“I’m right, and if anyone disagrees, it’s because they’re brainwashed”

There’s literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.

I’m a long time Java developer who was recently moved to a project written in Go. All I can say is: What. The. Fuck. I swear, the people who designed the syntax must have been trying to make every wrong decision possible on purpose as a joke. The only think I can think of is that they only made design decisions on the syntax while high on shrooms or something.

Like, why in the actual fuck does the capitalization of a function change the scope??? Who thought that was a good idea? It’s not intuitive AT ALL. Just have a public/private keyword.

It happens! I moderate [email protected], and recently [email protected] merged with us naturally.

That feeling when you’re not a recent CS grad anymore 😭

I never even heard of rust when I graduated in 2016.

If you have a good IDE, and Java has the best IDEs of any language I have used, then auto complete will take care of most of that for you.

So if I’m understanding correctly, if I created a Sublinks account, theoretically I would see all the same content, and I could use the same app, but it would be more optimized and have some additional features (on the web UI or if the app implemented those features)?

I think it is a valid point, though. How do GDPRs even work on Lemmy? Do you need to submit one to every instance that your instance is federated with? What about transitively federated instances? Sometimes when you delete something, the delete action doesn’t get federated. That’s kind of terrifying. If you post something personally identifying without realizing it, then try to delete it, you might not be able to.

Imo, it’s something to keep on mind when posting on Lemmy, but not a reason to not use it.

Confirmed, I can’t see that comment on my instance.

Thank you for the explanation. I admittedly am a bit cautious about this feature. But I can see how it can be a powerful tool to prevent bullying.

Hopefully we can trust our admins. But theoretically a bad actor could make an instance that federates with everyone and then takes this info and posts all the vote counts publicly for every post and every comment. And if we don’t know which instance is the one responsible, we wouldn’t be able to defederate from them to stop them from getting this info.

Not that this feature is the cause of that. Admins could already do this with a db query. And I don’t think there is any way around that without making votes completely uncrackable. Just kind of thinking out loud.

I feel like we have been saying that for 5+ years now.

I can’t wait for reddit’s next fuck up so we can get more folks over here!

Holy fuck. I thought this was a joke before I saw who was posting it.

Not sure what you mean, but I just meant that because I use about a quarter of the electricity in the winter while still generating about 90% as much electricity, I end up selling a ton of electricity back to the grid, building up credits that I can use for cloudy days in the spring.

I live relatively close to the equator (Texas), so it’s actually better for me in the winter because I don’t need to run the AC.

I had a spare computer that I installed Linux on a while back, but wasn’t using it for much at the time. If set up like that, all you would pay for is the electricity, which is very low if you’re only running Lemmy, probably only a couple of US dollars a month. You could probably run it on a raspberry pi, tbh.

Personally, I have solar panels that power my whole house. So it’s free for me.

I made my own instance for this reason.

Unfortunately, unless you have a good lawyer, they’re probably just going to ignore you anyway, even if they legally can’t.

Every time I peek into reddit, it’s just a dumpster fire of toxic comments screaming at each other with strawman arguments and reeing that videos are fake. It’s exhausting.

domain.tld/instances

So for example:

http://lemmy.world/instances

Scroll to the bottom and you’ll see them.

That would just be centralization again. Someone could attack that one site and bring the whole lemmyverse down.

But I wonder if that list could be federated?
