what do you call a fly with no wings?
The victim of a psycopath in the making.
RSS subscribing directly to YT channels through a self-hosted RSS aggregator to sync views, open in on-device front-end. Very practical.
Fair enough.
But all of them are examples of apps needing to run in the background specifically to send notifications...
What apps need to run in the background for other reasons than to send notifications?
For interface unity I use Voyager in Chrome's web app functionality, it's nice to have the same interface. The last multi platform Lemmy app was Liftoff which was really nice but it's dead.
Lemmy in a tab in Firefox, no matter the front end is so... I want the sleek experience dang it!
Firefox, give web app functionality on desktop!
What sort of apps would need real-time running if not to send notifications? Like logging software?
At that point why not just disallow it from running in the background?
I know what you mean. I'm self-hosting and use https://relay.fedi.buzz/ to subscribe to hashtags from all over the fedimicroblogosphere. It's literally too much interesting content, I kept scrolling new stuff for hours and had to cut down on what tags I subscribed to. It's like that Lemmy explorer but for microblogging.
I think a reasonable admin should be open to using the service to populate the federated timeline with niché content users ask for.
The only downside is "catch all"-tags and people abusing tags. "Hey #fediverse, check out my XYZ!". No, I want fediverse news dang it!
But the dev stuff? Yeah.
Not a fan of the name. So it's a lua game? Ok.
I just signed up, took like 30 minutes to be approved (daytime in Euro region). Barely an inconvenience.
