You know we all escaped Reddit for greener pastures. But I have increasingly noticed that greener pastures are not to be found in the Fediverse either....
Keep in mind it can take a few minutes or longer for some votes to come in from other instances due to how federation works. Sometimes a group of votes can get backlogged and all come in at once. Other times they’ll show instantly. It’s just a minor tradeoff to using decentralized social media
When using dependencies such as NPM packages, Composer packages. Weather you use a CDN or host the packages on the web server, don’t many packages out there require you to display the licenses of the package being used and show attributions?...
You can just have a Credits/Licenses page in your legal section that lists these packages. If you’re using npm packages, you could use an npm package like nlf or license-checker to compile a list of all licenses in your dependencies
Greetings, everyone! My name is Andres, and I am the developer of LemmyApps.com. Today, I would like to share what I have been working on for the past several months....
I think this community is one that should be very straightforward. It is a community to post about lemmy apps, tools, features, comparisons, etc. It’s also a valuable space where app creators and users can interact. This makes it a special place where creators can share best practices with one another and users can share their...
EasyPanel is a hidden gem. Caprover feels very robust and the main dev is really friendly. Coolify is still under development but looks very promising.
I use Caprover mostly since it supports managing multiple servers through Docker Swarm, otherwise I’d probably be using EasyPanel.
What doesn’t line up is that most other operating systems including macOS support PWAs with different browser engines. That along with the fact that Apple announced this at the bottom of an article hidden under a collapsed menu, it really makes it seem like they’re trying to find an excuse to get rid of them without damaging their brand reputation. It’s no secret how profitable the App Store ecosystem is, and this is one more way they can pressure developers into it while shifting the blame to the EU
I know this community is for programming, but you could use a tool like n8n as a shortcut to connect services. It’s more of a drag-and-drop node grid similar to Zapier, but it’s open-source and self-hostable. You can schedule tasks to run at a certain time, code your own integrations, or install plugins that other people have made
It certainly is not that we don’t have enough content to post here or interact with because this /c/ supports crosspostung. All opinions will be considered....
I think that content all depends on how many users and apps there are—not much you can do about that.
Maybe we could have a monthly post asking people what they want in Lemmy apps (features, ideas, likes and dislikes)? That might be a good way to bring all devs and users together to think of ways to make the ecosystem better
I see talk here and there about how any company or individual can easily use anything we post on Lemmy however they want. This could include AI training, behavior analysis, or user profiling. With the recent news of Reddit data being sold and licensed for AI training, I thought this would be a great time to preemptively discuss...
You might be right, I definitely see your point. ActivityPub adds a whole new layer to this too. In the end though, isn’t the content we post no different than anything else published on the Internet? I guess it’s important to note that technically nothing public can be 100% prevented from being used in unwanted ways. However, there might be other ways (legally, socially, etc.) we could discourage it.
Regardless, I’d love to get a better sense of how much this matters to us here on Lemmy—or if it should even matter in the first place
Of course! Yeah, this post was intended to be less of a proposal and more of a brainstorm session. Maybe licenses aren’t the way to go about this, or we create our own licenses to be compatible with ActivityPub and match Lemmy’s values? Maybe it doesn’t matter how our content is used, or there’s nothing we can do?
Yep you’re right, everyone is automatically updated to the newest version. If a new update arrives while you’re using it, Lemmynade waits for a good time and automatically updates you. To see the current version anyway, tap and hold the Account tab to open the Account switcher, then tap Manage Accounts. It’ll show the version there towards the top
Yes definitely, just tested it though and looks like Lemmynade is marking some instances as unsafe when you try to log in. lemm.ee is a trusted instance so it shouldn’t be marking it that way. I’m on it and I’ll let you know when that’s fixed
The changes made to community are withdrawn because users opinions . But from now on when making a post your first word on tge title should be [NOT FOSS] or [FOSS] respectively. Also i have no intention in anything expect help new users find foss apps i hope you all understand that.
Thanks for hearing us and continuing to allow all types of apps here. FOSS is an amazing model for some projects, but some of us simply want to protect the rights of what we create or we’re looking at other models to help Lemmy become more sustainable
Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program....
Yeah of course, I’m a web dev so prepare for a partial rant :)
PWAs have kinda felt like that thing Apple has reluctantly kept around to show the world that they aren’t trying to lock you into their App Store ecosystem. They’ve always been slow to implement new PWA features and address bugs (they just added notifications last year while it’s been supported on other devices for a while now). They drip-feed developers just enough PWA features and fixes to keep their brand image up, but not too much to where it could grow to threaten to their App Store profits.
Now, it feels like they finally have someone else to blame for getting rid of PWAs so they don’t look bad doing it themselves. It’s the moment they’ve been waiting for. They can keep their brand image looking good, and cut something out that has the potential to affect a bit of their profits. I would not be surprised if they start incrementally dropping PWA support the next chance they get.
Now, the only way to release an app-like experience for EU customers (one with notifications and other native features) is by going through their App Store ecosystem in some way. Meanwhile, macOS has PWA support and the ability to use whatever browser engine you’d like.
Granted, I haven’t looked in-depth into what these new policies are requiring of Apple, but for those of us that have spent years wresting with iOS Safari (sometimes called the new Internet Explorer) it sure leaves a bad taste. At the very least, it’d be nice to have some resources and recommendations from them beyond a small announcement/apology inside a collapsed menu at the bottom of a page.
