  • No, it’s really beautiful! Although it did create a new problem for me to solve for the lemmy client app I’m developing.

    So here’s the problem: how can one distinguish a real mod from a display name/username looking like a mod?

    One way is to put up a “mod badge” in the UI.

    I hated this option, as it didn’t fit well with my general design. I wanted a color only method of mod identification. The problem with this is, well usernames similar to yours. What if a user just changes their username to the color green?

    That increases the chances of someone being fooled by a fake mod.

    I tried putting animated text for mods for this. Then, my performance degraded like crazy. I still haven’t solved this problem. For now, I’m still doing the color identification way. Let’s see, when all major features have been implemented, I’ll go on to work on this again.







  • <3 wow it is a big coincidence! i wish your lemmy client app becomes very famous :D

    Awww thanks!! <3

    is it an ios app?

    Yes, eventually. I’m developing in react native (one codebase, many platforms). I own an Android though, so all physical testing is on this phone. Therefore, all alphas and stuff like that are being built for Android for now. Unfortunately, building and testing for iOS is a massive pain in the ass. I think I would have to take the help of some iOS dev for this in the future/get an old iPhone or something.

    do you want to share the link if it is available for everyone to download?

    Aww thanks for the interest! It’s not ready enough imo to share it publicly for now. However, it’s getting there quickly! Can’t wait for the day I can share the repo link on the Lemmy app development communities!




  • It’s still a step in the right direction tho, eh? Of course, it needs other policies in addition to it like:

    • MANY preapproved house designs to spend less time in bureaucracy. I think Carney’s already doing that, right?
    • Removing single family zoning. This comes under provincial/municipal governments from what I know. My municipality has already done this.
    • The big tax thing you suggested. I would go ahead and say that there should be an outright ban on owning more than 2/3 properties by private individuals/corporations (this excluded non profit housing coops). But yeah, it’ll be wildly unpopular. See how the carbon tax turned out.

    From now on, I’m going to call it the “Pacific ocean”, where the first c is pronounced as “c” and the last one as “c”.

    Also what a missed opportunity to call it the pacifi-c! Get it? The pacifi-sea? I’m very funny I know haha I should start a standup comedy show I will earn millions and I will become rich and famous and make my homies proud. Baking a cake requires four ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder and grandma’s heart. By heart, I mean her love. Not her heart actually. That will kill her. But she is already dead :( I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(. I am sad. I will bake a cake. But no grandma, so no cake. I am sad :(.



  • thank you so much for the suggestions; do you know if there is a way to use Organic Maps on iphone?

    No worries <3! Isn’t it on the App store? On looking it up, it shows that it’s available here. I don’t know though, as I don’t own any Apple devices.

    I did use LibreOffice many years ago … i should give it a try once again.

    Definitely! I’m a sucker for the native gtk apps. So I may be a little biased when I say this, but it’s WAY better than Microsoft office from a UI standpoint. All Microsoft products just feel cheap to me.

    also, you have no idea how happy you made me by giving me my first comment on my first lemmy post!!

    Awww I’m so glad haha. Guess what? I’m developing a Lemmy client app right now, and this is the first “real” comment I made which was outside the pure test oriented comments! Interesting firsts, eh?
