  • My new favourite is asking GitHub copilot (which I would not pay for out of my own pocket) why the code I’m writing isn’t working as intended and it asks me to show it the code that I already provided.

    I do like not having copy and paste the same thing 5 times with slight variations (something it usually does pretty well until it doesn’t and I need a few minutes to find the error)









  • I believe the folder you are attempting to refer to is for all users so you probably do want to have the config in ~/.config unless you want everyone to have the same. Also /home is the directory that includes all users respective ~/ directories so use ~/ when referring to your own home directory.

    Edit I can’t figure out the formatting. My client is showing <sub> where ~ should be.

    But the CPU would be thoroughly confused in many cases. Like if you added a number with a string. This means low level tools have too and therefore people who do low level programming are confused and the generally carefree has rules can make it difficult to debug js.

    Also I think rust making you write “safe” code unless you explicitly tell it otherwise is a great thing.

    So I think that tools telling the user that they’re doing something wrong is great, tools telling the user to stick with physical limitations for better performance are completely valid but what js does seem really weird with having constants be reassignable, making them nothing but labels combined with HTML I find it even more annoying.


  • Searxng throws together results from different engines as far as I know.

    Not sure how a federated search engine would work though.

    Edit: hash0772 (is there a correct way address someone’s username on Lemmy?) already mentioned this but it’s generally best to use an existing instance, there’s also some on tor. (they obviously still only search the clearnet)






  • There’s lots of LGBTQ+ and FOSS (I wonder why lol). Star Trek and science are also becoming rather common (or it just took me a while to find the right communities). I also get the feeling that the age bracket is larger than on other platforms and people seem to be nicer too (at least compared to the month or so I spent looking through Reddit before finding Lemmy).

    Following is more about the kinds of post than users. (I don’t want to waste your time if that’s not what you meant by “common things people see”) There’s also some videogame and pornography communities (I’m sure there’s combinations too) so I do set my client to blur nsfw images and I block video game communities for games I don’t play/don’t want spoilers from.

    Lots of webcomics also seem to be (automatically?) uploaded to their respective communities.
