15 mph is plenty fast enough to belong in the bike lane. You’re good bro.

I guess I just don’t really know what feature-rich means in this context but being proprietary, not fully cross platform, and banned on most private trackers seems like huge downsides for power users compared to customization, built in search, and integrated chat.

I get this chart probably not made for people like me in mind though.

Yeah, seems weird that simple “it downloads torrents” client gets a D. It gets the job done, is easy to figure out, and doesnt fuck about with features I would never touch. Maybe thats not enough for a power user but for me its exactly what I want.

(but then why is Tixati in B, seems to have mostly downsides?)

If you don’t hate a programming language you simply haven’t used it enough or are delusional. Every language sucks in its own special way, js ain’t special.

A given programming language often has limitations which are largely different than the limitations from others. This means that different languages are often used on different kinds of problems. Want something fast, use C. Want to write something quickly, use python. Want it to run on just about anything, use Java. And so on.

So why don’t we make one ultimate one or a few that fulfill all needs? Well, partially because we haven’t figured out how to do that, but also it’s really easy to learn yet another language once your understand how they work. I can write in python, js, c, c++, c#, Java, kotlin, rust, perl, ruby, php, forth, lisp, and I could keep on going for quite a while. The underlying concepts are largely the same and so picking up a new language is no big deal (though being good at it is a bigger deal). We have so many because ultimately it just doesn’t really matter that we have so many.

You are in a “bitch about reddit” community complaining about people bitching about reddit. Bruh, this is why this place was created, to bitch about reddit.

Your second point is valid, also this feature is to prevent spam from newly created accounts so why is this worthy to even complain about? New accounts shouldn’t be trusted as much as well established accounts, and it’s generally not that difficult to get enough karma just by commenting. For humans it does not pose that big of a barrier to entry, for bots it poses some.

Who else would post such stuff? Regular users, other mods? If a sub has no mods the admins have to step in. So this distinction you are making serves no purpose.

This bot account is actually making recent posts, why the fuck is there a pic of these months old one?

Wow, they really went all in alienating their user base.

What the fuck actually happened behind the scenes to cause all this? Like I get that some upper leadership is probably trying to cash out or something, but why? What is the motivation? What changed all of a sudden to cause this?

Final fantasy 7. But for a different reason. I tried playing that game many times wayyy after it’s release but I just couldn’t get into it. But I got really big into final fantasy 6 and I got really big into other JRPGs, so it wasn’t that the gameplay was bad just that the 3d graphic hasn’t aged well. But I also played some pretty crusty PlayStation 1 games back in the day, so it’s not like if I didn’t play it at the right time I wouldn’t have loved it. But just cuz I didn’t play it around release, cuz I didn’t know about it I was a kid, kind of missed out on an entire thing.

I like the remake but, I don’t think it’s the same.

I don’t have quite the experience with 16 but era but you still found this in 3D games. I was quite surprised and also quite enjoyed when Spyro 3 had top down shoot em up sections with sparx. And the first person shooter section too along with all the weird and wacky things they tried to spice up the gameplay from 2 (skateboarding dragons? more likely then you would think).

I have been going back to tell people about alternatives like Lemmy. It’s weird, if you just visit surface level it looks just about the same but looking more closely things feel off. Things feel a little bit more stagnant and it seems that less content is being generated. Bigger subs that have made efforts to protest seem to be more missing from popular, but others are pretending nothing is wrong and largely are unchanged.

That being said my front page is completely ruined. Like half the subs I was part of have gone quiet or are full of protest posts so it’s very noticable.
