If you have a kindle you can hack it and load PDFs onto it. The koreader is better anyway.

That’s why you only smoke weed 😎

Slavery was never made fully illegal in the US. And if you vaguely define some crimes like “loitering” you can easily arrest people you disagree with.

I don’t think this will work within the context of a feed of posts. You would have to make at least 1 additional comment for every post in the feed to fetch the comments for a post. So if you fetch a feed of 50 posts, you will have to make 51 requests. If a post has too many comments to fetch in one page, you will have to iterate through all the pages until you have all the comments. So it’s actually >=51 requests. Though I suspect you could get a good idea of a posts comments by fetching just the first page of comments.

PieFed seems to have tags, but I’m not exactly sure how they work. But that might be a better place to start.

But where do you store the computed tag? I guess you could hack it by having a bot that comments the computed post tags on the post itself, but that’s messy.

There are also many Lemmy instances that are intentionally blocking VPNs because they have to to stay afloat.

Idk, but a lot of Lemmy instances also don’t play nice with VPNs. Some of them are using Cloudflare, but idk if all the ones blocking VPNs are the ones using Cloudflare. But bot traffic is a big problem, and Cloudflare poses a solution to that. It’s not the ony solution, but it is a pretty good one.

You can’t really have a free social media network and not have it block VPNs. At least not with large public instances.

I like Untruth Social lol

I don’t think caching benefits Lemmy and PieFed content that is changing very rapidly (e.g. new comments). That type of caching makes more sense for Lemmy/PieFed images.

However, bot traffic can get very expensive these days with all the AI crawlers. Cloudflare offers very good tooling to block these bots. I know there are other open source tools and I’m not defending Cloudflare, but it’s also easy to criticize when you’re not the person running the instance. From what I’ve seen, all the admins work very hard to keep the threadiverse running. I’m guessing that’s why a lot of instances are using Cloudflare.

Depends what you’re looking for. PieFed devs themselves said Blorp is very good. It’s just a different take. If you like the official PoeFed UI, use that. If you want something more modern, imo use Blorp.

Full disclosure, I’m the dev behind Blorp.

People have no idea how much work it is to build a real app. Theres a reason that this is generally a full time job.

For point 3, I assumed solar doesn’t get as hot since it turns the light into electricity. Due to the conservation of energy and mass, it must reduce some of the heat by turning it into electricity, right?

Maybe solar is mostly tapping into the energy from the light, not heat? If LED lights are so much more efficient because they don’t generate heat, then that untapped heat must be a lot of potential energy we could use for the grid, right?

I have no idea what I’m talking about lol

He’s a master debater obviously

One of the libraries we talked about, though @aeharding@vger.social did all the work, is an abstraction built over lemmy-js-client that automatically adds PieFed support. I really think opening communication between everyone will unlock more opportunity for collaboration.

GitHub has ads? Unless you just mean them aggressively pushing copilot, but I don’t consider that an ad.

Sorry to bother you here, but I send you a PM. I would love to collaborate more. I have a group chat with the other Lemmy/PieFed devs. Some of the devs are already working on shared logic/libraries between apps. I also 100% understand if you’re spread too thin and don’t want more messages.

https://blorpblorp.xyz/ now supports PieFed flairs! This functionality will take a couple weeks to roll out to the native iOS and Android apps.

I had no idea truth social was powered by mastodon. But it makes sense that maga is too dumb to build their own platform lol.

I wouldn’t know. I use neovim btw. No ai features for this guy
