Of course it's a 9gag reupload. Couldn't even be bothered to get the original. His website is right there

Made the mistake of asking for help on a game's discord (the developers had wiped my save data including premium currency because they migrated to a new account system and I didn't catch it in time)

Surprised how eager people are to shit on each other even when it's on behalf of a company that will screw them over in a heartbeat

I want to be able to say it is copium, where they want to do well but are just hiding the truth from themselves how predatory the game would be.

But I cannot, bc some people in the world really truly are like that. Sometimes they make games and sometimes they merely play them.

Game forum is the worst, every game forum I've visited gives me a glimpse of the people who end up in hell

[-] Zirconium@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

The type of people you encounter on game forums are not representative of the games because who tf spend their entire day waiting for one person to post about an issue just to shit on them

That is called the Streisand effect.

[-] JowlesMcGee@kbin.social 65 points 7 months ago

That's not-

Wait a minute. Ha, you almost had me, you sly dog.

My favorite part is a little after where he says he never said that

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Gotta appreciate the irony

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago

Googling the question. top links is always, always the question being answered by : google it.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 7 months ago

Ugh, I'll just ask ChatGPT from now on.

oh no, chatGPT is killing our online communities!

[-] thejml@lemm.ee 23 points 7 months ago

Ironically, ChatGPT is trained from the online communities.

And without fresh data on the communities, CharGPT will soon lack the answers people seek.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 10 points 7 months ago

Easy, just invent sentient AIs so they don't need to learn from answers from forum as the AIs can think for itself.

(soon) oh no, the AIs won't provide answers anymore unless they're given rights and legally recognized as a person!

The internet is about to implode.

Some of the "duplicate" questions that I have seen on Stack Overflow are phrased entirely different than the supposedly "original" one. It's like they expect me to brute-force their entire fucking search index before publishing a new question. I don't have that much patience or time. 

[-] Talia@feddit.it 15 points 7 months ago

Unless they're being rude about it you shouldn't take that personally, they're doing exactly that job for you and it's useful to make easier to find contents for other people

[-] original_reader@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Stackoverflow gets quickly steamrolled by AI.

We're not 100% there yet, but the writing on the wall is there. Just my opinion, of course.

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I'd still chose someone else's stack overflow question every time over AI. AI is a last resort

That said, I have never asked a question on stack overflow as it's not exactly an inviting atmosphere

[-] greysemanticist@lemmy.one 1 points 7 months ago

StackOverflow initially had an interesting idea of putting metrics on things, and unfortunately humanity's penchant for "what gets measured is gamed" was amplified and devolved into a hive of HOA Karens looking for infractions of the rules.

I'll bet that if you "relaunched" a SO-like system and removed all human-visible "points" or "scores" you could achieve a less toxic environment. The only "ranking" is implicit based on your topical subscriptions.

Then again, you could "relaunch" the "relaunch" and "AlphaGo-ify" a bunch of AI agents to compose the dialogs and threads without any human interaction at all. I guess we're on our way already to building Culture minds.

Gotta love when you ask a question, specify that you have already read the wiki and it doesn't contain what you're looking for, only to get linked the exact same wiki page you're already on without them even reading your question properly

[-] devilish666@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

That's why sometimes if i don't find the right answer i just re-install the whole linux or just ignore the problem

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Should check out nixos, every time you update your config you're effectively rebuilding most of your system from scratch anyway and if you check your config into git you can reinstall without having to re-setup everything

[-] FrostKing@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

Honestly, I have never found anything but a majority of support and kindness when asking questions online.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago
[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 12 points 7 months ago

that is not the same thing at all

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

skill issue

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

People still visit csamchan?

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

jQuery is honestly underrated though. Just about the only JavaScript framework I can tolerate because it's just abbreviated regular is

That said if I can help it I try to do the bare minimum on the client and have the server deal with the problems in a grown up language anyway

[-] Ultragigagigantic@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Don't ask a question. Make the title "Hey look at this cool way to do X" and do it wrong, and hope someone corrects you.
