Hahaha. Love it.

Reminds me of this classic… https://www.eatmypaint.co.uk/comic/7-give-my-compliments-to-the-chef/

Yes! I came here to post, “a modern phone that fits in my hand”

I know the term enshitification, so maybe I’ve already read his stuff. I’m going to check it out more. Thanks!

Yeah. I introduced my wife to Reddit (she knew of it but didn’t use it until I kinda showed her how great it is (was)). Now her family and friends use it too. They all heard about the drama but didn’t seem to care or understand and they all still use Reddit.

“go down like Reddit did” … But did Reddit “go down”? It definitely lost users and content quality dropped, but still, everyone I talk to (that isn’t a total nerd like us lemmings) still uses Reddit and has no idea what Lemmy is.

If trump is nominated, I think the probability of trump being elected to the presidency is zero, or it will be zero when election day rolls around.

I said the same thing in 2016

Wow. Nasty! We had ours professionally done less than a year ago and I’m pretty sure it was expensive, so maybe I’ll look into DIY next time.

Salesforce e-commerce is horrendous.

Your interesting fields… AI, ML, Data Science, etc, seem amazing on paper and in the movies, but a) it takes an incredible amount of dedication to master and b) in the real world, it’s monotonous, repetitive and frustrating work.

Cybersecurity sounds like the matrix or the movie Hackers, but in real life is incredibly complex, technical, not “exciting” by any means.

The entire industry sounds incredible. But it’s a lot of work, takes a lot of dedication, and is more boring than you’d think.

I’d say get into front end web, but you said you don’t have any interest.v have you don’t react it similar front end web stuff? Maybe try it out?

I think the issue is that the entire industry is kind of over hyped and Hollywood-izd. It sounds cooler than it is. Try to get into something that sounds interesting and hope you enjoy it.

Is it DIY? This sounds like one of the things I’d rather hire a professional for.

Ahh, right. I vaguely recall this. Thanks

What’s up with Wyclef?

“I use 4 extensions … ublock, etc, etc”

I don’t understand the “it’s complicated” thing. Figuring out which instance to use was slightly confusing (I went with lemmy.world because it seemed to be the most popular at the time), but after that, it’s no more complicated than Reddit or any other social media site. Am I missing anything?

👍 thanks

I forget who and I’m too lazy to search, but a company just announced a recurring $10,000/month donation to Godot. A few others are donating too. So they do have some monetary support!

Aren’t we the richest nation in the world™?

I’ve never worked with it and don’t know in detail, but it lets you compile several languages into web based client/server code (basically, converting other languages into website code). Works with C, C++, C#, Go, Rust, Swift, etc)

WASM?
