A few podcasts I listen to have switched to calling their bluesky handles out instead of their twitter handles in their outros. I’ll probably install it and delete ex/twitter when I get an invite.

He also shrieked about bots, and now he parades his own around.

I’m not familiar with code.golf but I wonder how whitespace is handled? I find python is very concise anyway, but I wonder how the white space is counted (single tab, four spaces for black, etc).

You just need to be a moderator of any subreddit. The subreddit itself doesn’t need to be NSFW. The idea is that moderators could have a need to evaluate NSFW content on user profiles to make moderation decisions.

Just be aware that in the fediverse everyone sees what you up and down vote.

There’s an update that makes you login again. It installed for me yesterday. After the update get an annoying locked post from u/redditmaturecontent telling you to go to Reddit access NSFW content now.

Oh, that’s interesting. I was hoping a scraper would emerge. Stealth’s scraper (currently) doesn’t seem to actually display content that is marked nsfw. Maybe they haven’t yet figured out how to detect/accept the confirm 18+ barrier on old.reddit.com.

They’re all on rdrama.net

RedReader is working fine for me. Reddit itself is being flaky.

The Infinity dev says he’s working on a subscription version that is not ready yet.

There was another app developer doing that also (Boost? Not sure) and the developer said Reddit gave him and his users some grace period to get the new version out.

Kbin is essentially the same as Lemmy.

I also would say I don’t think the graphic is correct about the way “all” works. I’m pretty sure “all” is content from all local and remote communities any local users have subscribed to (which is shaped both by local user activity by the federation graph that local and remote server admins control). Communities on servers that admins have defederated from will not appear in “all”.

So… individual local users and admins shape the “all” feed. I don’t think there’s any way to get a global feed of all Lemmy activity.

Well, he is going to try to make a subscription Infinity.

But I’ve already moved on to RedReader because the dev is fully on my wavelength. He got the accessibility exception and continues to openly trash Reddit in a very gentlemanly, polite way. His goal now is to diversify the app to non-Reddit sites before Reddit doesn’t need him as a PR shield. Hopefully he’s able to add Lemmy and kbin support soon.

The RedReader app’s use of menus is… slightly different than apps I have used in the past but it has sort of grown on me. It has a, “yeah I can see why Stephan Hawking would have used this sort of thing” vibe, but at the same time it’s actually not tedious or difficult to use once you get the hang of it.

Are there? Must be a bigsub/shill thing.

Huh That’s odd. The MSN bullshit is what I see in bing. DDG always is great. I wonder if it’s because I’m mostly comparing Edge+Bing vs Firefox+DDG and Firefox is the magic?

DDG is really good for my English searches. I was shocked yo learn that it relies on Bing because Bing searches are always trash for me.

Huh. That’s odd because bing search sucks and DDG does not. Work IT forces Edge+Bing as default at each Citrix login so force of habit url bar searches wind up there first somewhat often. So then I immediately go to DDG and search and find what I want… that’s a poser. On my own machines/phone I use Firefox with DDG as default search engine.

Have you heard of the Dead Internet Theory? When I heard that it put a name to how Reddit has felt for a while. Mostly I’m on the “avoid main subreddits” camp and a I’m in a few small communities. Wierdo communities but the wierdo feels genuine.

A long time ago Reddit used to have a rule against self-promotion. It got tricky though to get definitions. Selfposts were fine if the didn’t link out with obvious “buy my shit” type things. With selftext it sort of made sense. But then you had artists showing something they had painted… Is that self-promotion? And then there were the wars over whether theoatmeal should be banned and admin took theoatmeal’s side and pissed everyone off. So then people started to aggressively promote their content and only feared moderators. Nowadays a lot of it is “I wrote this” and “I made this video” etc. And it’s a really difficult hair to split. Some people I don’t mind doing that. But other times it’s just missing the filter of any third-party evaluating it as interesting enough to be submitted. Dunno. Lately reddit just feels like a room full of salesmen and bots a lot of places on Reddit. Even the smaller subreddits are full of people pushing YouTubers or other celebrities.

Just about everything is modifiable in matplotlib… It may not be easy, but all plotting libraries are designed to make some things easy at the expense of making other tasks more difficult. For matplotlib you just have to think about things the way matlab thinks about things… which is more computer graphics based. It can get ugly until you understand it. But if you understand how any plotting library actually works it’s not that bad. All plotting libraries ultimately are built on graphical primitives like lines and fonts and triangles and patches computing where things belong by transforming coordinates and feeding them to a layout engine. It’s not as magical as the APIs make them seem. So if you’re willing to dig into their bowels (as OP mentions) there really aren’t any many limits. Sometimes it’s actually easiest to just declare a canvas in memory and draw it all by hand. Ultimately, things are either vector or raster formats (or some abstraction that supports both) and fed into some computer graphics engine (like postscript or some OS’s or GPU canvas).

Anyway, sometimes the easiest answer is you export and edit the labels in the final figure. One really nasty way if you don’t have PS or PDF tools is to sidetrack through Windows EMF and mess with fonts and positioning of text in PowerPoint.

FWIW Google’s Play Store segments star ratings by your own device and software level. So everyone is probably going to see something different.

I think they use the unauthenticated .rss and .json routes (which is why they are read-only). The reddit website itself currently relies on these. It’s unclear whether reddit may lock them down in the future but it would likely require frontend updates on their end and massively break mod tools even more than what they’re already doing.
