I think I’m going through some dumb “the internet was better when I was young” phase. Looking back on some of those proto-memes though… oooff.

I don’t have a side. My personal politics is a shit mix that trends left. I feel like a leper wherever I go when I’m not ready to commit 100% to what either group is saying. I was just frustrated when I wrote that, I apologize.

Sorry, it’s been a tough couple of weeks and I was just frustrated. Layoffs finally got to me in the aftermath of the actors strike (leaderships reasoning, not mine because I actually saw what was going on internally).

I can’t tell sometimes if I’m trading one echo chamber for another. Reality is just bizarre sometimes. I had someone arguing with me about code in a video game. I wrote the code almost 10 years ago. I know reddit was just as bad, if not worse for that “loudest persons right” way of commenting. Usually it gets mixed in with a dash of hive mentality.

I know those points are all loosely related, I’m exhausted after working insane hours through the year with no vacation just to be dumped before the holidays. I need to unplug for a week or two I think.

Edit: Wait, about the comment I replied to? Yeah my bad. I’ve been avoiding disagreeing with people directly after I got harassed several months ago. I was really happy with that person’s comment, I was just a miserable prick at the time. I had to leave some communities and almost nuked my account when another lemmy instance unleashed their bots: every post I would walk into would be targeted and voted down into oblivion. You’d lose all visibility within a short period of time.

I’m not sure if there’s been work done since to address this, but I totally understand if they’re still not ready to tackle it. They are a volunteer crew after all. I should follow the repo on Github. Maybe there’s some small stuff I could help out with while I’m looking for work.

Don’t waste your breath. I’m done with this platform. I hoped it would deliver what reddit couldn’t, but I was wrong.

I don’t think I’ll ever find another platform that encouraged such measured responses. Every thing is either team red or team blue. I just hate how much people are willing ignore so their side can win. Maybe that’s just all of the internet now. That’s fine, it’s just that it’s no longer for me.

^(Edit: I agree with this person for what it’s worth.)

Thanks for the context! Thought that was weird for a second.

I wish I was a good enough dev to write a swift keys replacement. There’s AnySoftKeyboard available, and they’re doing an amazing job with swipe input which I prefer, but there’s only so much one person can do.

He’s written a lot of fan fic style stuff that’s present in the library as I’m sure you’ve seen. It’s a good light read within the context of the game, but yeah. I don’t think it’s enough to carry a movie.

Edit: I’ve removed myself from almost all media besides lemmy, do we have an eta on the haunted chocolatier game? Just wondering. I want him to develop it on his own timeline so we get something he’s proud of.

Edit 2: Just saw that there’s no release date so he can work in peace without all the deadline pressure. I’m glad he’s setting boundaries. I feel like we’ll get a better game in the long run because of it.

This is a very sensible change. It’s an open secret that discord has been leveraged by hackers for quite some time. You can even search Github and find examples where exfiltration of data is done via discord. Discord is not a file host and should not be used as such. I’m just glad they’re doing it in such a way to minimize the impact on users and devs.

I feel bad for the pressure she must feel. She’s absolutely beautiful, and it’s almost like some weird dude had body dismorphia on her behalf. The edited photograph looks like a fucking cross eyed sex doll. There’s no way this is AI. This was some chud with a pirated copy of Adobe Photoshop.

They’re asking for a translation.

My bologna has a first name. It’s l-o-v-e-d.

I’ve been away, but I skim lemmy every now and then. I noticed the uptick in start trek shit posts. I actually really like them. I don’t really watch the show, but my friends are fans so I get some of the jokes. I even went to a con with my brother in law for his birthday. Besides something about Picards flute I had no clue what was happening, but the excitement was infectious.

I’ve been on the fringe of a few communities for quite some time, so I know how it feels to be constantly looking for a place you fit in. I’m glad you found yours op. Not going to say the thing, but all the best.
