I'm a lot more active then I was on Reddit.
I was very active in the subs of the games I play (I'm even r/CSRRacing2 mod) when I started there, but I'm getting tired of the hate, stupidity,...

I'll dige around a tad mode I guess. Will the r/MechanicalKeyboard FAQ be brought over as well? (it has some useful links)
Debian since '95, (After a try with Slackware and RedHat each for a month or 2-3)
I run testing on my home devices (trixie now). Totally happy with it. (I really don't like the rpm based ones, even more so since IBM bought RedHat) Tried Ubuntu once, didn't know how fast to get back after the 1st major upgrade killed my system years ago.
I used ctwm since '96, switched to xfce4 in '18 (and use it as wm), ctwm is still in use for vnc connections on the rpi.
I don't do a thing without ad blockers. I decide what junk I open and what I watch. When a site has ad blocking detection, it's not worth my time, ever. Ads are the cancer of the current society. When I have something, ads are useless, when I don't have it, ads are equally useless, as I don't want and need it.
When creators of content create good content, I pay, same for apps. Ad companies leaching of the creators content need to be banned. (Those companies earn a lot more then content creators on those ads)
When there is an adblocker that will trigger the payment without me having to watch the ad (or even pull it over the web) I'm fine with it, else, no ads revenue. I pay for my data subscription, I decide.
Take Two bought Zynga and managed to add a battle pass to CSR Racing 2 which you can't ignore as well... Every week 'here are the new tasks', every level 'here is your reward' and no way to keep on gaming and check it out later, you have to go to the pass... (which takes a minute)
I thought those lootboxes were the cancer of the gaming industry, but this is worse. I'm glad that some are killing the pass system off again.
And in those boxes I sometimes see < 1% chances on the main item to drop and close to 50% for useless junk...
All games have their methods to leach cash out of players, but some methods are just despicable. Galaxy of FIre: Alliances was a positive exception. Buy a point doubler for $1.99 that's permanent... Those amounts are within the expendable income part for almost all players. (not > 100 for 1 item or thousand for gambling)
This looks interesting. Would it be feasible to make my own IBM Model M (no clue how that connector is called) to USB cable? It saves having to stack USB to PS/2 to DIN connectors...
Drat, still can't join, at least not from the Jerboa app. Will try tomorrow on web.
Unless you code for an ancient java class that includes js code... (yuck)
No, no rewrite, it's going to de replaced soon(tm)... (like the cobol code)
Totally agree, all my { end up on the next line, 1st spot when starting a function, last character of the keyword when starting an if/for/... section. I even put the closing one on the same line when it's single line, else either at the end of the closing line (when changing really old code) or same indent.
So indenting varies a lot, which makes most 'new' programmers go mental.
while (my code)
{ I'll do it my way }
if (! liked)
{ toughen-up }
else
{ get used to it
multi-line can go both ways...
}
That is, unless the font used messes it up. ;)
You want to beat the system by following the system. Al, that it achieves will be 'told you so it would result in millions?'
The only real way to beat a failing system is by offering something better and thus making it obsolete. The fediverse is an attempt to do just that.
Mastodon is getting more and more attention now Musk is killing Twitter. (Truth is getting some as well, but that's limited to extremist christians) I'm sure Lemmy and Kbin will be as effective.
