A microkernel wouldn’t be that useful without a stable module interface, which won’t be coming anytime soon.

It only becomes an image to me when outside of a code/preformatted block. Inside of one, it contains the raw markdown verbatim: <code class="hljs">!<span class="hljs-selector-attr">[alt]</span>(url)</code>.

I think that it’s the backend that screws the “url” up. Everything looks good in the preview, but the “url” part disappears upon publishing.

Looks like it’s using markdown-it, a Rust port of a JavaScript library with the same name.

It looks unmaintained. Last commit is from 2 years ago and issues look inactive. (including one asking asking about the maintenance status)

But it shouldn’t do that when enclosed in a code/preformatted block?

Nice alt text, very concise!

The syntax for images in markdown is .

Edit: Feels ridiculous to have to use a real image for this. Lemmy really seems to dislike image-like formatting in code blocks.

A hall of fame I kind of want to be in. Perhaps I should take up posting.

P.S. I noticed that your image is missing alt text. Something like “Long list of users who allegedly harass Rimu” would probably fit.

Which one?

I’m not sure what the correct terms are, so I’ll refer to in-app/in-client notifications as internal notifications and mobile-style out-of-app notifications as external notifications.

Based on what people usually refer to with the word “notification” in the context of social applications and messaging services, and your comment, I’m assuming you’re talking about external notifications. If you mean all notifications in general, I’ve misunderstood your point and can ignore the rest of this comment. I do think that internal notifications are useful.

I’m not saying that external notifications are useless, but rather that I don’t feel that they’re as important as you seem to make it out to be.

Also, even if your Lemmy client doesn’t support external notifications, Lemmy supports RSS, which you can subscribe to with a different application.

It should probably facilitate discussions then

Discussions do not have to be between only two people, others can continue where someone else left off.

People often need to continue conversations to clarify information & elaborate…

This is true, but it doesn’t require notifications outside of the client. For example, I noticed your reply as Lemmy’s web UI showed that I had an unread message.

I don’t mind continuing a discussion over multiple days, though I’m not sure if this applies to everyone.

Shades of Mastodon users justifying suicidal design choices that were later rolled back here.

Could you elaborate? I don’t use Mastodon, as I don’t see the value in “micro-blogging” and prefer to follow topics rather than people.

As for the rest of your comment, I too disagree with blocking VPNs & Tor to fix their CSAM problem, but I don’t see how that is relevant to this discussion? Though I do not mind if you want to discuss that instead.

Notifications are actually very important for people who treat platforms interchangeably.

How so? At least, I don’t think that they’re important to Lemmy, as it’s not about real-time person-to-person communication, but rather discussion about topics.

I meant the satellite part.

Can you really surveil a large enough area accurtely enough for it to work?

-stipation

But that would be communist!

Don’t you know that a society can’t be truly free unless the ones with power have the freedom to oppress those who don’t?

No problem, happy to help!

I’m not sure how or if Piefed’s UI shows it, but posts are written in Markdown.

When you add an image, text gets added to your post or comment in the following format: ![alt text](image url). So, in your post the “image” is just the string ![bTUDGZRAcKZdXyO.png](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.piefed.zip%2Fposts%2FbT%2FUD%2FbTUDGZRAcKZdXyO.png), which clients (Lemmy’s & Piefed’s web UI and applications) replace with the actual image.

So, if your post/comment editor has an option with something like “source”, “plain text” or “Markdown” in the name, you can enter a description for the image in the brackets right after the exclamation mark.

Fixed image example: ![Unfinished Projects - In solidarity we can build a future that benefits us all.](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.piefed.zip%2Fposts%2FbT%2FUD%2FbTUDGZRAcKZdXyO.png)

The alt text is used by things like screen readers, and even normal browsers, if the image fails to load. So, something like the following might be better:

Logo of Unfinished Projects, with the tagline “In solidarity we can build a future that benefits us all”

If anything is still unclear, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.

Edit: Lemmy keeps “fixing” “https://media.piefed.zip/posts/bT/UD/bTUDGZRAcKZdXyO.png” to a proxied url for some reason. If you copy the Markdown from this comment, please fix it on your end, as I can’t seem to on mine.

A small nitpick, but could you do something about the image alt text in your post? A filename, especially a non descriptive one, is not exactly great for accessibility.

Real or imaginary billions?

It looks like the pull requests were authored by humans, then edited by the bot. I use codeberg, not github, so I’m not that familiar with the service. Does github have some kind of opt-in/opt-out llm editor feature, or is the bot just going around editing random pull requests?
