Yeah. I never considered that this wouldn't be normal, though. I kinda always had a "healthier than average" palate throughout my childhood as well as doing physical activities, and maybe the discernment comes from that as you're suggesting.

Is there anyone in particular you've spoken to that doesn't have this sense?

Pretty sure they're referring to class names describing the visual style being applied, rather than what that class represents semantically.

E.g. .red-bold vs. .error-text

Ever since middle school, my "bless you" interaction has always been:

  • "Bless you."
  • Them: "Thank you."
  • "You're welcome."

And whenever I sneeze, it's "bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

I'm mainly curious about software developers here, or anyone else whose computer is somewhat central to their life, be it professional or hobbyist.

I only have two monitors—one directly in front of me, and another to the right of it, angled toward me. For web development, I keep my editor on the main screen, and anything auxiliary (be that a dev build, a video, StackOverflow, etc.) on the side screen.

I wouldn't mind a third monitor, and if I had one, I'd definitely use it for log/output, since currently it's a floating window that I shuffle around however necessary. It could be smaller than the other two, and I might even turn it vertical so I could split the screen between output and a terminal, configuring a AutoHotKey script to focus the terminal.

What about y'all?

Most people also don't see a multitude of different moons on a day-to-day basis.

No one's saying to ignore it.

If I own and run a sandwich shop, I don't need to be on the farm picking and processing the wheat to make the flour that goes into my bread. I could do that, but then I'd be a farmer, a miller, and a sandwich maker. All I need to know is that I have good quality flour or bread so that I can make damn good sandwiches.

You're on ProgrammerHumor... Why do you expect the jokes to cater to you if you're not a programmer?

No see. What supposed to see?

The Fediverse is still a pretty big experiment. The first thing I thought when I saw that Ultra lifetime price was if Lemmy would even still be as relevant as it is today (which isn't that high of a bar, mind you) in 5.5 years—the amount of time it would take for the lifetime purchase to pay off as a better deal than the yearly subscription.

Not only that, but it truly is a front end for Lemmy; not the service itself. I get that the dev has bills to pay and I guess that this is their only hustle (?), but $100 is a bit of an unreasonable ask in my opinion. If I were rich, I'd buy it. But I'm not, so there you go.

Not that anyone should care, but personally I'm waiting to see what Boost does, as that was what I used back in Reddit.

Instagram differs from Reddit in the sense that most people use Instagram because that's where their friends and family are. You're posting more personal things there. An alternative doesn't really work for most users if no one they know is using it. Good luck with the push, though.
