PSA: Have you heard the good word about Progressive Web Apps?

Like a web app, nothing to install. Lives in your browser tab. Cannot install toolbars or viruses or malware outside the tab.

Like a native app, you own your data. It lives in your browser tab.

Like a native app, can be completely offline. Just host it on a server somewhere as static files, load it in a browser tab. Now you have it cached on your machine, it won't expire.

The only caveat: it _can_ exfiltrate your data in the browser tab. Go forth and share small PWAs with no dependencies that are easy to inspect with eyeballs.

(People who know more, please correct/educate me. I have been utterly oblivious because every PWA I've ever seen has been the lousy kind: some Principal Agent trying to insinuate themselves into your habits, constantly call back to their servers, keep their grubby paws in your data, using a bazillion dependencies to guarantee they lose control of their supply chain and your data. Please also share all the good PWAs I have somehow never encountered.)

From the technical side anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance and view all votes, but I'm curious at what the community's perspective on how "private" that is. I think Mbin already shows upvoters? Piefed allows anonymous voting. I also know there are sites which show all voting history, but assuming those are fairly disliked.

My general questions to the community: - Do you expect your votes to be private, or just not shown in the UI? - Would per-voter votes showing up on another aggregator platform bother you, even though your instance already shares them with other servers?

For context I'm the dev doing some two way bridge interop between atproto + Threadiverse, in atproto the votes/likes are generally publicly accessible, you just look at the users repo through something like pdsls.dev, they're readable and archivable by anyone. In my opinion this isn't that big of a problem since it's fairly hard to look at and discern (Ex all my votes: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:lmdkqemqrqnfiix72pyjhfey/social.coves.feed.vote). Ultimately trying to figure out if there's already a mutual understanding that they are public and we can just mirror them or whether they should stay hidden as an aggregate.

not. at all. i consider anything i put here akin to standing on my nearest street corner during rush hour, shouting into the darkness

confused how anyone could think anything otherwise.

(Seriously though, DETECTIVE BUREAU 2-3: GO TO HELL BASTARDS! is a super fun, super pulpy movie, definitely worth seeing if you have not)

@jalefkowit 😆

If you've got potato plants growing wildly towards the sky, I know you're meant to hill them up but would it also make sense to, like, prune them a bit to remind them they're supposed to be producing roots/tubers not leaves? Or does producing more leaves now help feed more tubers later?

@apps
We are submerged with toxic information floods and the feature I would therefore find the most useful is a word filter to blacklist certain topics.
I ❤️ Feeder for that so I don't have to read about GAFAM, Trump and many other brain polluting subjects anymore. 🙂

I HAVE DONE IT.

My preliminary research for my next book, The Age of Content, involved me looking at over 5000 items where the term "content creators" explicitly appears.

I have been at this since June 2025, reading press releases, blog posts, news articles, patents, and academic publications where that term appears.

Some of it interesting. Most of it boring. All of it read and tagged by me. No AI or automation.

NOW I can write the book.

But first: a beer.

No one is ever going to come up with a better title for a movie than this. My suggestion would be to stop trying. Just make your movie title a long string of random characters

They’re not private at all, I’ve never been under the illusion that they were.

I like it, have some guts, stand on business. If people want to downvote they should be willing to attach their name to it, internet points are fake anyway.

OK, I have things coming up that I really, really need to get done.

Time to think of some new side projects.

you know the thing about the supernets spam i never understood is it would say "this network is blowjobs" like that's a bad thing?

like is supernets not sex positive or something
