  • That you! Idk how to explain the fediverse to my mainstream social media friends, but I think a good step 1 is giving them an intuitive front end.

    I would love to eventually onboard people to Lemmy and PieFed through Blorp, but that’s a whole other challenge. Idk how to explain the fediverse to people. In a perfect world, I think people who stumbled across Blorp would figure it out with no prior Fediverse knowledge. Idk how to get there.





  • Idk. There’s a lot of Lemmy clients and many of them are really good. When I started, Voyager didn’t have good support for larger screens, but I think that has changed. I do think I have the best account switching. Voyager will reset the current navigation when you change accounts. Any pages you have open will be cleared. Blorp does not do that. Blorp is also cross platform like Voyager.

    But honestly if you prefer another app, you should use it! All the frontend devs are super cool!


  • Yes! I think I might need Mbin to implement the resolve_object endpoint first. I don’t think they have that currently. Basically I need some way to look up posts by activity pub id. There’s also a strong possibility I won’t implement all of Mbin’s functionality. I might just implement the parts that are most similar to Lemmy. But if you’re looking for one app to login to Lemmy, PieFed, and Mbin, I would like to be that app.







  • Idk why this is getting downvoted. Sounded wholesome. I can see people disagreeing on the giving up hobbies party, but it’s also really easy to make judgments from an outside perspective. Me and my partner do have hobbies and we do appreciate our alone time, but I also aspire to do more puzzles and quality time things together.





  • Last I checked electric still required a significant amount of emissions for power generation. Only the car itself is “clean” energy. There is also a significant amount of emissions in manufacturing the electric car. I believe we should start phasing out gas cars asap and build a more green power grid. Personally, I bought a used gas car which I believe is more economic and better for the environment than a new gas car. And I live in a more walkable area now, so I do much more walking than I used to. I know I’m still contributing to the problem, but I’m trying to be better.




  • It’s been a year or so since I’ve gone down this rabbit hole, but what I remember, the more you block ads and tracker, the more unique your browser becomes, and the more fingerprintable it is.

    Tor’s approach is to make every instance if the tor browser look as identical as possible to websites. But Tor is pretty niche. If Apple did the same with Safari, you would be an identical device in a match larger pool of devices.

    I think Apple has taken some measures, but not as well as Tot has.
