important instance shit @awful.systems

Lemmy 0.19.12, NixOS 25.05, Postgres 16

  • I've just enabled authorized_fetch; give it a try and see if it works!

  • I'm finally on desktop and the tooltip claims "show hidden posts" and "hide hidden posts"? so that's new

  • this might be a federation breakage, or the queue catching up

  • I have yet to see any roving Brave infosec mall ninjas react to the fact that they plan to do this agentic AI shit too:

    Brave gets credit for finding this exploit in Comet, so well done! But how did they find it? Well, Brave is trying to do its own AI agent web browser. Even though this is a fundamentally stupid idea that cannot be secured.

  • it’s definitely slightly more modern (derogatory) but I don’t think I can agree on it being sleeker

  • my lemmy came preconfigured for eyes? where we’re going we don’t need eyes

  • god somehow it’s even worse in the inbox — the whole thing turns to a gigantic placeholder every time you mark a post as read. it’s such a React problem for software to have

  • yep! I haven’t tried to turn it back on for a.s yet, since last time I did it quietly broke federation for an uncomfortably long period. once we’ve shaken the bugs out of plain federation, I’ll give it a toggle and we can do some testing.

  • you might be seeing the new version of Lemmy in bits and pieces as your browser grabs the new stylesheet (cachebusting should have prevented this? note to self to make sure that’s not broken again)

    so anyway welcome to the new, uglier Lemmy that’s larger in general but somehow worse on mobile

  • important instance shit @awful.systems

    we made it to lemmy 0.19.12 but federation feels off

  • hey fucker, this trash is the new software you love? fuck you

  • how did they all choose this weekend to find us? it’s like they’re trying to get their bans in before the downtime

  • I have plenty of help! one of the people who actually post here are gonna come help me tell you to fuck yourself! isn’t that fun?

  • oh woe is me, never in all my 68 posts have I seen such rudeness

  • oh no the downvotes

    don’t let the door hit you on the way the fuck out
