Have we got GPT spam now? Fucking hell.

@Skayo I pop in at times. Basically living @privateger@plasmatrap.com on fedi nowadays (own instance).

What's your instance?

I lose focus within at most 30 minutes if I don't have something. Most of the time it's some random defcon talk or a podcast.

Fuck-off territory.

Rust and Gentoo users aren't really known for...great UI.

@kiki Shitty ones.

Sometimes.

@Hazarth ['nam flashback to shitty SAP javadocs]

Oracle.

I work with SAP and dread it. Everything about it is shit.

Oh, no worries, gyp is just shit everywhere.

@iiii You confuse the silence and full reject actions. Not every block is a full reject, not even close.

@iiii Nope. I'm better because my blocklist is public, has reasons given and because of the fact that there's a simple way to migrate to another instance should you be unhappy with mine.

If you want an unmoderated experience, there are many servers for exactly that. Just know that you'll be on the same server as a whole lot of incredibly annoying idiots who are there only because of that policy.

@iiii
Could you? Yes.
Do I want to expose users to terminally online losers until they manually block them? No.

I value the time of people, and every second dealing with crazies online is wasted. I use blocks sparingly, but there are still a good 20 instances fully blocked that are just filled with pure shit or downright illegal content.

@iiii Yes, and that "problem" is unsolvable because the fediverse is decentralized. Of course it's fragmented, that's the whole point, otherwise small instances would not exist. Every instance builds its own little network.

Blacklisting is hella effective for moderation and a necessity if there's no central authority. If you see an instance filled with fascist weirdos, you can just throw them out entirely and never have to see them again. I'm never going back to something like Twitter where you're basically helpless.

@iiii Yeah, of course.

And those users can find a server where they agree with the moderation policies. User choice is a good thing, and trust me, there are *many* options that you can freely pick from.

@iiii I was referring to it being possible to just stand up your own server. It's not difficult at all, while it's impossible for Twitter or anything similar.

@iiii The nice thing is that you have a choice in that matter, and if no option satisfies your needs you can just build up your own.

@iiii Only as much as you want it to be. I much prefer it over the sheer amount of bullshit that Twitter forces on you.

@12bitfloat We know.

That's why it annoys me. I should be free to block that shit.

Wasn't Upwork meant to be a high quality freelancing platform that had actual standards?

Already tried to switch back and forth? The UK setting works perfectly fine for my Discord client, it uses the date format of the language you select.

Nobody really cares about Leetcode in practice, there's so much more to software development than smashing out yet another algorithm.

The old devRant users are still here apparently ^^

@-red And having broad knowledge is a sign of knowing your field.
This discussion can go on forever.

@Demolishun Ah, embedded. Yeah, that's around the only excused field.

@Demolishun If you don't know the absolute basics of how the web works as a senior software engineer, you are incompetent.

I sometimes wonder how these people live.

Has anyone claimed WhatsApp is a cloud storage service? It's a messenger.
