Totally anecdotal but I’d originally quit Reddit back in December and was an avid Sync user. Heard about Lemmy during the reddit drama and could just never get into it. After ljdawson dropped Sync, started to get into Lemmy!
Do a search on mobile and you need to scroll through an ENTIRE SCREEN full of ads (4-5) to get to the first result. And even that might be SEO’d. That’s the current sad state of affairs.
YouTube comments were brought under Google+ shortly after that launched. After Google+ was cancelled, they may have adopted different appearances based on other websites’ usage.
I prefer forums. The tech behind fediverse and whatever stuff is just too hidden. I think in a matter of months everything goes back to forums. Also, go back to old mmos. They are the best.
It’s a system for publishing your posts and comments. That is literally what it is for: making them public. When you post, you thereby willingly surrender control over whose computer your message might be copied to.
The Lemmy server software, in particular, defaults to open federation. This means that the “normal” mode of operation is literally to permit absolutely anyone anywhere in the world to read (or otherwise process) whatever you’re posting.
So you can’t reasonably expect to prevent or deter someone from using the material that you have caused to be delivered onto their own hard drive.
It would be interesting to require as a condition of federation that all posted content be placed under a share-alike license like CC BY-SA: you may do whatever you like with it, but you must cite your sources, and the work you create thereby must also be reshareable under the same terms.
If you’re not into vinesauce he’s an older variety streamer from the pre twitch days. Lot of his stuff is finding obscure and terrible games. Halflife amd its mods being a favorite of his.
This video is him explaining what it is, from an outsiders perspective. He goes through a some of the garbage explotive stuff that’s comming from it but also has his friend AgentRedJackel interview some fans of it via vrChat.
I found it was a good summary of everything you need to know without actually getting into it.
She was an old woman in the democratic party. That’s three things a lot of people on the internet hate. Since most agree she was a politician not fit for her job anymore they can go all out with the insults without getting too much backlash.
As a person who has been writing JS for a very long time, and was building SPAs before the term existed…
It all comes down to return on investment. The arguments I always hear in favor of TS are solutions to problems I’ve never had, at the expense of writing more code to do the same amount of work.
It’s the same for people who tell me that they think everything should be tested then show me the tests they spent the last 40 hours working on, which I can quickly see are extremely brittle and unlikely to ever show any ROI. You will never be able to test every scenario, increasing the amount of things you test arbitrarily just increases the cost of building and maintaining your software. Each test you add should be something worth building and maintaining.
Excess code that isn’t providing value is far more detrimental than not having a few extra tests or type safety.
You really have to be careful. Sometimes browser add-ons can really fuck with your search results. A YouTube enhancer extension was a culprit at one point. If you're on Android, it's possible for apps to do this too. Stuff is constantly being patched and blacklisted, but it might not be purely the search engine's fault. I don't main Google anymore, but I still occasionally do use it when other engines let me down, and Google has been different enough.
I'm not saying it's worse or not worse, but that, if it's REALLY bad, it's also possible it's something else.
Edit (a week later): no, Google has actually gotten weirdly worse recently. Confirmed on multiple PCs. Not sure if it's just Google, the entire spread of the internet, or just search engines getting SEOd.
Yeah, I think ublock origin is the only extension I have on my browser - I prefer not to let some random extensions have access to everything I do on my web browser. Who knows what data they're logging
