That article hurt a little to read - it’s not a T-Rex, it’s so obviously a Utahraptor I’m a bit flabbergasted that made it to print. But I guess not everyone had my obsession with dinosaurs as a child…

The amount of people bootlicking a corporation’s decision to cut costs rather than just moderate effectively is pretty astonishing for Lemmy,
Plenty of people got value out of the comment section - if nothing else, they were invaluable in knowing when to skip past the recap/opening theme/filler content in long-running shows like One Piece.
Most of it is pretty inane, but there was some useful stuff in there, and I always found it fun to see what other people thought of particularly crazy episodes.
I expect people have moved onto other and better games, and never bothered to update their review from years ago - I definitely fall into that category.
Lazy Web devs who took the ‘mobile first’ mantra to mean ‘mobile only’ 🙄
I think it’ll actually be Xarmageddon, which is like Armageddon, but much more woke.
I’m surprised he hasn’t changed his name to Elon Mux by now.
Ok but who actually doesn’t know what a magazine is
Kbin devs, apparently.
I don’t think broad brushstrokes are helpful here - regular people can be real assholes, and we need to balance a public servant’s individual right to privacy with the public’s right to transparency.
Some jobs such as Police Officers, I have no qualms with filming while they’re in uniform or otherwise on-the-job. But I can also see how a blanket approval could backfire, e.g. some aggrieved person decides to stalk some poor guy who’s only job is to center divs on some government website, just because they find out he’s a government worker.
I had this exact fight with my team several months ago, and lost to popular opinion since the rest of my team are either zoomers or indifferent.
Wait… People are calling the emergency phone line after getting scammed? Wonder if that’s just Zoomers being too dumb to avoid scams but not dumb enough to think an emergency phone call will help.
Can confirm that the first doesn’t work on Alexandrite, but the second works as expected.
I think you’re right and it’s frontend-specific - I’m using Alexandrite and it shows perfectly, but I just checked the default Lemmy UI and it doesn’t handle it properly either.
Tbh it sounds more and more like it’s a kbin interaction problem rather than anything you’re doing…
Not sure if there’s any way for you to resolve it other than getting a Beehaw mod to update it for you.
If you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven’t got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.
e.g.
[!destroy\_my\_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game)
vs !destroy_my_game@programming.dev
I suspect it’s just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.
I think Lemmy uses ! for instances because @ is used for users - e.g. I expect that @[email protected] will automatically link to your profile on your instance (and link to your profile on any other viewer’s instance - e.g. for me it should link to an aussie.zone URL).
It’s probably a design decision to differentiate communities from users.
Since you’re posting to a lemmy instance (beehaw), you should probably use the lemmy style - i.e. !community@instance - I don’t think there’s any need to create an explicit link since I think most UIs will format it for you.
Overwatch(2) - [email protected]
Agreed - they really just need to roll the ‘Profile Switcher for Firefox’ extension into base functionality - and this would have the benefit of not requiring an additional install to work.
Blizzard aren’t worth going out of your way to defend with a review, but the game is fun enough that people playing it are probably doing just that - playing the game.
For my part, my friend group have played pretty regularly since OW1 released, and continue to do so. The game has its problems but they’re no more egregious than the ones in games like Apex or PUBG, and certainly not bad enough to put it in the same league as all the hentai crypto mining asset-flips littering Steam these days.
I think this is technically a loop.
Which is the problem AI is solving here - getting every supermarket chain to agree on this (when it’s actually against their interests to do so, since it increases price transparency) would be an impossible task, but AI can get around this requirement with minimal extra effort.
I’m hardly an AI evangelist, but this is actually one of the rare situations where it’s a good fit.
