…just this guy, you know.
at this point the codebase is in daily flux, it really comes down to RTFS. the transition from websockets to http seems to be mostly in-place, so there may be some opportunity to begin normalizing the docs.
totally agreed on the need for more complete and accurate documentation, but without an auto-documenting sourcecode framework, I would expect API documentation to lag. in the meantime we just live life on the edge - it will improve over time.
edit: word
I joined your micromobility community from lemmy.ml - it should now appear in searches from this instance.
right to your very soul.
this has been one reason for the “nuke your content, keep your account” idea. whenever you feel the urge hop back onto reddit and gently and politely drop the fact that Lemmy exists.
but honestly, do whatever works for you and keeps you engaged in user centric federated social.
'tis enough, friend!
damn happy to have you here!
indeed. DARPA for the wi… err…
edit: love your username, btw.
this is one of those perfect, timeless comments.
currently, no - but it is on the roadmap. moving house atm means creating a new account on another instance.
remember… federation is your friend. federation gives you the freedeom to change house (instance) and/or look for better communities on any other federated instance from your own instance.
you got it, my friend! you got it!
consider yourself engaged. I can haz ring?
but, in a better world, circumvention should never be needed. with peertube, lemmy, mastodon, et al. there is no concept of circumvention - there is nothing to circumvent. thats the end goal here, at least for me (and I hope for others as well)
YT has been playing games with 3rd party viewers forever. the number of times 3rd party viewers have had to rush out new builds to circumvent the latest YT breakage is disheartening.
At some point google will permanently wall off its garden to trap its users. what then, my friend?
and a “hi” backatcha!
exactly. the internet was historically much more decentralized. laziness, ignorance and apathy got us to the centralized mess we are in today.
we (the unwashed masses of the world) cant directly compete on raw dedicated bandwidth and storage, but we can complete on quality and raw decentralized accessibility. the decentralization helps to mitigate the centralized storage and bandwidth advantages of the big players.
with enough federated instances, we will have a massively redundent medium through which like minded users can congregate and share ideas in a federated and self organizing way. the possibilities are pretty damn tantalizing.
abuse of the user is pretty much baked into every corporate owned, centralized service. I mean, it literally creates an abusive power dynamic. walking away is often the only option and, without alternatives, that can be difficult.
Federated social is important because it offers and alternative that breaks the cycle of abusive and empowers the content creators and consumers again.
my apologies for using possible trigger words and concepts above, but I am so sick and tired of the same cycle time after time. we need this change.
because, sometimes, having your program vomit all over your console is the best way to remain focused on the problem.
