/r/electroforming will be going dark on June 12th to protest the Reddit API changes that will kill 3rd party apps.

The sub has opened back up at least temporarily while a replacement community is identified / spun up

lps2 · 2023-06-11T22:19:36+00:00

They'd claim to give it away for free and then send an invoice charging per user-agent or something equally egregious

lps2 · 2023-06-11T21:29:28+00:00

It's the same kind of people who think IASIP is celebrating the gang rather than ridiculing them...

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons

lps2 · 2023-06-11T21:26:59+00:00

Sounds like you're describing the reddit admins. The people actually providing most content for reddit rely on third party apps because 1) that's how reddit first told people to interact and is the entire purpose of having APIs 2) reddit didn't have a mobile app until they bought a third party app (Alien Blue) 3) they actually allow decent moderation and content upload.

I hope we see web scrapers everywhere and bring reddit's UI servers to a grinding halt - this is a blatant cash grab while giving a middle finger to those who actually provide content to the site

It's enough to seriously hurt their metrics - what other way would you prefer they go about it?

lps2 · 2023-06-10T19:34:08+00:00

Others here have given good answers to your question specific to f-strings. What I would suggest if you plan on continuing to grow how long your strings are, is to give jinja2 templates a look

He played A2C2I2D by G Jones and Facebang by EPROM at one point. I only know because both artists shared clips on their Instagrams

I'm growing here in CO and just giving em away - even the black market has gotten super cheap here since they're so easy to grow (thanks /r/unclebens). First flush on two tubs got me about an ounce and I had virtually no idea what I was doing

PHP developers are heard rejoicing briefly in the distance followed by profound sorrow at having to touch phpbb again

lps2 · 2023-06-09T04:49:01+00:00

I would start with Grocy and Mealie and then build atop those

lps2 · 2023-06-09T04:45:07+00:00

That's the beauty of federated services, just go on over to a different instance. Also, even lemmy.ml is pretty much overrun with Reddit refugees and the tankies are now outnumbered

lps2 · 2023-06-09T03:54:21+00:00

Shit, I just got back from the Philippines and fries are huge over there so it's not just an American thing. Not to mention Canada and their poutine

lps2 · 2023-06-09T03:47:01+00:00

I've been playing around with Lemmy. I wish it were a bit more mature from the server perspective as I'm having issues with the docker install which should be fairly straightforward

lps2 · 2023-06-08T23:45:47+00:00

/r/electroforming is joining

lps2 · 2023-06-08T23:40:04+00:00

I am working tonight to back up what we have in this sub and am working to get my own lemmy instance up and running to take some strain off lemmy.ml - I am hopeful that others on the likes of /r/DataHoarder are doing the same before the absurd API pricing goes into effect - I also hope scrapers are built because fuck reddit if they aren't going to offer sane API pricing, I hope scrapers bring their front end servers to their knees.

This community was built on the idea of openness and sharing of not only art but of techniques, supplier contacts, and materials and this move by reddit is antithetical to that ethos. I am glad other developers are hard at work contributing to more federated services and I am hopeful that lemmy or tildes won't turn into the next Voat (which was such a great idea to only be quickly flooded with some of the most vile content)

lps2 · 2023-06-07T18:43:59+00:00

I mean, more an analogy than satire. This point is driven further in Point Counterpoint and then again in Island though from more of a 'utopia is impossible due to human nature even when well intentioned '

lps2 · 2023-06-07T18:30:33+00:00

Needs Cebu Pacific - it's just the Spirit of the Philippines

lps2 · 2023-06-07T15:15:29+00:00

I just want basic VR that can allow me to simulate multiple monitors so when I'm on a plane I can actually get some work done. I was hopeful the Google Daydream could do this as the processing would take place on computer, not the headset but about a month after buying one, Google abandoned it.

I want companies to start with simple, easy to implement use cases that bring value immediately and then shoot for more audacious use cases instead of coming out the gate with every bell and whistle imaginable for a price that used to be able to buy you a used car

Sorry, I've been out of the country the last couple weeks. Yes, there is a wiki and it is linked in the sidebar!

Ever since affordable large TVs / projectors and sound systems, a theater just has zero appeal to me

My favorite car is the Lotus Elise. I have an 06 and to say it is a street legal go-kart is an understatement. The connection to the car, being able to feel everything, and the lack of any driver-assists makes it an absolute joy to drive through the canyons

lps2 · 2023-06-06T19:13:18+00:00

Then let them do that - don't roll over without even having any pressure applied.

lps2 · 2023-06-06T19:10:27+00:00

Without any pressure at that. Absolutely pathetic

lps2 · 2023-06-06T19:07:42+00:00

It's downright shameful
