Eh, lots of stuff can be easy to learn, difficult to master.

Most languages only take a few minutes to do a “hello world” app.

When you announce you’re comfortable with something, it probably depends on the scale of the apps you’re used to working on.

So a junior dev could very well feel they’ve learned something like react after two days of cramming.

Desktop OS on a tablet is fine and even preferred depending on what you want it for.

I have a surface and don’t mind using full windows that way.

I have a surface and I love it. At the same time, I hardly use the stylus.

I’m sure it’s the reason many get it, but I also think there’s a large audience for a tablet without one.

I’ve seen that about Ubuntu a few times. Can someone provide me with a TLDR or a good summary article of what’s happened to them? Also is it their server stuff too or just desktop? (I use Ubuntu on my home server and have for years)

That was definitely the turning point in his general PR

Isn’t it focused on negative news about musk? Which I enjoy, not gonna lie.

They just assume that because they continue to see anyone, that they are still seeing everyone.

I understand when most people have this thought on lemmy. But you know you’re on a reddit community, right? This place is dedicated to talking about reddit.

The only real rule is that words come and go and change organically. People don’t just decree that a word needs to change like some king of language.

There are no rules to how new words come into being or how old ones change.

If everyone says a word a certain way with certain meaning, then that’s what it is. One person doesn’t get to decide.

English works like all languages. It’s organic and full of exceptions. New words pop up, old ones die, pronunciations change and differ between similar words.

Most people chose to say gif like gift. One person doesn’t get to change it just because of who they are. Otherwise celebrities can start changing things.

This is all like the Mean Girls scene where the girl was trying to make “fetch” happen and the other girl shot her down.

That’s my point. If everyone pronounces a word a certain way, THAT is its correct pronunciation. The first person to say a thing doesn’t get to tell everyone else they’re wrong.

Everyone started using the word “literally” to mean figuratively, so the official definition changed to mean either or.

Everyone says GIF similar to gift, then that’s the proper pronunciation. Creator has no say.

Find me a closer English word than “Gift” that uses a J sound for the G

He made the format, not English.

Yeah, now reddit can’t really promote the final version of this one

So why are you participating in a reddit community on lemmy then?

It’s such an oversimplification, it’s insane. “YoUrE sTiLl uSiNg ReDdIT”

I wonder if people with that same sentiment go to picketing protestors and yell at them, “Just quit!!”

As if the idea of trying to promote change rather than immediately giving up and moving on is anathema to them.

I was on fmhy, that died so I went to shit just works and then that went down for quite a bit. I’m glad it came back before I found yet another instance to try.

I was referring to your original point being short term thinking.

Long term vs short term thinking.

Short term it makes no difference.

But long term it could. People might get annoyed by the lack of content other than protesting and check reddit less. It also keeps the conversation on alternatives like lemmy here.

Also, if reddit believes that the community has genuinely turned against them and will ruin everything on purpose, they might rethink their actions (obviously unlikely).

Sometimes people just like to flip tables out of frustration even if it won’t accomplish much. A lot of angry redditors just want to burn it all down and I hope they succeed.

As an extreme example, if /r/place was truly covered with “fuck spez” 100%, would that be an enjoyable thing for people who don’t care about what’s going on? They’d probably get mad and leave. Which would hurt reddit.

It also costs reddit extra money to deal with all of this.

It’s similar to workers protesting instead of just quitting. There’s a point to protesting and not everything is solved with a simple boycott.

When digg was dying, many people still used digg, but just to point others to reddit. In hindsight, would you say that it didn’t matter since they were still using digg?
