/kbin - a few quick announcements

Good morning! :) Today I want to focus mainly on reviewing the pull requests you've submitted. There are many great things there that will help improve the kbin experience. That's amazing, thank you! I'm also in the final stages of sorting out the infrastructure-related formalities. Soon, the situation with the website's...

sisyphean,

I've read somewhere that it's being run by "tankies". I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up and it seems that "tankies" are very militant communists.

sisyphean, to programming

This is something I’ve been wondering about for a long time. Programming is an activity that makes you face your own fallibility all the time. You write some code, compile it or run it, and then 80% of the time, it doesn’t work exactly the way you wanted to. There’s an error message, or it just behaves incorrectly. Then you need to iterate on it and fix the issues until you get the desired result, and even then it’s subtly wrong, and cause an outage at 3am on Sunday.

I thought this experience would teach programmers to be the humblest people in the world.

I can’t believe how wrong I was. Programmers can be the most arrogant dickheads you will ever meet. Why is that?

sisyphean,

14 years here. I will only go back to promote alternatives like kbin.

sisyphean,

The blackout probably won’t have an immediate effect. But by building awesome communities here and on Lemmy (which requires quality content everyone should work to produce), we can make sure they will be bleeding users and slowly fade into obscurity.

sisyphean,

His question about the rake at the end was hilarious.

sisyphean,

I really hope this will seriously hurt Reddit. /u/spez needs to be held accountable for his actions.

sisyphean,

Fedora

Btw I used Arch for two years but got fed up with the amount of necessary maintenance. Fedora just works.

sisyphean,

Yeah, the mobile site is really nice and convenient. An app would be great but the website itself is more than enough.

I guess we aren’t used to actually good mobile experiences anymore.

sisyphean,

Definitely. My Reddit account is 14 years old. That’s a lot of fond memories.

sisyphean,

This is very promising, the samples on the site sound like actual music!

/kbin - Just Reddit Things update

Hey, once again, I welcome the newcomers. It's great to see new faces here :) It seems that we've managed to resolve the server issue. Unfortunately, I had to temporarily disable certain features, such as content auto-refresh. It will be restored at the beginning of next week after the infrastructure change, so you'll get to...

sisyphean,

What an amazing explanation, I really wish kbin had a save feature
