aligns with President Donald Trump’s mission to “present a unified, professional voice in all communications”

emphasis mine

the press was scolded for its frequent use of “Roman characters” under “Jewish influence”

makes sense for a rotten fascist brain

It’s a social medium. It’s not the idea of it that’s shitty, it’s the prevalent platforms.

What’s Lemmy?

Is this European exceptionalism?

Let’s not push the myth here that over dependence on LLMs is the only source of bad code. In the past it’s almost always been management constraints, probably the case here, too.

It’s a subreddit mentioned in the article that is mostly used to claim moral superiority by constructing ridiculous fake stories. Its mods claim that they are starting to have trouble to distinguish genuine from generated responses, but this sub always sounded like one giant moralistic hivemind.

And just to be sure: It was a joke.

If a development leads to the downfall of r/AmITheAsshole, I’m all for it.

While the post might of course be generated, it’s a bit stupid that the use of dashes has become something of a (useless) shibboleth. It’s a valid typographical feature with distinct use cases and has been used for centuries. It’s fallen out of style lately, but it’s usage is quite in character for a 84 yo intellectual. The quote marks are also not weird, and if the post would have used bullet points instead of paragraphs for structure, you’d probably would have mentioned that, too.

Is the Rust backend mandatory?

There is also the advantage of an army of web devs who can build somewhat functional software for the desktop day one.

Electron is fine for what it does. It’s just that every problem was turned into a nail and Electron is the hammer.

no it doesn’t

Except the cake will be good. It‘s more like making the entire cake out of fondant.

It’s usually called the Web though, not http as only one of the technical details involved.

All the positive Steam reviews are from people who can’t believe the game has been finally released and say nothing about the actual game, except maybe that it’s not a broken mess.

its clearly pr

Yes, as I said, plan B. Do you expect the studio to say “ok fuck it, let’s close up” when they projected a huge loss of sales after Steam denied their release?

It would be an extremely risky strategy. The studio’s whole portfolio are offbeat shortforms (indeed one of the higher profile indie devs) and I don’t think getting banned from Steam and losing sales there was something they anticipated. Using this for publicity is plan B for damage control, never has been plan A.

please share your theory. also, why popularity matters.

Good you don’t have any.
