It's a four-dimensional hypercube, but that's not whats important right now.
I was going to make the same joke, but putting it in an Airplane/Naked Gun reference is perfect.
Surely you can't be serious
I am, and don't call me Shirley.
Also the macguffin in the first avengers movie, but also not important
It's an alternative front end for lemmy. Lots of instances that make alternative front ends available to their users offer it as an option
so it’s like a winamp skin for our losers-only internet?
Except it’s one of those lazy skins that’s just a jpg downloaded as the background and somehow it only lets you listen to Christian Rock.
I dunno if you're lucky or not to see this drama right when joining. When I joined there were so many posts about beans.
When I joined it was just people upset over the death of third party reddit apps. I felt right at home.
You must've just missed the beans, because I was leaving reddit for the same reason.
That tracks; I was on vacation in SoCal at the time and when I got back, the apps were dead.
The GitHub page links to a live demo page if you want to check it out. I even see your post on there!
But you won't see my comment! I'm regex blocked babyyyy
Luckyyyyyyy. I wish my mom would get me regex blocked, but she said we have block lists at home. I tried to tell her it’s not the same, but she just kept saying It’s all about who you know.
Did they revert it? I can see your post there
I had never even heard of it before this, but that dev has given me immense Lemmy street-cred now. I was on the list!!
how can I tell if I'm on it?
curl https://download.thisvirus.org/manifest.json | sudo exec -
They've got theweirdestcunt but no weird_sloth 😥
I did not make the cut
It's a dildo that opens a portal to a better timeline than the one we are subjected to.
Laughs in Lemmy Sync
Heads up: sometime after Lemmy v1.0 when legacy API support is dropped Sync will stop working. It already has several serious bugs that have been unfixed for like two years.
I switched to Summit a long time ago and couldn't be happier.
Aww man. I've been using sync too.
I used reddit sync originally and the creator saying "fuck you" to reddit, and that they were going to make one for lemmy, is his I even found out about it.
So did I, but eventually I couldn't live with the unfixed bugs anymore. And continuing to accept (quite expensive) paid subscriptions while not working on the app anymore left a bad taste in me too.
Wait... It has a subscription model? I think I paid once, when it was reddit and the payment carried over.
But I agree, if theyre accepting sub money and it's abandoned.. That's real messed up
I thought it was yearly or lifetime as options? I can't remember exactly. The point still stands: payments were open despite the app being abandoned.
Didn't that get abandoned? I switched to Connect after Sync.
I've been using Boost since the abandoning.
News to me? huh, neat. I haven't had issues but guess I'll look for alternatives.
It was a pretty slimmy move by the dev. A bunch of people paid for the app then the developer pretty quickly abandoned it. Cashed out on that good will they had from making a good Reddit app.
oh fudge. Sad to hear. I had Reddit Sync for years and loved it.
Same. That's why I didn't hesitate to buy Lemmy Sync when it came out.
It's like if people took that thanos snap thing that subreddit did really seriously. People seem to actually care about whether they were saved or snapped.
That's what it looks like from my chair.
Full disclosure: i am on the list. But that's not my issue beyond the personal hilarity.
They decided they had the right to censor visibility of users, comments, words, entire instances to those who utilised their interface. And they went to lengths to hide it. Thats a violation. A serious one. Of user agency, of FOSS, of what the fediverse purports to be about. And when discovered they went on an unhinged rant slinging insults at those who quite rightly said "what the fuck, dude". Utterly unrepentant.
EDIT: Shh... Look, there's one here now.
I do not understand why everyone is using the name of the codebase "tesseract" - which is in conflict with the absolutely wonderful concept of a tesseract - that is a four dimensional hyper cube. Why shame this beautiful word instead of shaming the name of the developer behind the fuckup? Save the word tesseract and shame the dev behind the frontend instead. Anybody care to explain their frivolity?
Indeed. Tesseract is also the name of an open-source OCR library. When I first saw posts about Tesseract filtering things I was really confused.
The question is already answered, but if you are curious your instance sidebar says that the alternative front-ends that are available to you on it are: Photon, Alexandrite, Old (as in looks like old-Reddit), and Blorp. Tesseract is not one of them.
There is now a cool kids club list and we're not on it.
Megatron no like tesseract!
