Oops, I had meant to crop it but messed it up somehow. Thanks for letting me know.

I got this from a Reddit comment, and unfortunately the official app doesn’t have a way to save images from comments anymore. They want people to share a link instead ;-;

The Lemmy UI doesn’t allow you to see others’ private messages, no, but you shouldn’t consider them to be private. It’s possible for instance admins to read them, and in the past there’s been exploits allowing anyone to read them. If you need more private messaging, use Matrix instead.

For your viewing pleasure:

for entry in entries:
    if entry['time'] + 1800 < time():
        guild = self._bot.get_guild(int(entry['guild_id']))
        member = guild.get_member(int(entry['user_id']))
        if member is not None:
            if member.activity.name is not None:
                if member.activity.name.lower() == "league of legends":
                    await member.send("The 30 minutes has elapsed and you are still playing league, get banned.")
                    await member.ban(delete_message_days=0, reason='playing league')

Python does have a switch statement now, actually. And yes, they went out of their way to call it something different - match.

Yes. This is the Armor 33 Pro by Ulefone. It’s got a 25500mAh battery.

Yeah, you would’ve thought it would work that way. Regrettably, the standard timezone code of Etc/GMT+4 is actually GMT-4. Wikipedia

Today I spent multiple hours trying to debug a timezone issue in a codebase. The timezone I was testing with was Etc/GMT+4, which I had assumed was four hours ahead of GMT. Turns out, it’s actually 4 hours behind GMT 🤦‍♂️

You can also turn off every AI feature with a single toggle in Settings, and it lets you choose whether to enable it during device setup. For now, at least.

The price? Yes.

The tip prompt? Well, no. Unless you feel like mailing an extra $20 cash to Nintendo

You can read up on the conversation on the GitHub issue here.

TL;DR: the current system on the (unreleased) 1.0 codebase is that your Lemmy instance will replace all Lemmy URLs in posts/comments with the equivalent URLs on your own instance. In the issue I linked, some concerns are raised about this system and various other options are discussed. It’s possible that the way it works will change before Lemmy 1.0 is released.

You’re welcome :)

I’m also curious about the country distribution on lemmy.

I’m a developer for an iOS Lemmy client. The distribution of our downloads by territory is as follows (sample size >18k):

• 50.2% US
• 9.9% Germany
• 5.8% UK
• 5.2% Canada
• 3.5% Australia
• 25.4% other

Biases:

• It only counts users who are using that specific app, which:
  • Is only available on iOS, so Android users aren’t counted. This could have a significant effect on the results because iOS has a much higher market share in the US than, say, Germany.
  • Could be ranked differently in App Store search results in different regions.
  • Only supported English, until very recently. Users who prefer a different language may have chosen an app that supports their language.
• It includes users who downloaded the app but later stopped using Lemmy, which isn’t ideal.

Back in 2023 lemmy.ca did a survey of their users, which you may find interesting.

Lemmy doesn’t support this natively, but many clients do. Off the top of my head:

• Tesseract (desktop)
• Voyager (web frontend designed for mobile. I believe you need to install the app rather than using the website to use keyword filters)
• Mlem (iOS)
• Arctic (iOS)
• Thunder (Android & iOS)
• Sync (Android; I’ve heard Sync is unmaintained though)

Assuming you’re on desktop, Tesseract is probably your best bet. It might also be possible to get Voyager working. Some instances (like sh.itjust.works) run their own Tesseract instances (https://tesh.itjust.works/), but lemm.ee doesn’t. You’d have to use some other Tesseract instance, specifically one that allows connecting to any Lemmy instance (https://tesh.itjust.works/ is for sh.itjust.works accounts only). E.g. https://tesseract.dubvee.org/

The cleaning cloth pictured is the one that comes with the particular brand of screen cleaner that Apple recommends using.

Point webcam at a screen, or maybe a white wall with a projector pointing at it

Mobile apps should allow you to log into any instance. My Lemmy client won’t connect to lemmy.rip either, and fails with the following error:

The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “lemmy.rip”, which could put your confidential information at risk.

This is also what I see when I try to connect to lemmy.rip in the browser:

I am able to bypass this warning and see the site in the browser.
