Have any of you FUD shoveling geniuses considered that this is because Firefox uses encrypted DNS by default?

Nice FUD you got there.

Grayjay. Nuff said.

Then why did you open your big mouth? No one fucking cares.

Ffs. People like you are absolutely exhausting.

There is no reason that a fediverse client has to be free or open source. It just so happens that connect is excellent and is free.

It is free. The developer is here. Maybe you should stop being a curmudgeon about everything.

Purity testing is idiotic.

Connect for Lemmy is the goat

No more instance based communities. Instead instances are assigned to groups of servers for redundancy and you end up with a more centralized experience.

Essentially you end up with a server cluster.

Regarding the fediverse at large…

I believe that this is a design issue. Instances are designed so that they function like categories. That categories then have subcategories.

The issue is that with user distribution, you can’t then just assign users round robin distribute the load. This leads to what we now have which is very confusing to the end user.

Users was a centralized experience. The duplication of communities is a prime example of the bad design.

In the abstract, I would consider putting all instances in a pool. Each instance runs a different community, with servers also duplicating x number of communities for the sake of redundancy (instance goes offline, content still exists on another server). It’s complicated, and has it’s own issues/flaws, but I believe that from a high level view, it is a better design in general.

The current system is just a mess unfortunately.

Perhaps there could be a hybrid of these two approaches that would be superior.

My back of the napkin design prioritizes user experience and ease of use. That said, I can immediately think of a few downsides.

2 massive issues I have with pixelfed: No support for webp No support for hevc/heic

I don’t use an iPhone but I do use heic for 10bit. As heic is default on iPhone, this means that iPhone users go through all the hassle to set up a pixelfed account but then can’t upload anything.

That’s not good.

I’m afraid to mention my framework anywhere. The documentation leaves a lot to be desired, but it’s honestly pretty perfect for a majority of use cases.

It even supports plugins and short codes.

Super secure as well so that’s neat. I had always planned to make a post about it but the lack of thorough documentation keeps me from it.

That said, there are a zillion of frameworks out there and some of them are ridiculously cool.

Try intellij. It’s really neat and not built on electron.

This doesn’t solve the underlying issue, but if my primary code writing interface was doing this type of shit, I would ditch it immediately.

IPv6 blows. A.k.a. how to solve a network issue in the dumbest way possible.

Fuck me, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by going IPv6 in your local network. That’s just stupid.

This is an exercise in wankery.

Stargate SG-1

It’s a really fantastic show and it holds up as well.

GNU IMP

Really? That’s the best the fucking brain trust could come up with?

Here are some suggestions that chatgpt came up with. All of them are FAR better than that and dont even take much imagination.

Certainly! Here’s the list:

1. PixelCrafter

2. PhotoFlare

3. ArtisanEdit

4. Imagino

5. EditSphere

6. PixiePro

7. Visionary

8. ChromaCraft

9. PixelPioneer

10. ImageAlchemy

I hope one of these sparks some inspiration!

Fork deez

Change the awful name.

GIGO.

Garbage in garbage out. You give a shit prompt, you generally get a shit answer.

Come on dude, you know exactly what he meant. Social media is a broad category, but when someone mentions it in this context, it’s very clear what they mean.
