Humanity is on the verge of ‘shattering Earth’s natural limits’, say experts in biodiversity warning
Humanity is “on the precipice” of shattering Earth’s limits, and will suffer huge costs if we fail to act on biodiversity loss, experts warn. This week, world leaders meet in Cali, Colombia, for the Cop16 UN biodiversity conference to discuss action on the global crisis. As they prepare for negotiations, scientists and experts around the world have warned that the stakes are high, and there is “no time to waste”.
“We are already locked in for significant damage, and we’re heading in a direction that will see more,” says Tom Oliver, professor of applied ecology at the University of Reading. “I really worry that negative changes could be very rapid.”

Discontinuing syncthing-android
Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.
Sad to see it go. There is a fork but seems not so great considering they are looking for active maintainer. Still better than nothing. Need to check it out as it has some enhancements.
Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app
Discontinuing syncthing-android
Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.Syncthing Community Forum

I've been using the fdroid syncthing-fork version for a long time now and haven't had any issues at all... Doesn't mean it'll last forever but it's been getting the job done for me even in its current state.
... And can't remember my original reason to use the fork instead lol

Android shows which apps consume the most energy since the last charge.
It's great, I've used it a lot.
Specially with relatives. It also lists 'Display', and shows how much your screen use was draining that new phone. I had to explain this to a friend recently, with their new phone. They thought it might be defective. It wasn't.

* Just install it in parallel with the mainline app,
* export your existing configuration to the default storage location,
* import it in syncthing-fork (it'll detect the export file automatically),
* and you're done. Uninstall the official app so they don't compete for the daemon and port.
But I guess android 15 is not very widespread jet.
He seems to have updated the app to target Android 15 without testing in it in the emulator.
Welp my phone updated to 15 today...guess I can join the bugged syncthing-fork club.
Looks like it is fixed in the latest release, just have to wait until it gets pushes to fdroid.

I installed from fdroid, I expect it to be still available as far as it will work...
And I guess somebody will build and keep publishing it just not on google play, which is anyway a cesspool nowadays, so no big deal.
Aww, too bad

I switched to the fork as soon as I read this news. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes:

Syncing with my phone ~~was~~ismy main use for syncthing. ~~:(~~:)
We shall persevere! It doesn't seem like it's really needed any updates anyway...
Only updates it should need are for weird changes Google decides to make to Android.
Hell, at this point if someone forked the fork, and charged a small fee for the Relay Server hosting, I'd happily pay.
The fork is much better anyway.
It moves the sync options into each sync folder/job. Lots more flexible. Now my photos sync on any network and any charge state, while less important things (downloads, etc) only sync when on WiFi and charging.
Anyone have any good readings or discussions on what Google Play policies are being cited here as the major obstacle? Just curious to learn more.
Edit: 20 testers policy? Sounds onerous.

Wait, so theoretically, you could create a blog, and create a Lemmy instance/community, post a blog entry, have it auto post the blog entry to your instance, and now the Lemmy comments for the Lemmy post are the comments on the blog post? Do I have that right?
And in theory THIS comment should show up on your blog, yes?
Edit: Hey, I see it!
Could you make a community, and a bot? The bot would look for any post on your blog, then the bot creates a post in that community that uses the blog post title as the lemmy title, and uses the blog body as the post body.
Then the bot tells your blog the url of the lemmy post to use the lemmy comments.
Then, I see the button that says "load lemmy comments". Maybe your bot also creates a mastodon using the title of the blog post as a link to the blog post. Then any mastodon replies to that mastodon post could be under a different button that just says "Load Mastodon replies".
So at the end of your blog you have "Load Lemmy comments" (just as we see here) but next to it is "Load Mastodon replies".
And all of this, is done by you just posting once to the blog, while the bots do everything else in an instant.
You just post once on the blog, and automatically a Lemmy post is created which is a duplicate of the blog post, the lemmy comments are loaded via a button on the blog automatically, a Mastodon post is created which is just a link to the blog using that posts title as the clickable link, AND a button on the blog is created to see Mastodon replies to the mastodon post.
Everything besides the innitial blog post is automatic.
Is that possible?
Doesn't Lemmy support cross posting?
I considered implementing Lemmy comments and theorised I'd post to my own community/instance so I had full moderation control, then cross post that to all the relevant communities.

fetchcall and then turning the response into nice html
Neat. It took me a while to realise what was going on: the post on Lemmy and the blogpost are two separate entities. The Lemmy post is a link to the blogpost, and the blogpost uses the post_id to fetch the comments (so I guess this means you have to make the blogpost, make the Lemmy post, and then go back and edit the blogpost with the correct id?)
The script is inspectable on the blog - I can see it does:const url = 'https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/comment/listpost_id=21617067&limit=100&max_depth=8&sort=Top&type_=All';
So I suppose there's an inbuilt limit for comment depth and number of replies, but if you start down the road of working on that, you'll eventually find that you've re-invented a front-end, and there's no end to it.
What the duckquill guys are doing is a bit fudgy, in that they're getting another website to do the federation legwork for them, but the results are pleasing enough.
Lol, don't blame the duckquill dev, he only wrote the mastodon one, which I don't use. This is all me.

Yeah, I kinda chose the limits arbitrarily, but I don't expect them to be an issue anytime soon.
This setup is also more flexible. I can in the future add comments from multiple lemmy posts, as well as other completely different sites.
Ha sure, although since it is not well traveled there aren't any Lemmy comments yet. But you're very welcome to visit..

WordPress does have an ActivityPub plugin, and it works with Lemmy. dbzer0.com/blog/this-blog-is-n…
A good example is dbzer0.com which is federated to !dbzer0.com@dbzer0.com
Shame there's no tutorial to federate it to lemmy
@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Anything more straightforward? I see some links but there's stuff about audience fields that I don't understand
Alright! Found the issue! I was trying to access the community as domain.tld@domain.tld, when it's actually what I set to be the blog's profile itself.
Ie, I set the blog's profile to all@domain.tld, the relevant community is all@domain.tld
Yeah I could add that.
as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.
Well I'd have to load something to show this, unless I set it manually, which would be cumbersome.
This reply is for informing you that both your and my comments are visible on the blog.
Also, i'm posting from lemm.ee and the user is from .ml. So cross-instance comments are also working.
Good job @morrowind@lemmy.ml
"Duckquill has built in support for loading Mastodon comments see (the example on the theme site), given the link where you posted it. But I don’t much care for Mastodon ...
I prefer Lemmy, where you don’t really care about followers, as long as your content is good and posted to right community(ies). So I made my own."

My point is that you *are* publishing your stuff on Mastodon. Along with every other piece of software that supports ActivityPub, like Lemmy does.

I haven't been in development for nearly 20 years now, but I assumed it worked like that:
You generate unit tests for a very specific function of rather limited magnitude, then you let AI generate the function. How could this work otherwise?
Bonus points if you let the AI divide your overall problem into smaller problems of manageable magnitudes. That wouldn't involve code generation as such...
Am I wrong with this approach?
The complexity here lies in having to craft a comprehensive enough spec. Correctness is one aspect, but another is performance. If the AI craps out code that passes your tests, but does it in really inefficient way then it's still a problem.
Also worth noting that you don't actually need AI to do such things. For example, Barliman is a tool that can do program synthesis. Given a set of tests to pass, it attempts to complete the program for you. Synthesis is performed using logic programming. Not only is it capable of generating code, but it can also reuse code it's already come up with as basis for solving bigger problems.

It seems interesting, but at the same time the demos all seem to feature presses/simple gestures like stroking an object. The article's title however, at least in my opinion, implies something along the lines as we see in capacitive displays, mainly a touchpad.
Interesting tech nonetheless! Especially the plant example seems interesting, as it implies that interactions can also occur on less conventional surfaces.
This is why I love linux
I had a Chinese Android box gathering dust in a drawer. It had been sidelined because it was stuck on an outdated version of Android, with no updates in sight from the manufacturer. I started considering alternatives like a Raspberry Pi or a budget x86 mini PC to set up a PVR with TVheadend. But before placing an order, I wondered if I could repurpose the Android box as a Linux server. After all, it had decent specs: an Amlogic S905X2 chip, 4 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal storage.
A quick search revealed that it was possible to boot Linux on the box using a microSD card or USB stick. Within an hour, I had CoreELEC up and running. One of the great things about CoreELEC is the ease with which you can install Docker and TVheadend. This meant that my forgotten Android box was now transformed into a functional Linux server.
I hooked up a TV tuner (yes, I'm aware it's not exactly cutting-edge, but I need OTA TV for work) and installed TVheadend. It essentially turned the box into a budget-friendly HDHomeRun. I even set up AdGuard Home and configured my router to use it as a network-wide ad blocker.
Once you have Docker running, the possibilities are endless. To my surprise, I even discovered that you can boot Armbian on these inexpensive boxes and use them as a lightweight desktop. Or turn them into a router or pihole box using openwrt.
