It's weird how in the long run, it seems you're gonna end up on the other side of pretty much every single argument you ever get involved in. If that isn't a good reason to love your enemies, IDK what is.
This doesn't explain anything. After reading it, I still have no ideas why waffles are apparently offensive, or who the hell Jesse Singal is or what he or she has done.
Not that I care much, anyway.
Basically Twitter for leftists
Well, best advice I can give you for now is to just click "Abort" whenever this happens and then try again lol
I don't work there, but I took a look at the source code and it appears that the dialog originates from here: https://github.com/PrimalHQ/primal-web-app/blob/870666becfa9e0e3adf0d7322e2ad788c799f3f1/src/contexts/AccountContext.tsx#L1049-L1055
Judging from the if-clause a few lines earlier, it does indeed check whether your updated follower list only has one account on it, and will display this dialog if it does. As to why that might happen, my best guess would be that the relay somehow returned an empty follow list.
Not sure what the best way to fix it is, since apparently this DOES sometimes happen. Perhaps a less confusing message and different options would be helpful. I'm thinking something along the lines of "Something went wrong fetching your follower list" with the options of "Try again" and "Cancel".
I mean, youβre not wrong, but this is literally the first thing anyone does when building a new compiler or OS, so itβs only fair youβd do the same.
Still, itβs a great accomplishment, because it separates the men from the boys (and the tools from the toys).
Well, first of all, I think the reason so many people are focused on Christianity is because it's the one religion that managed to come the closest to a true world religion. Truly understanding how or why it works, and why it continues to exert influence even after 2,000 years, offers a payout that's hard to beat: potentially being able to influence the minds of nearly 1/3rd of the world's population.
Second, there is the question of what religion IS in the first place. Is it just a system of rules to live your life by, or is there more to it? Because even though all major religions seem to agree on the basic rules (don't murder, don't steal, etc.), it's clear that such rules aren't enough to live successfully, and they can occasionally become too restrictive, to the point of presenting a burden. However, breaking any of them is not something one should take lightly, because the punishment can be severe.
Perhaps the real power of religion lies in harnessing the global unconscious. A lot of people have managed to gain a lot of power, wealth, and influence by being able to correctly identify trends and riding them long enough to make a name for themselves. But like waves in the ocean, no trend lasts forever, and it is not just about how well you ride the wave when you catch it, but also how well you handle its inevitable reversal.
The question is, who makes the waves? Is there someone in charge of it, or do they just happen all by themselves? Perhaps even the best and brightest do not know the answer, and neither do any of the so-called authorities. But that does not mean they can just be ignored at will, just like the basic rules cannot easily be broken. No authority can remain forever if it only exists by decree, because one day the waves are going to wash it away.
Ultimately, it all seems to come down to the ability to be in the right place at the right time β being able to read the waves well enough to predict their movement patterns, and making the right effort at the right time in order to ride them, and then getting out before they can crush you. No authority can teach you that, because it all comes down to practice.
Uhh bad news unfortunately β while xAI is indeed now working, DeepSeek is not.
Will be posting a bug report with more on GitLab details shortly.
Thanks for your help! I've added as much detail as I could on each issue in GitLab, hopefully that will be helpful.
No problem. I do have some more questions though, if you don't mind.
- If I enter an API token in the settings, where is that stored? In the browser's LocalStorage? (Same for GitHub/GitLab access token)
- What exactly is the Nostr account in the settings used for?
Also, I did notice a few other issues:
- xAI integration isn't working (at least for me). I always get the following error no matter which model I choose (I was able to use DeepSeek as a custom provider however β would be nice though if that was added to the default list): 
- The debug output isn't very useful: it only shows the error message but no stack trace or even file name / line number: 
- Using the web inspector to debug the app, as suggested here: https://soapbox.pub/blog/debugging-in-shakespeare isn't super productive since the preview seems to be running production mode (meaning all the JS is minified and squashed into a single file, and no source maps either)
- When using git in the Shakespeare terminal, it does not show of the any local commits that the AI made. Since there appears to be no other way to inspect commit diffs to see what exactly was changed (clicking on the commits in the chat log or the rollback history only shows the commit message, nothing else), this seems pretty essential.
Hopefully this list is useful and does not come across as overly critical (and hopefully it's also not just another case of me being an idiot). I do love the overall concept of Shakespeare and I want it to be great.
Nobody could have seen this coming...
"We'll pay you for giving up your privacy, but don't worry, we'll make sure to preserve your privacy."
So I thought about this again and it occurred to me that calling someone a piece of shit, especially in public, on their home turf so to speak, probably didn't exactly help your case.
Social networks, whether IRL or on the Internet, tend to form around certain world views, because people tend to enjoy being around others who share the same viewpoints more than they do being around those who don't.
But all world views are flawed in some way, and pretty much all of them presuppose that whenever there's something wrong with the world, it's always someone else's fault. For Christians, it's the devil's fault, for Atheists, it's the Christians' fault; for Republicans, it's the Liberals' fault, and for Liberals, it is of course the Republicans' fault.
Now I'm pretty sure that Lemmy users aren't so stupid that it hasn't begun dawning on them that killing Charlie Kirk MAY have been a huge mistake, because he left behind a legacy that none of their vitriol can ever erase, and that's not exactly going to help them win many friends in the upcoming years. But those among them who have realized this are likely keeping their mouths shut because they don't want to get in the way of the people who are nevertheless still trying to desecrate his corpse.
Basically, what you did is like going to someone's house and calling them an idiot in front of their entire family β of course they're most likely going to throw you out in order to save face, even if they secretly feel like you might have a point, simply because they want the freedom to come to the realization on their own time.
Right now, their anger is still larger than their doubts, and they're going to keep hacking away at him some more, just like they did with Kyle Rittenhouse, hoping that some cracks will appear in the clean facade. And when they don't, they'll likely just give up in a couple of months and simply never speak of him again.
They probably won't ever admit fault or seek reconciliation, and the best thing you can likely hope for is that a few them have woken up to the fact that they're friends with people who believe it's okay to murder someone in cold blood over a difference in opinion, and that's a dangerous place to be. And unless they somehow manage to convince the rest of Lemmy that this was a bridge too far, and didn't help their cause AT ALL, their best course of action is likely to just quietly leave the community altogether, the same way Lot left Sodom and Gomorrah.
But if you do want remain anyways, and try to preach the good word in the hopes that the community can be saved, I would suggest not calling them demons to their faces, because that's not going to work if the demons outnumber you. Instead, try to cast doubt on the viability of their belief system. Help them realize that if they advocate for murdering people for their opinions, they are also advocating for themselves being murdered for their opinions.
Nostr is basically just a giant electronic bulletin board. Each relay hosts their own version of it, and each day people come and posts their notes all over it. The crypto signatures are like handwritten ones, once you've learned to recognize someone's writing (added their npub to your follow list), you can reliably identify all of their other posts.
The only reason it doesn't get overwhelming is because computers can sort and search through the sheer avalanche of notes posted every single day in milliseconds to find you the ones you're actually interested in.
The most shocking thing about this is that they actually admitted it.
I canβt think of many things more tone deaf than going to a music festival to brag about your plans for more censorship.
GM Nostr. Did anyone order a wakeup call?
It's pretty neat, but somewhat limited. If you want a more full-featured desktop AI client, try https://github.com/nbonamy/witsy
I bet the Japanese have already done this
Well, they haven't managed to build that wall, have they? So what makes you think they'd be more competent at disarming people?
Remember prohibition, when they tried to ban alcohol? Did that stop people from drinking? So yeah, there are definitely things the US government can't do.
But since you're apparently eager to explore other options, have you considered treating gender dysphoria as a mental health issue and figuring out how to help people accept their birth sex instead of promoting transgenderism as the cure? Seems like there's been a whole slew of trans-identified shooters recently, clearly something is not working with that approach.
They changed it to English now
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that fragment the network and break these heatmap web apps (like bitmap.lat) because they cannot track events globally anymore? Unless they connect to all 300 georelays, I guess. Which seems possible for a dedicated spammer, but if hundreds of people are doing it from their browsers, it would likely be an issue.
It's not everyday that you get to see someone else experiencing something for the first time.
Well, unless you have young kids, I guess. Or YouTube reaction videos.
