I haven’t seen the episode yet, but I hate this
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!
Can I hide from the trump administration in the shadow dom?
Lol this is me trying to hug my partner
I haven’t. I can’t speak to Eufy specifically, but battery-powered wireless cameras are not ideal. Battery-powered or wireless individually isn’t ideal. I think most battery cameras won’t do continuous recording, and with wireless, expect lag issues.
I just swapped my Ring doorbell, which did motion detection recording, not continuous, for a ubiquiti g4 doorbell pro. That got continuous recording, which is so much better. But I opted not to run an Ethernet cable, which I’m kind of regretting now. I was using Homebridge for Ring and Ubiquiti to get the cameras into Apple home.
On the other hand, Eufy is probably much cheaper and simpler to set up. So if you don’t care about continuous recording and you can deal with lag, it’s probably a good option.
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
And this is actually the issue. As a developer I want to build and app based on what interests me. Then I want to write a post about it.
The comments:
- person 1: Why would you waste your time building an app for that platform, you should build an app for this platform that way less people use”
- person 2: “nah that’s a waste of time you should build an app for this even more niche platform with even less users”
- person 3: “you should just use RSS feeds and anything else is a waste of time”
Me as a developer “thanks guys I just wanted to build an app for a platform I’m passionate about”
Wrote this comment on my own lemmy client, because I like using about lemmy :)
Idk maybe I'm wrong. I worked for a news outlet for a couple years and I just remember generating and parsing XML to be more work then generating a JSON feed.
It's not even just parsing. I just remember crawling the parsed JSON tree to not be as nice as navigating a JSON object.
Btw, you can also donate on Patreon, OpenCollective, and Liberapay.
