  • Not tracked on Steam but Deus Ex (Randomizer mod), The 7th Guest (speedruns), and a few hundred hours in Overwatch

  • I've been working in Ruby on Rails lately (unfortunately) and yeah it's extremely bad at this. There's so much hidden implicit behavior everywhere.

  • It's been declined https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4225

    Imagine the same news article is posted in /c/cars and /c/fuckcars. It is not desired nor expected to have all comments combined.

    Making it a checkbox is an interesting idea though, but could still be confusing reading the comments with the different contexts.

  • Yeah I could see this being a big factor. Advertising money can also mean directly paying people to use it, and hoping some of their followers might come along.

  • Unfortunately I feel like people have stopped looking for a Twitter alternative already

  • You could say the same thing about why they made Bluesky when Mastodon exists

  • Yea the Mastodon devs are seriously underestimating how lazy the average person is lol

  • I think it's just discoverability of content, and probably some UX. Mastodon isn't really a great show of what ActivityPub can do. They intentionally don't have an "algorithm" or any kind of content discoverability. Also the federation is limited to following users, on Lemmy you can follow topics and that causes all their posts and comments to federate.

    Just today I heard Bluesky is making a Reddit alternative. I'm a bit worried they overtake Lemmy.

  • yea it would definitely suck if it only loaded 50 comments at a time, or 50 replies under a comment, but I think it's fine as-is

    once a comment thread gets deeper than 9, it’s a slapfight that’s best avoided.

    lol for sure, 9 is already a lot

  • I don't understand your comment. This is a fix for a crash in the backend, I don't see how it relates to lemmy-ui because it seems like any frontend would cause a crash with this issue if it's hitting the same API route. Also 50 is a lot. Finding a post with 50 comments is rare, finding one with a chain of over 50 in a row is even more rare. Such a thread would be clunky to display in the main comment tree anyways.

    This isn't just a comment with 50 replies, this is 50 levels of indentation.

    It's also funny to criticize Lemmy for being biased towards its own frontend when it probably has more (active and working) frontends than any competitor (Reddit, Mbin)

  • I'm not sure this can be really fixed with Python 3, maybe we just have to hope for Python 4

  • because it affects the communities too, lots of outside accounts use the communities here

    if there's downtime for the instance or database issues or something, then subscribers to c/programmer_humor or c/programming might want to know because it affects them too

  • I also had a 6P and it was really great

  • I wouldn't buy a phone as wide as the Nexus 6 again, not for myself
