I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.

Love that idea actually

Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

I felt completely stuck in my job and returned to school to do CS and now work as a software engineer. It’s never too late, I was in my 30s. If you choose to pursue it do it for the right reasons. Sit down and start to learn a bit of code if you don’t already know how to do some basic stuff. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. If you have any questions about school as an adult I would be happy to answer. The other poster who said “it’s more about producing good work” is exactly right. good luck

I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

I guess maybe the thought with pip and npm is they’re very specialized and the others are much more general. Why bloat a package manager with repositories that many will never need when you can download a specialized one for a specific need. No reason to even have access to npm if you don’t code in js or same with pip and python.

That said a way to add those repositories to other package managers would be nice and maybe possible. I’ve never really researched it.

But it’s like anything else, get people into your ecosystem rather than someone else’s

Showing the reason you edit a post isn’t dumb, its to give a valid reason so people don’t think you edited to make someones response look bad. Saying its for context, adding a word or whatever just shows you didn’t edit it maliciously.

The whole “edit: thanks for gold and I can’t believe my most upvoted comment was about editing!” can go away for sure though

That’s a great article thanks for linking it.

I’m curious how many other tools have been silently killed like that or destroyed that we’ll never know about.

I’m still shocked about the mastodon integration… “free” services make users the product so how does allowing anyone without an account to interact with your platform make sense monetarily if you don’t have some nefarious long game in mind.

This truthfully reminds me of the oldschool forums quite a bit right now. A smaller user base and being able to participate without being buried immediately by thousands of other posts and get some engagement is nice. Its also nice not to see the same thing on my main page in 12 different subs being reposted to karma whore.

The recent stuff was the extra little kick I needed to go somewhere else and stop scrolling infinitely.
