For my vim journey it was the draw of being able to quickly navigate and manipulate text without ever needing my hands to move away from the home row on the keyboard, and being willing to put in the time and effort to push past the learning curve.

Star Control 2 is the one I still come back to every now and then.

Movies are a time commitment, and who wants to deal with that...

That seems perfectly reasonable.

What comes to mind when I see this meme is more along the lines of CS DMing devs directly with customer issues and expecting us to magically come up with a solution to something with minimal information given.

I'm still on a pixel 4a, and I am terribly disappointed to hear that those have gone away.

Given the "anyone can join in" nature of the fediverse, something like this was inevitable. I expected it to be at least be another couple of years, though.

There is potential good for this- a lot more developer resources going into this technology. And being open source software, there's a lot of ways we can potentially mitigate any damage if we have to. But... there's definitely a lot of ways this can go poorly as well.

Technically? Sure. But it would likely require rewriting a bunch of systems which would be pretty expensive and I don't know why Reddit would want to do that right now.

It's interesting watching all the people here that... this is clearly their first time experiencing this cycle.

I think the community is much more important than just having more content. I would worry that by flooding Lemmy with Reddit's content without the community to support that content could drown everyone out.
