Are the admins officially letting this community exist, or have they just not responded about this? I realize it'd probably only been on their radar for hours, and the community is only 4 days old. But if they're okay with this community, I'm going to be worried.

I hate it. I really enjoy programming, and don't enjoy social niceties. And I definitely don't enjoy someone looking over my shoulder all the time.

So that leads to 2 situations: I'm programming, but someone is looking over my shoulder and stopping me constantly (or doing nothing), or I'm watching someone else program and constantly frustrated that it's not me.

Even during an emergency I'm often better off just doing my thing solo, and the other person using their own methods to investigate and fix the problem. Chat is still available to share information and progress without it being a constant annoyance.

The only thing I think it's really good for is learning to program, and unless the people are the same level, it's probably only good for 1 of them.

I think this is a well-intentioned but horrible idea. I'd much rather have a benevolent dictator who is willing to listen to suggestions than someone who is controlled by whatever majority of users is voting today.

Next to the time (11h) I see a pencil icon that says when your post was created, and when it was modified.

I've used a few different flavors of Linux, and I now use a System76 with Pop OS for work, and I'm quite happy with it. I don't feel any need to change to anything else.

I had found another extension, but when I enabled it for all sites, it make my browser slower, so I removed it again. It also sometimes failed to detect the community link. I ended up using a bookmarklet instead. That way, it doesn't have to parse the page, and it can never fail to parse the page... It just rewrites the URL.

I like the color of the first one, but the second one has a lot of atmosphere that the first doesn't. Hopefully neither of them are final, or that's just a bad screenshot for the second one.

I'm not using an app, but rather the site directly on a PC. I've been pretty happy with the experience so far, and it's become something that I check regularly now. I'm looking forward to the communities becoming larger and having more content.

Of course, I'm also looking forward to the mobile experience improving for others, too.

It doesn't matter how often we tell people not to feed the trolls, there's always someone who feeds even the most obvious troll. :(
