No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.

Client side is completely out of the question here. You can't just send millions of posts to every client hoping that they will order it themselves. Bluesky has a well thought out architecture that does that through server side feed gens, that can be decoupled from the App itself.

Poe's law is really confusing me here. It's funny if it's a joke, sad if it's an actual anti-vegan statement.

Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon

Totally agree. Mastodon is absolutely terrible at discovering new things. Explore tab is just feeding me a bunch of garbage, like cat pics (what is this, 2005?)

This is the initial reason for the invention of "The Algorithm" on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.

I’m personally not ok with not having a way to ensure that I’m not seeding nazi manifestos that were stealthing as a reasonably named subplebbit.

I kind of get the feeling this is exactly the content they want to help host when they refer to "censorship resistance". This was also the key selling point of Gab when it launched.

Edit: even their logo is a meme commonly used in far right circles, so there seem to be a lot of dog whistles for the type of community they want to create.

Technically cool, but it's scary that it tries to emulate the anonymous, unmoderated shithole that is 4chan. Go to 4chan now and try to imagine something even more racist, nazi and unhinged.

When the only thing that is stopping kids from dismantling your government is an O(N^N) algorithm

 

Trump, who won reelection in November 2024 partly by claiming he could end the Ukraine war in one day, spent his first month in office posting cryptic messages on Truth Social about how the “deep state” was preventing him from implementing his genius plan. Now, with pressure mounting, he has finally delivered on his promise – by offering to surrender on Ukraine’s behalf.

 
 

The 2013 StackExchange post [^1] describes what is now commonly called an "archetype" based ECS architecture that was implemented as compile time archetypes in the author's open source project in Feb 2018 ^3. A similar ECS model was described later in the June 2018 patent filed by Unity ^2 and active since 2020.

It's useful to bring visibility to the issue for the inevitable patent trolling that will occur in the future.

I'm considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.

What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.

Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I've heard that they're a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.

 

I see this so often, but I don't understand it. Some people just fork a huge amount of repos and never commit anything to them. What's the point? Are they trying to pad their profile for potential employers or what?

It just clutters your active repos. Personally, I just remove forks once my PR gets merged upstream. And I only fork when I'm ready to push a commit.

Is there something I'm missing?

 

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.
