What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?

  • Honestly, I don't think the second one is a mess (except punctuation). I think it just conveys - or at least suggests - that something out of the ordinary is happening. It takes mundane things and makes you question them, given the extra attention given to the normal things like a name or place. Sounds like John maybe isn't his real name and maybe he's going to this store for something other than groceries.

  • Wild assertion that these are semi-famous with only just over 4k views on the original post. And on DA in 2021 no less. I've seen no name YouTubers with higher subscriber counts.

    1. Always err on the side of scepticism when reading things online, especially when those things assert themselves as truth.

  • Would you kindly answer this yourself?

    A man determines his own answers, the parasite seeks forums.

    • Writers of Lemmy, how do you do outining?

    Jump

  • Plug for something like Obsidian here. I recently started a new novel and the ability to divide everything into folders and sections that I can link to within my writing has been invaluable.

    If it's been a while since I referenced a place or event or character, I can write their name and link out to their dedicated page full of info and reference material on them. If I have something I think of on the fly that I want to remember, I can create a new reference page and link to it, or add it to an existing page whenever I need to .

    The organization is a game changer. I write chapter by chapter, sometimes bouncing around in the timeline, and stitch everything together as I finalize a section.

    • Anyone have experience doing bounties on repl.it?

    Jump

  • Seems like a way for people to exploit developers from non-US countries for "prototypes" and hours of labor without paying much of anything at all. They offer these bounties in hopes that people apply for the exposure and learning, or from somewhere that the USD carries a lot of weight in the applicant's native currency. Likely not aimed at professional developers from a superpower country looking to make money from odd jobs.
