The same two comments every single time he is shared. … but yeah, no-captions gang here.

I feel like I’m reading a different article than everyone else. The comments made me think the article would be adding advertisements, but it seems to be trying to find a way forward to facilitate advertisements while maintaining privacy.
Without technical details I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I know lemmy is largely “Mozilla bad”, but I’m just not sure the comments are in line with the proposal.

And posts about how everything related to Apple is bad and that all AI is really just auto correct.

Fair enough. If you do run MacOS, I highly recommend UTM for running guest OS’s. It uses qemu and I have really found it to be even nicer than parallels.

If you don’t plan to upgrade even after security updates end, what’s keeping you there now?

I didn’t say the source of failure. I said a source of ambiguity. And having also been in the industry for decades, I have encountered it many times, where a junior programmer or somebody new to a project read some documentation and assumed a behavior which in fact did not match the current implementation. So you may have been fortunate, but your experience is certainly not ubiquitous.
With respect to variable names, I’d suggest those too should absolutely be updated too if the name is given in a way that adds ambiguity.
I’m not saying comments are bad; rather that bad comments are bad, and sometimes worse than no comment.

And your colleagues are probably correct with respect to this sort of «what it does» commenting. That can be counterproductive because if the code changes and the comment isn’t updated accordingly, it can be ambiguous. Better have the code be the singular source of truth. However, «why it does it» comments are another story and usually accepted by most as helpful.

The books will likely please you for one reason alone. The Laconia story line that the show didn’t make it to.
Also anybody that loves The Expanse should check out the Bobiverse.

But how do you eat apples? I eat the whole thing, ass first, pit and all.
This has gotten some attention, especially about a week ago, but I really hope more people will continue to try it and, if interested, support it. It is Firefox, but heavily modified to please a different audience that prefers a slightly different UI than Firefox. It has some of the appeal of Arc, Vivaldi, and the Sidebery extension. In my view, it is very promising, and all competition in this space is good. [Here it is on Github](https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop), also.
When you copy the URL for sharing in YouTube, it adds a query parameter now, `so=blah`, for tracking the source. This removes that. It could of course be smarter and stop at either the end or the next parameter, but since I haven’t seen any extras, I just remove everything after.
I am especially interested in the initial migrations into the Americas 15,000+ years ago, but our community is small and my interests large, so... any great documentaries are welcome.
Please, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, allow us to disable this chapter skipping feature (the one where tapping left or right to bring up the scrubber, then double tapping the other direction because 100% of people want to skip that direction some unit time - 10 seconds by default). This ends up feeling random and is just vexing. It is the worst feature added to any software, maybe ever in the history of computing. How many hours are wasted trying to figure out where one was in this video? How much power and network bandwidth is consumed fighting this feature that I’ve not seen a single comment online of anybody benefitting from ever. This feature is adding to human suffering by wasting energy and damaging people psychologically. Go please, look online, and consider castigating the creator of this feature in the public square. And then take a good hard look at yourself for not stopping this evil from ever being added in the first place. Yours aye, Sane People
There are currently several applications available for iOS to access Lemmy instances. Each of which has its own benefits and drawbacks. I love Voyager (or wefwef as I still like to call it), but even the installed app is I believe just a repackaged PWA. So I’ve been looking at alternatives that vary from PWA to native Swift implementations. The list I’ve checked out so far are. - Avelon - Bean - Mlem - Memmy - Voyager / vger.app I know Lemma is forthcoming, also. I’m wondering what others current preferences are including values like price, license, governance, and features. It feels to me like the days before Apollo arose where there were many great Reddit apps, but none that stood head and shoulders above the rest. Does anybody feel there is an app shining to that degree yet as Apollo did once it hit the scene?
