Eeeeehhhhh… I actually could see how this would happen. He’s not being a dick and he fixed it. Unless there’s more to the story… 🤷‍♂️

My issue with kbin is php. 😂

Since you asked, I'll give you a nuanced answer.

PHP is not, in itself, inherently bad. The newer versions are performant and if you are a good programmer, you can produce completely fine stuff with it.

The problem is that it's flexibility leads to sloppy programming, which leads to projects that turn into a cluster. A good example is WordPress. I'd argue WordPress itself is well written. Once you add a dozen or so badly written plugins though it becomes a mess.

A lot of the criticism is the same that JavaScript gets. It's a loosely typed language. So "1" is different than 1. The first is a string and the second is an integer. So if you add 1+1 you could end up with 11 instead of 2.

Again, this isn't a problem if you're a disciplined dev, but we're not a breed known for our discipline ;)

When I tried Kbin it was slow, which I attributed to badly written PHP code. However, I didn't do the research to confirm this was the case.

I see what you did there. 😂

I deleted every post and comment before deleting my account entirely earlier today. You're right. The only way to stop Reddit from profiting off us is to not only leave, but burn our content down on the way out the door.

I have used Boost on Android for years.

I'm with you. It's amazing how fast ChatGPT has replaced SO for me.

I'm not sure how this will work long term. How will the model get new training data?

But honestly? SO can eat a bag of dicks. It doesn't matter if you're asking a question that's nowhere on the site (or the first 3 pages of Google results). It's going to get closed and ignored.

I think most people moved to Reddit and Discord a while ago, which is also problematic. We need to get these conversations happening on the open Fediverse.

Excited to be here! The rules look good. I suspect rule 5 is the most important and also the one that will get tested the most.

Don’t try to negotiate with bad actors. Just fucking kick them.

OMG .. apparently this went viral... On imgur .. 😂😂😂

That's the thing that kills me. There was a time when Digg was the king. Also for a while Slashdot. We left before and we can leave again.

I am liking Lemmy so far.

I'm holding out hope for Starfield. I'm trying to not let myself get excited... But it looks like something that could be so fun. I really hope they get it right. :)

That being said... I think that we as users should monetarily support our instances. I do support the instance I use for Mastodon. I will do the same for Lemmy once I settle on one.

All of this is true. :)

My grandpa was sick a lot so I spent a lot of time waiting for him in the emergency room. I played this to pass the time!

FOR CARL!

Eloquently stated. I expected nothing less from @ShartyWaffles 😂

Yup. Glad I didn't buy it, but hey... If they fix it down the road I'd give it a shot since it's on Game pass.

That's a big thing for sure. I had a lot of fun with Deep Rock Galactic, but would never have tried it if my friend group hadn't wanted to play.

That's completely fair! You're allowed to like it. :) The internet's opinion doesn't have to be yours. Loll.

I think that's the point of the article. Was it a great game? No. But apparently you're not the only person that's getting some enjoyment out of it. :)

I may have to do that. :) I need to buy a good handheld that can play that stuff.

Amazing 😂

Same. I manually deleted mine.

I've been uploading to Imgur still. Not a perfect solution, but I feel like it's better than blowing up the Lemmy instances.

I didn’t even know this existed! I’ll have to look it up.

Never played the NES game. I came close to beating it but never could get past the boss to the final level.

Yup. I checked Voat several times and checked out when I saw it was alt right bullshit.

It’s alright. I’m just glad others remember it existing!

Glad I’m not the only one!

That's an interesting perspective. It's nice to hear from someone who actually played it. :)
