Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn't sound too "techy", not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

Didn't someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Ok you've peaked my curiosity.

but with large potential consequences.

What are some of the consequences you see?

Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It's almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.

AllSides is a good one too

Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.

You can reply and interact on platforms from an RSS reader. All an RSS feed is is a list of links. When you click them, you go directly to the platform. When using on a mobile device, RSS readers will even open the app for you to reply or interact with posts.

The fediverse will never replace RSS feeds. They serve a totally different purpose.

That sort of aggregating would make more sense in an RSS reader. RSS feeds are exactly for that purpose.

But a platform trying to interop from an infinite number of unrelated platforms just seems odd.

Don't think this opinion is unpopular at all. It makes sense for platforms that are similar to interop.

Hypothetically like Youtube interop with Peertube (video platforms) or Instagram interop with Pixelfed (photos). Or Threads, Reddit and Lemmy (forums). And Mastodon and Twitter (sorry, but just making a point here 😁)

But yeah, see no reason for interop between platforms with completely different purposes.

 

HUGE win for EU and for Developers with apps in Apple's App store! 🚀

 

This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.

 

I noticed that every time I visit the site, I have to log in. I remember not having to do this a few days ago. I was assuming a cookie was being set for a timeframe until I explicitly log out. I can't remember if there was a "remember me" button. I'm using Firefox and tried disabling my extensions, but that didn't seem to help.

Anyone know why sh.reddit.com exists? Is it something they plan to use in future? ATM, it just looks justlike reddit.com with a few small style differences.

 

I'm a dev and I was browsing Mozilla's careers page and came across this. I find a privacy respecting company being interested in building an AI powered recommendation engine a little odd. Wouldn't they need to sift through the very data we want private in order for a recommendation engine to be good? Curious of what others think.
