If there is anything I know about technology, it’s that moving everything to The Cloud is the current trend.
Currently it’s shoehorning AI into everything, surely?
But good stuff, always nice to see pointless bad ideas proved possible!
I’m talking about people downvoting from all - if you’re seeing content from some niche or geographic community because you’re viewing all then downvoting something you’re not interested in is a dick move.
I haven’t watched, but assuming it’s good I’m guessing it’s idiots viewing the all feed and downvoting anything they’re not personally interested in.
It doesn’t help that the official Lemmy docs say downvote things you don’t like, which is only good guidance when you have an algorithm you’re training.
Ah, so this is the most popular cocktails on punchdrink.com - I thought the title was saying party punch was the most popular!
Edit: I think it’s top-rated, not most searched:
these are the recipes you deemed best this month
They’re all more obscure than what I’d expect to see on a populist list.
I’ve only just found the channel, and am currently watching the one on Biomimicry. Glad to hear the quality’s consistent.
I can’t see the numbers in future getting any better, unless big changes are made. Many pilgrims are quite old, since some need many years to save up enough for the journey, and of course the temperature’s only going to be going up (even after La Niña).
It’s part of the rituals to get the timing exactly right, so it’s not like it can be moved to cooler months, like has been proposed for the Summer Olympics. It is moving earlier by a week and a half each year (because of the Islamic calendar) but when you’re talking 51.8C that’s not really moving the needle.
I’d heard talk of health-monitoring bracelets, which seems sensible.

Here’s the post they made on Reddit:
Hi everyone. I wanted to post a quick update on the plans that are progressing around the Bitwarden mobile app. For those of you that don’t know, our current mobile app is created using a technology called Xamarin, a framework provided by Microsoft that allows you to create a single app that works on both iOS and Android. I chose Xamarin in the early days of Bitwarden because it was a technology that I was proficient at (.NET and C#) and it afforded me the time to maintain a mobile app along with all the other apps I was building for Bitwarden. Xamarin is a real time saver, for sure and it has served us well over the past 8 years, but it comes with some downsides as well:
Because of some of these things, and because we have matured as an engineering organization here at Bitwarden, Xamarin doesn’t make sense for us to pursue any longer.
Early last year we began planning to retire our Xamarin-based mobile apps and made the decision to transition our mobile apps to fully native apps written in Swift (for iOS) and Kotlin (for Android). Over the past 6 months we have been actively developing these new native apps and at this time they are nearing completion. I wanted to share some sneak peeks of these new apps and rollout plans over the coming months with you all.
In an effort to support passkeys sooner than later, we’ve had a parallel effort going on with adding passkey support in the existing Xamarin-based mobile app. This required us to “upgrade” the Xamarin app to the new MAUI framework. As anticipated, the upgrade has not been smooth, however, we are nearing the completion of that project and plan to release this temporary solution soon. Although this is largely a new app under the hood, overall, the new MAUI shouldn’t look or feel any different than the Xamarin app that we have today.

In a few months you will begin to see our completely revamped native mobile apps roll out. These new apps will look and feel different. They are completely new Bitwarden apps. Hopefully you will notice large improvements to the overall experience of using the mobile apps. The designs are different, using all native platform controls, but the layouts still follow similar user flows that we already have.

Android
Now that we have new native apps to build upon, following their initial release we also plan to begin introducing other UX improvements and redesign how you interact with certain flows throughout the app. This may include things like redesigning certain screens entirely, optimization of critical user flows, and introducing onboarding walkthroughs for new users. These types of updates are informed by usability research conducted by our product design team and tested with volunteers from the Bitwarden community.
In closing, we understand that our mobile app has lagged behind in recent years. Xamarin served us well, but it’s time to move on. When released, we hope you will all enjoy the new native apps we have been working hard at building. Your feedback is important to help make the experience of using Bitwarden great for everyone.
At first I thought it was another safe with even more money, and I was wondering if I should get a magnet.
That performance cost seems to be negligible in uBlock Origin and other popular ad blockers that have focused on optimization […], but there were probably other extensions not doing that well.
The article goes out of its way to not do what you’re accusing it of. I don’t understand how you’ve managed to read the article as having the opposite slant as what it actually does.
I assume you’re in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they’d go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?
I’m curious to know the impact of ad-blockers - I didn’t see you it mention in your post or blog, so I’m assuming you tested with stock browsers. Also, did you clear history and data from your Android install since it sounds like you’d normally use that?
I’m assuming that ad-blockers would be a net benefit to both battery and performance, given that in a way it’s an optimisation. The boost from removing data and computation (that the user doesn’t want anyway) must be far higher than the overhead of the plugin, right?
So they’re switching from using both Mercurial and Git to just Git… How did they end up using both? Was it just that each had its supporters so they just compromised and made everyone use both?
I know how federation works, but look at the network inspector and you’ll see you’re pulling a lot of images from Cloudflare-proxied sites (or you’re missing a lot, if you’ve blacklisted them).
Anyway, I only meant that even Lemmy, with its anti-corporate culture, is still heavily using Cloudflare. “Only” 22% is still a lot in my book.
I’m interested as to your motives - are you doing this as a boycott, and/or to protect your privacy (or similar)? Also, are you blocking domains one-by-one, or are doing something like using firewall rules?
If you’re blocking everything that’s proxied via Cloudflare or hosted on Google, the internet must be a very small place for you. I think even a third of Lemmy is behind Cloudflare.
I guess my argument would be that you can choose/configure Linux to use many of the Windows conventions, whereas Mac has its own way of doing things that need learning.
The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it’s just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.
I’d assumed it was servers running on renewable power, although I’m not sure how they measure that. I know some hosting companies and CDNs have that as an option, but I don’t see how you’d know if each server chose that option so I guess it’s more like “servers with green hosting companies”.
Voting on Lemmy isn’t private (and is probably for sale on closed platforms) so just upvoting an opinion might be enough to get you on some lists.
