I have no idea.

You sure about that? https://i.imgur.com/cfh6BiV.png lol

Google has more resources than Mozilla, and Chrome has long been the most popular browser so it’s not surprising others would want a piece of that pie.

This is really cute lol

I love how ShittyMorph will live on forever no matter what, even if it’s an entirely different website lol

I wouldn’t on a laptop at all FWIW, need my 24" 1080p monitor for that.

My old work laptop had an integrated cover, my new work laptop just doesn’t lol

That’s a ChatGPT generated answer 😭

Is it bad that I use ChatGPT enough to to be able to recognize that’s a ChatGPT generated answer?

Honestly those reasons aren’t the main reason why they went with the fediverse. For communism, it’s because decentralization means that companies can’t own the technology - by design. The meme “you have no power here” applies. For trans people, I believe it’s because they can have their own community that they truly own, and decide who they can link with through federation/defederation and being able to decide who can participate rather than having to put up with a company making those decisions.

If you’re gonna have an account dedicated to ChatGPT-generated answers, at least have it do something cool like a catgirl maid typing style.

What prevents Google from lying about how their algorithms work, though? How could it actually be verified? There’s no way it could just be as simple as they give their word and suddenly that’s good enough for a court ruling?

So wait, is Google only suggesting things that are popular, or are they displaying things people didn’t search out themselves? How do they prove that in court, do they need to show their source code or something?

Both. Both is good.

It’s a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I’m sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.

If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It’s 11 lines of code. It’s literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won’t link it here, but it’s coming.

edit: A few hours later, it’s up to 40 lines of code because of handling race conditions. It should work well under normal use now but if people scroll too fast it could cause problems loading two pages ahead instead of one. It’s obviously not ideal compared to an official implementation but it’s something at least, unless it gets officially implemented in Lemmy before my add-on gets approved. lol

This is a depressing reality but I think it’s likely this will happen. It makes me so mad Google got as big as they did. Someone needs to tear the fuckers down.

I did that too (swapping out a complex codebase with a simpler new modern one), then I got laid off along with another dev and we got replaced by friends of our boss lmao

Although I do admit it’s nice my new job that I’m starting next week pays me nearly 30% more than my old job did along with a better title to match the level I was performing at my old job lol

Well, her name is one letter off of Cries after all.

That’s not entirely true. One of the lead developers of Lemmy almost blocked infinite scrolling being implemented before the other lead developer stepped in and approved it. This can absolutely happen with other features, other features can get blocked.

There’s nothing wrong with having additional optional features through an addon, especially when those features are optional and also don’t have to go through an approval process. That’s the power of addons.

I’m still waiting for a community-based project of passion like Reddit Enhancement Suite.

Lemmy Enhancement Suite when?! lol

Yeah, I agree. I’m a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.

When you’re a beginner, it’s both. The further you get into your career, it’s usually imposter syndrome. Then again the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.
