Hope to run into some of them, some day. Has he gotten around to it yet?

Only on Reddit for a couple communities. But, Lemmy kind of became my main Social site overall. Replaced all of them for me.

Get enough personal funding for my parents to be taken care of.

Then build indie games for the rest of my life. Making single person RPGs. Where the stories can fill the void of my need to write novels. And the themes being a culmination of all the games I have played that had a role in guiding some sense of morality or drama. Such as the last mission on Halo Reach or the Mass Effect Trilogy, or Outer Wilds etc.

I’d want to compose, do the artwork, and the development for this, an all-out love letter to this form of storytelling. Spending years fine tuning every single detail as if it’s an elaborate sculpture. Details so small the crescendos of the OST, exactly match animations and playable cutscenes. All until, I feel I have reached a personal magnum opus, of the games released thus far.

And then say good bye. Moving on and living a simple life.

My saves are getting monopolized by your memes 😂

Ah yes! I almost do that already. With RSS as well. So you can combine communities and RSS Feeds, not mastodon users yet though. It's kind of fun standardizing all the different ActivityPub implementations into a single data model. Mastodon timelines or users are essentially whole communities.

To be honest, building a web-version of that pipeline as a NPM package might be helpful for others, piping in all the different types of fediverse content into a single stream.

I've had an idea, that I could easily pivot to this and become a FOSS solution. But, I wonder if it actually solves a problem. Essentially, I wanted my lemmy instance to allow sign-ups. But, the posts and channels were auto-generated. So when you log into the app or sign-up it creates a community in the instance along with it. (loom.nyc/c/pexavc) and then all the posts are automatically generated from the posts you save anywhere in the fediverse. (The app supports lemmy and mastodon for now). But, this would also allow all your bookmarks to essentially "federate".

Edit: Tbh, it sounds like a more "silent" cross-posting

[-] pexavc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Had a similar experience. Definitely agreed.

[-] pexavc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah. I have found the simple act of "listening" goes so far. I had a manager whom always remembered the smallest things. Bring them up in team meetings months later. It was very motivating.

In your experience/career, what were some things that you have taken note of from various managers/leaders, that made you feel comfortable working there and providing solutions for the organization as a whole?

[-] pexavc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Removed the other comment.

Because I think I get the point now. I actually never heard of these services before. And didn’t realize people liked to share their “saves/bookmarks”. Or have people actively follow what they are bookmarking.

It’s super interesting.

When questioning your intentions as arrogant, entitled, immature vs confident, moral right, correctness. Or even questioning if the Duning Kruger effect is at play.

What process do you incorporate to back-up your self-judgement or in identifying your decisions/choices are in-fact "correct" in online discussions and/or personal life with friends/family.

How do you remove "self-doubt"?

Flutter (BSD-3): https://github.com/ahsanalidev/flutter_nsfw

Keras MIT https://github.com/bhky/opennsfw2

I feel it's a good idea for those building native clients for Lemmy implement projects like these to run offline inferences on feed content for the time-being. To cover content that are not marked NSFW and should be.

What does everyone think, about enforcing further censorship, especially in open-source clients, on the client side as long as it pertains to this type of content?

Edit:

There's also this, but it takes a bit more effort to implement properly. And provides a hash that can be used for reporting needs. https://github.com/AsuharietYgvar/AppleNeuralHash2ONNX .

The solutions I will employ will be on-device, and just be able to provide additional warnings/censorship for posts not marked appropriately and obviously for posts that are incredibly harmful. This is not the type of content I want to be building something to be near. And will do my best to find solutions in preventing such.

I'd like to share the TestFlight in this community with a possible listing on other resources for Lemmy federated clients that are being actively supported.

Testflight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/owwIagmV

Feel free to use the https://lemmy.world/c/loom community to post concerns, suggestions, bugs, and I will tend to them promptly!

macOS clients are always released via Github as notarized archives. Or, you could build it locally on your own.

Known Issues:

  • Scrolling stutter
  • Registration is not functional
  • macOS (intel) optimizations
    • I do not have an M-chip, so may be missing more macOS related bugs that need to be fixed

List of some major features are below:

Looking for a good README editor. With maybe git functionality, but not necessary

  • Like adding shields/badges/assets within automatically

  • managing a directory like structure by generating new MD files in a directory like folder structure.

Essentially an IDE like environment just for markdown file management and a WYSIWYG editing experience

Accessing a url with .local or 127.0 in the domain seems to be requesting this access. I have disabled setting such urls. This is just for the Testflight. Otherwise you can build the iOS/macOS client locally and allow for localhost access

Another area this can occur is in Search. I am still investigating why/how a request can push this modal through.

I have tested the API endpoint with local as a query since posts can either be federated, local or subscribed for instance, but that wasn't causing it.

I am prepping a larger overview to cover all the changes made in v1.0.3b, but it is kinda late and still would like to share a quick update.

I feel very satisfied with how all of the underlying packages supporting Loom have gained lots of needed robustness all around. I view this to be close to the real beta. Probably should have called v1-1.0.3b Alpha.

This week, expect lots of refinements that will be much more consumer facing/front-end.

Details:

iPad and macOS versions will be ready by v1.0.4b (2). Still some things need to be revised.

Community info view (which triggers subscribe) will be functional again in v1.0.4b(2). It is inactive for this version.

  • Share screen shots of comments and posts, auto-generated
  • Slideable menu on the main feed
  • Keyboard toolbar for quick markdown shortcuts and other quality of life needs. A great little feature to keep adding to in the future.
  • Improve speed of modals appearing and navigation overall
    • Granite has been updated with a custom navigation stack. I am working on documentation to help share how to utilize this for your own applications. When working with multiple form factors and or client types (iPad/iPhone/mac) I found this solution I incorporated to be simple and powerful.
  • Names of Looms are editable again
  • Content actions revised and hooked (there's many ways to do things, so I am still making sure I get them all)
    • Edit
    • Viewing Post content
    • Block (Feed)
    • Share
    • (There are others being worked on or checked for completion, like Report)
  • Fixed image uploading, compression occurs prior. This will be customizable in a future update. It is currently targeting 100kb.
  • Lots of nitpick adjustments to design overall

Major Known Issues:

  • Login and Add Account modals dismiss prematurely. Essentially one won’t be able to login.
  • Endless spiral for loading collections of any kind, feed, community listing, post content. Simply refresh to fix it. The issue is known, just haven’t resolved yet.

Lot's more to cover. Wanted to get this build out and start the v1.0.4b journey, as I felt the quality has increased by quite a bit since the initial v1.0.3b.

v1.0.3b (build 13)

What’s New

  • UX changes for the Loom UI + Creating Posts
  • Setting custom Instance URLs
  • Editing posts/comments (only when viewing posts or within profile)

macOS build will be available soon. iPad-specific optimizations will be addressed in (build 14)

Changes

Loom UI Moved
Image The Loom interface moved to the view that was meant for composing posts. Creating posts has been moved to a modal format, triggered by the Loom logo button on the front page. Essentially switching spots.
Set Instance URL
Image Tap the “Front Page” header view text and/or the domain above it, to trigger the set instance url Modal.
  • You can now edit posts and/or comments when viewing a post or in your profile.

  • UX / design tweaks and nitpicks in various places

  • Further optimizations around state updates, bookmark component performance when switching tabs and settings component’s ability to update profile settings when logged in.

The next major update will be set for Friday and the same cadence will be applied for major updates per Friday.

Expect smaller updates throughout the week to focus on various bugs and improving performance on all platforms, macOS + iPad especially.

I will primarily use the Changelog to communicate update details.

Secondary Changelog: https://neatia.xyz/post/281

New post updates will only be made if there are Major feature changes/entirely new features outside of the current feature-set. Major feature changes means, entirely new flows to execute an existing feature.

Known Issues:

  • community list syncing on macOS
  • certain micro-interactions
  • localization of lots of recently added strings

The last major feature for the "base functionality" build, is mod view. This will turn the interface into a "Mod Mode" where actions on posts/comments/persons/communities will have an additional control panel to apply mod actions. The date of this to be completed, is undecided as I'd like to review the performance around all of the base functionalities again this week.

Registration/uploading JPGs or HEICs is a bit finicky, this will be looked at this week as well.


When it comes to features outside of the "Base Scope". I am excited to get to this feature that has been on the GitHub for some time, Engravings. This will allow people to "invisibly watermark" their content. Allowing you to verify what content is yours. There are other applications of it, I'd like to experiment with such as creating shareable cards of a user's community, loom, profile, etc.
