jsrecovery··on “Attention assault” on Fandom
I don’t blame you - there has since been a remerge of content after the Vault forked, so I’ll say there still is valuable information to be found, (I am no longer involved) but the user experience straight up sucks.
jsrecovery··on “Attention assault” on Fandom
Former admin of the Fallout Wiki here, (The Vault/Nukapedia) - the Fandom takeover absolutely decimated the quality of information we worked so hard to curate over the years. For example, we had an explicit “no strategy” rule for our quest related articles. We wanted to provide enough information about the quests without suggesting any “optimal” ways to beat it. Fandom carelessly injected autoplaying videos on said articles with random streamers/youtubers showing you how to best beat the quest. That, coupled with the horrible takeover of styling and structure, I felt Fandom really signed a death warrant for something we were all proud of.

Haha this is true! During my alcoholism I visited the ER for an unrelated purpose and was “prescribed” a single warm can of Bud Light!

I’m so sorry to hear that. Yeah, stopping alcohol or benzodiazepine consumption completely after years is the equivalent of pushing the gas pedal in your brain all the way to the floor. Scary stuff. I think too there are many older “functioning” alcoholics who have drank daily for years and inadvertently set themselves on this path when they decide to just quit for one reason or the other.

I’ve been through this 3 times on my recovery journey. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. The first time resulted in two seizures because I was just trying to get over it at home. Resulted in getting 7 staples in the back of my head. It is ALWAYS worth going to a medically assisted detox facility, personal pride or potential costs be damned.

Thanks! I could absolutely see using something like Copilot to eliminate boilerplate when getting a project off the ground in a professional environment, but for what I intend to do now I’d really like to put in all the work, purely as a personal exercise

Thanks! I forget to mention I have done a lot of TS work in the past, but I should refresh none the less. I’ll check out Vercel
