Guys, your comments made my day :D

Hey, I didn’t expect this to attract that much attention 😅

It was just meant to be a small appreciation post, and it kind of took on a life of its own.

Hope I didn’t put you in an uncomfortable spot. My ADHD sometimes gets the better of my enthusiasm and I get a bit carried away.

As always, thanks a lot for the great work. I’m still happy to help however I can 👍

Jeez, can’t people just read the full post? 😅

Thanks for the

summary

🙂 Just to clarify, I’m not the developer. I’m just sharing the project I’ve been following for a couple of years. If you have suggestions like adding screenshots, the most useful way to help the project would be to open an issue or contribute.

Fair point about screenshots.

Just to clarify though: I’m not the developer, I’m just someone who has been following the project for a while and wanted to give it a bit of visibility here because I think it’s promising.

Since it’s still a young project, the README is understandably a bit rough around the edges. My post was mainly meant as a heads-up for people interested in self-hosted calendar tools, not as a finished product showcase.

That said, constructive suggestions like adding screenshots are definitely useful, opening an issue, like @inari@pifed.zip did, or contributing to the README would probably help the project more than my post ever could 🙂

I see myself in your profile. It took me ages to take the leap.

I first tried seeking help in r/selfhosted and got discouraged by the elitist community.

I just ate dozens of hours of YouTube content, bought a Raspberry Pi 4, and failed numerous times.

The fact is, I was stuck in the anomalous state of knowledge.

So just go ahead, hit and miss, but as an ADHD, document everything. EVERYTHING. Every step you take, every thing you learn.

The community here is a lot friendlier than Reddit’s, so don’t be afraid of asking, as long as it’s well formulated.

And one thing I didn’t have when I took my first steps is AI. It was made for this: getting out of the anomalous state of knowledge. It will help you define what’s missing so you can ask the proper questions.

Have fun learning!

So in the end, you provided a smidgen of idiocy, lapped up by you-know-who, and couldn’t actually substantiate any cause of worth. Good job matey.

I already explained my position clearly and calmly. I critiqued an image, not a person, not a reputation, not a career.

You escalated, deleted, returned days later, then deleted again. That pattern speaks for itself.

I’m glad my inbox allowed me to read your deleted message. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss it.

If critique unsettles you to this extent, the issue is not my words, but your projection. I have nothing to add, and nothing to retract.

I’m blocking you now. My time is too valuable to be spent on this exchange. Take care of yourself. It looks like you need it.

I totally agree. Criticism should lift people up, just like the way it’s delivered. But meeting rudeness with more rudeness just doesn’t strike me as productive. No matter how unfair the original jab was.

It’s a shame to dismiss the mastery of language as mere pedantry, when in fact it’s a tool for precision and respect for those who read us. In an age when automatic correctors make writing accessible to everyone (including those with challenges like severe dysorthographia) deliberately choosing approximation is to miss an opportunity: the chance to rise above, to communicate without ambiguity, and to show that we value our audience.

Language is not a cage. It’s a bridge. Why settle for the easy path when, with a little care, we can open doors?

Looks exactly like what I need. Thank you :D

Oh I missed that. Thanks

I stand by my technical observations, which were about the image, not the photographer. If you perceive critique as an attack, that’s your prerogative, but it’s not my problem. Have a nice day.

First, I don’t see what entitles you to use such a tone. Did I disrespect you? Given the time you took to delete your first response and stew over the next two, it seems I struck a nerve. Are you okay ?

Of course, I looked at the photographer’s Instagram feed. I saw his high-level commitment to wildlife photography. I analyzed the image he posted because I found it intriguing, because I enjoy the exercise, and because (by sharing it publicly) he invited critique. That’s my right.

My ability to spot inconsistencies comes from years of practice and a trained eye. What can I do about that?

That said, I never mentioned AI (and yes, my little profile rodent is rather cute, isn’t it?). I simply pointed out that the image appeared manipulated. Photoshop has been around since the ’90s, after all.

So, put your anger aside and let me appreciate and critique the work shared with the public in peace.

While the image is undeniably striking, a closer look reveals some inconsistencies: the lighting sources clash, and the patch of grass in the foreground feels out of place, almost as if it’s there to conceal something. It’s a well-crafted composition, but the seams show for those who know where to look. Still, kudos to the photographer for pulling off such a bold visual analogy.

🥰

It’s great to see all the progress made so far. However, I’m surprised that Pixelfed is still not supported.
