I've told this to smokers all my life. By quitting cigars they could have 2 extra ice creams plus some cheetos every day. Yeah those were my metrics when I started, I refuse to change them.

More than the actual message, I have a different issue with this comment.

It's how it's one of the most incredibly Uncool things to do to make fun of someone caring too much for their hobbies when you're an outsider. The moment it implied that this user is not an hiker, it instantly corrupted everything about it. That edit carries malice.

There's a word for it, and I refuse to do anything but downvote those people on sight.

If appealing to empathy worked for convincing the rich and lawmakers into helping the poor and miserable, there wouldn't be (...as many) poor and miserable.

They're too busy, uhmmm checks notes* fighting abortion or some insanely and inherently evil shit like that

Ah, so Code is the same as Vim if... I go out of my way to either disable things on one or install things on the other.

Or... Or... Code is an IDE (that you can strip down) and Vim is a text editor (that you can strip up).

We don't stop calling a computer one just because it can still boot without most of its modules. The default presentation matters.

Ah yes, the two halves of the world, America and Europe.

*$70 game

*$120 complete

The majority of companies who use Slack (over the likes of Teams) are tech-oriented companies made mid last decade.

Making a Twitter scrapper that pushes to a webhook would take half a day and would cost essentially zero if you just toss it in a random cloud cluster and forget about it. And if you don't have that scale, then you likely have a team leader somewhere who will run it on a machine of their own out of spite.

And scrappers are way more wasteful for the target webhost.

This change hurts literally nobody other than Felon. Good.

Just block them. I've blocked 20 more times the number of communities and users here than on reddit.

I hear this, but then I also think of the "So... what hapenned to all the horses?" question

Their numbers went down. Drastically. That's what hapenned. But that isn't History when it happens to Horses.

Probably lemmy.world since that's where their user is seeded.

And I wouldn't know. I use voyager.

I remember remembering my 4th birthday cake. I remember remembering it. But the actual memory is gone. As is anything from before I was maybe 7.

Someone please create a piracymemes community. It's best for both sides.

I saw this in a HCI paper once. The prior work was just a review of current science, and had no findings in regards to the topic stated.

I did not point it out to the guy. We all knew 80% of what's written in the field was bullshit.

Just start believing the conspiracy theories. Looking or not looking just changes the lighting system from ambient to raytracing, simple. Why spend so many resources rendering what no player is there to observe? Low level simulation on unloaded chunks.

Ah! A field absolutist. Keep preaching, friend.

...so it's newpipe.

Funny enough, if it is an API problem, then this is one of the scenarios that a scrapper could easily solve the issue and grant accurate results again. A playwright script written by ChatGTP could do it.

I read reddit with a client that uses a scrapper now. The fuck is reddit gonna do, block Chromium? They said they wanted to stop this, well, congrats, they started it instead.

Congrats on explaining the original facebook tier joke.

Congrats on somehow missing that was the joke.

fancy IRC

IRC was already "caveman playing with sticks and pebbles" a decade before discord became a thing. It's really not a good point of comparison and questioning.

Discord became popular for one simple reason: anyone could make a server, share it with a crossplatform link, and others could then try out that link without installing anything. In other words, it became popular because it literally copied Slack and because the Skype era was atrociously bad customization and ease of use-wise compared to the preceding.
