Thousands of subreddits chose to go dark in an ongoing protest over the company's plan to start charging certain third-party developers to access the site’s data.
Wow. Front page of huffpost.com right now. Interesting…
Just fyi, when posting links to communities, you should just use the “/c/” without the link to the instance. Like this: /c/[email protected]
This is similar to how those links were done on reddit (/r/). The problem with your link is that it is instance specific, which is really helpful for anyone in your instance, but anyone in a different instance will be thrown out of their instance if they click it (they’ll be unable to subscribe).
just remember that jerboa is very much in alpha and needs more developers to implement the finer stuff like this.
the guy currently working on it is also a developer of lemmy itself, so he doesnt have much time for the app. if you happen to have some android dev knowledge, please see if you could contribute!
oh shoot, I’m not familiar with it at all myself and didn’t know it needed you to have decent specs.
out of curiosity, what sort of specs are required at bare minimum and why? I’m guessing maybe for the android emulator to work properly, though in this age of insane, bloated electron software, anything could be the culprit, even the IDE :')
According to most delvopers, you need at least 8gbs of ram and a half decent CPU. For best results 16+GB of ram is better running the emulator. You can thank google getting jetbeans to make the IDE for the language (kotlin)
dark times for people who think software should (gasp!) actualy be efficient in its use of system resources and not require you to buy a new machine every 5 years. we’re heading the wrong way, and don’t remotely seem to be slowing down.
the worst example is web development; it’s gotten to the point that people are installing “desktop apps” that are in essence separate copies of chromium that only work on one website. when did software start going backwards, and how to stop it?
One on lemmy.ml and one on kbin.social. But Lemmy’s moderator labeled as “deleted by user” even though community is more active compared to one over kbin
Ooh is there a mechanical keyboards lemmy yet??

When I click your link, I’m getting kicked out of Jerboa…
me too, but still helpful advice for web users

I wanted to get into android dev space but I don’t have a computer powerful enough.

Thank you, I will use this in the future!
