Not American but the US had an extremely high tax rate on the rich for most of its prosperous years. It was only recent removed and you now have massive wealth inequality

I’m actually surprised they can’t get more WhatsApp data considering it’s Facebook. I know WhatsApp’s thing is encryption but… It’s Facebook

You can start with smaller pieces of the app! Like one thing you can do is to try learning a bit of Python and play around by making simple requests to a Lemmy API to print off a list of posts from the front page.

For learning I’d recommend checking out Codecademy. I got my start with programming there like 10 years ago and I feel like I owe a lot to the website. They have fully interactive tutorials and give you a great starting point.

Good luck! :)

Do you have programming experience? I can’t tell from your post if you’re looking for API resources or general programming resources. If it’s your first time programming, making an app like that might be a bit of an overwhelming first project unfortunately

This is what I switched to (and what I’m replying through), and I really like it. Definitely still needs more pollish but it’s a lot more fleshed out

I love it it because i don’t feel like my comments on posts just get lost in a landslide of other comments. It’s a smaller community but we have access to so much content through the fediverse. It’s perfect

I’m loving this non stop coverage of the blackout. It can’t be a good luck for investors interested in reddit

I can’t wait for the EU to finally just ban the site and app already.

It’s funny that the two biggest sites that the fediverse competes with decided to nuke themselves one after the other.

It’s not exactly the same but my city has “robot pizza machines” that are basically glorified vending machines with pizza that’s cooked daily and reheated on demand. It works really well for the company because they specifically put the machines in neighbourhoods where people go to drink.

I think as far as automated pizza goes, that’s the best way to do it.

It makes me very happy to hear Linus say this
