From a quick Google, it seems like Mullenweg is a complete jackass

Isn’t that what “classic” confinement is supposed to solve?

Mozilla’s next largest source of revenue is subscriptions and advertising (source 2021 financial report), by a wide margin. That “useless shit” is their other revenue, and they’re investing in it because they know they need to diversify revenue to fund Firefox. You’re suggesting they kill it because it’s not their core (unprofitable) business?

Making a breaking change to the mobile API alao breaks old outdated installations of the app. Websites and their APIs are usually synced, apps not so.

If they were really motivated to stop your method, they could just obfuscate the frontend with webpack and break your scraper every time they make an update.

Is there a reason you’re scraping data rather than attaching a network sniffer/reverse engineering the official apps and documenting the results?

If by conversation you mean asking for a word by describing it conceptually because I can’t remember, every day. If you mean telling it about my day and hobbies, never.

Guy’s profile picture is literally of Joseph Goebbels. I don’t think their opinion has much weight, nor are they worth spending time arguing with

Do you have a data feed to pull from, or some kind of list of matches? It shouldn’t be too hard to use a simple python script to parse a file and post automatically on a schedule. I maintain a repo that doesn’t exactly match your use case, but I could maybe add your functionality depending on complexity

Here’s my favourite picture of her.

I think the Rabbit R1 is an underbaked and dumb product. That said, Rabbit would have had to have had a few too many kicks to the head if they seriously considered not just running Android under the hood. Android is open source, and there is no good reason to not utilize the hundreds of millions of dollars that Google has already poured into developing mature a mature operating system with all the drivers and frameworks they need.

As a moderator of a couple communities, some basic/copypasta misbehaviour is caught by automated bots that I largely had to bootstrap or heavily modify myself. Near everything else has to be manually reviewed, which obviously isn’t particularly sustainable in the long term.

Improving the situation is a complex issue, since these kinds of tools often require a level of secrecy incompatible with FOSS principles to work effectively. If you publicly publish your model/algorithm for detecting spam, spammers will simply craft their content to avoid it by testing against it. This problem extends to accessing third party tools, such as specialised tools Microsoft and Google provide for identifying and reporting CSAM content to authorities. They are generally unwilling to provision their service to small actors, IMO in an attempt to stop producers themselves testing and manipulating their content to subvert the tool.

Just use Kotlin

Never? I wouldn’t tolerate it and wouldn’t work at a place that did

Likewise, an open source project can totally die if they refuse to engage with the needs of the users. The lack of moderation and content management tools have been a longstanding criticism of Lemmy, and instances will migrate to alternatives that address these concerns. It is a genuine legal liability for instance operators if they are unable to sufficiently delete CSAM/illegal content or comply with EU regulations.

The violence against Palestinians is the reason for this. Zionism/Israel is a cause of the violence. They create the very situation they say they want to end.

If they want the walls to come down and the blockade to end, they need to show a commitment to peace, rather than a commitment to genocide.

Ah yes “From the River to the Sea, we support Israel’s apartheid regime”, very famous quote. From Mr. Hamas himself I believe.

Then I’m sure you won’t have a difficult time finding a quote where they support Israel’s maintenance of an apartheid state

They’d probably be pretty happy with an end to the apartide state
