I’ve not used it in anger but the principle just seems like inline-styles with extra steps. However I’ve also had to change something in a large project that had a lot of dedicated classes with specific and shared styles and trying to sort that out without breaking stuff was a massive pain.

Yup it’s on the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo

I was so focussed on the misspelling of “losing” that I missed the chatGBT.

Ugh I don’t know why but this was the one that got me. Just no.

… Who grew up in a world where computer internals were abstracted away so you never needed to know what a file was or even that they exist. I wouldn’t know what a file was either if I didn’t grow up in exactly the right time frame and have a dad who hoarded DOS PCs.

As the guardian usually does

There’s probably a correlation between people who are aware enough of reddit’s practices and policies to want to switch to Lemmy and people who are engaged in or by political discussion.

I booked a flight recently, the translation engine was obviously having issues so instead of giving helpful labels for form fields it was stuff like: “{{ name.first }}”, which I could figure out for the most part, but then on submission I got an error with no description at all. I opened the dev tools and resubmitted the form to find the API response which gave me the actual error. 2 pages previously a form field hadn’t been set correctly by the web page (it was a drop-down, I selected an option, the error said it was null). I managed to force the field to populate properly and hey presto, submission works. Ridiculous.

Honestly I think it would play into the “Trump is fighting the elites” narrative far too well, and would probably be celebrated. “America is so great we don’t even need those other countries, how dare they insult our President for life?”

The main draw to the CLI for me is portability. I’ve been a dev for ten years now and used tons of different editors on different platforms and while each one had a different way to describe the changes, how to commit, or how to “sync” (shudder), the CLI hasn’t changed. I didn’t have to relearn a vital part of my workflow just because I wanted to try a different editor.

I would be curious how this actually works in practice. What counts as “in progress”? Encounters? Plot points? Knowledge that a goblin has? If all of those things are “in progress” and you can only have so many things in the “in progress” column, I feel like you’d very quickly have to break that rule and then everything becomes “in progress”.

I think there’s a bit of “whoosh” happening…

I said in another comment but basically the left have a tougher message to sell than the right. The right says that the system works but it’s the foreigners/benefit thieves/refugees stealing your money/house/jobs. That is inherently quite easy to understand without much thought or critical thinking. The left on the other hand have to tell you all about Thatcher, Reagan and neoliberalism before we even get to the point of solutions which are usually incredibly radical like changing the fundamental economic model we’ve all been operating under since the 80s. Inherent in that is a fear that the left’s solutions will take assets and wealth away from people. While the right promises that your assets, wealth and property rights are sacred and that it’s the “other” that will have their assets, wealth and rights taken away. Again, very easy-to-understand messaging for the right versus the left.

Genuine question, where are the extreme left rising? I haven’t seen any but that might be the algorithms/my news sources talking.

I totally agree that neoliberal economics are essentially what we understand to be economics now. To be clear, I’m not blaming the left, I think it’s a case of they have a more difficult message to convey. To explain the problems that neoliberal economics has and to propose a solution to them is a really hard task compared with “it’s the foreigners at fault”. It’s a much clearer, more concise and seemingly solvable problem compared with “we need to overhaul the global economy”.

So I didn’t make a statement about that. I’m making a statement about what these results might tell us, admittedly in a very simplistic way.

Far right parties gaining significant popularity especially in France and Germany. It’s not great for the neo-liberal centre who created and perpetuated the economic downturn we’re all in and indicates a failure of the left to present a coherent alternative. There’s a lot to unpack about it. France has already dissolved their parliament and triggered an election because of these results.

I’ve been programming for too long, my brain just autocorrected the typo so initially didn’t get the joke…

I think for most people it’s whatever you got used to first. I agree the hatred the GUIs get is overblown. I would always recommend people learn the command line but if you want to use a GUI, go for it, doesn’t affect me unless your commits are bad, in which case the CLI wouldn’t have helped anyway.
