I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or "just asking questions" stuff.
I'm generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of folks' views.
Btw, checked on this again and it still appears to be the case. Also interestingly, it applies to sorting posts as well, whether set to Local or All.
Is this a personal project where you just want to have a GUI for a specific system?
Mainly this tbh, in which case the answer for myself would be to limit to preferred platform, so I'll focus mainly on desktops. I've skimmed over web stuff and it gets brambly fast from what I can tell, which also applies for cross-platform in terms of devices as you've reminded me. 😅 Overall it's to simply learn how, as I enjoy good GUIs and think it might be nice to be able to make some.
Thanks, I think that will help!
Tbh it's not really what I was going for for learning GUI stuff, it's just the language I'm more familiar with. It sounds like you have something that may be better in mind, in which case what might that be? Also to clarify, I'm more interested in desktop-based GUI programming/development.
Oof, sorry, slipped my mind! I'd meant desktop-based (or device-based may be better these days?).
Is there something else like the Qt designer for working with PyQt/PySide? I looked on their site and even dug through to the open source licensed versions, but all the available installers seem to insist on making an account to proceed with installation. If that's a no-go, then I may still try it at some point just without that tool.
...Dryad? Is that you?
do you have horticultural tips for growing big bananas?
...Given the presence of Stonehenge, what kept the ancient peoples of Great Britain from making their own pyramids anyway? I'm guessing it's to do with different sociocultural arrangements, but was there any absence of resources that may have also contributed?
Regarding your question about lock-in, if I understand it correctly, you are targeting the kernel really, thats the “engine”. So “lock-in” is about the same as you choosing which OS to target.
I may have been using the wrong terminology. Going off another reply here what I was referring to may also be called an orchestrator? So by this I was referring to software like Docker and possibly getting tied up in it.
This Meshtastic, I take it? I haven't personally used it, but it sounds interesting! Not too surprising there's not much info about it though, as it does sound rather niche.
Yeah, let me try to break it down better:
I think I've observed this issue more often after recently syncing All Feeds and trying to scroll through them without closing and reopening the app.
But you think I should eat this or simply post back a picture of it in the sub?
Should let it sit in the sauce (pinneapple juice + mayo) for a bit or eat it right away?
Post a pic, and for the second, can you set part of it aside to let it sit so you could compare and note the Ick or Yum levels?
I'm not familiar with those, so this might be a bad suggestion, but the short description makes me think this may still fit, have you read The City & the City by China Miéville?
It's set in two overlapping cities, whose inhabitants diligently disregard the other city's until they formally cross the borders, and it's a crime to do otherwise. It's a pretty compelling read imo!
would you starve a hole?
I gotcha. Fwiw I kind of agree, even beyond Lemmy I've been a little surprised some of these sites/instances haven't done more to tailor themselves to accommodate more folks or focus on specific demographics.
That's supposed to be one of the big perks of the federation approach, being able to create more distinct communities, but outside of a few, they largely seem to run the software as-is, maybe with some backend adjustments to help reduce the costs of operation or the like.
Have you seen the shitpost communities? Cleverness isn't required, and in fact I think in those communities it's somewhat frowned upon, 'cause c'mon, no polishing shit!
While I don't entirely disagree, I'm a little confused by your description of the front page of lemm.ee, which we're both on. My front page when viewing All here is mostly memes/shitposts/news/technology when set to Active sort, is yours not?
I've admittedly blocked a fair amount and have show NSFW/bot posts disabled, but the communities you mention aren't affected by that.
Do you visit here/Reddit for some news alongside other stuff, or more other stuff than news?
If the latter, you can somewhat avoid the rhetoric back & forth by blocking out a lot of the news communities, but then you do run into the general content problem more (especially if you're also blocking memes).
Thanks, checked and looks like it is!
