Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that’s particularly helpful as well.

I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It’s often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It’s like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.
this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.
How does this make him money exactly? lol
He is literally just killing off his website.
It’s a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.
I’m sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.
I think more options and user choice is a good thing.
If he keeps doing this people are just gonna switch to Mastodon lol
If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It’s 11 lines of code. It’s literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won’t link it here, but it’s coming.
edit: A few hours later, it’s up to 40 lines of code because of handling race conditions. It should work well under normal use now but if people scroll too fast it could cause problems loading two pages ahead instead of one. It’s obviously not ideal compared to an official implementation but it’s something at least, unless it gets officially implemented in Lemmy before my add-on gets approved. lol
This is a depressing reality but I think it’s likely this will happen. It makes me so mad Google got as big as they did. Someone needs to tear the fuckers down.
Yet there are still so many people who deny climate change. It is pretty horrifying.
Yeah, I agree. I’m a programmer, and I too would also expect the majority of people using decentralized platforms have a technical background.
Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol
Reddit and Lemmy have better UIs than Fark. Fark shows websites as thumbnails rather than the content as the thumbnail, so it’s both less engaging and less descriptive.
Like, this should really be a thumbnail of the desert: https://i.imgur.com/M8RhHli.png so it makes you want to click on it, and also having the ability to preview it would be nice too. Small things like this can make a huge improvement.
I did, ever since the first day of the blackout. I have only gone on reddit like maybe two or three times since then, since I redirected it to lemmy in my main browser.
Still some improvements need to be made but it’s way more usable now than before 0.18.0.
Ah nope, I’m not in the UK. I guess there are more phantom shitters that shut down an entire office than I realized!
I have seen things, things that no office worker should see…
Anyways, that may or may not be one of the reasons I don’t want to work in an office again lol
Holy shit, that sounds so similar to the last time I worked in an office LMAO
What country was this?
Yep that worked, thanks!
Weird, it doesn’t seem to have a subscribe button when I go to it: https://i.imgur.com/vws3HXX.png
I run into all kinds of oddities with Lemmy.
Also I got a JSON parse error when trying to write this comment here too lol
The sad part is reddit actually used to be open-source. They’ve become what they wanted to destroy. Sad times.
They are trying to squeeze as much money out of their platforms as possible, regardless of the fact that it’s at the expense of users and will downgrade users experiences.
That may be, but I know my browsing history, even as I get older and older, and I am using StackOverflow hardly at all compared to ChatGPT which I am using almost a scary amount.
I know I am not the only developer, this is how things are going.
ChatGPT is a big, big part of it.
