I don't think they need a specific answer, but rather they want to comment on the different variations

Posting to Reddit feature returning soon...

Until then, please download your image and then upload it to Reddit.

Someone could reach out to the developer and ask if they'd add a button to post it here. There are a few browser extensions that autofill a Lemmy post

I couldn't settle on a punchline

Right at the end of the video, there is a twist that may raise the graying eyebrows of Commodore fans around the globe. Perifractic reveals that he received a message direct from Commodore Corporation B.V. that states “yes we can grant you an exclusive license, but your team seems to know Commodore better than we do, we might like to sell you the whole company.”

What 😄

Sadly, we are left with this cliffhanger. Viewers are told to stay tuned for Part 2 of this video, “live and Let Buy.” But we don’t have a date for the video publication. Stay tuned, indeed.

:(

I'm sharing this because of this context:

Doctors urge vaccination following death of Ontario infant infected with measles in the womb

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/pregnancy-measles-1.7553851

However, when talking about this story, please also note the last line from this blurb. There is indeed a risk, and in this case there were other complications as well:

A premature infant who contracted measles before birth has died in southwestern Ontario, the province’s chief medical officer of health says,

According to Dr. Kieran Moore, the infant’s mother was not vaccinated against measles.

In a statement Thursday, he said while measles may have contributed to both the premature birth and death, the infant also faced other serious medical complications unrelated to the virus.

I guess the problem is that people aren't familiar with the site, or the joke about Bill Gates

Having the title be "This couples compatibility quiz is an enemy of GNU/Linux" would have been more clear

We're also learning as we go :) In addition to the features mentioned in the post, a big one for regional instances like ours might be the topic lists (once we set those up anyway)

Congrats on the expansion!

Thanks!

The collapsing of downvoted comments is configurable in the user settings, so it's possible to disable it or fine tune it to the way you want it. The discussion is still valid for what the default settings should be

I'm still learning about the karma side, so I don't want to comment on that yet

PieFed is developing rapidly, and these sound like reasonable concerns that the developers might address at some point :)

Looks like someone else tagged the dev already, we can also post suggestions in [email protected]

[–] otter 5 points 5 days ago

There is an API but it is slightly different from Lemmy, and it's very new, which is why the app list is small. Right now that includes [email protected] and using the website as a PWA. As more people use it, more apps should implement support.

The PieFed dev docs say that the API is 95% similar, so hopefully it should be easy enough for app developers to implement

[–] otter 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The API is new I believe, piefed.social enabled it recently as well

Welcome to piefed.ca :)

[–] otter 5 points 5 days ago

Since the PieFed API was only enabled recently, there aren't that many apps out yet. [email protected] is the one that people recommend right now. Voyager has plans to add it.

As more people use it, hopefully more apps will support it :)

What is PieFed

PieFed follows a similar format as Lemmy and Mbin. Those that are familiar with Lemmy will find it very similar, with some additional features including topic lists, optional private voting, new mod and admin tools, crosspost de-duplication, community wikis, etc. Thanks to how the fediverse works, you can use either lemmy.ca or piefed.ca to interact freely!

We will put together some guides on our non-profit's website at some point. In the meantime, we have created [email protected] for us to learn from each other. There is also the official [email protected] community which has a similar purpose.

We have done some testing and we are learning as we go, but please bear with us while this new platform gets going 🙂

Piefed is another instance type that is growing in popularity, and a few instances are now turning on the API. As such, apps are also implementing support.

It would be great if Boost would support it too. Hopefully the extra development overhead isn't too bad.

The API for third-party apps (frontends, bots, etc) is 95% the same as the Lemmy API.

Tracking code that Meta and Russia-based Yandex embed into millions of websites is de-anonymizing visitors by abusing legitimate Internet protocols, causing Chrome and other browsers to surreptitiously send unique identifiers to native apps installed on a device, researchers have discovered. Google says it's investigating the abuse, which allows Meta and Yandex to convert ephemeral web identifiers into persistent mobile app user identities.

The covert tracking—implemented in the Meta Pixel and Yandex Metrica trackers—allows Meta and Yandex to bypass core security and privacy protections provided by both the Android operating system and browsers that run on it. Android sandboxing, for instance, isolates processes to prevent them from interacting with the OS and any other app installed on the device, cutting off access to sensitive data or privileged system resources. Defenses such as state partitioning and storage partitioning, which are built into all major browsers, store site cookies and other data associated with a website in containers that are unique to every top-level website domain to ensure they're off-limits for every other site.
