I don’t know if it is lazy as much as it is a design choice - remember at one point Lemmy actually auto updated (which meant posts were pushed down while you were browsing) and it was an intentional design.

Well maybe if she had shown more interest in his pull requests, he wouldn’t be off forking other repos!

Unfortunately there’s still two small communities that have no presence on Lemmy for me, so I still occasionally visit reddit - but only in read only mode!

This is one of the most educational and entertaining reads on the internet, if you are into that kind of thing:

I am not so young but I have always seen my friends once a week for the better part of my adult life. Basically we always make an effort to organise things, sometimes weeks out, sometimes it’s completely impulsive (and they don’t always work out) - from a small breakfast catch up, or a big weekend away, and everything in between!

LAN parties (showing my age).

It depends where you live, but my go-to was 24 hr cafes and other food places, but there are also other activities like late night fishing, long drives (or rides), night photography, etc

If my router drops packets on the rug, should I rub their WAN port in it?

A tiny bit of sugar free cordial is my go to, mainly as it gives it a hint of flavour without diluting the bubbles too much!

I don’t think there is a single right or wrong answer but to play devils advocate making your CI tooling lightweight orchestration for your scripts that do the majority of the work means you lose the advantages of being able to easily add in third party tools that you want to integrate with your pipeline (quality, security, testing, reporting, auditing, artefact management, alerting, etc). It becomes more complex the more pipelines you are creating while maintaining a consistent set of tooling integrations.

Why waste time with CI when you can save on thousands of dev hours by limiting yourself to only one giant fuck off release every year!

I can’t imagine a reverse camera being a better alternative to looking out the front windscreen - sure it being a bit further forward then your seating position and wide angle might give it a bit extra visibility around close objects, but it definitely does not offset the advantage of a natural ~200 degree field of view - and that is before you move your eyes or swivel your head. This is much much more valuable particularly for faster moving objects (which are a greater problems).

That said I may be biased because my current vehicle has rear front and side cameras so I get the best of both worlds!

Safety - pure and simple. Visibility is much poorer in reverse an you are more likely to hit someone or something you can’t see - and there a lots less potential hazards like cars zooming past or an errant pedestrian (especially children) in an empty parking spot than there will be in the pathway / roadway when it comes time to leave.

You don’t have to stop using Reddit entirely to stick it to them.

Using Reddit a lot less? You are contributing to the overall drop in numbers

Using Reddit to protest? You are reminding others of the reasons which may draw others away and drop traffic over time

Using Reddit to let others know of the viable alternatives? Again you may draw even more people away if they find alternatives that they enjoy dropping traffic further

Not using Reddit for anything other than protest? You reduce the value of Reddit by not actually contributing any useful community content that draws people again damaging numbers.

I don’t necessarily agree, if one persons short term engagement results in five people’s long term disengagements then it’s a net gain and a good investment!

It doesn’t hurt to use these opportunities to remind people of the reasons to abandon Reddit (and of course of all the various alternatives that exist).

Offering an alternative and mostly unpopular view, there are lot of things that society should spend that may not always have a great financial return on investment but will contribute to the culture of society (sports, art, entertainment, history, etc).

That said I do think the Commonwealth Games is a massive cost sink during poor financial conditions and sports already gets a disproportionate amount of funding compared to the others so I don’t think this is necessarily a bad move!

Task failed successfully!

This is my favourite video about the colour brown! https://youtu.be/wh4aWZRtTwU

It’s one thing to remove a feature, but another thing to announce it with communication along the lines of “we will replace it with something later”. The third party API changes smelt the same “we are blocking access now but we will work out a subscription model later”.

Makes me wonder if they actually have any kind of well thought out strategy or it’s just a series of poorly thought out and poorly planned approaches to “make money”. It screams of a mismanagement of direction to me.
