Any bot makers want to make one to check for an archive.is paywall bypass?

And kart mechanics peaked in Crash Team Racing…

I was pretty impressed with it the other day, it converted ~150 lines of Python to C pretty flawlessly. I then asked it to extend the program by adding a progress bar to the program and that segfaulted, but it was immediately able to discover the segfault and fix it when I mentioned. Probably would have taken me an hour or two to write myself and ChatGPT did it in 5 minutes.

Speed of development. It could take months for a PR to get into Lemmy core and then a new release.

Things that get into Lemmy core have to be well thought out and the core Devs have to want them in there.

Running custom code is a way to make changes without having to get their approval, and if it proves popular enough, then maybe they’ll implement it upstream.

BTW, I didn’t vote one way or another on your posts. Those downvotes came organically.

I don’t care if you do or not. We’re not having a popularity contest here.

You can think that I’m…taking meaning that isn’t there

I sure do, because you are. Just because I’m saying that it’s important to stand up and fight for your rights does not mean that I’m advocating for this particular guy to put himself in a situation where he might get beaten up or killed, or judging him for not doing so. There’s an enormous range of actions between actively putting yourself in harm’s way and doing nothing at all. And in fact, the only person judging people here…is you.

Feels like you’re talking at me, rather than to me.

Any judgement you’re picking up is the way you’ve chosen to read my comments.

What if the moon was made of cheese?

It’s up to him to judge his own situation and make his own decisions. There are many different ways besides physical to fight and struggle against something. Basically the only thing that does nothing is giving up entirely.

Call it victim blaming if you like. It would be lovely if society at large sprung to assist those who are wronged. But that’s not what happens in reality, as I see it.

In general, yes. If you’re getting harassed and threatened and you want that to change, you should fight and deal with it. Nobody ever won anything by simply rolling over for anyone who was mean to them. Worse than that, society probably won’t support you if you do, even if they should.

It’s up to the individual how strongly they want to fight for it, of course, but I certainly wouldn’t discourage them from doing so.

Their first mistake was being an American.

Your advice is applicable to your own original comment, so it seems you do agree with what I said, at least to some degree.

Anyway, in the interests of constructive discussion, let me ask you specifically. Do you think this WEI proposal is good for and why? Does the proposal mention at all what the downsides of this feature might be, or how it could be abused? Is it proposed in such a way that the dominant implementors can’t deviate later from the terms suggested in the proposal?

Seeing as you’re having such trouble with people’s reactions to this, maybe you should be the one in this thread to point out the specific reasons why individuals should be in favour of this.

Can you just run a cronjob to delete files in that directory every day?

(Maybe there’s a reason you can’t do this, I don’t know how Lemmy instance works)

You’re looking at it from the perspective of somebody who disagrees with Twitter as a company and a product.

I just hate their shitty UI.

FYI, whitewashing makes perfect sense to use there:

to deliberately attempt to conceal unpleasant or incriminating facts about (someone or something).

It has nothing to do with race in this context.

As an American, surely you should be much more concerned about what the US government can do with your information than what the Chinese government can do with your information.

So, don’t learn to code? If you don’t have any reason to and can’t find any motivation, maybe it’s just not for you.

The user experience is nicer as a native app, if done right. With a PWA, you have to deal with anything crappy that the browser inflicts on you, and the developer largely can’t do anything about it. For example, Chrome sometimes just crashes or freezes entirely on me, which means Voyager can too.

See elsewhere in this thread for examples of little things that stem solely from being a PWA .

Don’t get me wrong, I think Voyager is great for a PWA and it probably gets a lot of value out of being a PWA making it easier for people to contribute. But it’s just not as good as native for me.

But then you’ll have to learn the syntax of this instead.

I suspect that if you actually start using Melody you won’t find it as helpful as you think you might. Maybe I’m wrong. Let’s see in a year’s time.

But you can do that already in many languages using extended Regex syntax.This doesn’t add anything except more verbosity and another syntax to learn.

Who is this for? People who write lots of regular expressions won’t need it because they know what they’re doing and people who don’t write lots of regular expressions probably won’t find it anyway.

It just seems like a weird type of user who actually wants this.
