I use it regularly and enjoy it, especially in the food, comedy, gaming, and programming communities. If you give it a go I highly recommend trying the “For You” feed. You pin it to your list of feeds, and it produces such shockingly relevant content. It definitely has a mixture of folks on it though, despite that people claim it’s one group on one platform and another group on Bsky.

I actually find the mixture of takes to not be all that different from Lemmy, just less pro-Chinese posts, and maybe even more anti-AI stances than I’ve seen around here.

If you want to hide from politics though, “For You” can definitely be a bit of a bubble. Being a left or right swipe away from escaping your bubble is a nice compromise imo.

Reddit is so bad that I’ve been working on my own alternative. Lemmy is great, don’t get me wrong but I have my gripes with all of them, so why not build something for me, ya know.

I’m using At Protocol as the basis for it, and trying some new things out that I haven’t seen before.

I wonder if they plan to incorporate a moonlight server (or any form of streaming), so you could test a game without having to download it, so long as the admin host has it installed.

I know other tools out there do that already, but it would be nice if it was all in one. I’m also surprised they compare themselves to Steam/Epic when DRM-free is GoGs whole thing

The shopping list doesn’t need to be additive, that’s just one way of interpreting what the wife wrote. There is no one correct way to read a joke as a program (my whole point), that is unless you write an interpreter for jokes :P

function getGallonOfMilk() {
  return 1;
}

function getDozen() {
  return 12;
}

const hasEggs = store.checkInventory(“eggs”);

const result = (
  getGallonOfMilk(),
  hasEggs && getDozen()
);

console.log(result * "🥛"); // 🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛

I’ve been working on an alternative Frontend for Forgejo called Joui.

It’s coming together nicely. Currently support v15 and up. I hope they added a action logs api in v16, as that’s one of the most common complaints I get from Joui users.

I hear you, but these are solve-able human problems, not code problems:

Manager: Jose revert your commit, thanks. Jose: okay, it’s been reverted, I won’t do that again, thanks for explaining to me why exactly what I did was the wrong thing to do.

I’ve had this exact conversation about this topic at least a half dozen times over the last decade.

When it comes to legacy code, almost all auto formatting tools I’ve used allow you to ignore whole directories and files, which can be very handy for legacy areas of the codebase not yet ready for this transition.

As for scenarios where large rewrites are necessary, it’s best to separate from any actual work, so the blast radius is focused, and that commit can be marked properly using .git-blame-ignore-revs which completes fixes the history issues that are common amongst those who don’t know what they are doing.

Definitely a painful process it can be, but it’s better to fight this battle than it is to try and get 1,000 humans to agree on something as vague as “style”

Often this is the correct pragmatic power user solution in UX design. Trying to solve it by default for everyone is much harder and will ultimately alienate some user.

But when people get bothered by an experience it is much easier for them to find the hidden setting that makes them happy again. It also preserves the existing experience, while allowing for greater customization in the long term.

Once a decent compromise is identified, that’s when it’s time to flip which setting gets to be the default.

We in this forum are a specific type, few use lemmy, and few invest in Arm directly.

SpaceX and Arm aren’t comparable, f.e. I know a college student investing in Space X, as well as an Elderly man, a cousin of mine who works in marketing, etc. It’s normal joes who want in. That never happened to Arm, and I’d be surprised if it ever does. It won’t be mainstream. I don’t know anyone personally who invests in Arm other than myself.

I’m talking about norms and sensationalism, not the state of a technology.
