This is the best thing ive seen this week!

Ubuntu: For shilling all kinds of profrietary garbage by default. If I wanted that I’d be on Windows.

Also the changes they make to GNOME make it worse, they take away what makes it good, the flow.

OpenSUSE, awfull default software selection on desktop, and pushing users hard to use an “everything configuration tool”.

because you have a thing against solutions that are both beter and easier

They only (probably) show us that we are seeing the begining of the file. Also relative line numbing is a thing in vim for example.

someone should make lisp but with html syntax

superpowers are s-tier by definition, if one were b-tier it would have to just be a power

I’m sure that’s the case, but the meme is not making fun of typescript, its making fun of his dad: JavaScript, maybe for not comparing to his son: typescript

I made this simulation to show how effective attraction to a bug light can be an emergent property of a mosquito’s navigation and confinement, even though they are not attracted to light innately.

See my mastodon post.

Thanks for sending me in this direction, its been fun!

At least here in the free world we have to manually build echo chambers and “The Algorithm” does not build them around us without our consent.

a lot of it could be the no-face aspect, we where that a lot

i hope/believe that the intent is rarely malicious, that its not really a significant thing at all on that side.

lol that is a very good point

I disagree about SO, though I am not a fan of it for other reasons. Interesting thought about acting on convictions. Thanks.

I’m not upset of complaining, I’m observing and philosophizing, this has been an intellectual pursuit, thanks for the reply

no

That is the trap, isnt it. Votes are an awful metric for approval, and approval inst always needed.

What? people wont agree with me? LIES! (<-- that is a joke). I’m not offended, and i agree, i here, am a truth seeker looking for insight, thanks!

Yes, although your comment seems to me to be correct, it misses the point of the question, and the actual question has been answered quite well already by others. Surely the format is not in and of itself toxic, and I personally find it a little strange to think of a format as toxic, though I suppose one could create such a format. Rather, the question is weather the format of the website encourages or indues so called “toxic” behavior or leads to the perception there of, among groups of humans using software in the format in question. Maybe because “yearning for affirmation” is a near universal human trait and the format of the site provides its human users access to a convenient but unreliable metric by which they may measure the approval of their peers. Some of us suppress this drive for approval with to strong self awareness or self esteem or lack it entirely due to mental illness, but it is in almost every human, and of course, our need for approval is of course a double edged blade. It makes society possible, and makes us hate to take part at times.

Thanks for the advice
