If I didn’t hear the fire alarm, I certainly won’t hear your call.
Ask me anything.
I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks
If I didn’t hear the fire alarm, I certainly won’t hear your call.
Phone calls also assume the person on the other end wants to be bothered. If you choose to not answer, you’re treated like the a-hole and are expected to explain why (“I’ve been trying to call you. Why haven’t you picked up?”)
“A telephone is a fantastically rude thing. I mean, it’s like going ‘speak to me now! Speak to me now! Speak to me now!’. If you went to someone’s office and banged on their desk and said, ‘I will make a noise until you speak to me’ it would be considered unbelievably rude.”
That is horrifying but also very impressive soldering.
Have they actually proven this is a good idea, or is this a “so preoccupied with whether or not they could” scenario?
It’s businesses “throwing AI into stuff”, so I’m going to say it’s a safe bet it’s the latter.
Yep, 100%.
In college, I worked at a call center for one of the worst Banks of America (oops, meant banks in America 😉). Can confirm that, and I dealt with a LOT of angry customers.
This is giving me Black Mirror vibes. Like when that lady’s consciousness got put into a teddy bear, and she only had two ways to express herself:
I get that you shouldn’t go off on customer service reps (the reason you’re angry is never their fault), but filtering out the emotion/intonation in your voice is a bridge too far.
These are the two I’m sub’d to:
!dogs@lemmy.world but it’s mostly just pictures of dogs / eye bleach
Keeping an eye on this post to see if any other good ones get posted.
AFAIK, the grouping is done by the API only when you’re viewing a post and by the UI when you’re browsing the feed. Unless 0.19.4 changed this, the call to list posts doesn’t return crosspost data and it has to be done client-side. I’ve grumbled about this a lot lol.
Yeah, like 99% sure, anyway (unless something changed in 0.19.4 I’m unaware of). lol Got an example?
It’ll only show ones the instance knows about, and the URL has to be exactly the same. I’m not sure if there’s an internal limit to the number of crossposts the API will return, but I’ve seen spam posts show at least 7 or 8 crossposts in the list. Any more than that, and I’ve usually already banned the person for spamming.
The posts that show up under “Crossposts” just have the same URL. They don’t have to actually be crossposted. Any post your instance knows about that has the same URL as the one you’re viewing will show up there.
To answer @mark@programming.dev 's question, there’s nothing really special about crossposting in Lemmy. It works the same as creating a new post except it just pre-fills the URL, body, and title as well as adding crossposted from https://instance.xyz/post/12345
to the top of the post body. They’re separate posts and the only link between them is they’re matched on the URL and show up in the “Crossposts” list.
Nice!
It’s possible, yes.
At the very least, the Tesseract UI allows you to group communities and browse them as a single feed. It doesn’t do group posting (yet?) because I’m still not sure how best to implement that (or whether to at all) since it can be spammy.
All that is done in the frontend, and it works, but it would be much better if the backend supported it.
Not sure if other UIs offer similar functionality yet, but it’s definitely possible.
Good to know. And just good in general. lol. It was a fairly simple feature to implement, and I was hoping more UIs would adopt something like that.
Tesseract has for a while, but I’m not sure which, if any, other frontends do.
Ha, thanks. I don’t take half-measures. That’s to say when I delete a post, I purge it as well, so it’s gone gone.
Mine was Thursday, but some asswipes decided to drive-by downvote the anniversary post, so I got demoralized and deleted it.
And anywhere it renders an image (markdown, posts, avatars/icons, banners, etc), the image source is set via imageProxyURL(url)
. There’s extra optional params for size and format if the image source is served by pict-rs.
You’re missing a lot.
I’ve done exactly what I described in my comment for the last 8 months: it’s been a UI feature of Tesseract since last October.
It proxies any image or direct video from any source you haven’t blacklisted. If you have the proxy option enabled in your settings, all image URLs are re-written to go through the proxy. If not, then it uses the regular URL directly. It also caches with an admin-defined policy.
You missed “synergize backwards overflow” but other than that, I think you hit most of the business buzzwords.
