Sure, use it if you like it, but stop pretending that it’s some kind of forgotten treasure.

What are you smoking? C was the first language I learned – because that’s what a course was available for – and I hate it to this day. It’s a messy and incoherent language full of footguns and unnecessary complexity. I’m glad that there are so many efforts to replace it, but somehow there are still many people who think that features like header files, undefined integer sizes or text-based metaprogramming are the best thing since sliced bread.

Nim? D? Ada?

Who would’ve guessed that a tree is the best way to visualize something that can be arbitrarily nested?

By “fascist” you mean “supports ethnic cleansing”, or “doesn’t agree with me on every single political issue”?

It used to not require opt-in, but Mastodon users were strongly opposed to the idea of Mastodon actually being interoperable with other services and harassed the developer.

I’m sorry, the platform that allows you to use a custom domain as your identity has “no account portability”, as opposed to the one where you have to manually copy over almost everything?

You seem really good at predicting the future. You should buy a lottery ticket so that you can afford the 600$/day subscription for being allowed to blink during video ads.

<div class="inline text-blue-700 underline" onclick="window.location.href='https://Malware_Ransom_@is.gd/_40795251_Penis_Free_Movies_'">Click here</div>

If only Lemmy had a feature to block posts with specific words… maybe another social network has it.

Buy your own domain and use it for e-mails (there are many providers that support custom domains). If your provider shuts down, just switch to a different one and keep the same address.

ChromeOS user.

How dare you come up with a nuanced take on this topic instead of screaming “eat the rich”!

I don’t think I’ve ever received an e-mail from an Apple Mail address.

Let me see how you get instance admins to agree on what to defederate.

BallsFactory ballsFactory = new BallsFactory();
ballsFactory.setSuckable(true);
Balls balls = ballsFactory.create();

Bluesky allows me to use my domain as my identity and make my own moderation decisions without having to run my own instance.

The difference is that you won’t find yourself unable to send an e-mail because the admin of your e-mail server doesn’t like someone from the recipient’s e-mail server.
