I can only defend myself with the good old "it is impossible to write a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶ Lemmy comment stupid enough that everyone will realise it is ment to be sarcastic"

Preprocessing source code is an awful idea and I wish it never became widespread.

I used to hate semantic whitespace, but I came around when I was using it anyway.

Please don't.

I honestly can't see anyone but an insignificant fraction of the general population ever using this.

There are only a few people who would benefit from taking the time to learn a how to use this contraption and even fewer who would bother.

The last line should really say "hold my potatoes"

Even better: wash yourself regularly and avoid synthetic fabric.

If that's your gripe, you really didn't understand much about the source books.

Please provide a link in addition to a screenshot when you are referring to a post in the fediverse. You can easily link to a mastodon post from Lemmy since both are federated, and if you do it, your post will magically appear as a response to the original mastodon post.

This looks super interesting. There are a bunch of embedded development communities on the threadiverse, consider cross-posting this over (I think Lemmy has a cross posting feature that avoids duplicates)

You should cross post this to !linguistics@lemmy.ml

It took me about a minute to figure the same, before reading the comment, and I never had a multi element burner.

Maybe OP, you, and a lot of other people in the thread are being a bit overdramatic?

They have forgotten the sacred scriptures!

"And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror."

from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15

Thanks for the interesting article.

There is no way the fediverse can reimplement r/place feature by feature. A federated Place would have to be different. It could be a month long project ora even permanent one, probably with a slower update rate.

I like the idea of people seeing different things depending on the server they use and who that server federates with or blocks (https://lemmy.world/comment/1749093).

But maybe the fediverse should look for its own thing rather than try to imitate.

Very cool, but this is not federated.

I wonder what the federated version of r/place would look like. It should not be too hard to create a collaborative pixel board and accept input from anywhere in the fediverse. But we would need to come up with some cool fedi spin. A chessboard, maybe, where every server has a square?

In the future, when the fediverse is more mature, it would be cool to create something.

That is a very good idea if you want to disincentivise yourself from using your tablet

I see your point, but I really wish we could go back to a more innocent internet, when people make slightly crappy videos as a hobby, rather than overproduced shows as a profession.

H2g2 would make an amazing show. And we could finally find out what happened to earth.

Oh my god, gpt has clearly digested tons and tons of teenage fanfic, I can recognise the style from a mile away.

Feel free to summarise it for us when you are done ('cause I ain't reading it anytime soon)
