Why Facebook does not use Git – and why most other devs do • DEVCLASS in c/programming
[–] AnActOfCreation 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's very optimistic to think people will be able to describe what they're going to do before they do it. I find things rarely go exactly as planned and my commit messages usually include some nuance about my changes that I didn't anticipate.

Got it! Are they renumbered chronologically? Like if my 11 was created before your 11, would yours be the one that's renumbered?

Commit IDs are only local anyway.

Whay do you mean by that?

New alternate frontend: Tesseract. Photon now semi-supported in c/meta
[–] AnActOfCreation 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Due to a recent swap in Photon's tooling we are unable to update to later versions of Photon. As such, for now the alternate frontend will exist frozen and will continue to exist in the future until either: a new lemmy version breaks that version of the frontend or the issues are fixed and upgrading becomes possible again.

Is there a GitHub issue related to this problem that we can follow to see whether Photon addresses this issue?

A Roku stick requires the Roku streaming service to be functioning to be useful.

That's not true at all. You could use a Roku with only Plex/Jellyfin and it would be immensely useful.

What email client are you guys using? in c/[email protected]

Thunderbird with the conversations add-on. It's a game-changer that makes it much easier to transition from Gmail.

And on a post I made to World, I only got comments from here.

I think they were referring to the text (transcription) of the post, not the image. And yes it looks like OCR.

It can be encrypted...

Seeing a lot of cake icons lately (meaning it's been a year you have been here, which makes sense if you got here during the Reddit API changes), so happy Lemmyversary to most of you! in c/[email protected]

Thunder just added them in anticipation of all the birthdays coming up from the June/July migration (but the feature isn't in a release yet).

Hey all! I'm wondering if someone can help me pick between these two apps. They seem to be the most commonly recommended Android front-ends for OpenStreetMaps, but I'm wondering what the pros/cons/differences are. Thanks in advance!

Cloud storage solution? (self.asklemmy)
 

Hey Lemmy, what do you recommend for cloud backup? OneDrive is now locking me out due to apparently breaking their terms of service, so it's just the push I need to find something else.

I know everyone recommends Nextcloud for self-hosted, but I'm looking to pay for something where I'll get a little more reliability.

I'm seeing mixed reviews of Proton Drive so I'd be curious if anyone has experience with that, especially compared to OneDrive.

Thanks in advance!
