Just a few weeks I’m sure

Smoking pork butt for the first time! I anticipate mediocre results but hey I’ve never done it before.

I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.

Commenting because I’d love to know the same.

Yeah, at my company we switched to allow/block listed last year. Whitelisted and blacklisted are verboten

Oh holy shit I am in. Even if you charge me $50 one time, I’m so in. Boost has been my bread and butter for YEARS, ive purchased on multiple devices and I will 1000% support the dev on this.

As another dev here, I have barely used a PC/laptop outside of work in years. I got a gaming PC like 2 years back and don’t use it much. But every time I get the hankering for some personal dev project and have to mess with the registry I cry inside. I really need to just ditch it for Linux entirely. I’m so much more comfortable on Linux. You might just convince me to bite the bullet and remove it entirely since 90% of my gaming is on steamdeck anyway.

It was! Posting this from my fold-4 as we speak. I’m loving the app so far. Great job on this!

Ah shit. No I can’t go by that moniker. It was the weirdest there. Now I’m crying alligator tears. I escaped to the west coast for a reason.

Recently a video tape surfaced of my friends and I tazing each other for fun.

Yes, I lived in bumfuck Florida at the time.

Edit: typo

Do we get cool uniforms if we do though?

This. I was always losing bics but my wife got me a Zippo and engraved a picture my kid drew on it. It will stay with me until I die. Then my kids can toke up with it.

Had GPT summarize what happened.

The “left pad” incident refers to a controversy that arose in 2016 when a developer named Azer Koçulu removed his JavaScript package called “left-pad” from the NPM (Node Package Manager) registry. This caused a ripple effect, breaking numerous projects that relied on this package and highlighting the potential risks of relying on external dependencies. The incident sparked a debate about the stability and trustworthiness of the open-source ecosystem and led to discussions about best practices for managing dependencies in software development.

1000% agree. This is how it should be done. And not hidden away somewhere deep. There are legit reasons for in depth tracking, but when used for advertising or something other than improving the user’s experience, count me out.

Oh absolutely this. Far far easier. It’s a sign of a good dev who can come in and improve things without needing to rewrite everything. That said, refactors are fun as hell.

Where do I join?

It’d be a “vulnerability” of anything public. There’s nothing stopping me from building a bot that pulls posts/threads from any instance and storing all the comments, their owners, the posts and their owners, yadda yadda.

I suspect the up/downvotes are “private” but on any instance, the owners will have access to that. I can’t imagine all the data is encrypted at rest by default. But, don’t take my word on that as I haven’t read any of the specs. But, I’m pretty sure we’re just looking at the protocol, not the implementation with regards to how a federated instance works.

So, same precautions as anywhere else really. Your data that’s public WILL be tracked by someone and Meta is a damn likely culprit who absolutely would do that. I’m a total privacy nerd myself, but you’d be amazed at the things I want to track at work related to what/how/why people use the tools I work on. Granted, it’s 100% exclusively used to improve user experience, weed out bugs, and see what is used most frequently to focus on that stuff. But if it can be tracked, somebody is tracking it.

Am a developer, and there’s a few patterns to make this sort of thing easier, but Lemmy/kbin is pretty different than the reddit APIs as I understand it with the federation aspects, so swapping wouldn’t be THAT easy. Doable, but not a drop in replacement.

Aaaah, those were the days. Not good ones, but days for sure. Remember before download resuming was a thing?
