Good point. I wonder if there was a way to like auto-transcribe these voice/video comments and automatically embed them in the source code so you have like a written-out comment that people could read.

This guy embeds TicTok URLs in source comments followed by long strings of emoji

You’re assuming too much of Americans. We exist in late-stage capitalism and are desperately trying to survive.

I used to be the second guy, and then realized the system I was working in. America can fuck itself (and it is), I’m off to Europe later this year.

And the Lord added, “Your cart ride to the infirmary shall be charged at 100 times the cost of service,” and it was so.

People don’t understand that the average programmer’s EQ is in the top decile because they’re forced to work through the stages of grief several thousand times a year

Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash, or doing pull instead of push. From what I’ve been reading, the design seems a little janky.

When the protocol favors monoliths, we’re right back to the Reddit problem

Interesting. Curious if you have a better understanding of ActivePub - do you happen to know if the protocol guarantees synchonicity and what mechanism guarantees it?

The implementation as far as I understand it is plain stupid. It prevents small instances from participating at any significant scale and seems happy to just drop data over the wire without reconciling. Seriously amateurish.

Doing some reading + confirming with an instance owner, this is how it’s working now. You can click on the “Instances” link at the very bottom of the page to see who else your instance is connected to. An instance mirrors all content for all other instances its connected to.

This fits my idea of his personality so well that it isn’t even humorous to learn about

I’m out of the loop - what sub is this referring to?

I guess it’s Lemmy’s turn to experience the eternal September effect. At least the “New Platform” is better resilient to greed this time. Long live Digg Reddit Lemmy!

I think it’s more to do with sitting in a position between two or more groups with radically different interests. In this case, investors/future shareholders and their users.
