I think I can see their point. As they said, fragile isn’t meant as a slur here. If after the tenth time it happens, this kind of thing breaks you, then you’re fragile because the nine times before that made you fragile. Which obviously isn’t your fault but the fault of the people who were assholes to you.

Well, the thing is that they are right, and that’s what hurts.

Wait, I thought the decentralized version of Twitter was Mastodon

I’m a beautiful woman, most men would say “yes” to me

Maybe start with a bit more modesty idk

Damn that’s crazy. Thanks for the demo

I don’t think it’s about laziness, but rather about having deadlines set by management that you can only possible meet by reusing stuff as much as possible - even if you only actually need 5 % of this stuff but got to package everything of it in your application for it to work.

Skin: Make it so I can endure the harshest of elements. Or be impenetrable.

Good look getting a vaccine

Keyboard manufacturers requirering you to create an account to use your own fucking keyboard

Wtf that is ridiculous

Yes, usually when in meetings. It’s 99% a society/conventional thing, but looking and typing on your phone while talking to someone will often be perceived as rude. Taking notes in your paper notebook though usually will come off as being attentive and interested.

Classic “this is why we can’t have nice things” moment

Just buy converse and you’ll be wearing them in your coffin one day.

The timing doesn’t really add up though. ChatGPT was published in November 2022. According to the graphs on the website linked, the traffic, the number of posts and the number of votes all already were in a visible downfall and at their lowest value of more than 2 years. And this isn’t even considering that ChatGPT took a while to get picked up into the average developer’s daily workflow.

Anyhow though, I agree that the rise of ChatGPT most likely amplified StackOverflow’s decline.

I have exactly zero confidence that these or other bad pattern will not emerge as the community grows larger

Wait. What’s kbin? I’ve seen “@kbin.social” a few times here and assumed kbin must be a lemmy instance?

Good to know! Do you have a link or some place I could follow to stay up to date with the progress on that?
