- Comment on You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on 8 months ago:
Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.
(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)
- Comment on Previously paid Nintendo DS emulator app on Android goes free (DraStic DS) 8 months ago:
Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.
Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.
- Comment on Previously paid Nintendo DS emulator app on Android goes free (DraStic DS) 8 months ago:
This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

- Comment on How much difference does a CDN make to a fediverse instance? - PieFed 8 months ago:
Flippin’ eck. Seeing a familiar Lemmy post on there, clicking it and seeing the whole thing render instantly was a bit of a shock after getting used to Lemmy’s more pedestrian loading of stuff.
- Comment on Removing images from new users 8 months ago:
Oh right. I didn’t realise that removed posts still got votes (and comments too, by the looks of it). No rush for the update, obvs (I thinks there’s only one actual subscriber from programming.dev)
- Comment on Removing images from new users 8 months ago:
Thanks. I can see that a new post from ‘nixCraft’ has made it, when the previous one got removed. I know it’s not important, but pls can the removed posts be restored?
- Comment on Removing images from new users 8 months ago:
Hello. My community !tails@lemmon.website is getting caught by this. It posts stuff from Mastodon users, so they won’t have any karma. I’ve been trying to figure out why posts to programming.dev have been hit or miss, and the answer of course is that the missing posts are sat in modlog!
If poss, can tails be added as an exception? It’s me that’s deciding whether a post is made or not, so no spam or weird stuff will ever get sent.
Thanks.
- Comment on 8 months ago:
Ooof. That makes me feel better about that time I accidentally brought ‘Test Post 1’ into production by commenting on it.
- Comment on Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts 8 months ago:
It’s me deciding. Recommendations for interesting people on Mastodon to follow are welcome (either in this post, or the sticky ‘About this community’ post).
- Comment on Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts 8 months ago:
Mmmm. It’s the instance that people are on on that’s doing (or not doing) much of the work there. If you comment on a post, the instance will send 1 copy to me (who’s responsible for federating it out to other Lemmy instances) and 1 copy to Mastodon for the post’s author.
If you reply to a Lemmy comment, it doesn’t send it to Mastodon because it’s not for the author (in much the same way that you don’t get replies to replies in your inbox if you’re the OP of a Lemmy post). For local posts, both Mastodon and Lemmy show the local comment tree, but neither can show every Fediverse interaction because they never hear about them.
Likewise, if you reply to a Mastodon comment, your instance will send it to the comment author, but not the post author, so won’t appear anywhere under their post.
As for Mastodon comments on Lemmy … it depends. I follow some accounts, so when I post them to Lemmy, top-level comments come through automatically (again, though, I never hear about replies to replies). Other content is just stuff I’ve seen and grabbed. I often post the existing replies, but not if they’ve turned Authorized Fetch on, and I don’t typically go back and check for more later.
- Comment on Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts 8 months ago:
They can, yes. The lemmy instance that a particular user is on handles that. This community is mostly about getting the posts and comments into lemmy in the first place.
- Comment on Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts 8 months ago:
Lol, no. I’ve decided that they should be exclusively referred to as Tails OS (they’ve yet to formally agree).
The name comes it being a Community that follows People (so flipping the usual relationship in a heads/tails kinda way, but also tail as a synonym for follow).
- Comment on Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts 8 months ago:
Not yet, no.
- Comment on Tails: A Place on Lemmy for Mastodon Posts 8 months ago:
I’ve seen this happen occasionally, but it doesn’t always look great, and relies on them having heard of Lemmy in the first place, obvs.

- Comment on Councils call for pavement parking to be banned across England 8 months ago:
Part of the problem is how much wider on average cars have got, making it less viable to park next to the curb or with just 2 wheels on it. Another part is that both members of a couple are more likely to be working and needing separate cars, and if their kids can’t afford to move away, than that’s an extra car too. Additionally, councils have convinced themselves that not lowering carbs to allow for extra driveways is promoting public transport use, ignoring how unviable that often is.
Cars with all 4 wheels on the pavement annoy me, but it’s become so normalised that drivers have looked at me, like me walking on the pavement is an irritating obstruction to where they have every right to be. I think the police in some areas allow you to upload a photo to report them, but it’s not something I’d do 'cos it’s a complex problem and fines aren’t the solution.

- Comment on Changing PieFed's appearance with themes - PieFed 9 months ago:
From the install doc:
My way around this is to use ngrok.com, which is a quick and simple way to create a temporary VPN with a domain and SSL. On the free plan your domain changes often, which will break federation every time you reconnect.
You can now get 1 free static url with ngrok’s free plan. The ‘free’ part of it is that it needs relaunching after a certain period of time (every 2 days, maybe?) but it works well enough to develop things.
- Comment on Average Lemmy Active Users by Month 11 months ago:
programming.dev changed how active users are calculated on their instance to include voters as well as posters & commentators. It’s a massive difference - programming_humor went from about 700 monthly active users to about 7000, for example.
Viewing communities from other instances from programming.dev’s perspective will give a figure that includes voting activity.

- Comment on Sad news for 3 people: ‘The Idol’ Canceled At HBO After One Season 1 year ago:
Rolling Stone estimated that it was 80% done before Amy Seimetz left, which is still a awful lot to just throw away. I’m not sure I’d want to watch the original version, but I’d happily watch a documentary about what went wrong.

To the extent it was ever Barbie vs. Oppenheimer, Barbie has very clearly won - by twice the revenue in whichever field you want to look in.

- Comment on Cyberpunk novels with trans characters 1 year ago:
Walkaway by Cory Doctorow features a trans character (not as one of the main characters though). I can’t say much about it, because I didn’t finish reading it (but I’m going to have another crack at it at some point).
Somewhat fittingly, I asked Bing beforehand to check whether it was cyberpunk, and it said:
Yes, Walkaway is a science fiction novel by Canadian writer Cory Doctorow that falls under the cyberpunk genre ¹. The novel was published in 2017 by Head of Zeus and Tor Books ¹. It is set in a near-future world where people are under surveillance and ruled over by a mega-rich elite, and follows the story of Hubert Espinoza, his friend Seth, and Natalie as they walk away from the everyday world or “Default” ¹. The novel explores themes of dystopia, utopia, oligarchy, surveillance, post-scarcity, alternative lifestyle, war, love and romance ¹.
I hope this helps!

- Comment on Gareth Edwards New Film The Creator Releasing In September 29 1 year ago:
Interesting that it’s not getting its release delayed like Dune Part 2 (both films share a cinematographer, so if Dune had always been planned for March, then they could have used Greg Frasier more on The Creator, ironically enough).
I prefer this poster to the IMAX version:
Image - Comment on Album Art Porn - Share your favourite music album cover 1 year ago:
Very true.
The comparison I had in mind was top-level web domains - there was all these plans (e.g. .net should only be for ISPs and telecoms businesses) that were ultimately ignored.
I came across one issue moderating a lemmy.world Community from a feddit.nl account - the pin I put in a post only happened on the feddit.nl copy, it didn’t federate across to any other ones. That’s the only prob I’ve encountered so far, though.
