In the rare occasions that my wife needs to use my phone, I need to type my (12 digit) pincode out on a number pad and read it back to her to be sure I get it right. I can type it flawlessly a dozen times a day but if I try to recite it, I screw up the order.
If the docs I have to write are long enough I will include a small diatribe about a ancient pop-culture hill I’m still willing to die on, just to see if anyone notices.
That looks like the media endpoint in action, all right.
I don’t think Lemmy supports media fields in comments (though I’ve only skimmed the API, I could be wrong) just on posts. I usually use Postimages for hosting images for comments.
Be sure to use the image upload field too
I’ve had more than one person tell me they don’t think microblogging is worth any learning curve whatsoever. They’d rather not use anything than have a single conversation about federation or feed building.
The earliest I can think of (from personal experience) is 4GL languages; the early low-code platforms that first started to get traction in the early 80s. They wouldn’t have replaced programmers but some thought/hoped they would usher in an age of “low skill” programmers that companies could get away with paying minimum wage to.
The thing that made me laugh when I saw the article that OP mentions is that it was coming from AWS.
In my testing AWS’s Titan AI is the least useful for figuring out how to do things in AWS. It’s so terrible that Amazon just announced they’re using Claude for Alexa’s upcoming “AI” features.
I think mbin has microblogging and or profile posts. That’ll get you part way to where you’re going. And you can still subscribe to lemmy (“threadiverse”) communities.
If they actually worried about hate and disinformation they would have quit before it was called X.
I’ve been in development enough years that I read this as a company that has had a “security incident” that they’re not public about, and have set all accounts to Force Password Change.
I’m going to keep an eye on Manyfold and see how federation works. I’ve looked at it before and thought it looked nice, but was overkill just for me.
It’s gotten to the point that I buy games without looking them up first. I’ve been running Linux as my daily driver for over a decade, and buying a game used to take research. Is there a native version (probably not but it happens once in a while)? What it scoring on ProtonDB? What have the Lutris folks figured out?
Now I just buy the game and play it. Granted I don’t tend to play competitive multiplayer games so I don’t run into cheat prevention system nightmares.
As someone who has been using RSS readers multiple times per day since 2009, I like the idea of being able to have threaded conversations with you lot on the stuff I’m reading all day.
I love the idea that they’re at two adjacent tables, each one staring at the other wondering why they hate them.
