Probably off-by-one errors

implying that any developer actually reads warnings

I reverberate.

I want to like Forgejo but the name is really terrible.

Is it “forj-joe”? Nah, that double-J sound is way too awkward.
Do you then merge the J sounds to make “forjo”? If so, why not just call it that?
Is it maybe “for-geh-joe”? That seems the most likely to me, but then that ignores the “build < forge” marketing on their website.

I know it’s pretty inconsequential, but it feels weird using a tool that you don’t even know how to pronounce the name of.

Seems like a “haha JS bad” kind of joke, but OP seems to forget that Python is also in a similar boat.

You at least have to know that it’s a meme format. Otherwise it just looks like someone complaining about async with a bad crop.

Interestingly, this JXL loads in Boost, but the one in the post doesn’t. Perhaps it’s because it’s inside a comment?

I would say finding that the bug is in a library is worse than finding it in your own code.

If it’s your own code, you just fix it.

If it’s in a library you then have to go and search for issues. If there isn’t one, you then go and spend time making one and potentially preparing a minimum reproducible example. Or if you don’t do that (or it’s just unmaintained) then you have to consider downgrading to a version that doesn’t have the bug and potentially losing functionality, or even switching to another library entirely and consequently rewriting all your code that used the old one to work with the new one.

Yeah, I’d take my own bugs over library bugs any day.

Last I checked, almost none. They provide a JS API for common functions, so as long as you’re keeping things relatively simple you might not have to touch much Rust at all.

Supporting your position through things created in your brain is called “explaining yourself”, or more specifically “explaining the rationale behind your position”.

Did you think you were being clever?

Perhaps a paper hilt. It’ll trick some people into thinking it’s safer but as soon as you begin using it you realise it still has all the same problems as before.

I would say upvotes are thanks enough. But if you have something extra to say, then I’d say thanks in a comment and then give your extra information there.

For example, just “Thanks! That was useful/entertaining/enlightening/etc.” as a comment is pretty pointless, as an upvote conveys that exact message. Nothing more and nothing less.
If you have something more to say, then a comment would be appropriate. Perhaps something like: “Thanks! I did your X method with a bit of extra Y and now my car runs so much quieter!”.
This is especially true if your extra information would be useful to others who may also be reading the thread.

Wrong race that would upset my parents

Your parents aren’t going to date your partner, so their opinions on her race mean absolutely nothing. It’s like going to a restaurant with a friend and they tell you you can’t order salmon because they don’t like it. It’s not their food, so what they say doesn’t matter since they’re not eating it.

Feeling that my interest in the other person is not genuine and that I only see her as a sexual object

This felt a little too real to read. I know that feeling, and it’s not nice. I got no advice here, just letting you know you’re not alone in feeling it.

I have this dreadful feeling that I missed out on something important in life

The best part about life is that you get to define what’s important to you. Some people may find meaning in having a family, but it’s not the only objective way of finding meaning/purpose. You could find joy in creating things, exploring the world, even just working. There’s no secret formula or shortcut to finding it, and there’s definitely no hard rules about what it can be. I hope this helps you feel better.

I got my last 3 phones used, all were at a great discount, and all lasted about as long as you’d expect a new phone to.

I’ll continue buying used until new prices become reasonable again, and even then I will still probably buy used because it’s cheaper and helps combat ewaste (if only a little).

Fuck you, well done.

I think it’s a bug. I tried watching something a few hours ago and it also wouldn’t start. There’s a bunch of CORS errors in the console. It also won’t play on my phone either. I’m using Firefox on both, so it’s kind ironic that the “privacy-respecting” frontend won’t work on the (relatively) more privacy-respecting browser.

e2e encryption makes it difficult to provide fully cross-platform messaging experience

Why?
I can easily encrypt a message on my x86_64 Windows desktop, send it to my x86_64 Linux laptop, and also my ARM64 Android phone, and be able to decrypt it perfectly.

If I can do it then a development team can too.

And Lemmy!

I love Zorin, probably for more superficial reasons than most. I like a clean UI and Zorin provides that by default, no fiddling. I get that people like customisability and ricing and all that, and if I could design my OS as easily as I could write CSS then I probably would, but I’ve yet to find something that lets me do that. And even if I do find it, Zorin still looks good and just works, which is most of what I care about.
