emptiestplace,

Agree. Anyone who expresses opinions or experiences so confidently/authoritatively may be more closely aligned with the problem than its solution.

emptiestplace,

It seems like you are implying this is an obvious optimization, regardless of context. Why do we not care what’s going on with b?

emptiestplace,

Do you ever have unexpected human visitors?

emptiestplace,

What you just wrote would be a red flag for me.

emptiestplace,

Often. :(

I think this may have even been done with a major Attenborough documentary, which is …

emptiestplace,

Imagine the outrage, though… exceptionalism only works in one direction.

emptiestplace,

You’re right, we probably should’ve noticed sooner.

emptiestplace,

and then Bram died :(

emptiestplace,

Yeah, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. People talk about “when Linus dies”, and obviously that will be devastating, but in my mind Bram just was. I wish I’d made a point of meeting him, or at least sending him an email to say thanks. Not for vim specifically, though I will probably use it until my fingers quit working. As with countess others, Bram inspired me to learn about ICCF Holland, and from there I had the privilege of supporting a child in Uganda through school. That’s what I’d want to thank him for. And vim.

Signal leaked random contacts to me! (feddit.de)

When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place....

emptiestplace,

Why is this being downvoted?

emptiestplace,

Privacy aside, but just for a second - if we don’t hold ourselves to a higher standard, our standard will just be lower. That’s all that will happen.

emptiestplace,

Agree, but I wasn’t talking about privacy.

emptiestplace,

No worries, it seems like you understand perfectly - I was just reflecting on the downvotes above.

I like it here because the people often seem real, and the voting generally seems (to me, anyway) to follow more of a meritocratic pattern than whatever the fuck has been going on at the other place for the last ten or more years.

We should probably try to really understand these differences so we might get better at designing communities that are actually sustainable. Maybe I am just getting old - I’m tired of starting over, I’m tired of watching great communities self-destruct.

emptiestplace,

There is an ‘s’ in Microsoft, friend. It’s the one shaped like a ssssnake.

emptiestplace,

Do you think it would still be worthwhile if I just did one at a time?
