The boy scout technique: fix your types when you're working on a bug or a feature, one file at a time. Also try to use unknown instead of any for more sensitive parts, it will force you to typecheck.

lmao that game was so bad they removed it from Playstation's online store, but yeah I guess "it wasn't that bad"

Edit: here's "not that bad" according to CDPR: https://nitter.lacontrevoie.fr/gautoz/status/1407006269047771151#m

I see Lemmy is already at the "X is bad, updoots on the left" stage

Yes there's no difference between a picture of a steak and fries on a plate, and a kitten being tortured then burned alive. Absolutely the same thing.

The EU did its job correctly by forcing sites to ask for consent. How that rule is implemented is up to the sites, and they often choose to do it in the most annoying possible way. And then tell you to blame the EU for it.

Also as a website owner, you only need to ask for consent when you use more than "strictly necessary" cookies (https://gdpr.eu/cookies/), i.e. cookies that are needed for your site to function normally.

Don't play dumb, people are downvoting you because you pretend that seeing a picture of a steak evokes the same feelings as seeing a video of a kitten being tortured to death.

The kid that tried to kill 2 people by throwing them bricks, paint buckets, and broken glass is now a spokesperson for Facebook? How surprising.

I wish communities could be grouped in some way.

or not 🤷‍♂️

Sure it's more practical, but your whole community (as in "people") is now centralized on a single point. If you have a single one "gaming" community, and it disappears or is taken over, you lose everything and need to start over from scratch. If you have 3-4 communities spread across different instances, if one of those communities become unusable, it's easier to abandon it to become active on the next one.

Decentralization is not a silver bullet, but as we've seen during the last year with Twitter and Reddit, it's better than the alternative. Nothing prevents you to subscribe to several similar communities, each with its own flavor, and participate in the one(s) you want.

"deleting" only flags the comments as such in the database, but that still makes them unreadable. That means unreadable conversations and lost information for users.

"Can we focus on Rampart, please"

Right. And do you have the same emotional response when seeing a picture of a steak and when seeing a video of a kitten being tortured and then burned alive?

Sure it's somewhat different, it's just the after picture of torture and not active torture

Ok so it's different, got it. For a second I was concerned that ya'll were really getting distressed when exposed to a picture of a meal, in the same way a video of an actively tortured animal would distress most people.

So you know they're different, and yet pretend they're the same to give yourself a moral high ground. Kinda hypocritical. Or do you suffer from cognitive dissonance?

It is opt-in though? The site can't track you until you agree with its cookies policy

but, do you protest any of that?

"you should protest everything or nothing, no middle ground allowed", this has a big "and yet you participate in society" vibe.
