Why the fediverse chick chopped asl 😭
It is very likely that the photo of "the fediverse chick" belongs to a real person who has nothing to do with any of this. They would likely be absolutely horrified to know that their face was used for stuff like this. Please be mindful of harming the likely victim here.
Clickbait titles suck
Haha I was using the API incorrectly. I was pushing the image in form.custom_thumbnail while form.url was empty. Apparently, u can't do that.
If u have an image only post, then u have to put the image uri in form.url. the custom_thumbnail is only there if you already have some other link.
Lemmy's documentation is really lacking. Unfortunately, contributing to it is a little complicated too (for lemmy-js-client), that is

Sorry, this will be the last image test for today. I'm getting a discrepancy between the size of the compressed image and the actual size of the file on the server.
Why does the fart jar in the picture have a spoon in it?
Aww thank you so much!!! <333
Start weighing EVERYTHING. The consistency your dishes reach is crazy good! A weighing scale isn't that expensive

<3 wow it is a big coincidence! i wish your lemmy client app becomes very famous :D
Awww thanks!! <3
is it an ios app?
Yes, eventually. I'm developing in react native (one codebase, many platforms). I own an Android though, so all physical testing is on this phone. Therefore, all alphas and stuff like that are being built for Android for now. Unfortunately, building and testing for iOS is a massive pain in the ass. I think I would have to take the help of some iOS dev for this in the future/get an old iPhone or something.
do you want to share the link if it is available for everyone to download?
Aww thanks for the interest! It's not ready enough imo to share it publicly for now. However, it's getting there quickly! Can't wait for the day I can share the repo link on the Lemmy app development communities!
How about this - you go to the toilet when you actually want to shit, and doomscroll comfortably somewhere else?
It's still a step in the right direction tho, eh? Of course, it needs other policies in addition to it like:
So dumb. That's one of the only ways they get to be more influential. Otherwise, single voter FPTP is going to get them fucked

I'm really hoping for a minority Liberal + NDP government with an electoral reform deal. Imo it's the most important policies that need to be passed.
I do not understand this meme. Is this directed at trans women? If yes, why would you want to smash your penis? Wouldn't it hurt really really bad?
Sigh... Another thing I want but can't get :(
Wait, what's an anime train???
From now on, I'm going to call it the "Pacific ocean", where the first c is pronounced as "c" and the last one as "c".
Also what a missed opportunity to call it the pacifi-c! Get it? The pacifi-sea? I'm very funny I know haha I should start a standup comedy show I will earn millions and I will become rich and famous and make my homies proud. Baking a cake requires four ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder and grandma's heart. By heart, I mean her love. Not her heart actually. That will kill her. But she is already dead :( I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(.
collabora office; i will check this out as well! thanks! are they open source?
They're the commercial wing of LibreOffice from what I know for enterprise.
thank you so much for the suggestions; do you know if there is a way to use Organic Maps on iphone?
No worries <3! Isn't it on the App store? On looking it up, it shows that it's available here. I don't know though, as I don't own any Apple devices.
I did use LibreOffice many years ago ... i should give it a try once again.
Definitely! I'm a sucker for the native gtk apps. So I may be a little biased when I say this, but it's WAY better than Microsoft office from a UI standpoint. All Microsoft products just feel cheap to me.
also, you have no idea how happy you made me by giving me my first comment on my first lemmy post!!
Awww I'm so glad haha. Guess what? I'm developing a Lemmy client app right now, and this is the first "real" comment I made which was outside the pure test oriented comments! Interesting firsts, eh?
Really cool picture!
cries in the corner cuz fkin house flies got more game than me
Try using Organic Maps for OSM. Much more beautiful than osmAnd imo. As for office, try using LibreOffice. Very beautiful and smooth software!

In the most disturbing geopolitical shift of my lifetime, the new US government is siding with dictators and lashing out at allies, waging economic war on Canada with the repeated stated goal of ending our sovereignty. While many Americans are also horrified, realistically their focus right now is internal. We need to stand up, strengthen our country, and reorient to friendlier nations. In this video I talk to three experts to learn how we can strengthen our economy by building more, especially critical needs of housing and transportation.

"Yankee, Go Home!" - Canadian Anti-Trump Song

Lyrics: What's our life and freedom worth When a tyrant seeks our earth, Aiming to subdue our land with greedy hand? But we'll stand against his might, Canada won't yield this fight, And we'll shout across our free and sovereign land:
Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say "goodbye" to your grand schemes, Don't tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands! Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say "goodbye" to your grand schemes, Don't tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem proudly sings, Canada stands!
Trump and his cronies proclaim Canada should play their game, "Join us as the fifty-first state", they demand. But our spirit won't be sold, Freedom's worth more than their gold, We'll resist their grasp with every steadfast hand.
Go home, Yankee! Yankee, go home! Keep your deals and go back home. Say "goodbye" to your grand schemes, Don't tread on our hopes and dreams. As our anthem pro

YouTube shorts disproportionately promotes alt-right content according to this experiment
Click to view this content.
TLDR if you don't wanna watch the whole thing: Benaminute (the Youtuber here) creates a fresh YouTube account and watches all recommended shorts without skipping. They repeat this 5 times, where they change their location to a random city in the US.
Below is the number of shorts after which alt-right content was recommended. Left wing/liberal content was never recommended first.
There however, was a certain pattern to this. First, non-political shorts were recommended. After that, AI Jesus shorts started to be recommended (with either AI Jesus talking to you, or an AI narrator narrating verses from the Bible). After this, non-political shorts by alt-right personalities (Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, etc.) started to be recommended. Finally, explicitly alt-right shorts started to be recommended.
