They’re already pushing for more and more current gen games to be released on the iPhone 15. It’s pretty much there.

Whats the one feature you like that windows 10 doesn’t have?

I tried to upload the gif of the outdoorsman smiling and nodding but it broke. Loved this reply lmao

He can’t respond because he’s too busy painting over all the light fixtures and power outlets

I’ve made posts both on this account and a different account from a different instance in the more niche communities that I’d like to see move here and got zero up votes, downvotes, or replies. I’ve even messaged the mods of those communities to discuss ways to get more traffic and got no response.

I’m willing to keep trying, but the majority of users aren’t and that’s something that Lemmy is going to have to overcome

I’ve had to go ham on blocking entire communities on here with Sync’s filter feature. Reddit at least has so many niche, active communities that you can actively avoid the /r/Europes and the /r/conservatives. With Lemmy, if I scroll through my subscribed communities, I get the same posts for days on end - if I scroll through everything, I get a bunch of Linux and FOSS circle jerks as well as “Tankies”, “Anti-Tankies”, commies, fuckcar communities that aren’t even realistic with the timescale they want things changes, and even more recently some posts from conservative communities.

Like, don’t get me wrong - I refuse to go back to reddit, but I’ve definitely had the desire to just quit using Lemmy because it feels like there isn’t much here for me.

Yeah I’m a programmer at a community college and this is like us. Although we don’t have any apps, we have different web apps that we use. My current job is trying to use the APIs for each of them to try and build cards in one central web app that bring in the functionality from the other web apps to minimize the amount of time you spend going from web app to web app

I’ve literally never met anybody that used Wordpad, whereas I know a lot of tech normies that’ll use MS Paint for quick memes and things

To clarify, I 100% think this bill is bad for adults, privacy, and the internet.

However…

“The end result of this law would likely be that a huge number of young people—particularly the most vulnerable—would lose access to social media platforms, which can play a critical role for young people in accessing resources and support in a wide variety of circumstances”

Social Media has a documented, well-studied, negative effect on young people’s mental health. We really could and should be doing more as a society to prevent young people from using it / pressuring social media platforms to fix the inherently negative issues with social media. This bill isn’t the answer, but acting like kids and teens should have free reign of web apps that are known to be bad for them isn’t the answer either.

How exactly does one build a “better one” that doesn’t automatically get included in the coverage of bills like this?

We have different reasons for getting the hell away from reddit. I came to lemmy because reddit killed sync. I paid like $3 for Sync in 2014 and used it every day until Reddit killed it without seeing a single ad. So, not only do I disagree with Sync for Lemmy missing the point of getting away with reddit, but I also disagree with the notion that sink for Lemmy is in any way bad for having an ad - supported tier when you can pay a negligible amount of money ( $20 in 2023 ) and never see an ad again for the entire lifetime of the app.

Legit. I paid $3 for Sync back in 2014 and used it daily for nine years.

I’ve been using Sync for Lemmy since it was first released and I still haven’t seen an ad. I’m pretty sure it’s a bug.

Thank you! I appreciate your help

I see! I definitely feel that Senior would be applicable for this given position. All of my hang ups were in thinking there was a more defined requirement to be a “Senior”. Between you and my discussions with others, I’ve learned to not worry about that and instead focus more on my knowledge-level and my direct contribution to the Org - both of which I would say are appropriate in this environment.

I did not know that! I was really getting hung up on the “not having any non-seniors” point.

Definitely. My thinking is that it would make it harder for HR to undervalue the position and, if we ever do get to hire additional developers, they will be looking to me / whoever is already in my position, in a senior / junior type fashion - at least for a solid chunk of time.

Thank you!

I will see about sticking with the Software Engineer line of titles (I’m discussing whether or not calling myself a ‘Senior’ would be a good choice with some other commenters). It makes more sense and my supervisor had mentioned that she wants the best title that could represent my skills, responsibilities, and desired future jobs on a resume.

I appreciate your advice! I’ll definitely work on getting the hard numbers to help my supervisor out. She’s been pushing for this for a while, so hopefully I can provide some materials to aid her.

I’ve had to do this before for a former job where I went from a Team Lead on a Helpdesk that started coding tools to help improve our agents metrics and the availability and accuracy of reporting to management and agents. Our helpdesk had no developers, but I was able to show how our team went from spending ~10,000 man hours a year on manually running reports to send to agents and management and only having the reports available weekly to having all of it automated and updated daily for everybody that needed them. So, I can adapt the methodology I used for that to the current org as well.
