Thanks for the info! I might brave it if weather holds up then.

What's the best Matrix client? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've never used Matrix, and I'm overwhelmed at all the options and feature criteria on the project website.

I'd prefer a native app over electron/similar, but ideally would like something that works on most desktop platforms (windows, mac, linux), although I'm open to it if it is truly superior.

I've been wanting to do this but the bridge being down and the cold have stopped me! Did you just do it as an out and back?

How Ivy League Admissions Broke America (www.theatlantic.com)
 

The title doesn't do it justice; A history of the creation of competitive selective enrollment at educational institutions (not limited to the Ivies), and a discussion of its impacts on American society, as well as a consideration of possible alternatives.

Nope, 25 gb is just english language wikipedia compressed, no images. All the other languages are smaller.

How Did REST Come To Mean The Opposite of REST? | htmx in c/programming@programming.dev

Lol, I probably should have said "legacy". Would hope no one is writing new SOAP APIs in 2024!

How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

A few niche examples:

/r/generative /r/musicians /r/wildernessbackpacking /r/tropicalweather /r/analogcommunity /r/heavymind

Good luck convincing the non-technical users there to come here. This place is currently great for interests catered to programmers and sysadmins (speaking as one!), but artist and hobby communities are seriously lacking.

SOAP, which is basically dead, or GraphQL.

Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

I think to trying meet all of these without compromises (such as privacy and performance) is basically impossible. How would one boost engagement on positive emotions or personalize without large data mining efforts, model building, and running text classification on every comment or post?

I agree they are good aspirations.
