I’m not sure why you’ve been downvoted. You are completely correct. There is a trail of partially finished projects. Pixelfed itself is in beta after years and years (and competitors seizing the opportunity with more polished products) , there’s SUP, Loops and that fedi directory to name three more.

Very good. I was going for The Woman with Half Her Leg Missing but Footloose is fantastic. I salute you.

You don’t feel much difference because they aren’t ten degrees hotter. OP is mistaken.

Dogs are 1 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than adult humans not 10. A temperature above 104°F needs urgent veterinary help.

Note that human babies and young children are also warmer than adults by about a degree.

Yeah, and some have screens on the front and back of the monitors. And those keyboards have hundreds of keys.

Is it “There’s too many legs and arms”?

Really wish people would learn how to use AI.

yes, there’s lots wrong with picture.

There’s AI and then there’s “Oh my God, one of them has a foot pointing backwards”

The first record I chose was Ma Na Ma Na by the Muppets. The first record bought with my own money was Never for Ever by Kate Bush

Also, old.

Nothing really changed. Some people who would have taken a ferry changed to the tunnel. But flights became cheaper so the number of people using ferries dropped anyway.

Had you been able to drive straight through then it would have had a bigger effect.

That’s not my point. If you read back up the chain of comments I’m saying there’s a real need for a native app (given that Lemmy apps won’t always be compatible with it)

(And you’ve quoted a part of the post taken out of context 🙂)

That’s not what I’m thinking about. Was hoping not to get too technical (I’ll try to keep thing simple) but there’s a general concern with PWAs that mean they can only support less secure authentication compared to a native app.

For example, if a device is used offline then a PWA can’t authenticate , so anyone who picks up the device can see the users content. There’s a way around this using what’s called a “service worker” which uses device storage but this would need to be different for each device type and some devices won’t persist between sessions. Also, if a user is in an online session then closes the PWA app, goes offline and then back into the app then the service worker will generate an error.

There are other Lemmy specific issues as well I don’t completely remember the detail but it relates to web clients not being able to set a custom cookie header to ensure compatibility (CORS limitation) There’s an explanation somewhere in the Voyager community but I couldn’t immediately scroll back enough to find it.

There is more than one Dev (check GitHub) but no action has taken place since last year.

Aren’t there problems with authentication that cause security concerns when using a PWA?

Which is why the native apps are preferred for Voyager.

Yes, my point is that an App or apps should be part of the design from the outset (see Pixelfed) Good planning rather than chance and potentially messing / confusing people.

That was my reason for asking about sublinks apps.

I know that devs like web interfaces but the truth is you need apps if anything social is going to become established.

It’s a sad fact in the fediverse that routinely apps or even front end GUI aren’t compatible. There’s only so many times this can happen (or instances shut down or not be maintained) before it all becomes a bit much.

So I think relying on Lemmy apps is a mistake.

I’m confused now, the post above says that there will be initial compatibility but after that (presumably as sublinks evolves) Lemmy apps will have to display as best they can.

Are there any apps being developed for Sublinks?

That’s not right Matrix was never going to become Element.

As none of the developers had done anything since August, I believe there was an attempt by someone else back in November to get it working /fork Liftoff! but the code was not in a good state and because of the way it works would be very difficult.
