  • Who's up for a challenge?

  • I wasn't aware of that. I guess it was thought to be a mod driven community. Anyway... Cool question. I hope we will see some creative solutions here.

  • Are you interested in working on a text editor? If so, I have an idea I plan on implementing myself for fun: a clone of HeyNote with some added functionality. HeyNote is a simple buffer that consists of blocks. It's useful when you just want to note a simple block of text (an SQL query, log output, test data) but you are not interested in structuring it. What HeyNote lacks is the ability to add title and tags to blocks. It's not an alternative to other note taking applications. It is just a buffer with unrelated blocks in it.

  • Why does isalpha() fail to identify an alphabetic character?

  • Please consider posting language specific questions to language specific communities in the future. For example, !c_lang@programming.dev

  • Instance languages

    Jump

  • Thanks for the response. It sucks to not have language being set in some implementations of ActivityPub. I think separating the write language settings from the read language settings would help a bit to set the corrent language when writing, at least. But I suspect that needs to be fixed in the core Lemmy (not instance specific).

  • Programming.Dev Feature Requests

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I meant by non-elegant. I think the way Lemmy assigns IDs to posts and comments should be re-thought. Dictionary lookup is a solution, but not a good one.

  • I believe there is an API to convert such a link, but detecting that a link is going to a Lemmy instance might be difficult (or non-elegant).

  • This is great. I think "instance post/comment links" would be a great addition to Lemmy core in general, but don't know how easy it would be to implement. What I have in mind is: when someone provides a link to a post/comment in another instance, it would be converted to a link the person is logged in from. I think it would be OK to leave the link as is but add an icon next to it that goes to the correct URL for that instance.

  • how do you spend your learning budget your company provides you with?

    Jump

  • I have had Pluralsight for many years now and I agree with you. In some cases they have excellent courses, but I sometimes find the content outdated. I plan to explore O'Reily's platform next year. They seem to have a different set of resources and are comparable in price.

  • My comments are missing from some posts?

  • Strange. Thanks for checking.

  • No, since you are an admin I thought you might have a different view of things when you legged in.

  • Do you still see them when you log out (or use Incognito/Private)?

  • How to store a password for a desktop client?

    Jump

  • As far as I know, the correct way of handling authentication for a desktop applications is using OAuth and "Authentication Code with PKCE" flow. This way, you won't have to store the password at all.

    But Lemmy doesn't support OAuth as of now. So, if you want users to be able to use the application without entering credentials, you will have two options:

    1. Store the password under current user
    2. Store the token you receive after the login (the token doesn't expire)

    Lemmy may decide to expire tokens in the future (that's the correct thing to do, in my opinion).

  • My comments are missing from some posts?

    Jump

  • Yes, I see them there. Is it possible that a higher level comment you are replying to has been deleted?

  • My comments are missing from some posts?

    Jump

  • I don't see your comments. But I cannot see snowe's comments that you replied to, either. I suspect those comments are dangling for some reason.

    Edit: I cannot tell the comment structure, but could it be such that a high/top level comment you are responding is deleted?

  • Community Link Fixer updated

    Jump

  • I believe there is already a browser add on for this. Cannot remember the name right now.

    Edit: I think this should be in Lemmy core.
