This tech could easily work with any type of camera too, that's a lot harder to identify than glasses with a light that turns on when its recording. Hidden cameras on pins, necklaces, clothing, etc.

That's very unfortunate. Open source development can seem like a thankless job sometimes... you start out building something because it's fun, or you want to challenge yourself, or learn something new... and then other ppl start making demands, those start to pile on, and it quickly becomes a stressful job.

Sorry to see that app go, it had a lot of potential.

Apparently according to recent polls, over 70% of the US population wants a cease-fire in gaza. Considering less than a handful of congress-members agreed with them, that makes 99% of the US congress opposing the will of the people. Very democratic country, yes.

This works if they fly low enough

Syncthing.

Nice, props to whoever made that site.

1. Its fixed in a back-end PR, we'll try to get a bugfix release sometime soon.
2. Hrm... haven't thought about that. Could you open up an issue in lemmy-ui . I think the cross_posts field is sorted by published, but I'm not totally positive. In that case it'd just be marking it in the UI in some way.
3. I def didn't anticipate it would get this far this fast... we've become the 2nd most popular fediverse software recently. I'm super-excited about the impact we can have on global media, and getting ppl to break their dependency/addiction to US-tech dominated spaces.

One of the biggest burdens on people running lemmy servers, is the disk space taken up by images. Currently the internet has a massive problem with image (and other data in general) duplication: images get posted to 9 different platforms, copied everywhere, with none of them sharing any of the hosting costs.

The static data distribution problem, is actually a completely solved problem: via torrents. The user experience of this tho, needs to be improved across the board in apps and web UIs. Lemmy's markdown fields do support torrent links, but there's no easy "upload audio" or "upload video" button, which ideally should hook in to an in-browser or system-wide torrent app.

I'd love to see comment trees of audio and video replies, but to me this isn't doable, and would explode server costs, unless someone devotes time to the solution above. In the meantime, people will just have to use other services to upload their audio / video content and link to it, or ideally, create torrents and share magnet links.

I love all my children equally 🤣 . Haha no I don't want to play favorites. So far every instance has something great about it, and something to add. I also really like startrek.website, and would love to see more topic-based instances. I would love to see a ravelry-type site in lemmy.

Report those posts so we can remove them.

No probs! The best way to get started (after you've learned some rust), would be to find a smaller issue or feature you'd like, and then comment on that issue, or in our dev matrix chat, if you need any help. We appreciate any help we can get on improving the code.
