Don’t worry Donnie. We’re all dying just a little bit more each day.

Life: It’s terminal.

How many of them are the “It’s not a religion, it’s a personal relationship with Jesus,” types?

Oh, I love that metaphor.

One of the primary reasons Reddit cited for its API rule changes was LLMs profiting off its data for free.

Its data? Seems to me that most of that “data” was actually generated by users. Which Reddit, in turn, profited off for free.

Only one punch? Letting them off easy, I see.

I tend to go with the “distract myself” method. Think about some song, movie, game, etc. Keeps the brain from ruminating on that shit. And usually can manage it long enough that the thought’s barely a vague memory afterwards.

Basically, the idea is: Don’t feed the demon.

Why wouldn’t they be? There’s a reason that during my last couple of interview, my brain latched on to the Galactic Mermaid song from Carole and Tuesday. (Content warning, should you look it up: copious swears.)

I have been unemployed and looking for work for almost a year and a half. I detect no falsehoods in this video.

Yeah. It’s got no abstraction between the UI and the implementation. You just want to manage code versions, but to use Git, you need to learn how to manage history graphs.

Go, Team Rebase!

And now we have the obligatory xkcd reference. 😁

Pretty certain it’s an intentional reference.

Procrastinator.

Okay, but seriously: “Thief”. Why reimplement it if it’s already available in the language?

Well, this screenshot is the mobile version. Tapping anywhere in a textbox should bring the focus and start typing. All having extra lines does is make it more likely that the starting insertion point is a line or two below the start.

Even on desktop, I’m not aware of any text box behavior where you need to click on the correct line to bring the focus to the box.

Doesn’t seem like that would be described as “expected” though. Unless they mean “expected because we don’t give a shit.”

I suppose there is a difference between “expected” and “intended”.

Why would anyone want that?

There could be something to say for both donating directly to Godot and trying to support Terraria in some form because you think they’re doing good.

It depends on how activist the Terraria devs are, though. If this donation is a one-of statement from them, supporting doesn’t make as much of a statement on your part.

Sounds like a “No Unity games on Game Pass” policy may be on the way.

Downturns in quality always take a bit of time to have an effect. Sites coast on momentum. Sometimes it takes a user a while before they decide the site just isn’t as interesting as before. Sometimes a user might be optimistic that the quality will return and stick it out. Eventually, those user numbers will see a bigger dip.

Of course, when it comes to corporations and finance, it seems all the power players ever care about are the short term. What gets them into next quarter. Most of them are going to be long gone and working on something else before the real damage kicks in.

So, yeah, you’re right. All spez cares about are the numbers. But unless they can pivot this whole enshittification process, those numbers are likely to look different in a few years. Though that only matters if you actually care about Reddit and not just making as much money as quickly as possible.

Talk about rent seeking behavior.
