It occurs to me that the solution might be to start referring to men as "wermen" again, and revert "men" to it's gender neutral roots. That also means we can have a bunch of other prefixes for other genders.

Languages are fun.

In high school, me and my fellow outcast friends made our own slang. The idea what to make it so mind numbingly cringe that even using our slang to mock us would be social suicide for the cool kids. I don't know if that last part worked, but we were pretty damn cringe.

I'd give examples, but it's all in Norwegian, and incredibly cringe.

This is why I think school and interviews are like a whole different universe from the one where actual work gets done.

I'm going to be super-mega-controversial here, and tell you all how I removed ads on YouTube:

YouTube Premium.

Yes, I realize it's not very common to pay for the services we use these days, but I watch enough YouTube that I though it'd be neat. It is. No ads, except the direct sponsors of the people I actually watch. I only wish that this would make them not also sell my data, and track the shit out me, and all that jazz. I'd like to be the customer, if you'd let me, Alphabet.

...well, I do that, and enjoy it, so I guess that's why I feel like an impostor that has my hobby for a job. "If they figure out how much I enjoy doing this, they'll cut my pay..."

There is a "Not from a Jedi" joke in here somewhere. I can feel it.

The comments are not for what, they are for why.

The documentation is a summary of the code, a quick guide to the software to more easily find your way to what you need to work with.

Are you saying that when you work with some random library, you skip their documentation and go directly to the source code? That's absurd. If you do it that way, you're wasting so much time!

"Water accused of being wet in lawsuit" next, I guess.

It's just some Sales Optimization Consultant trying to justify their existence. Leave them be, they have their own problems.

It sort of takes the sting out of the threat when I find the subject of the threat to be laughably unlikely anyway.

Threatening me with sending my soul to hell is like threatening me that an djinn will steal my XboX: I don't believe in djinn, and I don't own an XboX, so it's a moot point anyway.

I find it kinda odd that github.com/gorilla/websocket, which is deprecated and the repo is in archive mode, is still the most popular library for websockets.

Case in point: go.elara.ws/go-lemmy

I'm not saying this is inherently bad, I just wonder why that is.

I guess the most common last words are "How hard could it be?", but why is nobody rolling their own?

Crosslinking (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by demonen@lemmy.ml to c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

I have an account on lemmy.ml, as you can all see.

My partner has an account on lemmy.world

When I link a post, let's say this one I picked at random, it is a link to a specific post ID on lemmy.ml

If I send this to my partner, as I do with a lot of things we both enjoy, they will be able to read it, but not reply/respond, as they don't have a lemmy.ml account. The post ID for the same post is different via lemmy.world, obviously.

This post even originated on lemmy.world, sort of, as it's poster is from there.

We send each other links like this all the time, and on reddit or hacker news, that's not a problem. There can be only one HN, after all. Lemmy is not so monolithic, and it looks like this is a serious downside.

I can't reply to other instances than my "home instance", and I can't easily discover what the post ID for this post is on my home instance, so my interaction/"engagement" is probably going to be very low for things I didn't discover myself.

Am I missing some functionality here?

[Edit: I no English berry good.]

One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don't do anything, but we still crave them.

On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called "karma"

In moving on from Reddit, I'm burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.

How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?

Well, teeeeeechnically not, as there was no sexual interaction and no full nudity.

However, if someone is explaining how they're technically not comitting a felony, they should probably stop.
