I can only hope programming.dev of all instances doesn’t have this problem!

(Also, I’m really wondering where does this error come from. It can’t be, in theory, from lemmy itself, right? One would think user input in posts is sanitized so that it’s not used as code, either raw or processed).

/etc/passw[nothing]d blocked here at lemm.ee.

Oh, we heard, Rust is the greatest invention since sliced bread. We heard it already. Like 65534 times.

Finally.

Regular English

I think you meant XMPP?

Servers & clients use too many resources.

Didn’t XMPP solve that in, like, 1999?

(Really, what is with devs and nu-protocols these days? Back in my days you could run a webhost on a potato)

I’m probably way out of the loop but from the perspective of devs getting to contribute, don’t stuff like Discourse ship with “login with your Github account” already? Or Google, or Facebook, or…

Also, please, it’s 1 click nowadays to make your browser remember your logins for you, if it comes down to laziness

I get that people want a “simple way to chat” and Discord does that well, I guess. I mean, everyone’s talking about the forum aspect but what’s the alternative for chat? Mumble?

Just, please, don’t hide documentation in the Discord. A neocities page costs literally $0. Please. Think of the poor SEO consultants!

“CEO golden parachute” insane? Or just “I can’t believe it’s past minimum wage!” “insane”?

Those corporations just leech off the work of developers just like they do off the work of everyone else. The only difference is developers get it worse because at least the employees get something close to the minimum wage.

There’s a wide gap between “rely on lies” and “be forced to lie”.

Want me to buy your media legally? Oh please, this is tremendously easy to do for a corporation!

• Downloadable files (you have files, right? Otherwise how are you streaming out the stuff)
• …with open codecs (you are using an open codec right? Otherwise you have to encode your stuff like 10 times for 10 different devices each with its own idiosyncrasy)
• …without DRM (you have clean copies right? it’d not be smart to base a business model on files you can’t open, see the above)
• …at an aggregate price that’s lower than paying for TV cable (you can cash in only a bit, right? It’s digital media and your competition is literally over-the-air TV with extra steps, it’s not like you have the mother of pearl of cancer cures here)

Hello staff, this post please, how do I upvote thrice?

Also:

$8.99, which is effectively $9, which is effectively $10

At that price it better all of it goes to the effort and not of it to the CEO.

Or you could just set the “mic” to blast some good ol’ Rick Astley.

Geocities. Geocities still lives on.

All that post needs to be truly complete is some marquee or blink.

Good catch! This is something I’ve never seen the"reddit report" complainers process adequately or offer a counterpoint to.

Been wondering about that.

A few years ago I took on the practice of (as a writer) posting on FFN only to announce that my stories are on AO3. Try and drive the reader engagement from the bad site to the cool site and all that. Presumably what is intended here is that eg.: if I find a post / subject of discussion that I want to comment on on Reddit, what I do is post in an equivalent Lemmy community (or Kbin magazine, for that matter) and point to it in a Reddit post? Kinda like “read my comments on this subject here [link]”?

Interestingly, that’d be not too different from how one does with a blog, yes?

I like the model in that it’s kinda instant awareness - there’s almost no way to miss that the link goes to a different domain, among other things. What I wonder however is how much effective would it be at drawing in people vs being disregarded as (and even being modop’d away as) an ad.

Not if you ascribe to Woolseyism.

It looks unprofessional

Are you complaining about this for free software when some software and platform thatcost around $44B (or $8/mo) are literal Nazi stinkholes?
