  Where’d all the comments go

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Hetzner maintenance] Expected lemm.ee downtime when this post is 13 hours old.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True a few minutes for one host but the way it was phrased sounds like the entire thing is going down for aa significant period of time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Hetzner maintenance] Expected lemm.ee downtime when this post is 13 hours old.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been meaning to get a hetzner server, they seem pretty good overall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Hetzner maintenance] Expected lemm.ee downtime when this post is 13 hours old.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of web hosting service needs to entirely shut down to do maintenance? Surely they could do a gradual rollout once they’d found a solution to the issue

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe just passing through external images is the way to go, it’s always the one I opt for it I can

  Hosting those images is gonna get expensive and that kinda sucks for a donation run platform when that money could be far better spent elsewhere

  I think also using external image sources is more in line with the idea of decentralisation, Lemmy isn’t an image host it’s a link aggregator and forum - I believe most image hosting sites will be far better at loading images quickly than Lemmy’s implementation could ever be

  I don’t think clientside anticheat is a good solution by any means.

  Built in multiplayer cheats? Isn’t that just pay to win?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people misunderstood my comment, I meant I think the ddosers and the cheaters are more or less the same group. Don’t imagine the majority of people in the Linux community would think that’s a good way to get rockstar to listen

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheating is absolutely not the same issue as piracy though, one is people wanting an unearned power trip over others and one is the service issue piracy is

  You’re not gonna convince cheaters to stop cheating by offering them a better experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure there’s not a valid reason for players to be able to spawn giant Ferris wheels in people’s garages, that seems like a fairly easy one to test for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m upset they nuked Linux support, my PC is Linux and have a steam deck

  I’m still not going to fucking ddos them for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re kinda proving rockstar’s point, I am fairly sure the venn diagram of “protesters” and cheaters is more or less a circle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z

  If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone they’re not going to tell you a filepath because that’s not how people use smartphones. I probably couldn’t tell you where photos are stored physically on my phone without going out of my way to find that info

  Also Google photos is a valid answer to that question because the file is saved in Google photos, just because it’s cloud storage doesn’t make it not storage. In that case local storage is basically just a cache anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a conscious decision though I said someone who doesn’t know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a pretty good indicator. If you spend all day working with computers chances are you’ll be able to type quickly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure someone who doesn’t know to plug their GPU in is probably not running Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We didn’t have specific typing class but we had IT in both primary and secondary, at least late gen z got plenty of computer time in school and most I know in my generation are decent typists at least

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man look at millennials turning into boomers at record pace

  “back in my day we did things properly, now all these damn kids… etc etc”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You really had a hard time deciding on pronouns didn’t you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly what is with the comrade/them shit they do about? I thought it was ironic like they were making fun of neopronouns or they were the 4chan people who popularised them in the first place

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every single person I’ve seen defending it has been a lemmy.ml user which from my understanding is not too dissimilar from hexbears

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that without fail every single person in this thread defending hexbears is from ml with the same pronoun tag format every single hexbears seems to have

  Almost like they’re hexbear alts or something

  But then what will my dog get?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking, and/or doing a similar thing in lua as an nvim plugin

  That said I’m not sure if neovim would support something like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My plan is not to have multiple files at all, or at least if there is a second one have it be temporary

  The problem with the approach of having an intermediary format is I need to create the intermediate format, and given yaml starts for yet another markup language that doesn’t seem like a good idea (also a ton of effort to reinvent the wheel)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can usually tell when it’s obviously bullshitting me and verify it if it’s not. You can often get it to correct itself if you call it out

  (This was the first time I’ve seen it incorrectly “corrected” itsself)

  I think I did a quick search but it seemed so strange to me I just wrote it off straight away

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of problems? I’m unfamiliar with anchors in yaml

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a terrible idea to add bits into the JSON but it makes it much harder to program, going for a quick and easy fix here rather than writing my own parser

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously? Chatgpt told me that once and I thought it was just hallucinating

  Problem is it’s for configuration of other services I didn’t write, I would just use JSON in the first place if I were defining the schema

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Comments are an issue I’d have to think about. Would prebuilt libraries for importing/exporting data from/to these languages not handle the multiline strings for me?

  What do anchors do in yaml I’ve never heard of them before

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sanity checking an idea for editing yaml without wanting to throw my laptop out the window⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m using neovim. It doesn’t magically solve my problems with yaml though
