@Zergling_man wasn't there a full-text search project a few months ago that was taken down due to apocalyptic levels of butthurt from people suddenly not wanting their public posts to be public?
@nixCraft there definitely is such a thing as a viral fediverse post, virals happen via people sharing stuff with each other and centralized algorithms only amplify that at best.
You can also have content discovery on a decentralized platform, after all the data on public posts is public. Even better, you can have multiple independent algos so that you're not stuck with potentially dumb decisions of one.

No random open source application, I do not want to join your Discord channel for support.
There's this really cool technology called hypertext markup language, and if you use it for your documentation another piece of amazing technology called a search engine can help me find the answer I'm looking for
And the real magic is you only have to answer it once and the answer helps anyone. You don't have to answer the same question every day. This frees you up for more fun development

it's one of my favorite bugs in programming, when you accidentally write a loop that processes the first element of a list every time through the loop

The new ".zip" domain is being used almost solely for malware. Some of the clicks are very deceptive, even to technically knowledgeable people. See the attached image for an example.
You can block all zip domains with the following uBlock Origin rule:
||zip^
Tell everyone you know.
@thor ah yes, those. Much easier to put on a dog :D
@thor cats can push through any opening wide enough to fit their head, neck is thinner. Collars generally need to be clamped on neck, not pulled onto head since that would mean they can also be taken off by pulling the other way.

Do you have anything to hide? 😡“
Yes! I do!

@thor honestly looking at the world in nice weather and breathing in non-stale air is a reason all in itself, especially if you have a location like a nice lake or park to go to.
@thor that's a good assumption, but something not being unique to you doesn't mean it's common.
@thor this might be just a you thing, Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes are like a father to Christie's books (and a lot of crime fiction genre tropes overall).
@coolboymew one of the best things in games is stacking a shitton of buffs and conditions to release them in a big chain nuke. Dopamine-fountain combination of "just according to keikaku" and "monkey see big damage".
@Moon @matana @vriska @mrsaturday @zaitcev people aged 13-19 in 2016-2018 are already zoomers. Millennials might be the first generation to have the absolute stupidity of teenagers documented so thoroughly but the teen culture didn't yet devolve **that** much back then.
@lore at this point every time I hear about suspiciously bad performance of a simple piece of code I start suspecting branch prediction issues. What's the `unlikely` do and what happens if you remove it?
@thor yeah that's one of the problems with welfare. Making it not apply to people who don't have a job purely because of being assholes, super lazy, super picky, kleptomaniacs etc has the double benefit of pressuring them to change and not forcing honest working people to support them. Though of course the problem lies in deciding who deserves it and who doesn't, since it's near-impossible to sensibly implement as policy and awful when left to the judgement of officials.
