Glad to see it. Is anybody else having trouble with the space bar writing “v” or “c” instead if space? It seems I have to be focused on hitting the bar near the bottom for it to work.

True, but I was thinking of something with a GUI that helps one delete duplicates selectively.

Another problem is extensions like expressvpn and keypass won’t work, probably due to the sandboxing.

If you’d find one I’d be interested in hearing what it is. As an alternative, you might be able to use a Linux app while connected through MTP.

Lower level languages are definitely helpful in learning how computers work. When I was in college, I was not taught C, but our algorithms course was in C. We were expected to learn it on our own.

lisp and Prolog were used for AI - those we learned in class. Assembly was the ultimate “get intimate with the machine” language, and we wrote a simple compiler for VMS.

All of this is meant to help us understand how to work with machines. It doesn’t mean that that’s how we should work with machines. Sometimes the higher level language is the better choice. Sometimes it is not. We are expected to make that decision based on the situation at hand.

Can you counter those for those of us who are spectators?

I suppose the question is whether Rust is worth the extra work. I know nothing of rust. I know C#, JavaScript, and some other web app tools. Is Rust significantly better than those? Are there enough developers interested in Rust to encouage robust participation?

Can Lemmy handle plugins in a language agnostic way? If so, that might be a better route. Again,I am not advocating anything, just raising questions that can lead to an informed decision.

I don’t know the backstory to this. My view in General on open source projects is that the people who initiate those projects and manage those projects generally have final say. If enough people disagree a fork will naturally occur.

However I’m a little uncomfortable with the idea of claiming that they should not curate and control how their own project is managed. I’m here labor of love should not be forcefully taken from them. They have reasons for their decisions and it is their baby.

If you believe that a large number of users want the features that you want, then by all means Fork it. We will find out over time if you are right. And that is how it works. There should be no animosity.

I, too, started using it, and i’m impressed.

I started Reddit almost 2 years ago, and used Infinity. I avoided all social media since MyPage but finally gave in for Reddit. It was Toxic, then it went to hell in a handbasket like Twitter.

I’m using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can’t decide which is better, so I’m interested in others people love.

Am I the only one here who uses backintime? It is easy to use and supports incremental backups.
