This thread sums everything up nicely I think: https://lemmy.ml/post/98675/95459
And for programming.dev specifically, the API did not work for me when they had CF bot protection turned on (endpoints always returned the “Just a moment…” bot check html), it was only after it was turned off a few days ago that it started working for me, because CF doesn’t like my IP/browser/something and always gives me endless captcha loops. Previously their stance was that bot IPs had to be explicitly whitelisted to be allowed on their server.
This sounds like the right answer at first, but really, the entire reason ID verification exists is because the whole “just parent your kids” thing already didn’t work, and now here we are. You can’t fix stupid, meanwhile the kids are still doing bad things, and everyone else doing nothing too, solves nothing.
What are the privacy implications of adopting RCS?
When it first came out, I specifically remember that trying to turn it on in the messages app makes you agree to hand over all your messages to google, so I never used it. But now it just seems to support it anyways, so not sure what happened to the agreement I never clicked on.
This is still written from a javascript perspective and assumes many things that are not true when using other approaches to calling the endpoints.
curl 'https://lemmy.world/api/v3/user?username=egeres&sort=New&page=1&limit=20' | jq .posts
https://join-lemmy.org/api/classes/LemmyHttp.html#getPersonDetails
The documentation is really terrible and the developers try to defend it anyways.
Some instances also employ cloudflare or other anti-ddos techniques that make automated API usage impossible.
I really do not like these docs and find it extremely confusing for anyone not using Javascript. For example that “form” parameter that’s on almost everything, doesn’t even exist and can’t be used when you’re using curl, but it doesn’t tell you that.
Vivaldi is proprietary, FYI.
same way on all platforms
too bad navigator.platform
still returns Linux instead of Windows…
When you say “app” do you mean something that will let you view remotely through a residential NAT connection with no port forwarding or hole punching? Because 99.9% of those options are inherently not private.
If you only need the camera itself to have a local feed i.e. you already have some kind of VPN/tunnel/etc. into your home network, then something like a cheap Amcrest works fine and does not require Internet access for the camera itself.
No, there is no way to prevent sites from uploading the info besides just not providing it in the first place.
And because of how programming languages work, there’s no way for the browser to identify that data being uploaded “is” anything specific, especially when there’s things like encryption, obfuscation or just re-arranging the data itself into larger collections of data.
I was more concerned with government ties.
Removed by mod
since you crawled under a rock /s
what privacy lol, it’s already gone
dat bj tho
A new recall every two months is probably a world record.
your opinions are bad and you should feel bad
Yours is a little bit easier to read, but my main problems remain the same. Here’s some initial comments looking at your swagger link from the perspective of a user who is brand new to the lemmy API (and doesn’t use Javascript):
I can’t tell what the general flow of the API usage in general is. Am I supposed to login/authorize somehow first? Some common examples, especially in at least one programming language (whether that’s curl or python or whatever) I think would go a long way to help people understand what they’re supposed to do.
How do I know if I need to authorize for a particular endpoint?
What is the entire URL for any given endpoint? It’s never really explained clearly.
What is this “servers” dropdown? What’s the difference between those?
Endpoint descriptions are often unhelpful.
/user
says “Get the details for a person.” It doesn’t tell me this is actually how I’m supposed to find their comments or posts. Nothing tells us this.We have to guess what endpoint we might need for a lot of things. Example:
/post/like
is also for dislikes, but it doesn’t tell you that. It also never tells you HOW to like or dislike anything, the valid values ofscore
do not appear to be documented. And you’re left to assume that’s the right field to even use for it.What is the content type of the request supposed to be? JSON is never mentioned anywhere.
What are these named “parameters”? Is that a query parameter? Why does it say “object” and “(query)”? Does this parameter go in the request body instead?
/user
shows a parameter called “GetPersonDetails” except in reality this name is (I guess) supposed to be completely ignored, because no part of the request actually uses the string “GetPersonDetails”.Schema is missing for many endpoints, like the request part of
/user
.What are all these fields under “GetPersonDetails”? Are they all required? Only some? It doesn’t say anything about it.
Many of the possible error codes are undocumented.
There’s probably more but that’s the main stuff I think.
