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?
pretty sure they’re back as of like yesterday
Where are you finding low risk investments with that much interest? Genuine question. Maybe I should shop around more. I would expect closer to 3.5-4%.
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.
the correct answer was vim, but I’ll allow it
Do it then. Replace the app with pen and paper. I think the app is calling your bluff.
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.
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.
My eyes enjoyed your comment.
Coming in the next update!
Is that a positive or negative reaction? lol
LOL. Reminds me of this
Appriciate you taking the time to try it! If you have time time, could you right click and "inspect element”? Then go to “console”. If possible could you paste everything in console in a DM to me? If you dont see “inspect element” as an option, then there is probably something else going on.
This sounds like it might be an issue with the app itself, not BigSur. Might be able to get it fixed easily.
Hold up. Projects exist outside of software?
