governorkeagan OP , to asklemmy in How are private front-ends built without APIs?

I’ve got a feeling it’s a static site but I’ll confirm to make sure.

governorkeagan OP , to asklemmy in How are private front-ends built without APIs?

I’m referring to the fact that they don’t use or have major rate limits on the APIs that they use for either Reddit or YouTube, respectively.

governorkeagan OP , to asklemmy in How are private front-ends built without APIs?

Interesting, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info!

governorkeagan OP , to asklemmy in How are private front-ends built without APIs?

You’ve given me a great jumping off point, thank you!

governorkeagan OP , to asklemmy in How are private front-ends built without APIs?

It’s not very slow to scrape a website. Works quite well.

That’s good to know, I’ll look into that some more. I was thinking that it might be slow if I’m having to scrape each page, every time a user changes categories (or something similar).

The trouble with that is that it breaks easily when they change something on their site.

I completely forgot about that :(

governorkeagan , to linux in Sell us on your favorite exotic/niche distro

I really wanted to try BlendOS but the installer didn’t work at all for me and a couple others (this was when v4 was released). Haven’t tried again recently though.

I couldn’t even get the installer to work. Tried a couple times but it just wouldn’t install so I gave up on it - still want to try it though

governorkeagan OP , to nostupidquestions in What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?

I hate having to manually deselect all of the cookies/consent toggles, just to get to the end and they have the “accept all” look like the “confirm choice”.

governorkeagan OP , to nostupidquestions in What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?

Thanks for the explanation!

Legitimate interest makes complete sense with something like an online shop, but trying to read a news article/blog post, do I really need to have 100s of vendors claiming “legitimate interest”?

governorkeagan OP , to nostupidquestions in What makes it “Legitimate Interest“?

How does legitimate interest work?

Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.

governorkeagan , (edited ) to asklemmy in What are some alternatives to Google Maps?

True to some extent. I know there’s been a big effort to get buildings mapped in the US, but it’s not always possible to get house/street numbers from aerial imagery.

Once buildings are mapped you can either add the remainder of the details with on the ground mapping (e.g using an app like StreetComplete) or if the data (e.g from the government) becomes open and available to use.

I tested it with car play the other day. Worked fine, except for a strange issue with orientation after using the UI.

OsmAnd is free with enough contributions to OpenStreetMap.

Personally, I was using MagicEarth for public transport when needed but it’s stopped working for some reasons. Once Organic Maps gets support for public transport (currently it only provides train times for me), I’ll fully move there. It’s great for everything else though!

governorkeagan , to linux in Developing GUI app on Immutable Distros

I’ve used Bluefin and Aurora for some light web development. I created a container with toolbox (I assume things would be similar with distrobox) and did what I needed. When I needed, I could run npm start and it was as if I had developed locally.
