Become a bad programmer and be thankful you won’t have to further maintain your code instead!

Because when you’re down in life, nothing quite helps like getting fat, diabetes and cavities.

Treat yourself to even more problems!

Back on reddit, I mostly interacted with communities relating to JRPGs. There are some communities over here, but at most they post some trailers every now and then. There are also some more focussd communities about Dragon Quest, Xenoblade or SMT - all of them practically dead. I don’t think there is an instance.

I could go over to a programming related one, the german instance or even one of the vegan instances for secondary ‘interests’, but those aren’t things I often find myself posting about online to be honest. They seem to be mostly about memes anyways.

Unfortunately, there is no instance matching my interests. There are a number of communities across different instances, but it seems like several people tried to make their own, didn’t interact with each other and all of them are long dead.

Once I find such an instance, I’ll switch over. I’ve been meaning to leave .world anyways.

While I do agree with the problems identified, I can’t help but think they also made forums a lot better. Due to the lower discoverability and higher effort to actually join communities felt more personal. You interacted with smaller groups and came to know specific people. I still have friends from back then.

On larger platforms, I never had that. Even lemmy, which is small in comparison has enough people that I barely even think about specific users. Let alone speak with them on a personal level.

Sadly enough, I’ve only looked for a few seconds and already found a similar edit to this exact page. At the very least you’ve got some good patriotic brainwashing going on.

Maybe, but I think it will remain more popular than before. Let’s say there are 10% of people in any given group who would theoretically believe bullshit - the number is chosen randomly. Thanks to stuff like TikTok they are way more likely to come into contact with lots of different bullshit to believe in than ever before.

Kind of like how Republicans would be more popular if everyone would watch Fox News every day.

Kind of? I remember a statistic about pseudo-science being more popular with younger generations. Energy healing, healing stones and all that other homeopathic bullshit. Assuming that is indeed correct, Flat Earth is likely more popular too.

It probably does okay simply by virtue of being so stupid, there aren’t many people in their right mind producing videos about the earth being round to drown them out.

The kernel is probably too large to rewrite the whole thing at once. This could lead to a future without any new C kernel devs, leading to stagnation, while the Rust kernel could be many years away from being finished. (Assuming we actually move away from C.)

At that point you might as well just start an entirely new kernel and hope it is good enough to eventually replace the Linux one once all devs are gone. Kinda the X11 and wayland thing.

It’s quite logical even. Right-wing answers are short, simple and spoken with certainty. That’s great for a half-minute clip. Answers grounded in reality are complex, require proof and have some uncertainty. That’s not gonna fit in there, or, at the very least, you need an outstanding communicator.

No matter the age, most people stick just with what they hear most often.

That’s probably the main reason to reason to ban AI. They want a mostly clean training set and they will probably add their own AI answers to each question as well.

Also, each satelite that burns up upon re-entry isn’t just gone - it still introduces vaporized materials into the upper atmosphere.

Iirc they are harming the ozone layer.

Well, I’ve been missing out on the whole travelling thing.

I’ve been too poor to relate to that.

Well, basically yes to every question. Those all amount to waste and that is always a bad thing.

Eat less pizza then instead of wasting food.

Contest #1: 2 Gold - 0 Silver - 1 Bronze

Contest #2: 1 Gold - 2 Silver - 0 Bronze

Having one gold more makes perfect sense if you look at multiple contests.

I surrender, this time around I didn’t even know you could shorten William to Bill. Next up someone’s telling me Donald is short for Ottobertifurz - honoring his fake german roots.

I knew that Joe could be short for Joseph, it just never occured to me that you guys would address the president of all people with a short form.

That’s the post I found out he’s not literally named ‘Joe’. Would be even more embarassing if I was american, but still.
