Yes, it’s a tiller steering arm that you would lean in the direction you wanted to go. Cars at the time could only reach a top speed of about 20 mph so this kind of steering was good enough, and much simpler than the rotary mechanism used for a steering wheel.

I thought this was an onion article at first. Are we starting to struggle to separate a virtual game from reality? I mean I’ve been shot thousands of times in video games but not one time did I think I was just murdered, I should call the police.

There is a built in tool for Android Studio to make a website into an apk you could sideload.

Or you could always use a browser to make it a Home Screen shortcut, there is usually a button for this.

F-Droid does have a Wiktionary app that is open source, it’s not currently maintained but anyone could update it by forking the code.

True, just got to remember update from time to time. Got to add Rizz or whatever else the kids are saying these days… 🙂

Kagi is a search engine that has built in Lemmy/Kbin search.

If you’re talking about mainstream search engines then no, they haven’t started supporting Fediverse content yet.

I assume you’re phrasing this as a question to challenge what I said regarding main stream search engines.

It is possible to get a random hit on Lemmy, as instances are crawled like any other webpage. Just like you might get a Mastadon hit every once in a while. However they will not rank very high and almost always be buried a few pages in, while a Reddit post will rank much higher for the same search.

It’s the natured of how federation works and search engines don’t account for it. You can increase your chances by including a specific instance name or the word Lemmy.

Yes, Kagi has a bunch of “Lenses” not just for Lemmy & Kbin but for all kinds of sources.

As of right now I’m not sure how you could SEO boost Lemmy. The federation makes it seem like a single post exists on many different sites.

With nearly a thousand Lemmy instances it’s as though someone cross posted to hundreds of websites which there would be no way to prioritize with the way current mainstream search engines work.

They just need to program a method for indexing Lemmy, and the rest of the ActivityPub compatible services, as a single entity. I am sure they will catch up eventually.

That Hamburglar at it again!

What’s this “Cable TV” their talking about? Is it like the telegraph?
