I prefer just about every third-party UI to the official one…

Don’t forget Playlet for Roku!

• Windows: FreeTube
• Android: NewPipe
• Roku: Playlet

The trifecta!

It was the famous interview where they asked her why Americans couldn’t find the United States on a map. It went viral at the time.

Admittedly one of the benefits of Reddit was the extensive modding community that kept on top of things like this. In some news communities they would remove duplicate stories, even from different sources, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Of course they could be overzealous too. :)

Thank you, I missed that!

Hey I just wanted to say, thank you for sending me down the rabbit hole of both of these texts. Fascinating!

Regarding the Voynich Manuscript, and to be fair to the person you’re responding to, with no current decipherment, there is a good possibility it’s a hoax.

Churchill acknowledges the possibility that the manuscript is either a synthetic forgotten language (as advanced by Friedman), or else a forgery, as the preeminent theory. However, he concludes that, if the manuscript is a genuine creation, mental illness or delusion seems to have affected the author.

Also the Codex Seraphinianus is much newer and self-admittedly describes an imaginary world in an imaginary language.

Anyway, thanks again for the Wikipedia adventure. :D

Is my client bugging or is this comment empty?

is anyone aware of how to properly link comments on lemmy?

As far as I know, there is no way right now. There’s some discussion of having a more agnostic identifier here, but seemingly no movement yet.

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

The best you can get right now is using an extension like Instance Assistant for Lemmy, but that only helps you, not the person you’re responding to.

That said, if you use a mobile app (I use Thunder) it will usually handle post/comment links in-app, so it doesn’t matter what instance they link to.

I reckon you’re right, unless there was some additional audio equipement or network processing on Trump’s side. But I think you’re right that, at the very least, it wasn’t something being done by the Twitter back-end.

That’s crazy! My most generous interpretation was that there was some sort of audio compession that was cutting off the S’s. But to blame the listener is a classic move that shouldn’t surprise me.

Not yet. They’re supposedly “working on it”. This is the feature I’m most looking forward to.

Thanks for the explanation! I just tried the API passing my own user ID as the creator_id and I seem to be getting back all messages. :( If they can add an endpoint or parameter to get a “conversation” (i.e., all messages incoming/outgoing to/from a specific user) then a chat-style interface would be much easier to implement!

Don’t messages sent by you come back in a list together with any received ones?

Oh wow, you’re right! Somehow I totally missed that. Even Thunder displays sent messages.

So you’re right. You could get all incoming messages from a specific user by passing creator_id but you just couldn’t get all the message you sent to a specific person without getting everything and filtering them.

I ran across a Flutter package that provides a cool chat style widget which inspired me to start working on this. But then I discovered that there’s no API call to retrieve your sent messages. So we could display all the incoming messages from each user like chats, but not sent ones (unless we remembered the ones we sent in Thunder, but that wouldn’t be everything).

Win+Pause/Break opens properties of your PC (on Windows obviously).

That’s partly Lemmy’s fault for using a custom spoiler syntax. But yeah it sounds like Eternity doesn’t support it yet.

That said, there was an issue in their repo just recently closed, so it sounds like support is coming!

Like I commented above, I wonder if other spoiler tags work in Sync or if there’s something about the way this bot posts that breaks it.

What client do you use? It looks fine in Thunder. (I agree it’s spammy in general, but not because of the formatting.)
