Don’t repost my comment onto github issue 317, I’ve commented there already.

A tagging is something that would be very nice to have and I’m in full support of it. Anyways here are the parts that I’d like to see implemented:

• Communities can have inbuilt tags that apply to every post
• Users can add tags of their own to a post
• There should be reasonable limits to how many tags can be placed and federate (I suggest 5 of each type)
• Communities should optionally have a filter list of what tags are permitted to be assigned and anything outside of that is discarded from the post
• Instances can maintain a list of “popular tags in the last day” etc. (a /trending page)
• The endpoint for aggregating local, subscribed and Fediverse posts by tag is a big feature and should be prioritized. e.g. server.com/t/gaming
• An endpoint for filtering posts by tag is desirable: server.com/c/community/t/discussion for example. This could be implemented similarly but separately as a flair, possibly.
• Tags should be a separate field entirely to the post body if possible, otherwise they should exclusively be written at the end of the body, to avoid parts of the body text incorrectly picked up as a tag
• An instance’s slur filter should apply to the tags
• Users should have the option to not display tags
• Backwards compatibility doesn’t have to be perfect but should be kept in mind (e.g. can the tagged and untagged versions of lemmy still federate, etc.)
• How tags on Lemmy will federate and display on other ActivityPub servers is a consideration.

I’ll add: I think having a limit on number of tags, not just the number displayed is important, to ensure people actually curate their topics correctly, it limits stupid tags like #lol that you’d see on tumblr and it prevents bots that tag everything with 100 tags from appearing everywhere.

There is the greyed out post title on Jerboa from the list. Sometimes you have to refresh your feed for it to be marked as read.

Always be wary of downloading random people’s files, but you can try my fork which implements some of the 0.35 features (until June 15) but is before the v18 update:

There’s a Room Database version issue going from version 34 to 33. To downgrade you have to fully uninstall the app then install it, installing over the existing will cause the app to crash immediately on startup.

There is also version 35 out now.

Guacamelee is Free on Epic until Thursday this week for anyone that wants it.

Moving out is hilarious and fun but it does take quite a bit of teamwork to get the gold medals.

AI might in the medium-term change our vernacular but it won’t be for the worse, generally, and most people won’t feel much of a change in most contexts.

I liken it to the invention of the steamshovel excavator. Now your average worker doesn’t need massive muscles to get work done quickly, but it’s not like shovels went away for good, it’s still used in parts of projects.

Sure, I think the tankie and extremely pro-CCP/Kremlin views expressed by the developers and lemmygrad server members are outright dumb. But I do appreciate that they leave room for all of us of differing views to exist without constantly clashing, by creating this federated system.

You know you’ve done well when you’ve made something that’s bigger than yourself and your own interests.

You are mostly correct, but from my understanding the “Game Porting Toolkit” system isn’t just the CodeWeavers’ WINE part but also includes the Rosetta x64 to ARM translator and the D3DMetal translation layer as well. So through those layers many instructions can fall through the cracks.

All in all, neat that games can even be played on a Mac in the first place, but you still get relatively bad performance, restrictive licensing on use, worse compatibility than Proton. That’s living in Apple’s wonderful walled garden, for ya.

Loving the Reddit dumpster fire thumbnail image they included. Mostly covering TheVerge’s Huffman interview and pointing out how dumb he sounds as CEO.

I think things will more or less settle over time. I do think there will still be different communities with the same name that serve different purposes, similar to worldnews vs. USnews vs. news vs. anime_titties on Reddit. Over here, each one can be called news, but just be on different servers.

It’s not like building a hydroelectric dam, this is stuff on the edge of science, so of course you can’t get an accurate budget or timeline estimate. The 10 years was probably to placate governments and fundraiser members.

For Carl!

Well stone tablets, writing, songs, culture can disappear with time, either naturally (such as erosion and weather) or through human action (such burning books, destructive investigation of ancient artifacts/ruins)

That’s why we try to keep good records.

I have a feeling we will get Nintendo Wii Games to court what will become “retro nostalgia”.

It’s a simple solution, Comcast. Don’t charge any fee you aren’t willing to spend the effort to disclose.
