Yeah they are trying to avoid public facing apis, that’s the major issue here. I don’t think it’s possible. I can get a definitive answer from AWS support.

I appreciate the advice! I’m thinking too that VPN will probably be the way to go.

Can you elaborate? What would it be polling?

Idk everything looks better to me? Font size looks about the same, I can see all the buttons. Scrolling is a lot smoother. This is on Safari iOS

Yeah absolutely! I know I dissed it, but I was happy to have it when I was stuck on windows for work.

Yeah my job recently started letting developers choose between windows and Mac now which is a step in the right direction… their excuse is that all their security software doesn’t run in Linux… Ill accept using a Mac over WSL though, that was a huge pain

A little background for context. I’m gamer and professional software developer. I’ve been dual booting windows 11 and pop os for awhile. Windows for games and pop os for everything else… Over the weekend I switched to NixOS. This came with a learning curve which I spent a day or so learning. I’ve been getting the hang of it now and I love it so much. I definitely recommend it. I managed to get steam working without much fiddling and my emulators. It’s been great! The benefits for programming are obvious. Allowing me to basically stop using docker dev containers.

I completely removed windows from my computer and I’m very happy.

Totally agree! Everyone is doing a great job and I like it here. I have contributed a couple PRs to Lemmy. Time and honestly mental energy makes it hard to consistently contribute to the code base.

Ooo might have to check that out

I’ve been using this for two days now on high contrast mode in Jetbrains IDEs I love it!!

Edit: wait I lied, I’m using Comic Mono, same idea though

Yeah don’t let fear inhibit you too much. I started contributing and everyone has been very helpful in the PRs , no one made me feel like an annoyance

Thanks for the detailed response! I agree with you with your thoughts on trajectory of society. I don’t have enough knowledge about earth lithium deposits to know if your statement about electric cars is true, but I was genuinely curious on your reasoning.

It’s an interesting scenario, but why count out electric cars?

What kind of space is wasted? Genuinely curious. I only really use it on my iPhone. On desktop is the comments area too narrow?

I love it so much that I started contributing to the project on GitHub

Yeah I dabbled in rust very very lightly lol But the front end is written in inferno which is very similar to react which I’m very comfortable with. All I can say is don’t fear another language! Or don’t let it be a blocker, it may take some time to figure out but if you keep at it day after day you will be amazed how it will eventually makes sense.

The rust backend, Postgres Db and UI are all available as docker images. The rust “lemmy” repo has a docker compose file (if you are familiar with the concept) allowing you to spin up the whole stack locally pretty easily if you already have docker installed.
