Happy four of month

It’s moderately good at in-line commenting functions and creating full function doc comments for the specific language / documentation format you need, but its code generation abilities are still not game-changing. Getting it to generate anything longer than a few helper functions is a test of patience.

For self-hosted hobby instances, expenses are likely all out of pocket. Instances amassing a large amount of users could potentially be driven to aggressive financially-driven changes of how their instance works, to maximize exposure to ad posts or sponsored pinned posts, for example. Donation-centric contribution helps alleviate that kind of seeping financial platform degradation.

I generally stick to Subscribed sorted by Top 6 Hours or Top 12 Hours, then do the same for All. I don’t get much out of sorting by Hot since I’m usually more interested to read fresh posts with less active engagement.

Driving slow, leaving early and arriving early. I usually drive a bit below the speed limit, and always follow speed limit signs. It keeps people safe, even if their own impatience makes them tailgate eachother 10 cars in a row behind me. Some people like to be in a hurry when they drive and don’t know how to relax and drive calmly, I’ve never been sure why.

100%. I used to occasionally do software development over SSH with a phone with sliding keyboard when I was out and about without a laptop, the keys were just big enough not to be uncomfortable. It was great to type into a smartphone like a desktop computer, and some programs could use the keyboard for functionality. Mobile experience has become more bland and cluttered with virtual keyboards/buttons/‘joysticks’ taking up screen real-estate. At the very least, it’s nice that with an adapter many USB keyboards can work with an Android device.

Gex.

Not until the tendency for the mainstream to gravitate to centralization is changed. Lemmy will need exponential growth to become large enough in userbase to be a mainstream consideration to use the federated replacement.

Lemmy adoption will help grow federation. Lemmy is fairly easy to conceptualize as an end-user, and aside from the bleeding-edge UI/backend bugs, it is easy to use. Common users are unlikely to prefer federation due to attachment to existing communities in non-federated social media, and the 1-more-step required to properly understand instances to get the most out of Lemmy. If certain Lemmy instances hold the majority of the weight of accounts and communities, it will lead to emergent centralization towards specific instances which isn’t good for federation. Persuading people who are used to centralized design not to immediately register for the largest Lemmy instance will be a long-standing conundrum for spreading out federation.
