No. They’ll just name an entire lineup of the worlds biggest computers after your daughter.

“I archived them all Padme. They’re gone…every single one of them. And not just the minor tickets.”

I want to call out a few QoL things here that will help lemmy:

• There are a lot of read-the-headline-not-the-article commenters which is natural in an aggregation feed of links; there are numerous posts a day where people rewrite the news’ headlines to fit their agenda where the actual article and articles headline doesn’t reflect ANY of what they’re suggesting. if you run these sub lemmies for news on your server, I encourage you to use a bot or enforce rules for news that simply scrapes the title out of the link. Otherwise people will post news links that lead to a real source but have a false headline.
• There is a staggering amount of people pushing for oddities like child porn acceptance and I keep seeing it. Unless an entire server is compromised, reach out to the mods and ask to get subs cleaned up. Give moderators the benefit of the doubt and a chance to act without breaking federation completely. Its important Lemmy moderates content but also communicates well amongst each other when something is going wrong.

For sure but it also depends on how deep your wallets are to invest in that. Whether that means literal compensation or just your time.

Write code to test your code then repl build and run it anyways and smoketest it to see if it actually works

Sounds like activities for people who don’t have real work to do. These tech layoffs cut deep because there was so much fluff in the industry. I sort of blame these companies that marketed devops too hard and oversold overcomplicated solutions, but it’s also the fault of the tech leads advising managers.

I don’t think GitHub is social enough or the right tool to address bugs, talk about issues, or completely missing - ask for expertise. It’s not even democratic enough and done in such a way that makes what to work on clear at times.

Some code is still more art than work or science but still there is a notion that maybe if there was a better tool than GitHub there would be no need for a discord.

TLDR: I’m still very suspicious of how that is quantified - “leading to an overall better product”.

Who quantifies that and how, on a case by case basis, especially in the form of Chromebooks or phones for revenant, popular examples?

Let’s say it was a laptop: I can see issues with lithium batteries perhaps reaching a cycle count that lead them to be dangerous. Wouldn’t that mean though you should produce a good that has replaceable batteries? Is the battery designed in such a manner on purpose?

Businesses with shareholders that live quarter to quarterly profit are the issue. There is no authoritarian legislator that reallocates resources like China did the last few years, for example, whether you like it or not.

The US relies on legislation to be passed to mandate the changes or prohibit a device from being built a certain way. That legislation can be lobbied for loopholes, have various people in power also own percentages of the companies, etc. Whether you agree with it or not, there are many checks and balances and simultaneously a lack thereof.

I went and deactivated my twitter accounts today. I got Lemmy and when I do my own servers via my own app, I’ll enjoy a twitter alternative again. Edit: Im saying this because my mind went to action not bitching. I think the X rebrand is like a sign of the times and the official “okay twitters dead” moment.

To be honest I noticed a drop in quality of code generation via prompt by ChatGPT.

Still useful. Especially for boilerplate nonsense getting projects started. But it’s ability to understand complexities in code dropped drastically.
