Also PieFed can import those exports that Lemmy makes.

So much whataboutism in the comments

Totally negligent on behalf of OpenAI to let this thing into their store. Let's see if they take it down now that the spotlight is on.

Yeah I think it'd be worth getting the voting buttons working, those are pretty key functionality.

The icons being stored in a font is kinda problematic (some browsers choke, large font file) but on the other hand it's so great being able to set the color of them in CSS, which I found difficult when they are a SVG.

Love it, thanks!

In https://piefed.social/user/settings there are two different compact modes to choose from, which shrink the images to varying degrees.

I don't know of any way to determine how JS-heavy a link is.

Voting, lol. Kinda important.

Dropdown menus. They're not really needed but life sucks without them.

Can't manually switch between dark and light mode (only automatically based on browser settings).

There's probably more but I haven't seriously tried to use PieFed for long without JS. Fundamentally it's built HTML and CSS first, with sprinkles of JS added on for funsies rather than the modern way of being all about JS.

Yes.

PieFed uses very minimal javascript (it 95% works with JS entirely disabled) and you can access all the same communities and posts.

My previous phone was chosen specifically because it had an easily replaceable battery. However by the time I needed to replace it the manufacturer (Samsung) had stopped making those batteries and the only ones available were fake ones on Amazon that didn't hold a charge. Meh.

As well as flair on posts, people can use flair on themselves in the comments, to indicate what their expertise or experience is, etc.

Check out Big Blue Button - https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/

Their website talks all about using it for teaching students but it's really just like Jitsi with more features.

The things I paid attention to was

USB3 - you need this otherwise connecting external drives will be a joke Motherboard needs to accept up to 32 GB of RAM. Mine currently has only 8 but knowing I can upgrade is nice.
Quiet - must be silent when idle.
CPUs of less than 8th? gen will suck at video transcoding due to lacking certain capabilities. Important if running jellyfin, etc.

The beauty of self hosting is it's all about your individual circumstances so you priorities and acceptable tradeoffs will differ.

That's not a deal that's an agreement on the pre-conditions necessary to begin talking about a deal.

It's hardcore

Much better to add features to your software that make it unusable in totalitarian situations.

For example

• if you're building a reddit clone, make each subreddit elect their moderators every few months.
• Maybe ask How fat is Kim Jon Un during installation.
• Display the text "Taiwan is not a part of China" in the status bar, randomly

...and so on. The possibilities are endless.

If you don't want to see it, you're not going to.

I'm sure another round of tax cuts will fix it.

This won't fool the insurance companies. They're the ones on the hook for this.
