  • Not really perfectionism just grammar

    I think the fact that using a neuter pronoun is so charged that we can’t even speak or write our language correctly is insane.

    I’ve written thousands of technical documents, if you are referring to a generic operator / user / whatever the correct term to use is “they.” That’s how you say “the person that I’m referring to that I don’t know anything about”

    There was a brief madness in the 90s when fucking morons used “he/she” for absolutely no reason.

    People that are upset about electron should consider it’s not:

    Electron App vs Wonderful Fully Supported Native Linux Application

    The reality is that your choice is largely:

    Electron App vs No App (maybe running their windows app in wine if you can get that to work)

    It’s not like companies are going to go build a native linux app but electron got in their way. It was always electron or no support.

    So if you like the app, remember that the ram and the cpu you paid for doesn’t provide value unless it’s doing something. There’s no trophy you get at the end of your life for “most cumulative ram left idle”


  • When Apollo lost access I thought “I’ll try out lemmy” and I’ve been so happy with the change of mix of posts that I’m much happier here.

    Feels like when I started using Reddit a decade ago, in a good way. Reddit shifted subtly enough that I didn’t even realize how little I was enjoying the content.

    I wonder how many other people would have been relatively happy moderating communities, posting content and comments, had Reddit just not been evil.
