  There’s probably a correlation between people who are aware enough of reddit’s practices and policies to want to switch to Lemmy and people who are engaged in or by political discussion.

  I booked a flight recently, the translation engine was obviously having issues so instead of giving helpful labels for form fields it was stuff like: “{{ name.first }}”, which I could figure out for the most part, but then on submission I got an error with no description at all. I opened the dev tools and resubmitted the form to find the API response which gave me the actual error. 2 pages previously a form field hadn’t been set correctly by the web page (it was a drop-down, I selected an option, the error said it was null). I managed to force the field to populate properly and hey presto, submission works. Ridiculous.

  I can’t even beat regular-length war. Damn snake lady and her BS action economy…

  Only heard a couple people talk about it online (that I trust to be reasonable) and they basically said it was fine but didn’t blow them away. And that’s fine but it makes for boring “cOnTeNt”.

  Yeah this is basically the argument for universal basic income, on top of eliminating poverty.

  I’m all for supporting low-to-middle incomes but it’s still a huge investment for those not in (or just outside) that bracket. I can’t spend 10k now to see the return in 20 years, assuming the rates stay decent. It’s not practical.

  Ah yes, it’s the immigrants’ fault that education has been underfunded for years and teaching is such a woefully underpaid career. Definitely the immigrants’ fault. No no don’t look at the last 14 years of Tory rule that included austerity!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill 2 remake's narrative designer thinks one of the advantages to horror is that it's cheaper⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it certainly is a hell of a lot cheaper if you’re copying an existing game scene for scene…

  The self-contained electron app works better for most people I think.
