  • I was going to switch to trillium next, but in the end I decided not because it relies on a database even more than Joplin does.

    I’m in the process of giving Silver Bullet a try. It seems to be pretty well designed. I don’t really like that folders are just cosmetic and not useful for navigation, but I like that it is open source, that the documents are saved in the file system, and that it’s self-hosted instead of synced.


  • This is basically what CI/CD pipelines do.

    Compile the code, run tests, run static analysis. If results pass, submit the code. If results fail, reject it with an explanation.

    Idk the details of how you’d implement this for a class, without letting everyone see eachother’s completed work, but I’m sure it could be done.


  • It does.
    But I mean you asked

    I mean does anyone go for power line adapters as their first choice when straight up ethernet is an option?

    And when someone “no, because…” and you keep replying with inane responses that sound like arguments but don’t actually say anything.

    A recreation of the thread:
    OP: power line adapters gave me network problems
    A: nobody prefers power adapters
    B: right, but it’s still the best option for some
    A: people would prefer Ethernet
    B: yes, but that’s not feasible for some
    A: why are you replying if you agree?
    B: ask yourself that. Do we agree or not?

    Yes, we all know that. That’s what we’re telling you. Nobody is installing power line if running Ethernet is simple.

    You seem to be expressing shock that people would choose powerline adapters as their first choice. People are replying to tell you that it’s not their first choice, but they chose it anyway because running Ethernet is often way too difficult.




  • Because with federated services people don’t have to host an activitypub server, you can join a federated instance that someone else maintains.

    The typical Twitter user balked at just selecting a mastodon instance when they signed up in the app… similar issues for reddit users looking to come to lemmy. If you think that they’re going to be willing to go and set up and manage their own server, even on a free hosting site, you’re wildly mistaken.

    If you don’t think you need the normies on your social network anyways, I have no polite way to tell you that most people want to join social networks with their friends.




  • Why do we advocate for, and pour hours of development into, ActivityPub rather than

    Because that’s what the devs are interested in doing. If you’re going to ask anyone, ask them.

    a big thing you’re missing is discovery of old content and searching. You’re describing a purely ephemeral social network. Activitypub itself can’t solve that, but this is why federated networks exist instead of purely P2P.
    Maybe some people want that, after all Snapchat became popular. But it wouldn’t work for something like Lemmy.





  • I also feel like everyone seems to be missing that we’re taking about degradation, which isn’t usually “no js at all”, it’s some subset that isn’t supported. People use feature detection to find out of some feature is supported in the browser and if it’s not the they don’t enable the feature the depends on it.

    For the chat example, you could argue that a chat can degrade into a bulletin board, but I’d argue that people use chat for realtime messaging so js is needed for the base use case.

    If your webpage primarily just displays static information, then I agree that it should work without js or css. Like Wikipedia, or a blog, or news, or a product marketing page, or a forum/BBS.
    But there is a huge part of the web that this simply doesn’t apply to, and it’s not realistic to have them put in huge effort to support what can only be a broken experience for a fraction of a percent of users.
