Use a password manager yoooo. I spent half a decade avoiding it and said fk it one weekend and set it up. It takes some time to set it up the first time but it’s the way to go.

Install the password manager on your phone and view it on your phone. Then copy your randomly generated gibberish password with 700 characters by hand :^)

The serious answer tho is I just use a password I remember for my computer. I use a phrase so it’s easier to remember. It’s still way easier to remember 2 passwords vs like 20. Password managers also just make it more secure because it makes it super easy to use super strong unique passwords for each service.

You could technically filter them out. A few apps allow you to filter by keyword.

I think it was a typo. They meant to write “beat meat to it”

I probably can’t do youtube because it requires special API but I can support the other video sources. The app should actually already support these but I’ll double check. If you have an example post let me know.

idunnololz OP , 10 months ago

There is a patreon link on this community’s info pane but I will add one in the app as well. Thanks for the suggestion!

idunnololz OP , 10 months ago

That makes sense. Reddit api had something like content type but this is missing in the Lemmy API. Thus the only way other than to download the content is to look at the extension. I can also add custom handling by website but as you might imagine this is a nightmare to maintain as each custom website handler needs to be updated whenever there is a change on that website.

A website once complained my password contained 3 consecutive letters there were 1 away from each other. This was back when I used sentences for passwords. It was complaining about the word worst because of r-s-t.

I bought a Samsung phone years ago and had to return it. I remember feeling really conflicted when I decided to return it. Hardware wise it was the best there was at the time and the phone itself looked beautiful. On paper it was a monster. Yet it dropped frames like crazy and stuttered doing the most basic tasks. I just couldn’t justify spending that much money for a mediocre experience. Such a pity.

I use my earphones for both my PC and my phone. Seems kind of dumb I have to disconnect the dongle when I go from phone to PC and vise versa.

Fk this is going to sound so boastful but I architected Summit for Lemmy for efficiency from the ground up. Give it a try. I’m curious if you notice a difference.

idunnololz , 11 months ago

I get asked this a lot. I should really make a FAQ.

The short answer is I created Summit and work on it for my own enjoyment. I do it purely for fun. It is not open source because open sourcing it creates a lot of pain points and diminishes my enjoyment of working on the project.

If you have any questions about this I would be happy to answer them.

It’s one of the core design principles I use when making decisions about implementations. I can share some examples where this mattered.

The app is pretty aggressive about caching. This should reduce the number of unnecessary network calls. Network calls are expensive both for performance reasons and on your battery (try it out, turn on airplane mode and watch your phone last 1 week on a single charge).

Another example is unnecessary computation of changes and of UI elements. This again both increased performance and battery life.

Different people have different preferences. I respect people who can open source their app and feel no negatives about it. I’ve worked on enough open source projects to know it’s not for me.

I mean if I wanted to do it for selfless reasons I would do it but here I’m working on the project for my own enjoyment.

There are a lot of reasons why open sourcing the app would reduce my enjoyment of working on the app.

I’ll try to list some of them.

1. I feel pressured to be a role model. I understand people learn from open source code. This puts pressure on me because I feel like any code I publish needs to act like a good role model for learners. At this point writing code has turned into what I do at my job. Why would I want my personal hobby to turn into my job?
2. I’ve been writing code for a very long time and I’ve learned what I like and what I don’t like. Due to this I’m pretty anal and opinionated when it comes to my own code bases. This pretty much eliminates any chance id want anyone to contribute to my open source projects. Because again that would mean I’d have to review their code and we are back this hobby turning into my job.
3. I want full control of my own project and how the app is distributed. That means I don’t want people to fork it and then release variants of it. Honestly if that happens id just quit working on the app. So another avenue where open sourcing the project can only bring problems.

So if you look at all of this I stand to gain almost nothing from open sourcing the app and I pretty much just lose.

Tldr I like writing code. Anything that distracts from that is not enjoyable to me.

Oh, also if you want to be even more conscious about battery/performance/not hammering Lemmy servers I would recommend turning off infinite scrolling (it’s the first setting within the post list settings screen).

This should also give you more time back since it’s less addictive than infinite scrolling.

If you have anything in particular you’d like to see in the app feel free to create a post or comment on one of the release threads in the Summit community: lemmy.world/c/summit.

Also note that there is a big update coming out soon: lemmy.world/post/2064619

Pro tip: always have at least two on hand. That way you drink one to turn gay and then you can drink another to become gay gay. It then cancels out to straight again.

Yeah. Put me on a pedestal instead. I’ve got some nice ideas. Like what if we made a car with a square steering wheel? I mean we won’t know the downsides until we try.

I’ll add custom fonts to the app roadmap. You can check out !summit to see updates of the app and give feedback.
