should know this already. :)

What in the gosh darn condescending non sequitur is that? I have a special kind of dislike for people who, instead of trying to promote learning for anyone and everyone at any stage, instead choose to ridicule people for having missed some trivial detail that has about as much in common with Bash as does COBOL (basically nothing). Web scripting is, unsurprisingly, its own skill, and it’s very, surpassingly, extremely, stupendously, and obviously conceivable that someone could have years of Bash experience but only recently started putting around with scripting for things like API access or HTML parsing. But you should know this already. :)

That’s not universally true, at least if you’re not on the same LAN. For example, most small-scale apps hosted on VPSs are typically configured with a public-facing SSH login.

You can always brute force the SSH login and take a look around yourself. If you leave an apology.txt file in /home, I’m sure the admin won’t mind.

Sounds like a crap idea.

If the Earth was a torus, Homer Simpson would’ve eaten it already.

Is it some sort of Lemmy inside joke?

If you think about it, Lemmy literally is all third-party apps.

Further, copyright and the rest of the intellectual property lot only serve the current corporatist arrangement, helping keep large companies hard to compete with. It’s funny how people praise things like patents for “protecting” people, but it’s literally a government-granted monopoly on useful shit that would be cheap and accessible if people couldn’t pay for the rights to legally screw other people over.

I feel like this post is going to implode.

I wish more people would understand the value of letting people make their own life choices, even if you disagree with them.

My best guess, if you can even see this comment, is that Lemmy.ml is still under strain. It seems like it’s causing all sorts of issues, issues that aren’t really a problem on just about any other instance.
