The first rule of therapy club is that you talk about therapy club.

A true grammar Nazi would obviously know that it is a proper contraction. No true Scotsman and all that ;P

I’m not attacking you, I’m attacking your words.

And the reason I said you were obstinate were because you were. You refused to accept that it works since it doesn’t do it in the way you want it to. And now you’re rage-downvoting. You should probably take a few minutes off.

EDIT: No, you didn’t state that it didn’t work after seven minutes and multiple routs of attempting to get the link to resolve. I see that you have edited that in later, in one of the later comments. It worked on the reload for me. And no, it’s not preventing input to improve a product, it’s asking you to be less absolutist in your comments. “It doesn’t work as well as it should” compared to your “it doesn’t work”. When it obviously does work, albeit could work better.

Edit: No ;P

Who said I can program?

EDIT: If I could do the work to make it work better I would.

EDIT:
obstinate
adjective
ob·​sti·​nate ˈäb-stə-nət : stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course in spite of reason, arguments, or persuasion

Sound’s like you’re just being obstinate, then. It works, just not how you would prefer (well, I would also prefer that it didn’t give an error screen like that, but that’s besides the point). This is still early days of an open source project, and for that one should have a bit more understanding than for corporate products. A lot of other services also started out very unpolished and took time to get better.

The good thing is that you should be able to contribute and make it so that it doesn’t do that since you wrote you were a software developer for your whole career.

EDIT: nice angry downvote, Cosmic Cleric…

Yeah, that would work as well. I’m sure there are times when there isn’t a community that someone made such a link to, and at those times it should show an error screen, obviously.

So you’re saying you did know that Lemmy has the thing where if you’re the first one to ask to get community data from another instance the link will give you an error and you must click it again (or reload) to get the instanced version of that community for your instance, and then say that it doesn’t work?

That doesn’t sound to me like you knew how Lemmy works. I can agree that it should be more hands-off for the user and the server should silently just do the thing to get the instanced community before sending data back to the client, but that’s a different argument.

That is how Lemmy works. Not my fault if you didn’t know that.

Like Trainguyrom wrote, you’re probably the first user on your instance trying to access it. Try the link again. It’s the proper way to link to communities using Lemmy. Your link doesn’t give people on other instances the easy option to subscribe to the community.

EDIT: Interestingly enough it looks like someone went through the first page of my profile and downvoted each comment of mine. Hmmm, how very strange ;P

He even called it “Alumium” before that, which I think is even better

Not sure if you actually meant logarithmic or exponential. An exponential tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot more in tax, while a logarithmic tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot less in tax. See x² versus log₂(x) (or any logarithm base, really). The exponential (x²) would start slow and then increase fast, and the logarithmic one would start increasing fast and then go into increasing slowly.

Do we not use our PC as a heater to kill two birds with one stone?

As far as I know the OED is a very specific dictionary that’s way beyond what most people need and mostly for people dealing with language in their work. https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ would be the more personal variant from what I’ve heard.

Places that have specific security concerns with people being able to get away from the building fairly quickly seem to mandate backing in to the parking spots in my country.

Reverse in? Like everyone should basically do anyway?

There’s always machine code, just writing numbers for the functions of the CPU. Or you have Esoteric programming languages like Brainfuck that doesn’t use any words at all, it’s just very simple instructions. There’s Piet, which is a pixel colour based programming language.

To be frank; no programming languages are based on English, they are all based on logic. They are most often expressed in English, but there’s really no reason one couldn’t have a translation layer for every programming language. But that would make it a lot harder to find the solution if you have some fairly niche problem. Having everything in one language is simply more efficient since it doesn’t fragment the questions and answers.

But a quick search gave me https://analyticsindiamag.com/6-popular-non-english-programming-languages/. The simple answer to your question thus is; No

I don’t want blu-rays, I want DVD. Less anti-consumer stuff going on there (although not for lack of trying, just a bit less technical know-how at the time it was made).

It’s a reference to monetary compensation often given to high level executives in large companies for when they leave for some reasons. Usually if the leaving is on a short short time frame as opposed to finding a new position they leave for voluntarily, although I don’t know that much about how they actually work.

Is that that thing where someone says something wrong to get the right answer explained to them?
