You’re literally arguing ‘this has no uses and anyone who says otherwise is a meany’ what is anyone supposed to do but laugh at you?

We know, you want to make a ridiculous statement and for everyone pointing out you’re objectively wrong to be ignored.

It’s the level of thinking of a six year old.

Well I use it most days and it’s sped up my coding and documentation writing considerably.

You’re either too dumb to be able to use it or you’ve not used it because of some weird fear of new things, either way you’re not coming from a place where your opinion has any value on this topic.

Why do people praising a thing you’re saying is useless sound like someone listing it’s good points in an advert? Gee tough question, could it be that they’re essentially the same thing and the latter is explicitly designed to look like the former?

Of course if you’re going to dismiss something entirely then people who benefit from using it are going to give their opinion, that’s what this is - a place to give opinions and talk about stuff.

How else would anyone answer your question? You suggest that it has no use, people who use it regularly are of course going to point out the uses it has. And yes many aren’t going to bother they’re going to use the button that essentially says ‘this is balderdash I don’t agree’

I have found many things ai is brilliant at, as a coding assistant it really is a game changer and within five years you’ll be used to talking to your PC like they do in Star Trek and having it do all sorts of reality useful things that there are no options for in software made like we do now.

I feel like a significant amount of my friends would be caught by that too

‘fixed odd or even function for values 600 to 950, plus other stuff I forgot to commit earlier’

I think it depends what branch your local version of the repo is set to. If you’re already in master then it’ll push there, if you’re in a testing branch then you can push it straight to master instead by telling it to

I think you’re selling freedom short, yeah convenience and momentum are hard to beat but Lemmy is where the open source Devs are and the first adopters, I think we’re gonna go see a lot of interesting things emerge here which will draw a lot of users into trying it out - especially if all the other social media sites are closing their doors to people without accounts from viewing information.

What Lemmy needs is it’s own version of place, not the same thing but things that are fun and novel and community building. The basic stuff is still getting finalized but as things get established we’ll see plenty of tools made to help moderation, to enable new features and useful ways of interacting with information. Hopefully some fun games and toys too.

I’ve got a lot of work to do on my main project at the moment but I’ve also got a lot of ideas for Lemmy stuff I want to play with when I’ve got the time, I’m sure theres a lot of other people cooking up ideas and watching things develop and stabilize waiting for the right time.

I’ve had many long conversations with a gay Indian friend, his experiences really don’t match the rose tinted version of things you’re portraying.

And of course we don’t even need to go into the treatment of women everywhere but the middle class portions of the nose progressive cities, everyone is very well aware of the problems.

In India both Hindu and Sikh community’s have avid followers who’ve done homophobic attacks, they don’t get as much attention because of all the other violence they do such as against women

I’m just researching and working things out so far, will let you know if I get anything properly written up.

Discuss.online and slrpnk both good communities but issues with syncing

Yeah, people say we should use small instances to keep things spread out but two of the ones I tried have major posting issues that stop comments working, We really need to stress test and big squish before we really push it to everyone, some of the issues I’ve seen have been fixed and on general it’s very stable so I don’t think it’s got far to go

I think something we could do as a community is to make resources that help make understanding things happening here easier, like rapidly updated community guides to the available apps with screen shots showing features.

Really what we need is independent and community development of cool new things that you can’t get anywhere else, a real reason to actually come here over all the other similar choices - ideally things that corporate sites would avoid because they’re focusing on profit.

One tool I’m going to be working on is having an instance/community that makes it easy for people to work on collaborative design - ideally it’ll be a pipeline where idea get refined into design briefs then fact finding tasks split from that and eventually it all boils up into a series of implementation tasks, testing and documentation then finally actually gets turned into an open source product or a piece of creative commons media.

Barely a joke. It’s a weird elitist bullying gatekeeping thing, spreading dangerous misinformation to try and randomly hurt other people is a thing awful people find funny - like those jokes where they try to get kids and educationally disadvantaged people to mix bleachs and inhail the deadly gas, it’s basically just cruel psychopaths who enjoy hurting others

I get these are jokes but I really don’t find anything funny about it, it becomes a meme and then people start getting more creative and pushing it more and being more covert and people come up with other little japes then new Linux users get their shit destroyed and maybe important info gets lost or precious memories so they say Linux is a piece of shit and go back to windows.

It’s not even funny to start with so when it inevitably inspires people to be assholes and bullies that’s all we’ve achieved.

They probably could have used a Pico, certainly a zero instead of a 4

They also bent over backwards to help industrial buyers get them while flat out refusing to help content creators and Devs of open source projects that use the pi - it was really disappointing tbh

Still love them though but not as much as I used to.
