganda

It’s due to the schools in the DDR. Kids growing up there didn’t learn a lot about Nazis and also didn’t have access to lots of media to teach themselves. Besides they had other problems to deal with.

Then Germany got reunited and one half of the country was completely uneducated about Nazi Germany.

Not to forget most Teachers and professors were still Nazis due to the lack of denazification.

There actually were a number of French nazis in France during German occupation. It’s a topic often disregarded by the countries itself. E.g The Polish government tries to sweep that under the carpet.

I mean there even were Nazis in the US.

Don’t trust the dudes telling you to chmod 777 everything.

I’m a FSE and I use GitHub copilot and Perplexity. I wouldn’t want to code without them anymore.

I want to get things done (especially when I’m at work) and not spent time reading docs or having 20 tabs of stackflow open. I’ve had enough of that lol.

I think everyone here knows copilot but perplexity is a lot smaller and newer. It’s basically like chatgpt but faster and it googles stuff, giving sources for each claim that I can read for myself.

For example, for my latest project I decided to give tailwind a try and instead of having to look through the docs for every little thing I just ask perplexity and it sums it up for me, even giving examples.

And I use copilot a lot for mundane tasks, for example when I write an API that takes an object of type Foo, Copilot auto Fills making variables and checking each for nulls and then I use that API in the frontend copilot already knows what I’m about to do and auto-fills the fetch.

Nice.

Ah, yes the classic. The Lemmy dev team really forgot to set CORS headers on an API lmao. Hope they fix that soon.

Yeah, it’s a web app. I route all requests through my own backend, so it’s server-server communication between Nemmy and any Lemmy instance, circumventing CORS by design.

Are you sure the CORS settings are messed up? I tried reaching the API a couple of times from my frontend for debugging and got errors due to authentication security. Are you referring to that or something else?

That’s probably the cbat dude after his gf left him.

I’d think it would feel bad having to lie about the music you listen to. Maybe music man is already past denial and in acceptance, just not telling anyone.

But perhaps they’re just a douche.

I think at some point I’m just going to accept that I can’t detect all image types and call that a feature lmao

Yes, from what I’ve seen there are a some people who are concerned about others impersonating them on other instances.

Figuring out if two posts are identical is going to be a challenge

I think I could deal with duplicates pretty easily by checking if different properties of the post are identical, the more are the less likely it is that the post will be shown.

I think a bigger problem is the comments. What if a user reposts a post from r/astronomy on lemmy.world to c/astronomy on lemmy.ml? Which one do we show, and what do we do with the comments of the other? Merge them together, or just leave them? Maybe show a button on the post when there’s a duplicate und the user can switch instances?

Lots of figuring out to do, but it sounds fun!

Edit: The Group-by-Hashtag thing is also a good idea! That would of course make the whole thing less of a headache, but to make that work a lot of users need to do that.

Yes, very good idea! When users create a group, they can select keywords to search for and then the App could make a best guess and then show a list to the user where they can select the ones they want or don’t want in the group.
