Billionaires are inherently evil.

I'm making a push to hoard my books a little more organized. With the space I have on my e-reader, I could easily have thousands of books.

And I intend to take advantage of that. And I think I might keep a local git repo just for the sake of making sure regex formatting changes don't fuck things up.

A plane that caught the wire was pulled down onto the flexible carpet and slowed to a halt with a runout of only a few feet. A crane then lifted the aircraft onto a trolley; the trolley was winched forward for lowering to the hangar deck by elevator or to the catapult for launching.

Sounds like a pain in the ass

It's software for budgeting. You can run it entirely local, or set it up as a server. It stores everything in an SQLite dB, let's you import and export CSV files, and it gives you great options for querying and seeing reports on your financial records.

I've got a handful of accounts, so I set up a small python utility to parse the CSVs my banks give me to something actually sensible and readable for Actual. I do that once a month, add a reconciliation entry here and there, and it's all kept on sync very well.

I have one morbid report titled "money pissed down the landlord drain", and it's far higher than I'd like to be. But it's got close to every penny I've ever spent on that bullshit in one place.

That just means they become 100% efficient in winter!

Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

Get this; people live in cities.

Becoming a lobbyist doesn't sound like leaving politics.

At no point does the question say that the pizzas are the same diameter.

If it works it works.

I've had everything on this list with Visual Studio alone, with the exception of #2 maybe.

1. All the AI shit they're adding, plus the millions of windows you can pull up that are all hidden in different places. The only way this is remotely usable is with the search.
2. This happens every other day when working with Blazor. As an added bonus, it can never decide on spacing and will constantly change it.
3. Probably a symptom of using legacy code and modern code at the same time, but good god the settings for everything are in a million places.
4. Another symptom of blazor.
5. Our project is too big.

Agreed

It's a bit of both. I'll try to help him if he asks for help if/when the AI leads him down the wrong path, but who knows how deep in the tangled weeds of spaghetti he'll be in by then.

I don't think he's gonna need much math. He will need complicated editor things set up though, and I'm doubtful that the AI will understand much.

I have a friend who is trying to vibe code a unity project. I don't have high hopes for him, but I'm doing my best to support him and help him out.

Can't sell my data if I've never given them any

Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don't need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn't apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

You don't need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

I'm sick of seeing his name.

Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

Because it's federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.

It is open source. But from what I can tell the accounts are largely still hosted centrally, and it isnt federated in any way, which isn't great. Anybody can host an instance or server.

So ultimately it looks like a massive step up from Discord, with some small issues here and there.
