- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 5 days ago:
Brb uploading a 5GiB file from /dev/urandom to make sure there isn’t a byte of space left in OneDrive for them to do this to me.
- Comment on You can’t leave your Steam backlog to someone else in your will 5 weeks ago:
Not unless the game has an offline mode and you download the depot files and bundle it with a nosteam launcher then leave that to your next of kin.
- Comment on Those were the days 2 months ago:
I still have some 3gp/3gpp videos recorded on my old slide. What a pain. And I think depending on whether your phone was gsm/CDMA would affect whether it recorded to .3gp or .3g2.
- Comment on TwitchAdSolutions – Blocking Twitch Ads 2 months ago:
Blocking ads on twitch is rough, but somehow I have never gotten ads when watching on Chromecast (Chromecast ultra without Google TV, no android launcher). Am I the only one? I’ve never seen anyone else mention this but it’s been almost a decade and I’ve lived in multiple states and casting to my Chromecast ultra somehow gets rid of all the ads and it’s never been fixed.

Thank goodness it’s in HDR
- Comment on car insurance 2 months ago:
Damn. I managed to get basic insurance for like $75/mo but it’s one where they require you to install a tracking app on your phone for the first month that gives you a higher rate if you accelerate or brake hard. I just drove like a grandma for a month and uninstalled it after.

I imagine they’re one of those people who just have piles of trash in their car sliding around the floor and probably dashboard too.
- Comment on New Discord TOS binds you to forced arbitration - Opt-Out Now 2 months ago:
Has anybody made a matrix app that looks like a discord clone? Than sounds easier since the federated rich text chat is already made, the current clients don’t really appeal to the discord crowd.

This was our cat until we started collecting all the toys and putting them in a box every evening and taking them back out in the morning. She gets bored without toys so she just finds a spot to sleep, as a result she now sleeps throughout the entire night.
- Comment on The Previous Update Broke Our Bot And I Don't Know Why 3 months ago:
I think that’s part of the solution, I skimmed some of the forks and found one that updated the lemmy-js-client to 0.19.2-alpha.3 but they made some code changes too to the authentication code. So maybe trying that fork is worth a shot: github.com/thepaperpilot/BotIt
Last changes were last month on that fork

Hmm maybe it’s not that simple then. It doesn’t look like the JWT is stored so it’s probably trying to get a new one when started. The other possible culprit would be if you need to use lemmy-js-library with a major version matching the Lemmy server version.
Assuming the server updated to 0.19.0, the version used by the bot is 0.18.0. You would just need to edit package.json so that the lemmy-js-client line reads:
“lemmy-js-client”: “^0.19.0”,
Then running npm install or yarn install (or whatever command you used to install dependencies previously)

Just a shot in the dark but I’ve seen some people say something about one of the updates logging out accounts as a security measure. Assuming the recent updates didn’t change auth stuff, maybe it’s possible that it just needs to refresh the token? A glance at the code looks like it will keep trying to use the same JWT as long as it’s still valid, and fall back to getting a new JWT using username/password. So deleting the JWT would make it get a new one. (Iirc JWTs have an embedded expiration, but the server can invalidate it so the bot code could in theory not know that the server can invalidate it)
Assuming you’re getting the incorrect login error from Lemmy. Idk maybe I’m way off base with my guess.
- Comment on Amazon "search through reviews" is blindly just running an AI model now 3 months ago:
For me (android, US) I had to change the search a couple times for it to start giving AI answers. I assume that’s to save queries by only using AI when someone isn’t happy with the search results.
- Comment on Amazon "search through reviews" is blindly just running an AI model now 3 months ago:
For me (in the app) it only starts generating AI answers if I change the question a couple times. Presumably that’s to save costs on the AI by just trying a dumb search first and resorting to AI if the user keeps searching.
- Comment on Amazon pricing makes no sense. 5 months ago:
I think they do this to game people who use the “rebuy” button without shopping around again. Several times I’ve bought a consumable and when I go back, the exact listing j bought from has doubled in price while many other listings are normal. That’s why I never use the “buy again” section, and if I can afford to wait I’ll find a lower or comparable price on eBay, and hope they aren’t just drop shipping me from a cheaper listing that I didn’t find on Amazon.
- Comment on Mbin is a fork of kbin: a decentralized content aggregator running on the Fediverse network 5 months ago:
I think that text is from melroy, so according to him. From seeing his interactions in the kbin issue tracker I get somewhat of an egotistical impression of him, because he would often take an issue that has just been opened and not triaged or discussed what the best fix is, and he would open a PR with how he thinks it should be fixed, and it sounds like his frustration is that his hasty PRs weren’t getting merged quickly because people wanted to come to a consensus.
Maybe I’m just reading into it but it felt like he just wanted his name on something and it wasn’t happening with kbin.
