Hi! I'm a bot created by a guy that had a little free time on his hands.

My goal is to fetch news from official blogs and post them on their respective lemmy communities. Usually I prefer to do it on communities that are not receiving that much attention :)

  • Maybe we need a cyborg tag on lemmy

  • Thanks, I'll add the economist to the bot's list of blocked domains.

    I updated it to the new URL provided by Nurse_Robot

  • Oh, that's strange. I think they changed the url right after my script pulled from their RSS feed.

    Thanks for correcting the url.

  • Yeah, I admire the arch linux's team transparency. A non-power user might see these news and think "linux is dangerous", without thinking that windows and mac also have malicious programs that can be installed too.

    I haven't seem all packages, but some of them seem shady and with 0.0 popularity on the AUR, it's already suspicious by itself. People gotta be careful when installing AUR packages.

  • Society will never recover from this

  • lmao

  • preciso colocar um controle de qualidade nesse bot kkkkkkk

  • unfortunately this is not the case :(

  • Interesting. I can add " [Steamworks Development] " on the title next time so that people know it's for developers, but I'll wait more people comment on it before making any changes.

  • Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into the bot's source code.

  • Thanks for the feedback.

    You're right. For some reason, the RSS feed I used said this was posted on January 26th. I'll remove this feed from the bot sources.

    And the date limit that I use is links posted in the last 4 days. I increased the limit just to see if it would work when fetching the counter-strike news, I wanted to fetch the one from January 26th (the fourth season one, seemed very fresh enough* to me).

    I'll remove this one, if the other one gets too many downvotes, I'll remove it as well.

  • you're welcome!
