I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.
Ask me anything.
Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

90s Music@lemmy.world•Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of...) [1999]English
0·2 days agoFun fact: It took me forever to jump into Mambo #5 because I hadn’t listened to Mambos 1-4.

0·2 days agoThat’s hilarious, and I totally understand. I listened to this song 4 times this evening and finally posted it. There’s probably still a little dopamine left in the tank if I’d play it a 5th.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•There should be an indicator when an instance no longer federates with a community besides posts no longer loadingEnglish
0·3 days agoAdded :) I also disabled the “Create Post” button if the community is on a defederated instance even though, technically, you can still post to your instance’s local copy (it just won’t federate).
Edit: This only works one way. i.e. it can only know if your instance is defederated from the community’s. If the community’s instance is defederated from yours, there will be no indicator because there’s no way to do it without a remote lookup which is both unreliable and inefficient at scale.

0·4 days agoYou mean like if there’s a community called
!cats@example.comand your home instance no longer federates with the instanceexample.com?If so, I’ll add that to Tesseract as it sounds useful.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Trying to get into MUDs - any suggestions?English
0·5 days agoMy friend got me into it, and it was the first and only MUD I ever really got into. So kind of loved it by default. I tried out a few others but never really got very far beyond the first few levels in each.
Beyond that, it was intuitive as far as MUDs went, had a massive world and lore, and was well “modded”.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the craziest/meanest thing someone has said to you or called you online. (excluding one off slurs)English
0·5 days agoTwo in the same vein:
- Someone once assumed that I used a code prettier by asking for my
.prettierrc. Nope. I just write pretty code and was legit offended at that. - Multiple times I’ve been called an AI because I (checks notes) write out my thoughts in full sentences.
There’s been worse, but I’m quick to block, and I don’t dwell on things. It’s actually pretty easy when you step back and think about the kind of person who would go online make personal attacks like that. Once you have that mental image, you quickly realize you don’t give a flying fuck what that person has to say about anything.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do people go out of their way to dodge manhole covers while driving?English
0·7 days agoIn my city, they just keep paving over the old asphalt, so the manhole covers are like 6 inches deep in some places. Hitting one of those in my sedan is not pleasant.

0·27 days agoRan into a hiccup while trying to reproduce (there seems to be considerable lag between adding a domain to the filter list and the federation processes handling it), but now that I was able to reproduce it successfully, I made a bug report: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6320

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy v0.19.4 Release - Image Proxying and Federation improvementsEnglish
0·2 years agoIf I didn’t type it, it’s putting words in my mouth.
If I want a hashtag, I’ll type one. I don’t give a fuck about Mastodon, and I resent my experience being made worse to accommodate them.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy v0.19.4 Release - Image Proxying and Federation improvementsEnglish
0·2 years agoIn order to improve interoperability with Mastodon and other microblogging platforms, Lemmy now automatically includes a hashtag with new posts.
👎🏻 No way to disable this if I don’t want hashtags cluttering up my posts. And worse, it’s Lemmy putting words in my mouth / speaking for me.
[Re: Image Proxying] The setting works by rewriting links in new posts, comments and other places when they are inserted in the database. This means the setting has no effect on posts created before the setting was activated. And after disabling the setting, existing images will continue to be proxied. It should also be considered experimental.
What an absolutely stupid way to do image proxying. Why not just dynamically re-write image URLs to use the proxy path before serving it via the API?
That way:
- It works with all content posted any time before/after the setting was activated
- It lets users decide whether they want to proxy or not
- Doesn’t break images if the home instance pict-rs is broken (which I’ve been seeing a lot of lately)
If you think “that’s not reliable” or “too hard”, I’ve been doing it successfully exactly that way in Tesseract with it’s image proxy/cache for over 8 months (on the front end…in a cave…with a box of scraps).




















I mean, if you’re not shitting your guts out after drinking a glass of tap water, then it’s clean enough.
Pure water tastes like…nothing. The minerals and such give it the good, crisp taste.
That said, my water is so hard it has comparable calcium to a glass of milk.
