just upgraded my instance. pretty good, very smooth and yay animated profile avatars!

I don’t understand what exactly this is as it doesn’t go into great detail especially the whole “flavors” thing. There’s Ember, Social, Community, and Corporation so what’s the difference between each. in the documentation for installation it tells you to pick a flavor but again doesn’t describe what each “flavor” actually is.

So is this like meetup or some kind of neighborhood app/social group thing? I’d be willing to set up an instance on my server of it today but I don’t even know what this really is.

never really an issue with that either because most GUI menus will trigger via alt. even in something like KDE with the proper keybindings setup it’s not an issue. heck even discord now has keyboard navigation.

I use Qutebrowser. All links and interactions are keybound. so if for example I want to “click” on your user name I hit “F” which pops up a link hint and then hit whatever two letters are over the link. so for your profile it would be f + ll. that’s it. everything that it’s on a webpage that you would normally use a mouse to interact with can all be done with keybinds. It’s great, it’s quick.

Browser navigation is also keybound. if I want to go back I hit shift+h. forward is shift+l. to switch tabs it’s shift+j or k. closing a tab is just pressing d.

there’s also extenstions for chrome and firefox that will do the same thing like vimium and tridactyl.

If you’ve used Vim for an extended period of time then navigating the same way in a browser is actually awesome. takes a bit to get used to but once you do you won’t go back and trying to use a browser with a mouse just feels slow.

The thing about Vim is once you get the navigation down you’ll want it for everything and you’ll refuse to go back to anything else.

I used Vim for so long that I can’t live without some form of vim style navigation. my Window Manager uses it, my web browser uses it, all my TUIs use it, hell I even switched to Emacs and installed Doom Emacs and THAT uses it. Now I only ever use a mouse for gaming because you realize that navigating around your PC purely with your keyboard is actually faster than using a mouse. I’ve disabled the touchpad completely on both my laptops.

If you’re digging Vim check out NeoVim with LazyVim. makes plugins and theming and what have you easier. I use it as my backup to DOOM Emacs.

honestly it’s better to just host your own private instance as if you want a lemmy and mastodon instance that others can also set up you not only have to admin it you also have to moderate it.

Also keep in mind it’s NOT just actual people signing up but you also have to deal with all the bots which WILL register en masse to your instances. a lot of people won’t mention this. bots flock to this stuff like flies on shit. It’s not worth it unless you plan on really dedicating the time to actively admin your instances.

I run Akkoma instead of Mastodon and Piefed instead of lemmy. both of which were easier to setup than mastodon/lemmy and less resource heavy.

ah ok, thanks for explaining that makes sense. yeah I clearly missed it.

But you can do all this anyways, this isn’t new or ground breaking.

you can load up Claude Code an a completely empty directory and tell it to build something and it will do it. it’ll do it slowly and most of the time incorrectly but it’ll eventually build “something” that will sort of work. Unless i’m still waiting for my coffee to kick in and I’m missing something here - companies already do this. Hell a lot of my current clients currently do this. no code, nothing to base anything off, just tells Claude an idea for a project and to build it.

Not with any of the current models, none of them are concerned with security or scaling.

yes PS4 was bluray.
