Guys, now use boost to create content on lemmy! That is what is missing in lemmy. Comment and create posts!

I think signal is really only missing usernames (which should come soon) as far as features are concerned. And sadly, I don't think it will change much. I think signals problem is not really feature wise but adoption wise.

Signal needs more marketing. It needs a bigger user base. And I honestly don't know how to change that. Maybe some really top notch marketing strategy, with beautiful diagrams and text of some made up scenarios explaining the perils of using Instagram and whatsapp..

I hate complexity. A few years ago, I wanted to add some feature to some personal code of mine. But I just couldn't figure out how to do that without rewriting a significant portion of it to allow for that. There was another feature (let's call it feature 2) that just added so much complexity to the code that made things hard. I had an absolute stroke of genius: Just delete feature 2. This probably sounds stupid but I felt like a goddamn genius. Just deleting something solved all my problems.

@Ategon@programming.dev , there seems to be a bug in the quote at the top of the page. If you refresh the page (via F5 or whatever), you will see that it actually loads 2 quotes, 1 which disappears immediately and another 1 which is the one you see. It is probably doing a request twice?

Fck. This is me. Jesus. Keep busy!

No. I have tested it extensively and sublime is just smoother. Try just doing a snippet and you will notice the difference in smoothness. Sublime is butter smooth.

Where can I get those icons?

Sublime text. It is just so fucking good! Much more performant than even nvim.

So it seems like lemmy is still improving in content, even though the reddit situation has stabilised. That is awesome to see!

Oh, that really sucks..

Getting a native conversation view should be a focus for them!

Another sticky.. I understand that you want to convey info but why not just create a post without sticking and those interested in it will read it? I am not subscribed to !meta@programming.dev and I still see all stickies in my frontpage..
