  • For what it's worth, I see zero mentions of her age in the thread, so I think that was an assumption on your part

    But I'm in complete agreement about the creepy and controlling comments. He wasn't creepy, he was having anxiety over the relationship, and she addressed it herself, eventually choosing to end that relationship.

  • These bot posts are awful for Lemmy engagement.

    People see bots posting massive amounts of content, which zero people want discuss in the comments.

    There's a couple of instances that seem to be dedicated entirely to reposting bots. Every new person who joins Lemmy either is put off by all the bot spam without users, or they have to block several dozen bots and communities to make a usable experience.

    It's no wonder it doesn't grow any faster. I get the idea that we should take a cue from Reddit on this one, and curate a "new-user-friendly" set of default subscriptions for guests and new signups.

    Or maybe defederate from nom.mom to get rid of like 75% of this nonsense.

  • And yeah why do we never hear about the shattered tanks in hydroponics, people falling into the warp core, and doctors getting stabbed by their own scalpels every time a laser hits the ship?

    Generally this is glossed over. First off, red alert procedures mean preparing for battle conditions, so it probably means halting non-essential operations that would be high risk during a battle, as well as increased precautions by essential personnel.

    Second, we get immediate damage and casualty reports, which includes a fly by mention of damage and injured crew. That probably covers most of what you are thinking of. It's all repaired by the next episode anyway.

  • Lemmy's default web UI?

    It's barebones and not the most readable. Clearly designed for the desktop browser experience, which is never going to be the dominant way of using Lemmy.

    But my biggest issue with it is that it defaults to the worst feed and sorting algorithm Lemmy has. Every time I load the page, it is back to the "local" feed, sorted by "active" even if I've changed my account settings.

  • I’ve never felt dependent on public code repos for my own career before,

    I hope you don’t actually believe this.

    I think you misunderstood me. We all use open source software or develop using open source libraries, and in the context of the question, I don't care where they host their code, as long as I can find it. But that isn't what I was talking about. I have never felt like my career depended on me publicly hosting my own code. I have found jobs and connected with people through other means, and they haven't even asked to see my github profile in any interviews I've been in.

    which is why you should always open source your code unless there’s a specific reason not to. If you’ve ever made something that works, then your cube would be useful.

    Sure, I have a Python script running on a Raspberry Pi controlling my garage door opener. You want it, I'll show it to you. I believe in open source software, but I'm not going out of my way to publicly host (and document, yuck!) every little thing I've made for myself, especially when they have often been tailor made for my home environment, or hacked together in 15 minutes and riddled with secrets.

    But my main reason is simply privacy. I don't want to broadcast to the Internet what project I am working on right now, or reveal the architecture of my home network or smart home setup. There's a lot you reveal about yourself when you show the world what you are doing, and I would prefer not to do that.

  • I don't understand the question or the responses.

    It's a host for code repos. I would "switch" from GitHub if the repos I need to interact with were hosted somewhere else.

    How do y'all use GitHub? Is everyone running their own open source project? None of my personal projects have ever been open source before. Very few of them were even useful for anyone but myself

    I've been a developer for 20 years, I've never felt dependent on public code repos for my own career before, and I would be uncomfortable if it happened. No employer has even asked for my public GitHub profile or to see my commit activity. Not even when the company hosted their code on GitHub

  • It wasn't even necessarily Disney's lead on this one. Lucasfilm has always used Star Wars as a vehicle to sell toys, and that didn't change since the Disney acquisition.

    Granted, Disney is good at that as well, so it was a pretty good match up.

  • In the comics, the writers regularly show how he is directly involved with the Wayne foundation, which runs social service programs and provides aid for people who need it. More than once he has offered jobs at Waynetech to street thugs that are obviously just down on their luck and need a break.

    This was brought up often in the 90s Animated Series as well as the Arkham games... unfortunately the movies rarely make time to show this. The Nolan movies tried, but it didn't come across very well.

    The systemic issues in Gotham are regularly shown to be in spite of the Wayne family, rather than because of them. It's unrealistic, but hey, it's fiction
