Not POV

We were all pretty cool with it all at the time tbh.

Plenty of us will still defend it, which is crazy.

All computer code is algorithms.

The point is without that personalisation it’s much less likely to show things you are interested in.

People complain about the algorithms on other social media but you can see here exactly why they have them.

Without them it becomes hard to get connected to things that interest you.

For Lemmy I’ve managed to build a decent feed by browsing all and subscribing to communities I like.

You just have to do the algorithms job now.

As for the big communities it’s exactly what happened to the old internet. It used to be a large collection of individual sites but discovery was hard. So the front pages of the internet started popping up.

I expect the same thing will happen to the fediverse eventually. It’s just a better user experience sadly.

Tabs would make so much more sense. 1 character per indent.

They’ve existed much longer than social media hehe

The thing is some group of people must like it or people wouldn’t do it.

Chances are this is a “you aren’t the target audience” type deal.

My friend joined a very cult-like Christian church.

One of those ones where they pray and people start shaking and shit.

I went to his wedding, it was fucking surreal haha

But every single one of their members had serious problems with alcohol or drugs. Including my friend.

Now it’s great they help their members quit but they very clearly take advantage of people at rock bottom to convert them.

Might be easier to use a capture card or similar to just record your pc.

In my experience nostalgia is about the memories around the item as much as the item itself.

When I think about the SNES I think about playing it with my older brother more than specific games.

But also the same with games. I remember mario fondly not because the graphics were great but my brother helping me with tricky levels and showing me tricks to get past bits.

Is it still cool to make jokes about broken arms?

I have type 1 diabetes and on bad days really struggle with brain fog.

Make sure you have all your tasks written down and organised, ideally in some form of project management software.

Things get easier the more programming you do. Once you’ve called a method for the 10,000s time you won’t need to think about it.

I find ChatGPT is really good for reminding you of syntax and things like that. No matter how many times I do it I can’t remember the ordering in a c# switch expression so I just ask for the syntax.

There’s no detail here at all.

He can do whatever he likes in his free time really. Plus finding a side hustle in IT that actually makes any decent money isn’t that easy.

If the class is asking for lots of money and trying to get them to recruit it could be more worrying.

Do you have a link to the classes website?

I’m not that well read up on his stuff. What was he so wrong about?

It was heavily used on barcode scanning devices. I had my first few programming jobs using them.

I still see some of them around.

Good riddance!!

This actually a real phenomenon.

However, gravity isn’t the same everywhere on Earth. Gravity is slightly stronger over places with more mass underground than over places with less mass. NASA uses two spacecraft to measure these variations in Earth’s gravity. These spacecraft are part of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission.

But it’s practically unnoticeable on earth in real terms.

So there could be some sort of super dense mineral in some places. Or basically hollow earth in others.

This isn’t realistic really but you said it doesn’t need to be 100%

Yeah I actually studied games tech. So it was more focused on video games. It was a lot of fun.

We had one module that was just playing board games and then finally making one.

Computer science level stuff isn’t needed for like 90% of jobs. Although I’m sure it helps.

I’m a programmer and would happily spend 8 hours doing it in my free time haha

It’s nice to get paid to do something you enjoy. But it’s still not as enjoyable as doing it for fun.

It’s in the fucking middle and the top. What’s wrong with people.

Close your eyes and use it right?
