keep…going

What’s wrong with Discourse? I ran a server during college for a couple of buddies and it was totally owned and operated by us, no corpos or anything. It’s just like phpbb or any other forum software AFAIK.

Proof the system works right here.

I can understand this perspective: wanting to spread the gospel of federation, etc.

But I’m starting to come around to the realization that the growth mindset is rotten. It’s what leads to these big centralized/unified platforms that concede on their core in order to reach a wider audience.

I can’t blame corpos for conceding away all identity, because engagement is how they make money, but what’s our excuse?

These aren’t refugees. They’re free to make a lemmy or masto or whatever account any time they want. We don’t have a problem with most of the people. It’s the platform, and all the fucking out and proud racists who are on it.

My grandma who owned a diner used to say the same thing, but about cops

Looks pretty neat. I like that it shows the commands it’s issuing!

Trunk based, eh? Yeah, we do that on a couple teams where I’m at, too. I like the philosophy, but force pushing the same commit over and over as you’re incorporating review feedback is antisocial, especially when you’ve got devs trying to test your changes out on their machines.

I’ve only tried the VS code hunk stager thing, and found it cumbersome compared to command line, but if you can make a GUI work for you ya go for it. I’ve never found it worth the trouble personally

Highly recommend throwing --patch on any git commands you’re used to using. You will have the prettiest, most atomic fkn commit, I’m serious people will love you for it.

I mean many people won’t care, but the quality folk will notice and approve.

Yeah…

it’s its not it’s, right?

I always get tripped up on this case. What’s shown in the picture is correct, though you’re applying the rules of English grammar very logically, the apostrophe in it's is only for contraction, not possession. That may go out the window if someone uses it as a pronoun though, idk.

Not aware of any of these, which is nice, but iddqd caught my eye since that’s a Doom reference! Overall I always thought the Doom community was pretty positive (at least going by Doomworld forums, and various Doom streamers, as I remember them). I thought surely it must be some misunderstanding! Oh maybe they didn’t reply quickly enough to take down some drive-by hate speech, but that was it.

Anyway, holy shit, do not go to that lemmy instance. It’s rotten to the core. I’m going to go take a shower and play through Episode 1 to cleanse myself now.

git rm -- \.*
git commit -m "be better"
git push --force origin/main
shutdown now  # take the rest of the week off - you've earned it

I will say that at least it has an error code. So you can actually look it up

I can just imagine something in the middle being like

`We couldn't log you in because ${getReason(e) || 'the network failed to do its network thing'}.`

Anything in roleplaying is possible, why not this stuff then?

Exactly, say it’s a curse, or magic in nature. Or maybe just One of Those Things that we don’t know how to change, but the character does their best, and kind people around that character support them and help them be as able as possible.

Then let people make characters without disabilities if they want (which is already the case). But what if someone wants to play a character, or see characters, that face similar challenges to the ones they do? And then get to play them overcoming those challenges!

This is not exactly equivalent, and I’m not asserting that you meant this, but imagine in a different time someone saying, “I don’t understand why anyone would want to play a non-white race, since it just opens them up to racism, when they could just fit in and be normal.” I consider that to be along the same class of argument as the one we’re discussing here.

why would a person want to fantasize about having a disability

To imagine a world where they are the same, but their disability is not an impediment. A more perfect world, rather than imagining themselves as other than they are.

Yeah but this is a game for characters who are played by people who exist in a world where that is not the case, so maybe a little sensitivity is called for.

Oh okay, that was a bad example then.

Yeah maybe unpopular in the greater culture, but certain not unpopular around here.
