I plan on experimenting with the suggestions posted here. That way I can narrow down where the problem is

The live website works on desktop and mobile. The offline folder works well on desktop, but it has issues on mobile, such as the search bar not working

That would work

I’ll check it out

Thank you, I’ll try those

This doesn’t answer the Linux part, but on FDroid there’s something similar as “Retro Stack”

Thank you for sharing! This is my first project like this so I’ve got lots to learn. I’m going to try and contribute to a few other ones so try and learn what it’s like

Good to know, could you share what website you were trying to post from?

I think one thing I should implement is a little toast message that explains what went wrong (ex. No title contents found)

Sorry to those that have already seen this. I’m trying to space out the posts so it’s not in a large clump in your feeds. People have different subscription lists, so I’m trying to reach those that haven’t seen it yet.

These are the last 4 posts :)

Oops, I definitely did

Should be fixed now

I was so excited when I finally got it working :)

There ARE other downsides to this law, outside of the hissy fit Facebook is throwing.

For example, smaller independent news companies don’t have the bargaining power to come to a fair agreement with Facebook, like the larger organizations can. A solution to that might be to have some standard rates set up, but again, don’t know enough about it

I don’t agree with the solution the government came up with, but the problem still exists and I don’t understand it well enough to come up with an alternative solution.

Making news is expensive, and good quality news (not mucked up by corporate interests) needs a way to fund that work. We don’t want news to be an outlet for corporations investing in a mouthpiece. So traditionally this was done through advertising.

Now people barely ever click through to the websites so the advertising doesn’t work. Meanwhile the places where people ARE seeing the news do have ads. The content is produced by one party, and the profit goes to another.

The problem exists and needs a solution, but I don’t know what it might be. Australia brought in a similar law successfully and Facebook/Google came to a deal. Canada might also be able to do that?

The other long term solution IMO is to make the platforms obsolete with things like Mastodon and Lemmy. That might take some time though

Not really emergency notifications but news, which tbh isn’t as important in this case because non-Canadian news orgs aren’t affected and are covering it too. So there isn’t an immediate risk I don’t think.

As for the main point: The problem is that a subset of the population ONLY gets information through one platform. The only way to reach them is through that platform, and not reaching them means excess costs when you have to rescue/treat/otherwise deal with the fallout. It’s also the government’s job to inform people and keep them safe.

At the same time, the companies need to be regulated by the government. Can’t just let them have free reign because they seized control

Yep, it works perfectly

Bitwarden has it too, but eggs in one basket etc.

Yea someone actually just commented on the API and I should be able to find posts by link/title on other instances. Previously I was trying with the simple URL manipulation, but this would be a reasonable workaround. I’ll give it a try soon :)

That was one of the first things I wanted out of this project, so it would be amazing to get it going

What’s a good place to get/hold domains these days?

I need to set up a proper roadmap, the closest I have right now is https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant/wiki

RES for Lemmy would probably be an end goal, and at this point I’m not sticking to any particular area. It’s more that I’m working on the things that I figured out how to do since I’m learning lots as I go. For example, multi-account switcher is a commonly requested feature from RES and something I’d really like to use myself, but I’d need someone with more experience to check my code to make sure I’m not leaking account details anywhere.

Having default sorts should be possible, and a simple way might be to just check the URL. So if on a lemmy site & on home page, it would check if “dataType”=Post and if “sort”=“TopDay”, and if not it will swap the URL. I’ll see if it works in practice and maybe push it in the next update :)

I recently tried to get some self hosted music going, using old CDs I had for example. It’s such a hassle moving things over, even when the automated software tags the files correctly (which only happened half the time)

TV and movies are easy enough to manage your own files for, because it’s a lot more organized and categorizable. With music it’s a mess, and not something worth doing for me.

Also I listen to so much music that it’s nice being able to let it fetch similar music for hours and hours.
