- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 12 hours ago:
Okay? But why? StackOverflow’s moderation is inadequate as well.

- Comment on Lemmy: Beans 23 hours ago:
I had a typo. Reread it. It’s the “my (gender age)” part that annoys me. “My boyfriend” is a person, “me” is a person, but “my” is not a person.
- Comment on Lemmy: Beans 1 day ago:
Aside, but I hate that people say “my (F 21) boyfriend (M 53) prevents me” instead of “my boyfriend (M 53) prevent me (F 21)”
- Comment on Why do we have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash soaps? 1 day ago:
Shampoo cleans your scalp moreso than your hair. Conditioner makes your hair nicer moreso than your scalp. Both of them have unique needs because they’re on your hair rather than just your skin, which is where you use soap.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 day ago:
- Games should have some way to take notes in game.
- External wikis are great and I love them, but they aren’t an excuse for not explaining how your game works within your game. There needs to be good in game guides.
- All games need some way to save and quit. Looking at you, rogue likes. People have lives. That’s more important than protecting some weird form of honor by making the excuse that it’s to prevent save scumming.

Like Bluetooth and IoT before it.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 2 days ago:
It’s viable, StackExchange as a company is just shit. See: then never listening to meta, listening to random Twitter users more, and defaming their volunteer moderators.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 2 days ago:
Nobody here is suggesting you to use Yahoo Answers.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 3 days ago:
Like I said, I’m not talking about specific sites, I’m talking about moderation style.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 3 days ago:
My questions weren’t homework problems with 500 duplicates. Maybe that type of shit being the most common in the vote to close queue is why fuckfacerubberstamper can’t be bothered to actually think about what they’re closing as dupes.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 3 days ago:
Like Lemmy? The site we’re all using?
But no my point wasn’t about a specific site, it’s about the moderation approach. Do you really think there’s no middle ground in approach to moderation between Yahoo Answers and StackOverflow?
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 days ago:
Never said we shouldn’t be translating the names of countries, only that there is a reason to think we shouldn’t. Because the comment I was replying to said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.”
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 days ago:
Never said it was correct to not translate country names. Only that there is a reason to think they wouldn’t be.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 3 days ago:
You don’t think there’s any middle ground between the two? None whatsoever?
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 4 days ago:
The humans of StackOverflow have been pricks for so long. If they fixed that problem years ago they would have been in a great position with the advent of AI. They could’ve marketed themselves as a site for humans. But no, fuckfacepoweruser found an answer to a different question he believes answers your question so marked your question as a duplicate and fuckfacerubberstamper voted to close it in the queue without critically thinking about it.
- Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why 4 days ago:
I haven’t really dived deep on this but my gut feeling is because they linked to the erotic games. I looked into this a bit in the past, but I may be getting it mixed up with Google’s policies on Docs now that I’m thinking of it, but maybe they have similar policies. The gist was that they weren’t as concerned with hosting legal artistic erotic content as they were linking to it. Like they didn’t want their platform to be used in a way to sort of advertise porn. I’m actually pretty sure I’m thinking of Google Docs though. I was looking for a way to publish erotic stories and considered GitHub Pages as well as Google Docs so it sort of blends together.

You can still have mirrors of your stuff on GitHub and push there, just have your primary forge be a different place.

In theory you could make a bit that stores all of those things within git periodically. Maybe do something with git notes git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

Finally we can get into Eurovision!

Thanks, fixed
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 4 days ago:
But they specifically said “There’s no reason to expect them to be the same in different languages.” Which there absolutely IS a reason to expect that.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 4 days ago:
In Spanish it’s Estados Unidos which seems like a translation of the words.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 4 days ago:
No… I have a name. Someone talking to me in a different language doesn’t make my name different. It’s intuitive to think country names are the same.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 4 days ago:
In Spanish Germany is Alemánia. Just to add more confusion to this topic.
- Comment on Home electricity bills are skyrocketing. For data centers, not so much. 4 days ago:
In my naive view I don’t see why they wouldn’t just give less and less money until they’re effectively giving you none or even charging you for putting it back into the grid. It would then incenticize people to get battery banks and put it in during the night.
But again, naive view. Maybe I’m missing something obvious.

It doesn’t have a direction.
