The problem is that sometimes it’s not your code that you’re debugging

What part of Claude 3 is open source? I tried to do some googling to find something, but came up short. Got a link?

How does VSCodium differ from the community version?

If you use LLMs in your professional work, you’re crazy

Eh, we use copilot at work and it can be pretty helpful. You should always check and understand any code you commit to any project, so if you just blindly paste flawed code (like with stack overflow,) that’s kind of on you for not understanding what you’re doing.

Honestly, that makes it funnier to me

I’m on board with bashing project 2025, but I don’t think I’d call those “4th rate universities,” at least not UT Austin

This post makes it seem like the Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn actually makes it harder to shoehorn, when the opposite is actually true!

I love my Sichumaria (4.4 out of 5 stars) Long Handle 24.6 inch Shoe Horn!

St. Louis’s Forest Park is bigger still at 5.3 km^2

Above commenter was saying that you’re not allowed to use any other app besides the default messages app to send SMS on an iPhone, so a third party can’t just come in with an SMS app that also implements RCS so everyone can be happy

Not sure why this got downvoted. Things “just working” have a lot of upsides too: saving time, better accessibility, etc.

The same Patrick Moore who thinks that it’s okay to drink weed killer? Leaving aside his insane stances on climate change, the guy is obviously a crackpot and it’s wild that he is taken seriously by anyone.

internet service providers

This is the key here, though. Twitter isn’t an ISP, they’re just making it more annoying when navigating from their site to elsewhere.

I haven’t heard of this. What does it mean?

Are there any actual recent examples of this? Everything about lemmy is already completely open, so if they wanted to do anything, they would do it

I still don’t really get who gets the money from this special membership? I understand people subscribe to YouTube and twitch personalities because they want to support the creator and they get most of the money, but what incentive does anyone have to buy this community membership here? Is it really just the special avatars/badges/whatever?

Maybe I couldn’t find it somewhere online, but is there a structured development roadmap for features you plan to implement? If not, what are the top priorities going forward? What are your long term goals with the project?

I would like to hear this story

I think Lemmy specifically doesn’t fall victim to the issue of certain news agencies and personalities being exclusive to the platform as much as Mastodon does with Twitter. You can get the same news here as long as someone is there to post it, but that’s where Lemmy is a bit behind at the moment: we haven’t hit that critical mass of users such that smaller communities have enough content to sustain themselves. Maybe the platform isn’t ready for all those people quite yet either; I think the software has a little maturing to do before mass adoption would happen.

Well said! This was far and away the most common complaint while I’ve been telling folks about Lemmy on Reddit, and I think plopping them right into a familiar, simple design would go a long way. At any rate, it’s good to see more UI people get involved since it feels a little neglected among the 3PAs and front ends, in my opinion.

My other main complaint was that people don’t get how or where to sign up, and join-lemmy.org is just a bad introduction to the concept of instances. Would love to see that piece of Lemmy improved as well!

Late to the party here but this is exactly what I’ve been thinking Lemmy needs to attract the less tech-savvy folks who absolutely don’t need/want all the hyper specific info and features! Well done!

I know I’ll get pushback for this, but I’d like to see something like this become the default so new people don’t get scared away because it’s “too complicated” and then the current one become hosted under a subdomain for all the techie folks who like the control/info.
