  • All of PieFed is still in development :)

  • Piefed.social login says I was banned, but all signs point to my profile still being active.

  • PieFed has some pretty intense ban-evasion countermeasures. I won't go into details but yeah - good luck. It's intentionally confusing because anyone trying to get around it probably deserves to have their time wasted.

    Sorry if we have unintentionally caught you in this. Some false positives are likely.

    Probably easier for you to just use another instance.

  • smolfedi - A lightweight, no-JavaScript Fediverse client written in PHP by Adele at Codeberg

    Jump

  • You can try it at https://smolfedi.pollux.casa/

    I took it for a spin the other day. I was disappointed to find that despite it being very lightweight in terms of client requirements (great!) it is extremely slow. I surmise that every page load is making requests to the Mastodon API on your mastodon instance (like a client app would, except this one is running on a server...) rather than caching anything locally. This kinda nullifies the benefits of being a 'lightweight client' in the first place - the UX is getting nerfed for no gain in speed.

    Still I appreciate the no-JS ideal and the extreme compatibility and am looking forward to seeing where this project goes.

    Federation is pretty weird stuff at first, it'll take a few days for it to click.

  • In the city, with wind funneling between tall buildings, the wind can be extremely variable and gusty. I doubt the practicality of that a lot of the time. It certainly caught my attention though.

    Sorry for my dismissive response earlier.

  • Issues between piefed.social and friendica.world?

    Jump

  • Integration with friendica is totally untested, I'm surprised anything works at all.

  • UAE Warns US It Could Sell Oil in Chinese Yuan if War Drains Dollar Supplies, Triggering Biggest Threat to the Petrodollar Since the 1970s

    Jump

  • Isn't UAE unable to sell oil at the moment, due to the war? The currency they sell in makes no difference when there's no transactions taking place.

  • If someone said "Murder all Martians. Rimu is a martian." and then we spend hours debating whether it's ok to kill martians or not then that would be a waste of time. Because I am not a martian. Obviously there are situations where murdering Martians can be justified - the problem is someone calling for me to be killed based on made-up bullshit. Let's talk about that.
