Disney could finalize the desecration of Star Wars’ undead corpse by making a reference to the antman-up-thanos’-butt meme in their next SW movie, seeing as they own the rights for both franchises. Or, (marginally) less perversely, they could bring up the thanos idea in a marvel picture and compare it to A New Hope - they already did something similar with referencing Empire Strikes Back in infinity war or endgame if I recall correctly.

Lemmy shows you a community’s posts in order — a big room really is a room with more people in it.

This is … wrong and misleading? The default sorting order for posts is “Active”. You can sort by “New” (as well as a whole bunch of other sorting methods) but it’s never been the only option. Maybe OP is on an instance who has set their default sorting order to “New”?

Furthermore, what is this “room” verbiage? Maybe it’s just an attempt at descriptive metaphor. To me, it comes off as mixing up Matrix rooms and Lemmy communities.

And then there’s the line

Which instance you’re on matters about as much as which community

Which (imo) misses how many instances, in practice, self-select who posts from them. I think there’s a degree to which these numbers reflect how much each instance’s userbase tends to get replies, but without more detail on what these uses are posting it’s a correlation at best and noise at worst.

Was not expecting Texas to be one of the two states.

Maybe if you could convince your big boss the zuck™ to pay out dividends to all employees, your subordinates would actually care about getting more work done. Just an idea…

But…going through something that traumatic…nothing would even come close to the severity of that trauma. My anxiety would be nothing compared to it. It might actually fix me.

This might not be the best analogy, but: imagine I have a broken finger and I start thinking that breaking my leg will help me ignore the pain from the broken finger. Maybe it actually would “help” ignore that pain in particular, but the end result is still an increase in pain and other health complications.

From your writing in this thread I get the impression that you are getting very desperate. I can only echo what others have said; please try to find a trained professional that can work on this with you. I don’t know what the situation is like for therapy wherever you live, but I would be a shocked if your current therapist wants to send you to an asylum. I think it is very unlikely that you will get “better” (whatever that means for you) if you try to put yourself through some of these experiences you are imagining.

To completely disregard my pain and suffering. To see and treat me like an object. To not even register me as a person. To see me as a target, weak and powerless, not a threat…

This might be something a professional dominatrix can help you safely experiment with - if you have the means to pay one, of course.

Please be careful. You may not believe me right now, but you are just as important and deserving of life as any one of us.

Bravo à lui d’être resté solide sur ses positions et d’avoir expliqué lucidement le contexte tel qu’il le voit.

I’m starting to think it’s time the AUR introduced namespacing packages by the maintainer’s AUR username. The single namespace was nice while it lasted, but it seems like we’re going to need to get packages based on who’s uploading them anyways…

I could have sworn that hexbear defederated from jlai.lu. there was a whole spat between our instances a while back.

Federation is still a work in progress IIRC.

But everyone can already selfhost their own instance if all they want is a web-facing git forge.

I have no hope for my car’s Android Auto or LG’s stupid website — but I choose to believe that everyday software will get better as a result of this frustration. We’re already seeing [acts of rebellion] against the current state of macOS and Windows, and I hope the trend will spread across the stack.

I was hopeful, until I clicked on “acts of rebellion” to see that he’s talking about omarchy…

Now, maybe omarchy has gotten much better in the 8 or so months since this critique was first posted?

Now people exchale their grape/cherry/whatever vape and the whole room gets to enjoy it /s

Not who you asked, but here’s a link to one party’s view (that starts by linking to something posted by another party): https://andrewkelley.me/post/my-thoughts-bun-rust-rewrite.html

the “AI engineer base in Japan” thing is so fuckin’ weird. has there been an account repeatedly posting that?

“regex” is short for “Regular Expression”, a type of program for matching characters in text. I haven’t read the actual code that uses the userRegexes list, but I think you’re safe to assume that it means the tesseract client was filtering your comments and/or posts.

Individual offices -> cubicles -> open space -> now this -> soon back to offices?

It’s absurdly hilarious how many “good practices” the LLM assistance wave has ushered (back) in, from proper code comments and documentation, to the notion that being able to think out loud without distracting your coworkers might actually be productive.

Nice title panel

Haven’t you heard? “React” content is the new meta (/s only half way).

Oh wow, I think this is the first time I’ve seen analognowhere referenced outside of the the fediverse community where pmjv posts their artwork.

I’m halfway through the logs; I’m finding them much more compelling than the initial story - something to do with the tone(s).

Thank you for writing/making this!

Without ever having actually played it, it reminds me of Riven
