I configured uBlock Origin to block shorts so I don't accidentally watch that garbage. I consider it psychological self-defense.

Hello there, you piece of shit.

You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of master, you piece of shit.

The one thing that takes a bit to get used to is the borrow checker. Advice there is don't fight it. Trust the compiler to tell you your code is wrong. Once you understand the ownership/borrowing rules, it's honestly just a joy to code in. Static typing protects you from the inevitable mess that every large python project becomes, and the borrow checker gives you the comfort and safety you've come to expect from memory safe languages without the overhead of a garbage collector.

I don't find "Oh my sweet summer child :)" all that friendly, I find it condescending and weird. Recommending the Rust book I have no issue with.

Oh my sweet summer child :)

Can we stop with this condescending nonsense?

 

I've been working on a proxy that makes it possible for 3rd party Reddit apps to connect to Lemmy with minimal code changes. Ideally all that's needed is to swap out the url for that of the proxy. Naturally it's open source.

I've got it to a point where basic browsing is possible and works with RedReader and libreddit, but I could use some help testing it with more apps and of course implementing more of the API.

To test with an app, you need to modify it to connect to the proxy instead of Reddit, which I've done here for libreddit, just for testing. The RedReader dev has already expressed some interest in making the API url configurable for the end user.
