Just your normal everyday casual software dev. Nothing to see here.

People can share differing opinions without immediately being on the reverse side. Avoid looking at things as black and white. You can like both waffles and pancakes, just like you can hate both waffles and pancakes.

been trying to lower my social presence on services as of late, may go inactive randomly as a result.

  • Once you graduate they won’t undo it. That paperwork is moreorless Final.

    My grandfather had that happen with his masters degree, they never scheduled him one of the required math courses for his degree(he always went through the advisors office to schedule), and had told him he was all set to apply for graduation, so he did and they just blindly signed off on it. It wasn’t found out till after everything was finalized but they basically said “yea that’s on us, enjoy the degree”


  • I play by challenge and double down/jump in rules.

    Challenge rule: if the person plays a wild and the next player decides to challenge it, the person being challenged shows their hand to the next person in line, and if there was another card that could have been played instead, The person who played the card has to either draw two cards, or if it was a wild draw four, they draw the cards instead. However they were wrong, then they draw the penalty cards (so if it was a draw 4 they draw 6, and a standard wild they draw 2)

    stacking/double down/jump in: If any player has a card that is identical to the current revealed card, they can jump in, and play that card as long as the next player has not started playing their turn. When a player jumps in, the turn order starts as if they had just had a turn, so it would be the next person from their position. If the card was a card that required a player to draw, the effect of the original card is cancelled, unless the player jumping in was the player that would have received the cards, in which case the effect is stacked and given to the next player(so a draw 4 becomes a draw 8), This effect can continuously be stacked as long as someone else doesn’t jump in or the person doesn’t have an identical card to continue stacking.


  • Very poorly.

    mod logs Imo shouldn’t be used as an accurate source of current information because they very commonly will be desynced/not up to date. But it seems to be by an instance by instance basis, and sometimes even a community by community.

    what is supposed to happen is a mod action is performed and then logged. And then instances can then see that action, but it desyncs constantly

    as you’ve experienced firsthand, it can be quite useless at times, especially if you’re looking for information that was performed somewhat recently with somewhat recent being within the last couple days.




  • I firmly agree with everything you said there, and I want to add that if the main reasoning for wanting to remove the rule is “fuck Reddit” , then that means that this concept itself is a picture example of a mildly infuriating post.

    And by that I mean, It’s mildly infuriating when someone just blanket decides that because they hate something, that everything about that thing is bad and nobody else should be able to see it. It’s almost never a black and white concept.


  • Personally, if it’s organic, and by that I mean not automated, and someone went to Reddit, saw the post, and then reposted it Here, I don’t have any issue with that.

    I don’t use Reddit, so any mildly infuriating post that gets posted from there to here is a post that I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.

    As long as I’m not forced to go to Reddit to interact with it, which so far out of what I’ve seen in this community I haven’t had to because it’s usually the picture and the post description lemmy side as well so I have no big issue with it

    Just because Reddit is a shit site, and I don’t like it, doesn’t mean that all content on the site isn’t worth anything, and if it’s something that’s cool or entertaining, and someone wants to bring it here, I’m all for it.




  • This… People keep dreaming of reddit crashing and burning or going under but, realistically if that did happen a good portion of the existing userbase will filter into the fediverse somewhere, and thats a lot of inorganic growth. Currently there are a handful of popular topics, and some niche topics. Yes there are also reddit like mannerisms but, when people slowly filter in, the room can be read and the existing culture remains, when a mass intake happens (like what happend with the API debacle) the influx is faster than the adoption and the culture comes with it.

    my aunt used to seek out parking garages that either were proactive at ticketing vehicles that were sticking way out like that, or had a lowered roof at the front to prevent larger vehicles in the first place. She said she was surprised that they existed but said it made actually navigating it so much easier.

    I can defo understand that, it’s hard enough parking as it is, and thats without a vehicle taking up half the roadway as well.



  • I don’t know how it is now, but I know a few years ago if Roku was pre-installed on the TCLs, they would be required to connect to the internet in order to even set it up because they required a Roku account in order to operate.

    We had issues setting up demo units for it because our demo broadcast used a unified source that was via HDMI and we couldn’t get the TV to broadcast a HDMI signal without setting up a Roku account.

    We ended up just not setting those TVs up, and when customers would ask to see how it looked, we’d say unfortunately we don’t have the capability of showing you.

    Nobody was about to sign up to Roku using a store account and then have to deal with juggling the passwords just to use a display TV.
