I think Piefed has a workable API now, but the big limitation for me is that all of the components that make up Tess are tightly coupled to Lemmy’s type definitions.

To support Piefed, I would need to make a translation layer to build Lemmy-esque objects from Piefed’s API responses. That’s perfectly doable, but Lemmy’s type definitions are also limiting a lot of things I want to do. I’ve extended a few of them but, really, I need to re-write most of these components to use platform agnostic interfaces that meet my own needs while mapping both Lemmy and Piefed objects to those.

Unfortunately, that’s going to take a lot of work that I just don’t have time to dedicate to right now. Life has been hectic to say the least.

The Lemmy API doesn’t combine duplicates/crossposts together and requires it to be done client-side by detecting duplicate URLs when calling getPosts() to generate the feed. This means most apps that do roll up crossposts can only do so for ones that come through in the same API fetch. It’s possible to roll up crossposts across different fetches, but having done that in Tesseract, it causes more user confusion than just letting it be a duplicate.

I’ve got a natural bias towards Tesseract because I build it, but it does roll them up both by URL and by title. The latter covers cases where someone posts identical things to different communities that don’t use a URL, such as questions to the Ask communities. No bonus points because it still doesn’t support Piefed, and it’s not looking like that’s going to happen any time soon.

Oops. thanks. Fixed it. It’s vger not voyager.

AFAIK, Mlmym is the only “old” reddit UI. I’m not sure if it’s still maintained or not but the last commit was sometime last year.

Didn’t know Alexandrite wasn’t maintained anymore. I liked it.

Tesseract is sort-of like “new” reddit circa 2023 but without all the crap. It’s Lemmy only.

Voyager is also pretty popular, but not my cup of tea.

Blorp is I think relatively new but looks really nice. Haven’t played with it much.

I’m a bit lost beyond those, but you can check out https://lemmyapps.com/ for a mostly up to date directory.

I had an old laptop that I hooked in and configured it to boot into a fullscreen browser to our Emby server. Could just as easily have it boot into a browser with shortcuts to your streaming services.

We use one of these mini keyboard/touchpads to control it:

Lately, though, I just picked up a set of wireless HDMI adapters and just plug one of those into the closest laptop and play from there.

Obviously the reader should confirm this for their own jurisdiction but there is no law against either removing or covering up your car’s plate(s) as long as you’re parked on your own private property. Just gotta remember to uncover them before you head out because that is illegal.

Car covers are also an alternative if you’re a renter assuming you aren’t required to have a parking pass or plates visible for parking enforcement.

I’ve had a monochrome Brother laser printer for about 14 years now. Still using the original toner that came with it, though it’s down to about 20% or so. Prints every time I need it which isn’t very often, but when I need to print something, I actually need to print it.

Apple on Friday accused OpenAI of stealing

That’s pretty much OpenAI’s modus operandi, is it not? Like, they’ve stolen from everyone else on the planet, why did Apple think they were special? It’s like they invited the Hamburgler to their BBQ and are shocked when all the sliders disappear.

Ceasefire deals be like:

If my NAS gets sick anytime in the near future:

I never played it on Lynx, but California Games was like the Wii Sports of the NES.

My favorite thing was hitting the seagull with the hackey sack.

I’ve been in an airbags deployed accident while wearing glasses. I was fine, and so were my glasses.

Getting hit in the face with a pillow is actually worse than hitting the airbag at 50 mph. The airbag also partially deflates nearly as fast as it inflates. i.e. you don’t smack into it hard and it just cushions you and keeps you from smacking into the steering wheel. It’s also designed to work with the seatbelts, so those should also be keeping you from being right up in the airbag’s business. Hence, the technical name for airbags, SRS (supplemental restraint system)

You’d have to be eye-level with the center of the steering wheel, not wearing a seatbelt, and right up on it for that to be a concern.

Removed by mod

Fair enough and was assuming it was something more unique lol

Random question unrelated to the post: There’s a brand new account, cattywampus, (u instead of a) also posting this morning. Is that an official alt or is someone trying to impersonate you? Just wondering if I should report them or not.

Yeah, I just avoid all communities that start with “Ban” or “Fuck”. Life is much less irritating that way.

Good luck un-seeing this:
