DSub2000: Android client for Subsonic servers. This is a fork of the original DSub project. in c/[email protected]

I've been following a lot of these, and unfortunately nearly all of them are dead.

  • YouAmp - Alive, jetpack compose + material v3, but very early in development. Barely any features. Probably our best hope for the future of these.
  • Tempo - The best current option, but dead for ~6 months. Has a few bugs, but lots of features. Java, not kotlin, but appears to be material 3.
  • Ultrasonic - Great option, lots of features, but dead for ~a year.
  • Dsub - Dead for 2 years, but revived now with a few bug fixes via this one. Doesn't have much of a future, not being jetpack compose / m3.
  • Subtunes - Dead for 2+ years.

We haven't done any releases yet, but no post scores will still be okay.

What's your prediction for the 2024 US election? in c/[email protected]

This page has some background, but historically they've always beat polling and any other prediction algorithms as long as they've been around.

Gamblers don't always get it right, but this page has some interesting history: https://electionbettingodds.com/about.html

Gamblers, polls, and the NYT's most sophisticated prediction algorithms all got it very wrong in 2016, and severely overestimating hillary and underestimating trump. But of those three, the prediction markets were the least wrong.

Lemmy.ml will have around 1-2 hours of downtime tomorrow, Friday at 1430 CEST. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Sry for the downtime, we're back up.

We tried several things but weren't able to diagnose the specific problem, but we've narrowed it down to a specific file. We're keeping track of it in this issue. Most likely its gonna be one of those extremely simple things that got missed.

Thx for being patient, we'll probably have more downtimes in the future as we need to test more fixes.

I can't tell which you're trying to do, apologize for maga chuds or kamala's abuse of black people and immigrants.

That's not a poll. It's an aggregate / average of betting markets.

USA has sent 26.7 billion dollars to Israel to carry out genocide in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

The tiny minority of sociopaths that sit at the top of the pyramid of US corporations and its state are the self-selected few who got to where they are because they lack empathy. They're the ones who can't be convinced out of it.

Take any large group of ppl and there will be a few assholes among them. What's unique about the capitalist mode of production, is that it makes sure those people run the entire society, and control the nuke codes.

Genocide is never inevitable. It says a lot about the US's supposed "democracy" that you think it is.

Former Klan leader David Duke endorses Jill Stein in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

They both dislike Israel for different reasons. Jill Stein is against Israel for its ongoing genocide. David Duke is against Israel because he's an anti-semite. These are not the same.

Lemmy Developer AMA and Dev Update, 2024-01-26, 1500 CEDT (lemmy.ml)

This is a chance for any users, admins, or developers to ask anything they'd like to myself, @[email protected] , SleeplessOne , or @[email protected] about Lemmy, its future, and wider issues about the social media landscape today.

NLNet Funding

First of all some good news: We are currently applying for new funding from NLnet and have reached the second round. If it gets approved then @[email protected] and SleeplessOne will work on the paid milestones, while @dessalines and @nutomic will keep being funded by direct user donations. This will increase the number of paid Lemmy developers to four and allow for faster development.

You can see a preliminary draft for the milestones. This can give you a general idea what the development priorities will be over the next year or so. However the exact details will almost certainly change until the application process is finalized.

Development Update

@ismailkarsli added a community statistic for number of local subscribers.

@jmcharter added a view for denied Registration Applications.

@dullbananas made various improvements to database code, like batching insertions for better performance, SQL comments and support for backwards pagination.

@SleeplessOne1917 made a change that besides admins also allows community moderators to see who voted on posts. Additionally he made improvements to the 2FA modal and made it more obvious when a community is locked.

@nutomic completed the implementation of local only communities, which don't federate and can only be seen by authenticated users. Additionally he finished the image proxy feature, which user IPs being exposed to external servers via embedded images. Admin purges of content are now federated. He also made a change which reduces the problem of instances being marked as dead.

@dessalines has been adding moderation abilities to Jerboa, including bans, locks, removes, featured posts, and vote viewing.

In other news there will soon be a security audit of the Lemmy federation code, thanks to Radically Open Security and NLnet.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Major Changes

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.
