    Lol no, all my .ml crossposts are 100% done by my hands

    I actually couldn’t automate it anyways, because the risk of accidentally cross-posting some Russian propaganda or NK simping meme would be too great LMAO

    Why am I cross-posting .ml content?

    I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

    Megathread on the issue

    Some highlights from the link:

    "Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

    “See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

    .ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068

    “NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

    General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

    “If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

    And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

    I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

    On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

    Nah, it’s partially working and the parts I ordered was to bring it back into full functionality.

    There are 2 fuse circuits in my microwave, one for if you run just the microwave and a high load one for if you run the microwave AND the vent fan on high

    The fuse for the first blew, so the work around is needing to turn the fan on before microwaving anything lmao




















  • WebApps are just…so laggy, Voyager is prob the least laggy React app I’ve ever seen…but there’re still noticeable points where it is

    Native UIs, while not entirely immune to lag, is tons better and generally use far less resources to achieve it

    For a technical difference:

    Voyager/Blorp use React which is basically JavaScript and typically requires the app to ship with everything needed to run JavaScript. Each app runs a “mini-browser”. Though it has its pros because you only need to develop one app for all platforms.

    Native UIs use the UI elements provided by the OS and each platform you release the app on must be developed separately, but it can also be optimized with less effort and less resources.


  • I don’t even know where to start with this. It’s only available from the Play Store, meaning you have to have a device with a Google account logged in system-wide.

    Further, if you want to give money to the devs, the other options also make that available without a 30% tax applied to support one of the largest monopolistic corporations on Earth.

    He has an alternative donation platform. If you contact him, he might be open to giving you an APK if you donate through that. Orr you could just donate through that and install an “acquired” APK. Orr just donate through that, block ads system wide and have it installed through a proxied store (e.g. Aurora Store). For the longest time I didn’t even realize boost had ads because of my ad blocking LMAO

    And they’re also just better

    Boost is a native UI, both Voyager and Blorp (While visually appealing) are just web wrappers and I absolutely despise web wrapper “apps”. Boost also beats Voyager in customization (won’t comment on Blorp, never tried Blorp)
