  • I don’t daily drive Linux (though I use Tmux and Vim 8 hours a day if that counts for anything) so take this with a grain of salt. Would those companies jumping to Linux really be a problem? Steam is embracing Linux and it seems like it’s legitimized Linux gaming in a way that people never thought was possible. I hate Adobe, but how would Photoshop Linux edition prevent you from using open source alternatives?

  • Add two eggs

  • To be fair, we should probably all start migrating to cybersecurity positions. They’ll need it when they discover how many vulnerabilities were created by all the non-programmers vibe coding.

  • I really think the issue would be load on server bandwidth (depending who’s hosting the image). 2mb is not good for client performance, but in the grand scheme of things it’s not that much data. Video streaming consumes so much more. I would like to see smaller images so clients can load a feed of images faster. It’s also annoying because Lemmy doesn’t always tell you the size of the images. So the height of posts will shift in your feed as images are loaded.

  • lemmy shouldn’t require posters to compress their own images. Compression should happen automatically. It will save both the severs and end users bandwidth

  • Is that true? I know threads can federate with activity pub but 1) does opt in federation imply it’s somehow different than other activity pub based apps and 2) it can federate with mastodon but it’s not based on mastodons itself? I’m asking

    Truth social, if that’s true, I had no idea it was AP, but I really hope nobody ever federates with them.

  • Ooo love the podcast but I missed that episode. I’ll check it out!

  • Wait, you’re telling me he was not the chief engineer of space x whole simultaneously being the world champion at a video game?

  • Lol. While I was building my app I didn’t have a name for the first month. Then I came up with Blorp and my gf was like “yeahhh keep working on the name”. My thought process is that it’s most important that the name stick in your head so when your friend is like “I’m using Blorp” later when you go to download it, you remember the name. I’m also not a fan of Lemmy’s mouse branding. So I wanted a name that sticks in your brain and to ditch the typical Lemmy branding.

    But if someone comes up with a better name, I’ll consider it. Naming things is hard lol.

  • For me its 50% because it seems the accept new users the fastest (from my very unscientific test) and 50% because Voyager does it so it must be the right way lol. Initially I had it randomizing between the most popular instaces, but I decided to simplify it and have it default to lemm.ee. I don’t feel that strongly. If someone presented a good argument for why I should change it, I would consider it.

  • I think you can also report it to Google. Enough reports, and their email will automatically be flagged as spam. You can write them a nice email explaining how their absence of an unsubscribe button will ultimately hurt them when Gmail cuts them off from its users.

  • The web version is also available! If you try it, feel free to submit any bugs through GitHub (linked in setting tab).

  • Thank you! Would love for you to joing the beta, either iOS or macOS for now. I will be rolling out other platforms based on demand, but I really need some early user feedback to help focus the work I do.

  • You should probably take a second edible just to be sure

  • Are they a relatively ethical company? Genuinely curious
