Das Kind hat sein Smartphone fallen lassen und jetzt keine Möglichkeit, bei Kontrollen das Berliner Semesterticket zu zeigen, denn das gibt es nur digital. Dabei wäre ja einfach, einen Ausdruck zu ermöglichen, meinetwegen befristet.
Wüsste gern, wie oft das vorkommt, bei gut 200.000 Studierenden in Berlin.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

CEOs are having affairs?
I'm too burnt out to have an affair.
You know what would be really hawt right now? If someone would come read a book next to me while I nap on the couch.
Fantasies, man. Fantasies.
@tinker The book thingy sounds nice.

I'm not going to sign #HumanEmacs because I *want* discussions about LLMs effectiveness in particular with open weight models, for example.
You can't put the genie back in the bottle.
LLMs are here to stay. Ignoring their impact without any discussion as proposed on https://human-emacs.org/ is the wrong approach in my opinion. Blocking is not the best thing here, discussing the terms would be better.
If not, what's next? Block all people who use hardware where its vendor has some connections to unfair workforce policies? Block all #FOSS contributors whose electricity supplier as a certain amount of nuclear energy?
It's never black or white.
I think we've got enough experience with #cancelculture, over-stressed #policitcalcorrectness and similar movements already.
I acknowledge the good spirit behind it, I disagree on the chosen method.
YMMV.
@publicvoit Exakt auf den Punkt gebracht. Wer sich hinter strikten Bannern und moralischem Ausschluss versteckt, verweigert sich der realen Auseinandersetzung.
Genie und Flasche, die Technologie ist da, und sie zu ignorieren oder reflexartig zu verbieten, löst kein einziges Problem. Wo zieht man die Grenze? Wenn man konsequent sein will, müsste man bei Hardware, Lieferketten und Infrastruktur sofort den Stecker ziehen.
Statt Cancel Culture und ideologischem Purismus braucht es sachliche Debatten über Bedingungen, Open-Weight-Modelle und reale Handhabung. Völlig d’accord: YMMV.
i mean, just impeachment would've been okay with me... seems a little extreme
@molly0xfff Didn’t they have plans for a live execution on TV? 🤔
Any developer worth their salt will know that bugs in code arent typically obvious, and the severity of a programming mistake has literally no association with how much code relates to it.
Single-character bugs can be disasters.
You cannot reliably catch a single character being incorrect when glancing through code, especially code you didn't write, ESPECIALLY code you're unfamiliar with.
@ecn indeed
also, anyone who's ever used an assembly-level debugger on some program can easily tell how much easier it is to work with code you wrote (even if you wrote it in C or some other non-assembly language) compared to code someone else wrote

no it was before commercializaton, IPO crisis. it was when they started leaning on political/news content so much that any talk of politics that is easily misconstrued , i mean very easy to do, you get a ban. turns out political engagment, especially with russian bots increases traffic to the site. than 2023 happened, and then the ban purges happened, reddit is pretty much in self-destructive mode right now. the more they placate to the gop, conservative censorship, the smaller reddit gets as a platform for discussing anything.
I realized that I keep explaining what Bugsy is and how it works, so I figured it was time to document the whole thing. What started as a simple Sentry triager has grown into a fairly substantial project that now tirelessly serves the entire company, with many processes depending on it. So I decided to map it all out.
reactflow?
Even better would be to get a plumber to redo the drain pipe so that it isn’t at forehead height but that would be tricky.

one thing that annoys me a lot about chat services is that some of them do this thing where any unread message displays a red dot inside them, and it only meaningfully works if i'm only participating in really quiet communities
i wish there was a feature where i could set some kind of priority between different groups and channels, so that some of them show no dot at all, some show a lower-intensity gray dot, maybe some show a dot of a different color...
here's my idea, the user can set a different indicator type for each channel or community, it determines what icon is shown in the taskbar or the browser's tab bar if there are unread messages, if there's more than one, highest priority (closer to the bottom) wins
y'all can have it for free
