Lawnchair is almost exactly like Pixel Launcher except you can do things like remove the search bar, change the icon counts, and stop the app tray search bar from searching the web (or switch it to another search provider).

I’ve been using it for months and couldn’t be happier.

Incidentally, it wasn’t until about 10 minutes ago that I realized “Lawnchair” is just “Launcher” if you pronounced it in a French accent.

On Android, entering lockdown mode does the same thing. You can do it by pressing volume-up and power at the same time, then tapping Lockdown.

You can’t square a circle! Not with just a compass and straight and edge.

A bot is just a piece of code that: wakes up periodically, reads from the Lemmy API, and occasionally takes some actions like posting comments via the Lemmy API.

You could write it in Python and host it on Python Anywhere as an always-on task. Costs $5/mo for the minimum account level that is allowed to have an always-on task. Then you just have to learn how to code all of the steps you mentioned using Python.

You can develop and test it for free using a free account. You can simply open a bash console and run the script that does the periodic check but doesn’t have any of the looping and sleeping an always-on script would have.

You can also make a free Django website at the same time with a button you press to run the script without having to log into the backend console. (You can use cookies so you, yourself, are always logged in.) It would only need to be refreshed once a day, and if you ever want to make it faster, you can upgrade to a $5/mo account and make your always-on task to check Lemmy every 15 minutes or something.

You would need a database (or at least a text file at first) to hold post IDs you’ve already seen and processed so you don’t spend any time with them again. The Lemmy API might have a mechanism to load all new posts after some ID or date-time. Maybe you store a last-updated date-time instead of a post ID. It depends on the API. Either way you have to make sure the process resumes in an elegant way after a crash or restart, probably by checking it’s most recent work.

You will likely want to cache all generated images for a little while to help with resuming work in the middle of a processing a batch of posts after it crashes.

It could use some retrying logic to deal with temporary internet outages without retrying too many times or spamming the API.

You also have to ensure repeated, rapid crashes of your process don’t cause accidental spamming to the API. Especially make sure you don’t make repeat comments. Check your work, see what new work there is to do, log what work you’re about to attempt as a batch, then do that work. Catch all errors while logging them in the database (or log files) for later inspection. And use that data to also help with automatic retries later.

Splitting the images and swapping the sides is the trivial part.

I do wonder if anyone has a Lemmy bot platform where all you program is the work itself. Or at least an open source template for hosting your own. Maybe everything bot-related is already done for us and we just have to make sure it has the necessary features to make it play nice.

I have no problems with either. 🤷‍♂️ The site and all of their apps work fine.

Thanks. 24.03.26 is just the date of the release

I was simply quoting the article you linked.

It’s probably just different plants. If it can’t be reproduced in the 10 years since the one study, why do you presume the study is correct?

Fast forward in emulators. Also, the menu toggle in Retro Arch.

In Dungeons of Dredmor, an old mouse and KB roguelike, the community made a good layout where every button is mapped to a keyboard key to open the various inventory and crafting windows, etc. With the track pad right there to act as a mouse, it’s honestly just as good as a mouse and KB. Maybe even better.

I think you missed a “not” in your last sentence

Bullshit

After a decade of the original study describing the species mimicry capabilities in 2014, no independent research groups have verified the field observations

Drink the Kool-aid instead and join Premium. It’s great. YouTube is my primary source of video entertainment. No ads on any device and countless thousands of hours of math and science videos, SNL clips, educational videos, game reviews, and on and on.

For the cost of two beers a month, I get access to the best video library in the world with no ads, plus saved video progress so you can resume videos later, and YouTube Music to boot.

Why everyone on Lemmy thinks everything in the world should be free when it costs money to run the servers and pay content creators is beyond me. Makes no sense.

If I read comments then tap the Android back button, the post looks read and it stays that way through refreshes, so I don’t seem to be affected. I’m on Lemmy.world, though.

Sync is full of dumb bugs and the markdown uses reddit style for everything still. A fucking year later. I wish apps like Thunder would catch up in the quality-of-life features so I can abandon Sync entirely. It’s a cobbled together port of Sync for Reddit and was never given the focus it needs, especially for the price he asks for it.

I’m on version 122 of Sync on Android.

Where are you getting that number? If I press the bug icon when editing a comment, this is what I see. (Some stuff omitted)

So… Someone gets it from their dentist and it still kills your dog. What changed? Nothing. It’s not a common sweetener. There are much more common sugar alcohols and plenty of other sweeteners entirely. Xylitol gum is sold specifically as xylitol gum because of it’s antibacterial properties.

Flac? Gross. Wav.

It’s not just a “sugar substitute”. It actively kills bacteria. It’s very good for your teeth, and treats halitosis.

It should not be banned. It has legitimate therapeutic use for people with halitosis.
