I wish communities could be grouped in some way.

or not 🤷‍♂️

Sure it’s more practical, but your whole community (as in “people”) is now centralized on a single point. If you have a single one “gaming” community, and it disappears or is taken over, you lose everything and need to start over from scratch. If you have 3-4 communities spread across different instances, if one of those communities become unusable, it’s easier to abandon it to become active on the next one.

Decentralization is not a silver bullet, but as we’ve seen during the last year with Twitter and Reddit, it’s better than the alternative. Nothing prevents you to subscribe to several similar communities, each with its own flavor, and participate in the one(s) you want.

I’d like to know the median instead of the average.

The boy scout technique: fix your types when you’re working on a bug or a feature, one file at a time. Also try to use unknown instead of any for more sensitive parts, it will force you to typecheck.

The kid that tried to kill 2 people by throwing them bricks, paint buckets, and broken glass is now a spokesperson for Facebook? How surprising.

It is opt-in though? The site can’t track you until you agree with its cookies policy

The EU did its job correctly by forcing sites to ask for consent. How that rule is implemented is up to the sites, and they often choose to do it in the most annoying possible way. And then tell you to blame the EU for it.

Also as a website owner, you only need to ask for consent when you use more than “strictly necessary” cookies (https://gdpr.eu/cookies/), i.e. cookies that are needed for your site to function normally.

I see Lemmy is already at the “X is bad, updoots on the left” stage

ah so you’re (at least) 35

“Can we focus on Rampart, please”

lmao that game was so bad they removed it from Playstation’s online store, but yeah I guess “it wasn’t that bad”

Edit: here’s “not that bad” according to CDPR: https://nitter.lacontrevoie.fr/gautoz/status/1407006269047771151#m

Right. And do you have the same emotional response when seeing a picture of a steak and when seeing a video of a kitten being tortured and then burned alive?

Don’t play dumb, people are downvoting you because you pretend that seeing a picture of a steak evokes the same feelings as seeing a video of a kitten being tortured to death.

Yes there’s no difference between a picture of a steak and fries on a plate, and a kitten being tortured then burned alive. Absolutely the same thing.

I’ve been using Kagi for ~6-9 months, as a developer. Gives satisfying results and I never feel the need to go back to Google. When I was using DDG, I always went back too Google to get better results.

I’m pretty vanilla with my plugins:

• Omnisearch - disclaimer, I’m the main dev
• ReadItLater - a scraper to quickly save articles that I reference in my own notes
• Excalidraw
• Linter - mainly to automatically format my notes with a createdAt metadata and an h1 title
• Dataview - I don’t use it extensively but I have a few js snippets to query external APIs like Github or Mastodon

I try to avoid plugins that stray from “standard” markdown, to not rely on Obsidian.

“deleting” only flags the comments as such in the database, but that still makes them unreadable. That means unreadable conversations and lost information for users.

The same author also has a free tutorial here. The ECS library used in it is a bit dated, and it’s a good idea to follow the tutorial but use a more modern one (like hecs, or bevy_ecs if you’re feeling more comfortable in rust)

And the site itself if you feel that the Twitch high-speed meme spam isn’t really worth it: https://reddark.untone.uk/

Agree with this.

From the op:

“they’re for power users and regular users won’t understand them”

It’s right though. 90+% of users are fine with default settings, so it makes sense to hide them. Otherwise, at best it is confusing & intimidating, at worst a lot of users will have an awful UX because they tweak settings they don’t understand.
