  • Yes, that’s exactly what I do when I rename lol

  • Most of my frustration comes from combining cases insensitive folders/files with git and then running my code on another machine. If you aren’t coding where you have hundreds of files that import other files, I could see this being a non issues.

  • On Mac when I rename a folder from “FOO” to “foo” git sees them as the same folder so no change is committed. In JavaScript I import a file from “foo” so locally that works. Commit my code and someone else pulls in my changes on their machine. But on their machine the folder is still “FOO” so importing from “foo” doesn’t work.

  • …and whoever decided a file system should be case insensitive by default, I hate you.

  • I’m sold! I’m going to subscribe for a month and try it out.

  • Dropout.tv was created by college human right? Idk if their old videos would hold up today, but I remember liking their content. Nice to know they’re still around.

  • Tbh I dont use it enough, but I love that’s it no ads like you said. Also feels good to support creators instead of Google. I’ll check out the originals!

  • Not a fediverse thing, but I pay $5 a month for nebula. I think it’s worth it to support creators. And I believe the whole “if you’re not paying for something you’re the product”. Though you can still be the product even if you do pay.

  • I won a robot R2D2 in a raffle. This was like over 10 years ago. It had voice commands, and somehow understood me better than Siri.

  • Lemmy isn’t.

  • No idea, but good to know. I’ll consider switching my next contribution to a different service. Thanks!

  • I went with Patreon. The CEO seems like a cool guy that just wants to support other creatives. Hope he’s actually as cool as he comes across.

  • Btw, you can also donate on Patreon, OpenCollective, and Liberapay.

  • This is what I get. Not as bad but still bad lol

  • I know this is the wrong thing to focus on, but federated social media is really lacking sex appeal. Like the technology powering it is so cool, but many of the clients (especially the defaults) are ugly.

    I’m not saying form over function, but I find well-designed + functional apps really enjoyable to use. I want to be the solution. I’m writing my own Lemmy client and I really hope I can deliver on the sex appeal in addition to an amazing user experience.

  • Yeah I’m guilty of that. I posted to Reddit today, but not Lemmy. I’ve been telling my friends to switch to federated social media, but I still find myself slipping back to Reddit. Not because I like Reddit better but because they have more content or I already know where to look for specific content. But I’m going to try and post more. Thanks for the reminder!

  • Blorp lol. Don’t ask about the name. Very much a work in progress, but I’m aiming for a public beta in 2ish months. Though I know it’s very likely I’ll be the only one that uses it.

    As an Android/iOS app, Blorp will cache the data (and optionally images) offline. So any feeds/posts that are already loaded you will be able to read offline.

    Right now that’s the biggest feature setting me apart from Voyager, but I want to keep iterating and improving.

    This is the website version, which admittedly is a bit more clunky than the iOS/Android app. https://blorpblorp.xyz/

  • Yeah I’m curious too! What technical sorcery is OP doing for presumably free API access
