That may be, but I know my browsing history, even as I get older and older, and I am using StackOverflow hardly at all compared to ChatGPT which I am using almost a scary amount.
I know I am not the only developer, this is how things are going.
ChatGPT is a big, big part of it.
Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that’s particularly helpful as well.
I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It’s often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It’s like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.
He’s not, his whole account is ChatGPT generated answers.
this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.
How does this make him money exactly? lol
He is literally just killing off his website.
It’s a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.
I’m sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.
I think more options and user choice is a good thing.
If he keeps doing this people are just gonna switch to Mastodon lol
If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It’s 11 lines of code. It’s literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won’t link it here, but it’s coming.
edit: A few hours later, it’s up to 40 lines of code because of handling race conditions. It should work well under normal use now but if people scroll too fast it could cause problems loading two pages ahead instead of one. It’s obviously not ideal compared to an official implementation but it’s something at least, unless it gets officially implemented in Lemmy before my add-on gets approved. lol
I did that too (swapping out a complex codebase with a simpler new modern one), then I got laid off along with another dev and we got replaced by friends of our boss lmao
Although I do admit it’s nice my new job that I’m starting next week pays me nearly 30% more than my old job did along with a better title to match the level I was performing at my old job lol
Yet there are still so many people who deny climate change. It is pretty horrifying.
The CEO bragged about building the submarine out of used parts and said that regulations were boring. He sealed his fate long before it happened.
Yeah, I agree. I’m a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.
Yeah, I’ve heard of people using cron jobs to automatically clean activity older than 3 days.
I’m not sure what can be done about image staking up a lot of space, I imagine that’ll take up a ton of space after a while. Not sure how that could be cleaned up safely.
I wanna look into self-hosting my own Lemmy instance some time. Once I have more time to figure it out with my home network local server w/ public cloud VPS OpenVPN server setup (likely with Docker containers too) I’ll take a look into it. You’re right, it’ll likely be fun and right up my alley too.
That’s why I’m so glad to WFH, it saves both time and energy.
I wonder if Lemmy would be more popular or less popular if it had karma?
You’re not wrong. I usually ate mine at home and watched TV, it was pretty awesome lol
Though when I was older I started just having lunch in the classroom and then in high school I’d eat lunch at school with a couple friends.
The cool thing is you can just say “what a rip” or “what a ripoff” instead and it won’t have any negative effects
Yes, won’t somebody please think of the poor execs? Can you imagine only being able to afford one yacht? That’s practically living in poverty!
I have no idea.
