No, sorry I should have included that here too. I put the credit in the sidebar: https://www.flaticon.com/free-stickers/stage

I looked through unsplash and flaticon, and this seemed closest to what we had before (a stage with a spotlight)

I think some mobile apps get rid of the duplicates, although I’m not familiar with which ones do that. Unless someone else replies here, you could try posting to !lemmyapps@lemmy.world

Have you tried a structured course for learning? I remember CodeAcademy being free ages ago, or say Odin Project for web development specifically

Some universities also release their courses online for free, on edx for example.

I think you forgot to link the article. This one has the same title, but a different image on it

It seems to differ on desktop vs mobile

That’s great to hear! Sorry if the post caused any potential stress, I’ve edited the end of the post and I’m open to editing it further to not give anyone the wrong impression.

Looking forward to seeing this in action :)

The spammer was this user, it looked like one of those impersonation accounts that pop up on Mastodon instances from time to time. You might have already banned the user by the time we got to it: @elonspacex49.bsky.social@coves.social

I’ve tried both [Lemmy and PieFed], and the UX is […]

That’s excluding the horrible lack of contrast most frontends use, which makes […]

IMO both of the UIs are going to feel weird and limited to someone coming from Reddit / Instagram etc. I find that custom front ends like Photon are a lot better for newcomers.

I know Lemmy is working on a completely new frontend.

Fediverse feels slower, but not in a good way. More of a ‘if I don’t use this for a week, I’ll see new things’. If I log in after 2 or 3 days, I’ll scroll for 10 minutes and see the stuff I saw last time.

I have a constant flow of new content, and see something new every time I open it (which is often, after years of having that muscle memory from reddit).

I’m subscribed to a lot of communities + using scaled sort

I also want nsfw stuff now and then. I hate how censored the internet has become, at least with reddit if I want to see a bit of porn, I can.

This one was weird to me. I remember seeing complaints that reddit has been banning and shutting down its NSFW side, while it’s accessible here.

I tried twice to join those forums within the Fediverse and I can’t get past the captcha test. The fact that you need approval to validate your access doesn’t seem designed to encourage you to recommend it.

I want Lemmy to support HCaptcha

Past that, most people are ok with applications once you explain why they’re necessary.

Also a lot of social media platforms started out as invite only as marketing strategy lol

Yep

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_colour

Parties in different countries with similar ideologies sometimes use similar colours. As an example, the colour red symbolizes ideologies further to the left of the political spectrum, sometimes referred to as left-wing politics. In some countries this has also been associated with Communism (leading to the use of such terms as “Red Army” and “Red Scare”). The colour blue is often used for conservatism, politics that lie further to the right of the political spectrum, and thus referred to as “right of centre” or “right wing” politics. In more recent years, the colour yellow has been commonly associated with liberalism and right-libertarianism, while the colour green has an association with Green politics so-named after the ideology’s choice of that colour and concern with environmental issues, also commonly described as being green.[2][3]

YouTube started with a lot of angel funding, which is why it eventually monetized in the way that it has

YouTube began as an angel-funded enterprise working from a makeshift office in a garage. In November 2005, venture firm Sequoia Capital invested an initial $3.5 million,[20] and Roelof Botha (a partner of the firm and former CFO of PayPal) joined the YouTube board of directors. In April 2006, Sequoia and Artis Capital Management invested an additional $8 million in the company, which had experienced significant growth in its first few months.

I tried to update mine and saw that there wasn’t an easy path to update it yet, so I decided to do the same

It’s weird seeing the widget on my phone blank now

Thankfully most of the people in that thread have reasonable takes on why it is necessary.

I wasn’t familiar with how piefed handles it, I think that is a good method. The user can start setting up their profile, but posts are limited.

Looks great! Is the best way to submit bugs by DM or email?

I noticed the following issues when trying to sign in and add an instance with my accounts on Lemmy and Piefed instances (lemmy.ca/u/otter and piefed.ca/u/otter specifically):

Logging in

Signing in with the profile-description (bio) code works on both Lemmy and PieFed, but logging in with a DM does not work for either.

On Lemmy, I get the error message

We could not deliver a message to that account. Check the handle, or use another way to sign in.

Meanwhile on Piefed, FediDB says that it sent the code, but it fails silently since I never receive a message on the account. I looked into adding fedidb.com as a trusted instance from the admin side, but I don’t think that’s the issue since there are no entries for fedidb.com there at all.

I know it should be possible to receive DMs from non-threadiverse instances since Canvas used that for auth. If it helps, here is the source code for that project:

• https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas
• https://git.sc07.company/sc07/fediverse-auth

I think they do it by sending the DM as both a Mastodon style note and as a Lemmy style chat message (link to code)

// around line 144
   const outbox = [
      await message.build(fedify.Note),
      await message.build(fedify.ChatMessage),
    ].map((obj) => apub.prepareObject(obj, ts));

Admin verification

This one fails for both.

On Lemmy I suspect it is looking at the wrong endpoint since I get this:

Could not reach the server to confirm your admin status.

Meanwhile on Piefed, I see the following message despite using an admin account that shows up in /api/alpha/site

Your account is not an admin or the contact account of this server.

I haven’t tried the other methods yet :)

Maybe, but I read it as emphatic scare quotes

Either they really don’t trust doctors, or they’re trying to be clear this is satire

I think most Lemmy apps are either compatible with both Piefed and Lemmy, or just Lemmy. So putting out information in a Lemmy format will let more clients connect to it?

That’s very cool, and I appreciate the thought that you’ve put into this, including the naming.

How does the embedding side change as it scales up? (Storage costs and performance). Brainstorming based on your description, I assume the embedding process is the most resource intensive, and lookups are basically free? If so, would the limit be how fast it can process all new posts?

I wonder if it would be helpful to run a threadiverse search service like this, which other instances can plug in to. Theres no strong reason for everyone to run their own, since they can just filter out any results that a particular instance has blocked or banned. In our case, we wouldn’t want to replicate that work across the few instances that we run.

I suspect that LLMs do pretty well with troubleshooting Linux thanks to those manuals and old forum posts. After using them to troubleshoot Linux based devices, I tried the same thing on Windows and it struggled to figure out what commands to run.

Windows is a mess to configure and troubleshoot, even with the help of LLMs. Microsoft could have spent their investment trying to fix that, but I don’t think they have.

“Copilot can troubleshoot your computer” could have been a selling point, but they’d have to admit that windows 11 is a buggy mess

The mailing list change the article is referring to: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20261009083137.3-1-sashal@kernel.org/

I wonder if the original rule was too broad and it was leading to noise? I’d prefer to have attribution when code is written, but not in all cases

If someone uses an LLM to brainstorm or track down a bug, then confirms it and writes the fix by hand, adding attribution might end up being noise.

Meanwhile if someone uses the LLM to write the fix, then that should get attribution

That quote was someone else

“LLMs are good enough now,” said Greg Kroah-Hartman, a veteran Linux kernel maintainer, at the Linux Foundation’s Open Source Summit in South Korea in August. “They’ve gotten good enough to find bugs because LLMs, AI, are just pattern matchers and code is nothing but patterns in a specific format.”

Also to be fair, that quote is about finding bugs and the guy might not have been talking about using AI to patch them. The article makes it sound that way, but the article also seems overly confident and pro-AI about some other things too.

You can deterministically find something that is clearly defined, but bugs don’t fall into that category

Are there any matching issues for the URL that you are trying to deal with? Maybe someone is already working on it

Neat!

Do you have any recent news on how Sal & mander.xyz are doing?

Also feel free to post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca too :)
