Kagi’s pretty good and has a Fediverse search feature, but it’s paid. I don’t mind paying, but there’s also no way to do private searches that way, so I’m not going to use it as my main search engine. It’s been good at hunting down memes on Lemmy that I want to find again though.

Good timing, I was just wondering about the API and posted a question over there 👍

Good call, edited to add a warning

Is this a thread for recommending communities that aren’t politics, news, memes, or tech? If so, here’s some comic-related communities:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected] (generally NSFW!)
• [email protected]

And a few other miscellaneous communities:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]

Admins can purge users/posts/comments, which actually deletes it from the server

Hell yeah, it’ll be nice to have an answer other than “🤷” for people that want embedded loops 👍

Wow, that was quick, amazing! 🥳

Cool, that’s good to hear. The good news is that if it comes down to parsing the HTML, that’s pretty straightforward. I’ve been poking at it, and it’s nice and semantic (gets turned into a regular <video> element by JS:

And hopefully it’ll get open source soon or have some way of filing bugs/feature requests. I saw that the dev created https://joinloops.org/ and is planning on putting a roadmap there soon.

Neat! Since it’s come up a lot in [email protected], are there any plans on having loops embed as well? Do you know if that’s something the Lemmy devs would support once for everyone, or would every client have to add support for it?

Thanks!

Any details about the system? Is it something off-the-shelf, or custom-made? Is it using something fancy like transformer models? I’m guessing that would be too expensive

What makes it nonsense?

Since I tried searching for the URL and didn’t find it, but happened to see this thread, you can see more info and sign up here:

C is definitely still king, but I wonder if crABI will eventually be able to dethrone it:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111423

If they can define a useful ABI that manages to include lifetimes, that might just be enough of an improvement to get people to switch over from assuming the C ABI everywhere.

What don’t you like about Cargo? Is there another package manager you like more?

Yeah, it’s totally not ready for that amount of influx. To be fair, it’s not even out of beta. I don’t think even the dev would claim it’s ready for that scale yet. Hopefully it’ll be ready the next time an event like that happens

The cool kids are forcing people to read this at gunpoint nowadays

The new build 11 released yesterday lets you see only loops from people you follow. There’s also a “For You” option that I assume will eventually do what you’re looking for. Right now it shows loops sorted by newest, like before

Not going crazy. It’s always been intended to be part of the Fediverse, it’s just under heavy development and adding ActivityPub support is something the dev is working on right now.

TBH, I think this is a little counterproductive. It makes corporate social media seem like a delicious treat. Exhorting people to do the right thing like “eat your veggies” probably isn’t the best way to convince them. Something like this seems like a better comparison. Something bad for you and gross, but uses flashy marketing to convince you otherwise:
