Why do the people generating the content want to be kissed so bad

Maybe it depends on what state you’re in, but I have used it between jobs after being laid off. I was actually very surprised how well it worked. This was durning Biden’s term.

I’m the sole dev as of right now. There have been a few one time contributors, but it’s mostly just me.

Blorp dev here. I think function and form are both very important. I definitely lean more Apple philosophy of strong UI/UX opinions. Not sure if I’ve delivered on that quality in Blorp. I have enjoyed when Apple gets it right, though they do get it wrong too (e.g. Liquid Glass).

Blorp also works on web

Blorp dev here. I want to one day support MBin, but no idea when that will be yet.

Apple TV hasn’t been enshitified yet. The hard part is finding a non smart tv to plug it into.

Yeah, in this example, I read the first post but not the second

Ah we currently only mark a post read when you click on it. So if you didn’t click on it, that’s the issue.

You should see the post title in the feed go from white to slightly gray after it’s been marked as read.

But it sounds like what you’re looking for is “mark read on scroll”, which in working on adding in the next release, v1.15.0.

I think you’re right that we do need an option to only hide read posts in the home tab, not communities. The only place it makes sense in communities is if a community has many many posts. But given most Lemmy communities are small, I’m probably creating more problems then I’m solving.

Blorp dev here. We intentionally don’t hide read posts until you refresh the feed. IMO if you click into a post then back, instantly hiding it would feel very jarring. But once you manually pull to refresh, that’s a good indication of “I’m ready for new content”.

Blorp dev here. Oops sorry I’ll add those settings. For now, you can login to the official ui at piefed.blahaj.zone. Blorp should respect whatever setting you choose there

WOW WOW why you gotta bring cat’s into this

Blorp dev here! Constantly trying to improve things. If you do happen to give Blorp a 2nd shot, let me know what you think could be improved. Otherwise, there are lots of great clients out there!

MANG?

How do I figure that out? My adhd (self diagnosed) has also been pretty bad. I need to work up the motivation to schedule a dr appointment and I fear I may need to tackle the adhd first lol

How is a local model being downloading on your computer counting against your Google cloud storage?

I know this is probably a joke, but they must be doing this. Even if the AI isn’t making this discussion, they must be trying to separate good engineers from AI bros that only ever knew how to vibe code.

I’m ok with blocking Utah from the internet. That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make

Totally fair! I don’t know if I’ve crossed the user threshold yet with Blorp to be overwhelmed by the feedback, so maybe I’ll regret my earlier statement. Since Lemmy/PieFed is so privacy focused, I collect 0 analytics data. So that user feedback is kinda the only way to know that people are actually using my app.

I understand Lemmy/PieFed is very anti AI, and honestly for good reason, but I have found it helpful to collect a dump of the comments mentioning “Borp” and then have an LLM categorize what are the top feature requests/bugs. So sometimes that feedback is also helpful indirectly.

I guess my point is, I can’t really do anything with no feedback, but I can find ways to comb though a large quantity of feedback.
