It's Lemmy. People see Google or AI and hate on everything related by default. IMO, this is, at least conceptually, a good feature. With the increase in bike riders, bother casual and fitness related, this has the ability to increase safety. I'm surprised Garmin beat Google to the punch on this one. Hopefully it becomes ubiquitous with fitness wearables, so in areas where there aren't clear bike lanes, riders don't have to be concerned about drivers.

Why does it seem like any time the answer favours Lemmy, Piefed is marked as unknown?

I own a lifetime license of Niagara and Grace is my daily driver. So many small things just make it a much better user experience for me. The Niagara developers feel like they lost touch with the community. They added a feature which then became a stock feature in Android, so that was just bad luck, but then they obsessed over themes and didn't add any new features or attempt to fix persistent bugs. Even their flagship feature, Anycons, they refuse to add new app icons or improve the algorithm, so it's like what's the point. And not to mention the absolute trash concept which is limiting the amount of devices you can install it on.

Even after reading the article, I'm wondering if they forgot some zeros?

This comment just made me way too happy. Thank you!

Exactly!

This is actually my second account, my first instance died. RIP lemmy.tf!

I don't editorialise titles at all. I scroll through CapyReader, see something I think is worth sharing, open it in Firefox for Android, press share, select Summit, use the autofill for the title and then hope that it gains traction.

Narrator voice: In most cases it doesn't.

You've presumably read the explanations and the fact that Rimu is less than pleased with how this kind of thing works, and is open to better ideas. Still-- it addresses a real, known issue, and let's not forget that hand-built, volunteer-based social media software like this is inevitably going to have growing pains like this. You know?

🥺 I genuinely have zero reason to interact with piefed.social. He/his software has come to harass me and now I'm expected to go read the explanation? With all due respect, it's a piefed problem, not a me problem. I've been posting from before piefed even existed. The explanation is akin to devout religious people who take issue with homosexuality making random people in their city prove they're not homosexual because they breathe the same air as them. As I said, it's a massive and weird overreach.

This is actually my least favourite track off the album. But I'll go back with fresh ears based solely on your love of it.

For the record, 4k posts because I care and want the fediverse to be a success for people like me with interests like me. I post things relevant to me, things I find interesting, fascinating, things I'd like to learn more about or things I think need more attention. In my opinion, that's what everyone should do. It's how I'm able to avoid All and enjoy my Subscriptions timeline full of content I'm actually interested in.

I think this is a massive overreach on the part of piefed and actually discourages posting.

As someone that doesn't post on any piefed instance, why is it bothering me? I'm not on the fediverse to be tracked or authenticate myself. If I wanted that bullshit, I'd join Reddit, X or one of Meta's apps. There needs to be safeguards around features not harassing people. Especially people that don't even use their instance.

I've gone back 20 days in my posting history, haven't made a single post to a piefed community outside of this post here.

Since when do I have to authenticate my ID or my human status to instances I don't use?

It's actually weird and rude. I don't know if I should be offended or flattered.

For the record, I have an instance of Miniflux running and share the majority of my posts from there manually. Outside of that, I've shared a few Ed Sheeran things from my YouTube feed and I occasionally share my friends YouTube animations.

I don't even have a bookmarklet set up to share posts as I exclusively use mobile devices. Not sure why I should even have to defend myself.

Rude and weird.

Shouldn't have taken so long. But glad they got there in the end.
