    I dunno I think it’s pretty stale: It’s more of the same layoffs & AI pivot strategy with the same banal lip service paid towards the slopconomy.

    I dunno I think it’s pretty stale:

    The aim isn’t to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff

    Long term maintenance is another elusive skill for LLMs. This, like most vibecoded projects, will probably be abandonware within a year.

    Yes and no? I don’t think I deserve special treatment, or that I have some unique trait that makes me better than others. I feel special because I have more people that love and support me than I can count.

    And out of me and my wife, I’m our dog’s favorite.

    I’ve never experienced it, so it’s not really a problem for me. I get that it sucks, but I’d rather be able to play the game with risk of cheaters than not play at all.

    I know! I’ve been part of the hype since they announced they were making a new Marathon. The art direction is fantastic, and I know that Bungie’s gunplay is the best in the business. Too many eggheads mismanaging the company, requiring prospective customers like me to jump through Windows-shaped hoops.

    It sounds like they’re targeting the same player base with their expansion into PvE too.

    I don’t really read critics’ reviews, but was drawn in by the outrageous title. They’re so mean! They’ve got no shame opening up twitter to shit all over a movie a lot of people worked hard to make. Obviously it’s their job, but do they have to be harsh? Loudly calling a movie dogshit is just rude.

    I don’t have anything to add other than my pearl clutching lol

    I’ve been running Linux full time on my desktop for two and a half years. My wife has been running Linux for almost one year. The biggest pain point is that I switched to nixOS in 2025, which was great at first. After running it for a while I feel like I don’t fully understand my machine. I thought I could force myself to understand nix better by immersing myself in it, and I was wrong. I want to switch to something more minimal that I can wrap my head around but I don’t want to give up the insane number of packages available. My wife’s biggest pain points are not knowing the names of the apps she wants to install, and me nagging her to update her system once a month.

    I just installed Firefox out of curiosity and I’m surprised by how nice the UX feels compared to Orion. If the ad blocker is comparable, I’m absolutely going to switch to Firefox.

    But what if I liked those people :( Have you seen Staross’ comment sharing their site? It has a nearly identical moderation strategy. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

    When a cohort gets too large it gets graph partitioned into two.

    But what if I liked those people :(

    This would probably look like having a random jury from a cohort approve/disapprove flagged posts from a cohort member

    Once again I think this is an interesting moderation model. It’s like a formalized take on how a small group of people moderates themselves. I admire the originality.

    I agree the pyramid of trust moderation sounds interesting. But there’d need to be a larger sized community, I don’t think it would work at a small scale. Personally I prefer smaller communities...

    I agree the pyramid of trust moderation sounds interesting. But there’d need to be a larger sized community, I don’t think it would work at a small scale. Personally I prefer smaller communities where most people know or at least recognize each other. A pyramid of moderation feels at odds with that.
