One thing I’ve found is you have to be careful of the context getting polluted with wrong output. If you have one thing wrong, the probability of it using that wrong info is much higher than baseline wrongness.

In practice that means if it starts spitting out bad code, try a new conversation to refresh things. I find that faster than debugging because it all often return to a buggy state later.

I would absolutely think I just got cursed off I had opened the door to see that happen live

It was always clear Reddit would not change course.

The real question is whether the fediverse found enough room to germinate and if Reddit’s days are numbered.

I’m all in on the fediverse.

That quote grind my gears.

Reddit was profitable, then they took more funding and massively hired.

Profitability is a choice by the executives.

I’d say what went wrong was nobody did anything meaningfuk or cared. Nobody put their money where their mouth is and deleted their accounts, and staying off the site for 2 days was too much to ask of >80% of the users.

The Mods closed a few subs but didn’t themselves do anything meaningful. They should have let reddit replace them if they actually cared. They should have moved their community to lemmy or kbin. The ones who did sick it out I’m grateful for, the rest cared too much about their own pride to bother trying to keep the admins in check.

Overall the reddit userbase since the pandemic are mostly entitled whiners who don’t really give a shit as long as they get their twitter and TikTok reposts. There’s literally only one piece of OC on the frontpage of reddit right now. There’s not much value to going there anymore.

I’m done with Reddit, and honestly I haven’t missed it. My time is now more full of hobbies and actual reading, I’m better off for deleting it.

Even if it were all legally fine, something is wrong if that many people are coming forward.

Yeah this whole thing isn’t simple. Even if he’s cleared of charges, these allegations are old and that makes them hard to prove or disprove.

Further, the quantity is concerning. Maybe he’s just prolifically sexual but my gut can’t really get passed how many accusations there are over such a long span of time. Even if innocent, still creepy is my opinion.

Actual answer, there clearly isn’t one ideal body type and that’s good for the species. I like the show Physical 100 because it does a good job showing that.

Personal answer: imagine the peak performance of humanity if balls weren’t on the outside!

I thought this game would be a micro transaction bag of shit based on only what I saw on Reddit before leaving.

It’s actually quite fun, my wife and I play and are just enjoying the heck out of squashing ghouls and completing dungeons. Haven’t felt pressured to throw cash into the game at all.

The game does crash a lot though, but usually that just means it’s time for bed and we haven’t lost progress from it yet.

I kinda like that PullPush needs to find and pay Ivan before arbitration commences. I kinda think Ivan is a random name intended to be unfindable so arbitration never starts.

I’m just glad they’re streaming on YouTube so I can see the shot show without visiting Reddit and pumping their numbers

My gut says this is an effort to make employees feel good after layoffs and protests, but also this looks to be someone to juice the monthly active users metric before an IPO roadshow or fundraising or something.

Ironically /r/place would be a good opportunity to win users to the official app, they probably should have done that before the API price changes to shake the tree of third party apps, so to speak.

Anyways, this is going to be 80% “fuck /u/spez” memes, a German flag, the Apollo logo, and a perfect OSU game logo.

I almost decided to make an account just to participate in the new /r/place, but then I would be supporting Reddit.

Instagram in app browser user agents include your devices resolution and colour info, so I think you’re right on those features.

And for a video app checking if headphones are plugged in is actually useful (Apollo used to deal with this well).

Needing your health days in the permissions though???

Elon has transitioned all the coders from MX Blue to MX Red just for this change.

Docker is basically a virtual machine image you write your software in. Then when you run the software you don’t need to worry about compatibility or having the right dependencies installed, it’s all included in the docker image.

Think of Docker as being Nintendo cartridges that you can take to any friends house, plug them in, and play. Servers can run more than one Docker container.

The approach greatly simplifies writing code and having it work on your server, reduces errors, and adds a layer of security.

It drives me nuts that I need to drag down twice to adjust screen brightness. It just feels icky to do that second drag, even hiding the brightness slider behind a button would be better.

I don’t like material or material you. They feel confused and they mix layers on top of your content which gets in the way to me. I don’t like the loud colour sections on headers against the stark white content backgrounds, it’s all too much.

Despite fear of sounding snooty, material is bauhaus design without the authentic materials, and the design elements are so focused on purism of being “material” that they forget they could be straightforward.

What’s the name for the artist who made that picture?

Not to say Reddit is good, but Blind is the most toxic community I’ve ever seen and it has a very strong filter for bitter employees.

I’d take the discussion there with a grain of salt, though I expect morale at Reddit is pretty terrible right now.

DDoS usually cost money to run, Lemmy/Kbin are small potatos with no cash to ransom, so there’s not really a point except to troll, in which case users can just spin up more servers and push back on the attacker’s cost/impact.

I do get the sense it would be relatively easy to DoS Lemmy, it doesn’t seem very efficient.

I work in tech, this wouldn’t surprise me.

Where there are eyeballs there is spam. People even put spam in the Google Analytics referral field and that’s only ever going to get seen by the site owner.

It really says nothing about the health of the ecosystem, if it’s moderated and not filling the frontpage it’s only an issue for the server admins.

I’ve fought spammers and one alone could create these numbers in a day.
