I’m shocked, I say. Shocked!
The idea of an app being used to gather additional date from a customer!

Thanks for the post, it persuaded me to get off my bottom and add another one to the list.
Just for context, the full database of feddit.uk compresses down to about 4GB. I am not sure what’s going to happen to the ghosts long term, but I don’t think storage will be a huge issue.
And the shoe will probably drop at some point. Something like “communities must have nitro to access posts from more than 6 months ago”.
Or that 50% of the users on the discord only went there to find one thing, and probably won’t ever interact again.
So it looks like a bigger community, while losing accessibility.
Why Discord took off as a medium to replace forums is beyond me
My theory is that it was used as the primary form of informal communication by groups doing something, then it felt like a community.
And since everyone was there…Why not put the documentation there? Sure, it’s not indexable, but the group is open-sign-up, right? Right?
Then a few years down the line, someone suggests switching to another primary storage location…Then faces huge amounts of push-back from people comfy sitting on discord.
Give it a few years, and that’ll be the price for a 4 pack of sausage rolls.
What’s even more crazy, is Adobe has a system called something like “docusign”, where you can just fill the document in in-browser.
I’m fortunate that I haven’t yet hit a form I couldn’t just edit in GIMP!
I’m still of the opinion that the basic message app should only be SMS.
Then anything else should be its own thing. Mixing the two is a recipe for disaster, where it’s a consumer product.
I tried to disable the atom cores on the £2000 laptop recently.
It took me about 10 mins not finding it in the BIOS, to discover that HP just doesn’t have an option for it.
Somebody stop her!
Generic orange juice is a commodified product (ie, you can order a standard 1 tonne of frozen orange juice whenever).
The freezing process destroys a lot of the flavour, so some rind extract is included to bulk up the taste.
Freshly squeezed still has the original flavour, and not the added rind flavour.
(I didn’t look this up, mind, it’s possibly I’ve just repeated an old wives tale!)
feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That’s hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.
Plus our time, but we’re obviously doing it as a labour of love.
Admins that access the post through their instance can currently see the votes.
Someone explained it to me that a lot of the downvoting is people browsing all, then getting annoyed and downvoting when they see things they’re not interested in :|
Sounds good to me. If you’re getting a builder to do it, you’re almost definitely better off with whatever system they’re happy using.
Everyone will have their preference that they feel most comfortable with.
Honestly, I reckon it’s 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. Over 25 years, it’ll probably do the same job.

Necropost, but did you choose one in the end?
I’ve just had to DIY an EPDM, and honestly…It’s not horrible to work with, and if done properly shouldn’t have any issues.
It’s amazing, and I really hope the project to restore it goes well.
All I find digging in my garden is bricks and chicken wire.
Going by Canadian cheese prices, that’s like smashing someone in the face with a gold brick. (possible wrapped in a slice of lemon)
I’ve found this when trying to get a decent USB>9-pin Serial connector.
You think it’s your software, or something weird going wrong. Then you swap over a name-brand adapter, and the thing just works.
