My 2012 MBP says otherwise. This thing is a rock and will not stop!

The fact that downvoting is seen as possible misbehavior is enough for me to be extremely against public votes.

It will also strengthen the hive mind, exponentially.

I’ll take one good option. That’s all I ask, someone to vote for, not as a vote against the other person.

I disagree. I hate carrying any coins, while dollars of any denomination fit nicely in my wallet.

I have a hunch that if we were to swap to these instead of paper dollars for $1, prices would go up simply because retailers would you d everything up to the nearest $5 increment.

Exactly my thoughts.

This reads like a paid “review”. Or an extreme naive reviewer that somehow thinks 3 hours is enough to judge a game as the best ever made.

Personally, I think it is worse here as there is almost zero opposing voice. On Reddit, there are people from most sides of most topics. Here, in most conversations, there is only one side represented.

Now, I tend to agree with the bias here, on some things, some times. But even when I agree, I want to see arguments from the opposition. Otherwise, I never learn.

I dont mean to be rude, but people that have been banned from Reddit coming here does not improve the community.

I’d say this is only half of the answer.

After browsing Lemmy for a while, you get the sense that the average user here is the type that gets upset about a social media company making changes to an API. That is a very specific type of person and you can see it in the comments.

I’d guess people get turned off by that type of person and leave.

I come here once Reddit and hacker news content is old. This isn’t a place I’d recommend to anyone, unfortunately. There are extremely strong biases all over and deep echo chambers. Users here seem like the perpetually online type. Most perspectives I’ve seen have been heavily influenced by online discourse rather than reality.

I visit this site less and less due to the user base.

Simple answer, unit tests.

The answer, as with everything in software development, is that it depends.

A god method with 100 optional params that is usually bad practice. But a common pattern is to allow for an options object to be passed, and that object may contain 0-n supported parameters. This pattern is used everywhere, see graphql as a widely used library that is based on this.

This seems exactly like the type of game I’d buy and play… if I had heard about it.

One click install that provides regional VPN, multi-index torrent searching, scheduling, auto downloading based on simple criteria, and then file and metadata management.

I do all this now with various apps, but a single package that does everything that I could install on a new machine and start downloading immediately.

This is my dream app.

Exact same thing happened to me. Group project needed a programmer, I was a gamer with a nice computer so I volunteered. 15 years later and I’m a software engineer at a huge company.

It is even more annoying on Lemmy clients that show every link in a comment at the bottom of the comment in easy to tap boxes. This is great for 1 or 2, but every mastodon post has everyone @ing everyone else.

I just downvote it all, block the users, and move on. That shit is annoying.

Lol. I hadn’t even thought of that random instance until this post.

I imagine most people are like me. They forgot this instance existed.

Oh no, I totally agree.

My comment is more on the trend of where general social media seems to be heading.

That said, as long as we can continue to ignore… great!

Are these audio only posts? That sounds like a terrible direction for the fediverse to go. We already have enough videos of people staring at their phone while talking.

Did everyone forget how to read?

Yes, I read the bit about transcription.

IMO you have to browse “all” as there simply isn’t much content without.

The men’s lib group here on Lemmy is just as pathetic. Read any of their posts and they do not sound like men, but instead like a beaten down, passive group of people that cannot stand up for themselves.
