surprise. it's that 'holy cow i wasn't sure i'd be into this but it's amazing'. for all the reasons everyone else has cited - stage presence, audience, engagement both ways.
alas most artists can only surprise me this way once, but the die is cast for that artist from that first time.
we're just getting started so you've either been waiting your whole life for this instance, or you're glad it's on someone else's rack.
PopHeads is for, well pop music-heads. and i've no clue how to link it so it works for everyone. that's a regular web link, apparently !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech will work better for some.
the instance also just tipped up a meme community and plans to build out artist communities as well. the first is for taylor swift, so yeah, our mod buttons say 'hater' on them.
I really enjoy Python, but as I use it more I’ve found the quality of the docs to be an impediment. They’re hard to reference quickly.
this, and the need to understand the wordpress core, pushed me into php long ago; python used to be my primary language.
since about the beginning of the year, php docs now are often behind captchas. i don't know what in my environment triggers them, but i know they trigger me, and so i've been refactoring things back into python. mediocre and accessible docs >> somewhat better docs behind captchas. it's impossible to navigate the changes for change's sake between php 7 and 8 when you keep getting stopped to identify which fuzzy photo is of a dust cloud.
these are my home projects. for work, it's typescript/js/react against java/spring back end. i code mostly the front end now, but since i've also done java, i can make better tickets when there's a back-end problem :)
i just joined lemmy on a niche instance - but this introductory post got me off the ground pretty quickly
in my home network the host is often sleeping and syncthing isn't particularly piggy - i expect it to just do the right thing.
i imagine there are network setups where you'd have some networks you trust for syncing at distance and some you don't, but i could only speculate on that.
location access should only be needed if you're allowing sync only on a specific wi-fi network - to android, the ability to see wi-fi network identities is what requires location permission.
if you say sync only over wi-fi but you don't restrict to specific networks, you shouldn't need location to be on.
i allow sync over (any) wi-fi but i have global discovery disabled on all devices and i don't forward the port on my home router. if i am paired to some other wi-fi, they don't see each other so no data is passed.
yeah. no kidding. i have another post out there decrying the same thing. and the maddening behaviour is maddeningly different between the web ui and apps. there are edges like this in mastodon but they don't seem as obvious or constant
