Maybe it also depends on the topic. But there are always gonna be annoying people everywhere you go in life. 🥲

About the only thing I ever go back for

Honestly, I miss some subs. But I just cut my losses. The usability and UI of the site went to shit. The toxicity was horrible. The site policies went to shit. No third party apps. No point.

I only come back to answer necrobumps and one time to update my own post that was a support question where I managed to figure out the answer. I don’t want to leave behind those forum posts like in XKCD where they have the same issue but don’t answer anything. 😅

a community of people competing to be the most right in every comment section

I think this depends highly on the type of community. (Although clearly I’m doing it to you right now. Sorry.)

Highly political topics and such are the worst, probably. But others where people come because of a shared interest, like a sport or food or animal or something, a hobby, I think tend to be more chill and mellow.

lol, this is a human trait, not a Reddit/Twitter/Lemmy “thing”.

HAAAAL!!

Sometimes I wish we could give app names aliases or suffixes something. Would be helpful when some apps have identical names, like “Weather”.

Oh, no no, I don’t mean the UI of the browser, I mean web platform features, like JavaScript APIs, JavaScript language features, and CSS features and such.

How do you “try” Kagi without subscribing or creating an account? Is that possible?

Can that continue to function if Firefox dies? Like, is it independent to where it will develop web platform features on its own?

I wish I could say the same. Web dev. 🫡 But at least I’m using Chromium, if that’s even slightly better.

It’s gotta be some kind of sheep brain activation; crowd following behavior. It can be very annoying sometimes.

Sometimes you’re just voicing a neutral opinion and it gets destroyed. And by neutral I mean it’s not controversial or anything, like racism, it could just be something not exactly everyone would agree with.

I wish people would use the down vote as Reddit once intended it to mean: off topic and not contributing to the discussion, or perhaps rude, etc. Not “I don’t agree with this”. You should explain why you don’t agree with something, or up vote a comment that already explains it.

Isn’t it? YouTube isn’t its own company?

Same. Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy. Both awesome. Sync is my main, on the free plan.

Let’s just leave it 😅 I’m happy pretending Boost doesn’t work so that I have no reason to go back to Reddit.

I named mine after Rocket League cars.

• Octane (main desktop)
• Breakout (laptop)
• Dominus (laptop; older, larger)

Fish syntax is still fairly ugly compared to most programming languages in my opinion.

subprocess.run(["fd", "-t", "d", "some_query"])

vs

fd -t d some_query

Which is cleaner? Not to mention if you want to take the output from the command and pipe it into another one.

It’s not about folks with weird opinions or otherwise, it’s about use cases. 🙂 I don’t think python is any more “natural” than most other imperative languages.

Fish is probably even more natural, actually, due to it being more high level and the legibility of the script is basically dependent on the naming of the commands and options and variables used within it, rather than something else, just like python. They probably have similarly legible keywords. Fish I imagine has fewer, which is a good thing for legibility. A script does a lot more with a lot less, due to the commands themselves doing so much behind the scenes. There’s a lot more boilerplate to a “proper” programming language than a scripting language.

But if you want to do something that python is better suited for, like advanced data processing or number crunching, or writing a whole application, then I would say that would be the better choice. It’s not about preference for me when it comes to python vs fish, it’s about the right tool for the job. But if we’re talking about bash vs fish, then I’m picking fish purely by preference. 👍

Happy adventuring! ✨

Sure, fair point. 👍

I’d feel like such a target, to be honest. At least if I was living in politically-volatile America right now.

I imagine 😅
