What a reasonable and mature response.

My baby doesn’t cry as much as that dickhead. One would have thought having more money than god would mean plenty of time to do fun stuff rather than whining on the internet like a spoiled teenager.

I had a dev add a load of unit tests that mocked values and then tested for the mocked values. I mean… They passed…

Is this why so many of these fuckheads are keen on LLMs? They’re great at vomiting out reams of code.

All that lead didn’t do him any harm, after all.

They took out H264 hardware support?

Old racist xenophobe says something racist and xenophobic. Colour me shocked.

Burn a bit of fuel as a treat?

It feels like the only long term bets being made are for more cash. We have money. What we need is science, culture, and fucking HOPE.

We’re still making new dino juice burners? Come the fuck on.

GET FUCKED, YOU REGRESSIVE BUSYBODIES.

(I couldn’t think of a polite way to put it)

The unwillingness to share is a massive issue in Britain. We see it with drivers constantly - any change to make anywhere more accessible to other people is entirely unacceptable.

Removing third places for children is fucking evil. I was up on Anglesey last week and on a Friday night where did we encounter teenage children (12 - 15) hanging out? In front of ASDA.

My gods, that’s bleak.

I’m reminded of the riot police taping ball bearings to flashbangs during the Ukrainian Revolution

I do something like this with left over chicken roast dinners. Delicious.

I hate the notion that fringe lunatics have opinions that are just as valuable as anyone else’s. Push that fucking Overton Window back to somewhere sane. We do need people shutting these disruptive idiots down. The answer is not just to act like they’re not there.

Has that approach worked on any bully ever?

If someone shows up at a party and starts shit the answer isn’t to expect the other partygoers to put in earplugs.

Single serving friends. I really don’t like it.

I guess the problem was and always is, when there’s too many people, it ruins things.

This is the thing when people talk about the Fediverse’s traffic compared to Reddit. To me it’s very much a feature. I don’t think trying to get everyone and their dog on the same platform is a particularly good idea!

Precisely! It’s not half bad for that but the way people use it does my head in 😂

Yeah, I get a bit of it through Mastodon and I’ve been to a meetup there which was delightful (Jeff Minter bought me fish & chips!). I think a bit more emphasis on user profiles (bigger avatars, signatures, stuff like that) would help a lot.

I’ve run forums and been part of them. At the moment I don’t really have time but I expect I will again in future. I keep using stuff like Lemmy but it just doesn’t make my brain happy like forums did.

The asynchronous nature of them helped a great deal. Here I feel like threads have a lifespan of a day or two at most. I don’t want to have to engage immediately in order to take part.

I also don’t like the whole upvote/downvote thing. I’m good at it but it colours every interaction in a way I find deeply problematic.
