Communities moving to ‘chat’ based platforms instead of traditional discussion boards is something I’ve observed a lot in the last few years. Which certainly feel like a step backwards in my view. It keeps happening though, so I must he in the minority opinion on this.

What kind of grinder do you have?

Folks drive at what they feel is a safe speed for themselves. The posted speed limit doesn’t really seem to impact much, when the road is wide, the lanes are big, and there aren’t many turns or traffic calming elements, people will go fast because others are going fast.

That’s been my lived experience, and generally is supported by research that its road design more than anything that dictates speed.

This is absolutely not how they are designed. Maybe in theory, but in practice I’d say its way more than 15% of traffic speeding.

Why is that? I’ve read them referred to as dark matter developers (forget where I read this, maybe a book many years ago). They’re out there, they make up a majority of the field, yet they leave no trace because they do not blog, post on SO, or back in the day forums either as questioners or answerers.

I’m don’t disagree. Good developers use the tools to do better, but its incremental not revolutionary improvements for already competent developers.

I think I could have states my opinion better. I think LLMs total value remains to be seen. They allow totally incompetent developers to occasionally pass as below average developers. Is that good or bad? I don’t know. What an average and excellent developer can do with LLM assistance is less clear. Certainly it can help those developers in some situations.

There are a LOT of superficial devs out there. You dont even have to be interviewing junior devs. Plenty of them out there at medium and senior levels. They existed before LLMs were spitting code like today, and this will undoubtedly lower the bar for bad developers to enter. It remains to be seen if this can help the gold developers in a meaningful way.

Link? I’d like to see. Always amusing to see that kind of thing.

Welcome to the Internet. Pontification is all we’ve got. Now we’ve got LLMs regurgitating the old pontifications to make new ones.

I came in with your same expectations and found the same shit. Just some opinion formed on the basis of “concern”.

Same here. That works well for desktop, they also have an electron app that wraps their web ui into a desktop app and it works well enough. Bridge works very well for any other desktop app you’d want to use.

The only trouble is that on mobile your option is their app or the web interface, no ability to use alternative apps. The mobile app is good, but not great.

Overall its a good service and I’m happy bit you need to know these limitations going in or it could be frustrating.

Hiding a camera in person would be actively malicious if the other party doesn’t know. Having a zoom recording leaked is less actively.

Cries in left-pad.

The OP discusses exactly a solution to the anyone setting up an instance to capture the data, because the users home instance federates their votes anonymously.

There maybe flaws in it, not that’s exactly what it aims to solve.

Not seeing it on f-droid yet.

Great movie. In this case, at end of this one you can have assets and apparently also tell your friends what you’re up to.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

George Carlin said it, but this is a great example of it in practice.

Campout Magazine is woman owned and has a very vintage and retro feel.

I don’t think we should have to accept toxic behavior or content on facilitate discussions.

Perhaps the problem is that many folks are quick to label anything they don’t immediately understand or agree with as toxic, and if that’s what you mean I agree we need less of that.

I fail to see the distinction:

story >> book (paper) == own

story >> movie (DVD) != own

That doesn’t add up. I realize this post is more about streaming than physical discs, but the point remains.
