To quote you from another thread in this discussion:

> I've often found that people who are in the frontend don't properly learn CSS and just hack it together. That was me too for a long while which is why I hated it. Then I started learning it from first principles and it makes a lot of sense. Now I can build whatever I need in plain CSS classes.

So sometimes people just... misunderstand or use the tool wrong?

I would log for this to work but these bots always have 0 posts in their timelines.

There is the notable difference in the speed and scale at which a computer can be trained. The analogy doesn't really hold up in my opinion.

For window management and tiling, I think Rectangle is better than most of the alternatives I've used. And its OSS https://rectangleapp.com/

> But the real question they were asking was: "How can I add value? How can I show that I still belong here? How can I make myself a critical part of the team at Zapier during this time when I can't do the things I was initially hired to do?"

What? Maybe what they were asking was just "do I need to start looking for an another source of income". Why dress it up in weird corpo-speak?

I don't know what y'all are searching for but DDG works for me pretty consistently.

> "Tweets" are much longer, so it no longer feels like microblogging. Sensitive content feels even dumber, I don't want to click "Read more" in order to view a tweet like it was some kind of a ad-bait blog post.

While messages can be longer, IME they tend to be about Tweet length.

> And I have no idea if I chose the right Mastodon instance with the right hall admins that won't read my private messages and ban me for having the wrong opinion.

Valid. But I'm not sure this is much different at Twitter. And at least with Mastodon, you can leave and take your data with you. If you're concerned about this, you have the option of hosting yourself. I know a lot of people rankle at that suggestion but Twitter doesn't even give you that option.

Right? I'm actually interested in hearing the counter argument but unfortunately, it wasn't provided.

If I buy a game and a company effectively breaks it by turning off my ability to play it, is that not theft?

> I find it amusing that, at present, ChatGPT seems to be lousy at mathematical-type reasoning while being very good at natural language use.

All this time developers have been freaking out about ChatGPT taking their jobs when it's really politicians that should be nervous!

As a professional developer, this recent news is really depressing. My livelihood appears set to evaporate.

...and which side would that be?

Why use this instead of Matrix?

I hope this remains a "myth" for you. I can assure you that it can be quite painful to deal with and take a long time to remedy.

Whenever I tell people that I don't like to use Twitter I often hear that I'm just using it wrong. On the other hand, I've been really enjoying my time with Fosstodon.

Fedilab has been pretty nice to use

As someone that recently set up a Matrix server, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Here's a CSPAN video from 8 months ago of Biden telling a reporter that if Russia invades Ukraine the US will "put and end to" the nord stream pipeline.

The more I use Matrix and Element, the more convinced that its the way to go. The ability to see lf-host, e2e encryption, optional federation... And if you use Element you get threads, audio/video calls, etc. Apart from name recognition, what does Matrix not have that all of these other apps have?

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people get into the habit of leaving code reviews with only suggestions like variable name changes. It's not that I'm resistant to changing things like that but I have several colleagues that seem to only ever make suggestions like that and it seems very performative to me.

I can also offer one: "I have a conflict at ${standup time} and will not be able to attend"

I wrote a very similar tool that optionally uses FZF for auto complete: https://codeberg.org/atomdmac/gosh

Check out Hero Kids. Super simple mechanics that still have the general feel of D&D. In my experience younger kids are way more interested in narrative than in combat though so I would lean into that aspect of it.

Savage Worlds is my personal favorite. Its not exactly rules-light but it is fairly "a-la-carte". You really only need to learn the basics to play but there are a ton of subsystems you can employ if you want to.

Another great one is The Black Hack which is much more rules light and in the DCC vein.

The solutions everyone is putting forward in this thread essentially boil down to "stop complaining that your stuff has been designed to stop working and buy more stuff". That doesnt seem... suboptimal to y'all?

ive tried several of these and they havent been reliable for me. Lots of cutting out, crackling, etc

We just use Slack DMs to propose a huddle when appropriate. If I cant talk immediately, I can propose a time frame ("give me 5 or so"). This article seems super over-engineered to me.

Ive used GQL on several projects for work and its been _OK_ to work with but not really worth the hassle in our cases. It ended up costing us lots of time to onboard new devs and hasnt given is much in return aside from type safety between the front and back ends. Im sure there are good use cases for GQL but I have not personally run into them.

The US government is a menace so the American people have no reason to feel threatened by a foriegn power? Am I understanding your argument correctly?
