The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing....
The fediverse won’t succeed at putting up a #Stackoverflow substitute and that’s a problem?
Just an impression: All the pieces seem to be there. But what’s required is a team, with devs, PMs and coordinators, dedicated to making a particular place in the #fediverse .
That’s resources and decently sized financial and organisational demands, especially to get a critical mass of users.
Is the fediverse up to that challenge? If not, is it an issue worth addressing?
Additionally: adoption is a feature you can’t design. Any site that’s just people talking is either firmly established or in deep trouble. The middle ground cannot last.
Apple destroyed a thousand dollars worth of thrift-store finds and people are sincerely mad about that?
Bitching about iPad versus iPod is just bitching about… computers. It’s a fucking tablet. Those have uses. They are in fact advertised on those uses - that’s all the shit getting crushed by a hydraulic press.
Figma is an interface design tool. It’s how task-specific tools get made. It also works over the internet. Big whoop.
Ohhh, this is the Sneer Club instance. That explains the almost-reasonable criticism sprinkled atop incomprehensible cynicism. Performative eye-rolling is the only thing that makes you happy.
Voice-to-voice is going to be fantastic, because you still hire Steve Blum, but you have him do six characters who sound nothing alike. But only for the important bits. If you need a thousand lines about mundane background nonsense then you have the devs record themselves and filter it to sound like the character. You’d mimic the serious voice actor’s performance… not their voice.
Modern RTS games are just (mostly) sloppy, unfinished, cashgrabs with no vision.
As were many classic RTS games. I fondly remember Machines, a fully 3D example from the late 90s. I recently noticed the CD case describes it as “3D Real-Time Startegy.”
A violent effort to overturn the election is what a coup is. Fuck anyone still denying what you saw with your own eyes. An angry mob stormed the US capitol, cornering the entire elected government except ONE MOTHER FUCKER, who sent that mob there in the first place.
You are why civility rules are a failure of moderation.
I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
/r/TrueReddit was fine for years and years, until some Nazi-adjacent cunt got tapped to play god while the real mod neglected all feedback. Suddenly, being a fascist wasn’t against the rules… but “so you’re a fascist” was a personal attack. And questioning that rule was against the rules. And warning people about that rule was against the rules.
The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....
I need to unfuck how Lemmy uses a little grey icon to distinguish expanding images from links, and THEY LOOK IDENTICAL. It’s a constant pain in the ass and there is no excuse.
What douchebag moron allowed colons in the middle of element attributes? Whichever particular mother-fuckers decided HTML, Javascript, and CSS should all use incompatible naming conventions with magical conversions betwixt can eat a pineapple whole.
Donald Trump dangled a brazen “deal” in front of some of the top US oil bosses last month, proposing that they give him $1bn for his White House re-election campaign and vowing that once back in office he would instantly tear up Joe Biden’s environmental regulations and prevent any new ones, according to a bombshell new...
A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40...
And tell anyone mewling ‘don’t vote-shame!’ or ‘that just makes me do nothing harder’ to go fuck themselves. Condemn, report, and block that trolling horseshit.
This site is awash in trolley problem jokes. Everyone understands the concept. Choose less evil, you smug fucks.

Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?
