  • Lemoa - A Gtk client for Lemmy

    Jump

  • I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.

    EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!

  • Nice to see some OC on here! (And it’s also funny :) )

  • Should we be cross-posting to equivalent communities between instances?

    Jump

  • Well, there’s this place:

    My new community got quite a few subscribers from there. Just make sure to post relative links using both the Lemmy and kbin routes (/c/ and /m/).

    EDIT: oh, I almost forgot, there actually is a site for community discovery: Lemmy Browser. I don’t think it currently lists kbin communities but we could ask them to (or if it’s open source, someone could implement it).

  • This is pretty awesome and it shows how far .NET has come in recent years.

    /u/Ategon do you ever sleep? It’s insane how much you work on making this instance great.

  • I really like jless. You can pipe the JSON output of a cURL command into it and it displays it in a really nice, easy to read way with collapsible arrays and objects.

  • You're right, they also have to prove their counterarguments, and those who don't do it are often bad programmers. But I've also experienced the same with some actually brilliant people.

  • That may be part of it but I've also observed it among fellow programmers.

    You give your opinion about something and your coworker has a smug, arrogant knee-jerk reaction based on some cargo-cult belief without actually thinking about the details of the problem. Then you need to walk them through why what you said is not what they meant step-by-step, and while it may be wrong it is still a valid opinion. If you succeed, they completely change and become cooperative, and you can have an actually useful discussion. But you have to be super patient, like when taming an irritated feral cat that wants to scratch you. If you're good, the cat becomes cuddly and cute.

    This works but I'm extremely tired of having to perform this dance with 60% of the new coders I meet.

  • Wow… did he not know about the multiplication operator?
