Please copy dota instead of league… Dota actually has a coherent design philosophy and creative devs who know how to balance a game, league is just designed around what monetizes the community most effectively.

Isn’t Kagi an AI company with a bunch of shady shit going on? I’m always extremely skeptical of these posts.

That just makes it a more effective filter for what you’re looking for. Many people on the apps aren’t interested in a long text conversation and would rather get to know each other in person. If you prefer conversing online for a while, then count it as a win if someone ignores or unmatches you for sending them a long message.

Yeah it’s pretty disappointing. Their analytics blog used to be awesome too, tons of cool insights and it was obvious that they knew what they were doing. I assume the entire operation got bought up by VC money in the gold rush of Tinder clones.

The problem is not that people are typing on phones… It’s that all of the apps are now driven by profit-maximizing algorithms instead of algorithms that try to find your best match. OkCupid used to be the best dating site hands down because of the match percentage from the questions, but now it’s just Different Tinder. You can still have great heartfelt conversations on mobile dating apps, it’s just harder now.

You’ll need a decent GPU to decode HD video, which led me to just put together what’s basically an outdated gaming PC from old parts and a couple cheap ones I had to order. Works great as a jellyfin server.

You don’t, you look at the outstanding issues and pick one that sounds at all intelligible.

The experience of jumping into a big unfamiliar project is very much like Robert De Niro parachuting into the middle of hideously complex pipework to surgically fix a single leak in the movie Brazil. Nothing around you makes sense at first, and all you can do is look exactly where you’ve been told the problem is, and stare at it hard enough to finally see the crack in the pipe. Then as time goes on you can start checking the other pipes, and eventually you might think “Hey, why are these apartments all connected in this order? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to just have a central tank that then supplies each unit?” And then maybe you try that out, and maybe it’s a notable improvement and other engineers applaud you for your contribution… Or maybe it was a dumb idea for reasons that you hadn’t yet grasped, in which case you get to learn why.

It can be a fun process, just give yourself time to explore. One of the best things about version control is the ability to just fuck things up in experimentation without actually damaging the project.
