One time I got downvoted to oblivion and then followed and harassed for saying that employers shouldn't be allowed to drug test for thc.. In r/lsd of all places. I still don't know what that was about. Did I accidently trigger the "everyone dogpile this guy" bot algorithm, maybe in a different comment? Do lsd users just think they're better than everyone else just because past use of lsd can't really be drug tested for? This happened like a year ago and I'm still dumbfounded.

Visual studio code. There's nothing else that's anywhere near as good that doesn't cost money. Those annoying terminal text editors just don't do it for me. I need code autocomplete and do not understand how there exist people who have the patience to get by without it. I do not have the time to be switching tabs 20 times a second because I can't remember function parameter overloads. That intellisense autocomplete is just too good.

I'm poor and I hate stupid bullshit. The only way to personalize ads for me is to make them go away.

Pretty soon you'll be required to get one of these as a condition of employment. Just watch.

The Lemmy.world server runs on a 16mhz 386dx and has 16mb of ram. It just does that sometimes.

We are living in a real life 1984

We should harass the fuck out of this guy until he removes it. This shit is completely uncalled for.

The thing is that Boost was a really good 3rd party reddit app. It was very stable and had a lot of attention to detail and quality of life things you don't notice until it's gone.

If Boost really is going to come to Lemmy and be in the same or similar level of quality as it was on reddit, it's going to be awesome.

The "dead" platforms still exist it just that they've undergone unacceptable amounts of corporate enshitification.

Yeah why the fuck is that? VSCode has no business being as good as it is. It's developed by Microsoft, after all. Are they planning to take it away from us and charge money for it in a few years? Why does it work on Linux so easily? Is it a government conspiracy to fill our brains with subliminal messages somehow? Wtf is the catch?

My best educated guess is that's it's a ploy of some kind. If Microsoft makes a free code editor that's really good, maybe no one will make a free open source one that's as good so that they will have control over the 1 most viable code editor? There are other things similar to VSCode but they cost money and are too big a pain to pirate because VSCode is better than them anyway.

I use Arch btw

I'm more active here. You can actually post comments without idiots being toxic about it for no reason. You can actually make posts without them getting removed for no reason. It's great.
