  • Yeah dev home is pretty much useless at this point.

    Back when it just launched, they marketed it as it would introduce cool stuff to developers like, what I’m waiting for the most, git repositories Explorer integration. But all we have is a constantly crashing app and two extra widgets for the widget panel.

    Dev drives are also cool but they’re the part of Windows anyway, no dev home needed.





  • I’d personally at least give them a chance. Defederating is a pretty easy process and can be performed at any point in time. At least some Threads users may as well get to know about Lemmy and switch to it.

    Upd: yes I do understand many people don’t trust Meta and neither do I. But I also understand lots and lots of users here are using anonymous accounts, and federation information is already public to begin with. Combining the fact that Fediverse may gain more than it may lose, including more users, original content, recognition and etc, I generally think it’s worth the risk. I am generally content with any decision, just sharing my two pennies of thought.




  • Let’s face it, such comments usually cause more problems than do good. If someone changes the code and forgets to modify the comment, the reader might favor one or another at random. “Stop sign” example isn’t the best but you get my point.

    Comments at best should explain some non-obvious logic, or some sort of reasons for implementing one way or another. For SDKs and packages overall, public APIs should also be commented. The rest imo should be readable from code.
