Thanks for the details - I’m sure it’s intentional that Daylio makes it quite the circus to go through. I’m excited about Journiv in general, so I might switch over once mood tracking is all set. However, it’d still be great to be able to import Daylio as I have around 2,000 entries :)

Is your app as efficient as what an experienced developer would create? If you released the source code, would it have security vulnerabilities? These are just a couple of the more hidden issues that fly under the radar when shipping LLM-generated code.

There’s no such thing as “agents”, there must always be a human in the loop, they don’t just create code from nothing. Both in the sense of a human needing to prompt the LLM, and in the fact that they’re trained on human created code. “Agents” is just a buzzword made by tech CEOs and MBAs to make the general population think they’re doing more than they really are. They have no skills, they’re a statistical prediction model. And prediction models tend to fuck up a lot of things, especially as the data window grows.

You can use them to help code, yes, but don’t do what the billionaire class wants and make them seem like more than they really are.

Why crosspost from ML at all if there’s a sufficient alternative?

Guessing you missed the fact that there were other links in there, and I only linked to ML because you got the crosspost from there originally. Nice use of transphobia as a tool against a trans person, though!

It’s like that’s almost exactly what I mentioned you said, and exactly why I’m commenting proper links to older posts! It fixes the proxying issue you mention to include it in the post, so I’m happy I can be of assistance. I’m still not sure why it’s so upsetting to you when users link back to other posts in the comments, especially when you weren’t the first one to post it. It helps drive conversation when people know it’s happening elsewhere.

It shouldn’t matter that I’m linking to other posts, though, especially for those using screen readers that otherwise have no idea!

You were exploitly told the apps where users weren’t seeing it before and chalked it up to an “image linking issue”, so I’m just helping other users avoid that in the future!

Just posting so that people with apps which don’t properly display crossposting know that there are more comments and posts regarding this topic!

Also, what link to ML?

I’m not the one that needs the higher ground here, so it’s pointless to say I’m trying to take the higher ground. I’m not the one freebooting content, OC or not. I always properly link posts, not only to give credit for creating or finding the content, but also so that people know there is more discussion elsewhere, including those with screen readers. I also only post from one account, so that people can block my posts if they please. You rapidly switch between accounts, further masking your freebooting behaviors. I mention this not to take the high ground, but to show you that it’s possible and easy to simply provide links in your reposts. I don’t even really care that you repost, I care more about how you’re reposting, which is probably the worst, most user-unfriendly way of doing it that I’ve seen since reddit.

I didn’t dodge it. There are comments in my link that you continue to ignore. I’m not going to do the reading for you, especially since I already went back and provided you the link which you clearly visited. Because of your laziness or ignorance of the fact that Lemmy’s cross post functionality is buggy at best, it looks like you’re the only one posting to those users. You know what would fix the weird image linking issue? Properly attributing your cross post. It’s not hard, it’s not difficult, and it’s not time consuming. It’s only difficult if you’re reposting hundreds of posts like a spam network, which is exactly what you seem like to users that don’t know any better.

1. You attribute it, but you don’t link to the original post. This is the entire problem. I know, because you’ve done it to me. I had no idea until I literally looked up my username one day, and saw a post from you “attributing” it to me. I had no clue that this was posted, and missed out on providing explanations. Further, people thanked you for the post, not the original author. You didn’t reply to them to say you’re welcome, but you also didn’t reply to them saying that it was another user’s OC. I honestly don’t give a fuck about you attributing me for my personal case, but it’s mind boggling that you do not see how it could rub someone the wrong way. I only spoke up about it once you did it for the hundredth time on your 14th account, because it’s fucking annoying to see.
2. Yes, but you don’t connect conversations about these articles together properly for those with apps that do not properly load your cross post. Further, these freebooted cross posts vastly outnumber the articles you find on your own. It would be one thing if you did what most people posting do, and use an RSS feed to post articles, and just happened to post the same article as someone else. But no, roughly 5 minutes after someone posts the article, you post it, because it came up in your feed. This is exactly the issue. I would block you, but you’ll just pop up somewhere else and then claim that you “only” use 5 accounts in a failing effort to boost smaller instances. So, I’d rather comment with the screenshots of your million accounts every time you post the bullshit copypasta about why you “crosspost” ml content (you should probably change that copypasta to say “why I freeboot ML content”, which would be accurate to what you actually do. The ironic thing there is that every time you mention ML in any fashion, it defeats the purpose of not linking there in the first place. Oh, also, feel free to block me. But good luck, since you’ve got a few dozen accounts. I’ll still comment the same since I’m not going to even bother blocking you.
3. Some people link back to where they found it, and that’s good. You don’t even bother posting where you found it when it’s on the fediverse, and that’s bad. There’s a difference, no matter how you try to pretend there isn’t. You’re hurting the few users on the fediverse when you do that.
4. I don’t need to prove anything, you just never mention it with the hopes that no one will notice and that works for you 95% of the time. Nothing to prove when no one notices. But when people do notice, like in this thread, I’ll happily show them just how many accounts you’ve created, as stated previously. Also, you seriously want me to go through your dozens of accounts with thousands of posts to “prove” this to you? Probably by design, you make that very difficult to do.

Why are you just copy and pasting the same comment now? You don’t need to actually spam me. I’m only going to reply to one of these comments.

When this was last brought up to you, two people said it wasn’t working for their apps: https://lemmy.cafe/comment/15393162

You ignored them, conveniently. I can also attest that it doesn’t show for Boost a lot of the time, especially when you repost memes that are just images. And before you say it, no, it’s not because I’m defederated with those instances - Lemmy.today isn’t defederated with a single instance. And even if that weren’t the case, you should still link back to the original post to give proper credit, to at least let users know it wasn’t your content.

You’re not adding friction. You’re basically a freebooter. You don’t care about giving people credit, you appear to want the credit. I don’t understand why this is such a difficult concept for you to understand when multiple people have told you that the cross post button doesn’t appear for them. Probably because you’d rather claim the content as your own with no acknowledgment that it was sourced from someone else. You seem to only be doing it because it adds friction for you: you can’t stand to give a post five seconds of your time because you have to freeboot content as fast as possible, for god knows why. You’d rather look like a spam network than ever give people links to the original post.

And yes, it does do nesting of posts. Because it is working as intended. It clearly shows that you weren’t the original author. But no, you’d rather mask that as much as you can get away with. You know what I do when I cross post something multiple times? I un-nest it once if it’s nested twice. It’s literally that easy. Oh no… you have to delete a few “>”!! That’s so hard for you, I’m so sorry.

I don’t care if you hate ML. I hate ML as an instance too. However, I’m not about to steal content from ML users just because I hate the ML admins. You are defeating the purpose of federation and feed curation, and basically acting like a reddit poweruser. You want to put your motivations and ideals onto others, without them even knowing that you’re doing it. Not only are you freebooting, you’re masking your behavior and usually not acknowledging that the post isn’t yours in the comments.

How is Qubes these days? I tried using it years ago and had a bit of a difficult time. Maybe it’s time to try again, as I’m sure it has improved, along with my Unix knowledge.

I’m unfortunately going to repeat myself twice in this post (since you did), these do not work in all frontends so it looks like you’re just stealing content. Posting the link directly in the post will always work, 100%. A link to the original author is not the same as a link to the original post, and cross post functionality in Lemmy is buggy at best.

If your problem is linking to ML, then you are defeating the point by your own logic, since according to you, all Lemmy frontends automatically add the cross post link to ML to your posts. You just shouldn’t rip posts from ML if you have a problem with merely linking to the OP and giving the original author proper credit.

It makes it worse if you’re actually using Boost to do these reposts, because that means that you’re actively stripping the automatic cross post link out.

As has been explained to you before by me and many, many others: this functionality does not always work as expected, and a bunch of apps are missing it entirely. That is the reality.

Do you know what would always work?

A link to the OP directly in the post. Just like you did for the author, but for the actual post. If you’re using Boost, why are you removing the cross post text that is automatically included for this very reason? It really makes it seem like you just want to take others posts and claim them as your own.

This would also work for the meme reposts you do, by the way.

Wanna see shady?

It’s pretty depressing that you downvote those who do what you fail to do: link to the original post instead of basically stealing their content. It is very confusing to me why this is so difficult to understand and fix, it’s literally built in to most apps, such as boost.

Yet, you downvote the people who rightfully link to the OP. And no, linking the author (like you’ve done with one of my posts in the past) does not count. I didn’t know that you stole reposted one of my posts until months later, for example.

They never properly cross post content. Sometimes they’ll add the author of the post, but it would be much better to properly link to the original post. I’ve tried and failed to explain this to them in the past. This, along with their dozens of accounts, makes them seem like a spam network that steals content from other users. It’s giving reddit karma farming, except here karma isn’t supposed to matter. Note that I don’t think they are a spam network, but this user behaves like one and refuses to ever make changes to the way they post.

They claim to be “supporting smaller instances” simply by posting with accounts from said instances, even though most people don’t care to look at instances of users. In reality, they’re giving these instances a bad reputation since they look like they’re supporting a spammer.

Every time this is brought up, they post the same BS spoiler that doesn’t ever acknowledge the root of their distasteful behavior, and downvote those who call them out. It’s super fucking annoying.

Kate lets me open as many windows as I want. I’ve never had that issue before, when did you last try it?

I use Kate pretty much the same way I used Notepad++, except I think I like Kate better since it clicks with my brain. It also probably(?) has more features.
