Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that’s particularly helpful as well.

I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It’s often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It’s like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.
this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.
How does this make him money exactly? lol
He is literally just killing off his website.
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 he keeps doing this people are just gonna switch to Mastodon lol
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
Yeah, I agree. I’m a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.
Reddit and Lemmy have better UIs than Fark. Fark shows websites as thumbnails rather than the content as the thumbnail, so it’s both less engaging and less descriptive.
Like, this should really be a thumbnail of the desert: https://i.imgur.com/M8RhHli.png so it makes you want to click on it, and also having the ability to preview it would be nice too. Small things like this can make a huge improvement.
I did, ever since the first day of the blackout. I have only gone on reddit like maybe two or three times since then, since I redirected it to lemmy in my main browser.
They are trying to squeeze as much money out of their platforms as possible, regardless of the fact that it’s at the expense of users and will downgrade users experiences.
Also (in theory) you can stick a VPN in front of it to hide your home IP to prevent DDoS attacks etc.
To some extent, yeah. It feels like a more tight-nit community here.
It’s pretty shitty how those loud people have ruined something that used to be awesome.
Looking forward to it! Let us know when you do.
How do you even dowvnote on Lemmy? I don’t see an option for it, only on kbin.
I’m not sure. I think I want to stay here.
True, no point having one yacht, better to have three yachts.
Depending on the person, it’s not acceptable at any age. However, why would you want to be with someone so judgmental? It’s easy to be accepting of hobbies other than your own if you’re a decent person. After all, it’s not like you would have all of your hobbies in common with your significant other, right?
Oh No! Anyway
That may be, but I know my browsing history, even as I get older and older, and I am using StackOverflow hardly at all compared to ChatGPT which I am using almost a scary amount.
I know I am not the only developer, this is how things are going.
ChatGPT is a big, big part of it.
