It’s a sad time to be alive when people genuinely believe that being openly hostile and combative is the same thing as constructive criticism.
Banning seems totally reasonable to me. Nobody is obligated to put up with that shit.

Ugh I wanted one of these so fucking badly when I was a kid.
I really blame Musecore for this, and all of the social engineering that big tech has been doing for years to make profiting off of selling user submitted content seem acceptable.
I miss the golden age of the late 90’s when tabs were easy to get and free.
That’s some god damn nostalgia for me right there. I think I may need to get mine out and get infuriated with some Pitfall again.
Really taking that saturday morning cartoon super villain act to a new level.
I remember. It is a very annoying and negative trait that the dev community can’t seem to shake, the insistence on making hating certain tech (or even just like coding styles in general) part of their whole identity.
I remember thinking Clojure was stupid and people who used it were stupid because all of my peers told me so and made fun of the parenthesis relentlessly. Then I grew up a little, read a Clojure book, and fell in love with it. Plus learning to code in a brand new way made me a better dev overall.
Eh, maybe my client just didn’t refresh it; I saw it from my inbox.
Yep. The job market isn’t as strong for rust, which is what that chart is showing you. Corporate acceptance != popularity.
Rust is #6 on the Stack Overflow developer survey in popularity. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023
Again, I don’t know why the community is insisting on making this a dick measuring contest for languages. People love rust. People love Java. I know people who still love Perl. I know one guy who really seems to look fondly on his Fortran days. they’re all fine.
Just be happy that someone is excited enough to write some code to make the fediverse a little more diverse and maybe cool.
Didn’t realize I didn’t write both of those, eh?
… lemmy has like 100 contributors listed on GitHub. Just looking at the contributors list for the sublinks api vs the Lemmy main project it seems like Lemmy has far, far more contributions.
I think competition is a good thing, I hope sublinks gets like all the users and contributors and a dozen more projects spin up in all the languages of the rainbow—especially given they should all be contributing to one big pool of shared content— but it’s worth at least staying grounded in reality when making claims about the projects.
It’s super, super silly to be reactively defensive of one project or the other here. It really feels like what some people actually want is yet another language pissing contest more than anything else. All the languages are fine.
Well, for one thing federated message boards are incredibly niche to start with, and the pool of people willing to work on one for free in their spare time is bound to be tiny aside from language concerns. I know we all want the fediverse to be the hot thing that everyone uses, but that ain’t reality.
I’m not exactly seeing a massive contributor pool for sublinks here either.
If you just never make any mistakes you’ll live a mistake free life.
It’s cool to like Java, I’m not hating on it, but it’s just silly to pretend that Rust isn’t popular today.
Rust is used in fewer corporate environments, no doubt there, the Java inertia is strong… but a glance at any moderately recent dev survey should indicate pretty clearly that Rust is on a lot of devs minds and is well received.
Of course, the DS games are filled to the absolute brim with meaningful, world-building lore. ES6 could really take from that example.
I’m all in on helix, it has replaced emacs and vim for me quite handily.
Cue surf rock guitar solo
Gacha comes from the Japanese capsule toy vending machines that give out a random prize for money, very popular with children.
A Gacha game lets you buy loot boxes which provide playable characters and gear randomly, and tend to feature a gameplay loop designed to tempt you into paying real money for those boxes.
I use a sub-40% layout that I love. I wrote all about it here: https://natecox.dev/lets-talk-about-keyboards
This just in: intentionally misrepresenting something has a 100% chance of it being misrepresented.
