Idk maybe I’m wrong, but this feels like more of a hiring issue than AI. You should still be hiring good engineers, and you shouldn’t incentivize them to go so fast that they have to vibe code everything. Let good engineers use AI if they want, and not use it if they don’t want to. If their code is bad, it’s their fault, not the tools they are using.

    Blorp dev here. I'm copying the thumbnail url into the post url, but perhaps that's incorrect. I'm open to suggestions. Again, not confident I'm handling this correctly, but one advantage of setting post.url is cross posts are compared via url, so setting that url would allow Lemmy to associate cross posts of the same image.

    On the rendering side, Blorp scans post.url and if it's an image (e.g. ends in .png), it renders it as an image post. But perhaps not all clients do that.

    I loaded my entire Plex movie library in to Jellyfin and at first everything was going great. Realized pretty quickly some files won’t play on my Apple TV. I tried multiple Jellyfin apps for ATV but I imagine the issue is the transcoding on the backend.

    I understand mixing open source software like Jellyfin with closed source Apple products is a weird combo. But I’m not willing to ditch my Apple TV right now.

    I confirmed the video files that weren’t playing via Jellyfin played no problem via Plex. Plex continues to make decisions that make me want to switch to Jellyfin, but it also seems Plex’s transcoding is better. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

    Edit: Looks like Raspberry Pi 5 doesn't pay nice with Jellyfin when it comes to hardware acceleration :(

    I'm going to run this as a poll by creating some responses you can upvote. If you wouldn't mind upvoting a an existing comment so we get get a really nice count. See the comments I'm Leaving to get an idea of how the poll works. Try to follow my comment structure, but add your own options if you really feel I'm missing something.

    I really hope this works how I'm envisioning. I really want to get an idea of operating system and platform preference skew for Lemmy.

    How to vote:

    1. Upvote the operating system you use
    2. Upvote how your download the app of choice

    If you use a browser

    1. Find the "Browser" comment and upvote
    2. Upvote the browser you use

    If you use multiple, feel free to upvote multiple

    For anything that isn't a vote, please search for the "bump comment" and reply to that. I know this isn't exactly open ended, but I really wanted to pose this question to a community that didn't skew towards a specific topic. I hope that's ok with this community and the mods. I would love to discuss the results of this poll at some point. My goal is to collect those results in a way that informs that discussion so we're not all guessing how people use Lemmy.

    Edit: because there is a troll downvoting comments randomly, you should look at just the upvotes, not the score, to get the correct poll results.

     

    Google requires a dozen or so beta testers before you are allowed to launch an app on the Play store publicly. Given that this community lives on Lemmy, and it’s full of Android users, I was hoping I could recruit a few people.

    My app, “Blorp”, is already listed on the official Lemmy website for iOS, but Android has been delayed due to this requirement.

    Would greatly appreciate your help, and if it turns out you like my app, I’m happy to make changes based on your feedback.

    For closed testing, Google requires you join a linked Google Group before downing the app.

    Step 1: Join the testing group

    🔗 https://groups.google.com/g/blorp-android-app-testers

    Step 2: Download the app

    📱 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.blorpblorp.app

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: there’s also a Lemmy community if you want to stay up to date or ask questions !blorp@lemmy.ml

     

    Android requires I have a dozen beta testers before I'm allowed to push my app, Blorp, out to the store. My app is FOSS, has matching web, iOS, and MacOS versions with more to launch (e.g. Linux). My goal is to ship one unified Lemmy experience for all Platforms.

    I'm really hoping to launch Android in the next few weeks, but I need a few more testers. If this sounds like something you're interested in, DM me with the email associated with your Android account. Google requires I add people by email to complete the required closed testing.

    Hope this is ok to post here. Genuinely I want to deliver the best Android experience possible.
