One of my favorite things to do with chat gpt is having it rewrite things as Trump. I wasn’t interested in rereading the constitution a second ago, but it’s going to be tremendous, you wouldn’t believe how great it’s going to be

If you’re on Android and want filters, I’m looking for beta testers for my app. I’ve got keyword filters that can hide or collapse posts that contain a word or phrase… well really I have a system that is very easy to add filters to and I’m looking for feedback
If you have an idea that would work better for you, let me know
I’m finishing up testing today and spending tomorrow hopefully getting a build uploaded, let me know or check out !flemmy@lemmy.world if you’re interested
Iphone build is in the works, keep an eye out for Luna for Lemmy
That ship has sailed… So many sites don’t actually change pages, they just load different data - it’s way faster and looks better
Problem is, the back button takes you off the site no matter where you are, so now you can change the URL and change the history through code to have the best of both worlds
Then, there’s the people who do it badly, and there’s the people who think “hey, if you need pro StarCraft level clicking speed to back out of my site, maybe for some reason that will make them decide to stay”
As a late millennial and a programmer, I’ve got you.
So when you request a web page, before anything else, the server gives you a 3 digit status code.
100s means you asked for metadata
200s mean it went ok
300s means you need to go somewhere else (like for login, or because we moved things around)
400s mean you messed up
500s mean I messed up
So this is in the 400s. Each specific code means something - you’ve probably seen 404, which means you asked for a page that isn’t there. And maybe 405, which means you’re not allowed to see this
418 means you asked for coffee, but I’m a teapot
I can’t speak for everyone, but when I say lol I usually am trying to soften a self disparaging statement or expressing the absurdity of the situation… Or just lighten the tone because I feel like my message is too serious and I’m coming off like an asshole
Hahahaha…he didn’t start Tesla or spaceX
He did sue the founders of Tesla, the settlement demanded they refer to themselves as “co-founders” and not publicly refute him calling himself the founder.
There’s speculation that the spaceX founders signed a similar NDA, but the company existed before him, and their goal was always scaling up spaceflight
Musk is good at two things, fundraising from Uncle Sam, and hype. And he did those well, and if he stuck to that I’d still be singing his praises… Except he hasn’t.
He’s not a smart man technically - a decade ago I first read a post-mortem about how he was booted from the company that bought PayPal (and put him on the map when they sold it, as he still had shares). They kicked him out for utterly failing to build a payment platform as he promised, then pushing they switch everything from Linux to Windows, refusing to understand that was impractically difficult (and just a bad idea, even Microsoft runs Linux on their servers now). He kept pushing this and being distributive, and so they threw him out
Every time he’s tried to start something, it failed - he can’t build a team to save his life.
He’s good at hype and having money, I used to say “he’s a billionaire who read a lot of sci-fi growing up… That’s not the worst thing to be”.
Now? He’s convincing people his abusive management strategies brought this success, but those teams were long formed by people who deeply care about the future of humanity. They’re driven, intelligent, and passionate people - did they succeed because of him, or in spite of him?
I can’t say for sure, but I can say for sure that they could’ve done this with someone else at the helm, but he couldn’t have done it from scratch
I was using wefwef, it looks nice but it’s slow and has awkward UX. Every time I want to reply or vote, I have to take a second to think about which way to swipe
I think you’re into something about not complete or not good - I was hoping to be one of the firsts, but building a solid foundation takes time - I could’ve gotten something out there a week ago, but I’ve got big plans - I want to build discovery and sorting into the app, I want to be able to pull from multiple servers at once, and I want users new to Lemmy to have their hands held as they pick a server. And obviously, it has to feel responsive
To do that I had to build a data store and coax high performance libraries to play nice. I was pulling posts and had the account switching working on day 1, but I didn’t even start on posting until a couple days ago - and only after I made drafts that would reload when you go back
It’s easy to build something rough, fast, or inefficient Building something polished means working on the foundations, building it up, and doing and redoing things as you consider what feels “right”
Give Flemmy a shot in a few days if you’re on Android (more like a couple weeks on iphone). It’s still early days and there will be bugs and missing features, but, now that the groundwork is solid, it’s moving fast
On the plus side, I’m about to open the beta that handles both just fine (plus a lot of features no one else is doing yet). The deadline I for myself is Saturday when the Reddit clients go down.
Unfortunately it was built by someone who lurks and comments, and I realized even though merging feeds from accounts on different servers is going to be awesome, other people like to post and I need to stop getting off track
The stress of the timeline is starting to get to me and I’m terrified no one is going to give it a chance, but I’ve fixed most of the things that drove me nuts in jerboa… That should count for something, right?
Hey, so it’s not jerboa based and I ended up pushing it back a few weeks, but I’m now looking for beta testers on Android if you’re interested
As for the name, I think I’m going with Luna for several reasons, a big one being that someone suggested it and Flemmy was the only name I could think of beforehand
I’m posting updates to !flemmy@lemmy.world for now, if you’re interested I’ll be posting instructions for the beta soon.
Whether you’re interested or not I’d love to get feedback. I’m good with data and UX flow, but I mostly just comment - I need to learn how other people want to use Lemmy
