Not to mention a lot of the first part is just honestly beautiful shots of nature, while showing the curve of the earth. There’s very little that’s dunking on flat-earthers. In fact, focusing on dunking on flat-earthers is something he criticizes other youtubers for in the video.

as a whole, the Lemmy codebase feels like an excuse to play with technology the authors liked but weren’t particularly knowledgeable in.

Yes, it feels a lot like some of my personal projects where I play with new tech in some of its structure. But it also has stupid decisions.

oh god, they put all the structs in the same file and all the impl’s in different ones. Why?

Hmm the first sign may be that it doesn’t build. I think it’s expecting translations that don’t exist

I know rust and react/typescript, so I might be able to help out with this (time permitting).

Is the intention to stay fairly close to the upstream, or make the code less horrible? Also, I haven’t looked at it yet, what makes the lemmy code so bad? Not the first time I’ve heard this complaint.

Pocket casts has a webapp that works pretty well.

Not sure if you need to pay for it though, I’m grandfathered in

It’s tough to debug issues when you can’t run on the same hardware directly.

There’s a reason that arm support in open source software has exploded in the past few years, and it’s because of apple silicon.

I’ll agree that it’s easier now, with most developers using higher level runtimes, but someone’s got to get those runtimes working, and it’s much easier to develop if you have a laptop running that hardware.

Why leave paradise?
