I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.

Love that idea actually

Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

120

What I mean is someone sets up a new community, blasts it with a bunch of content to get things started, or sets up a new community bot that makes 20 posts and every other post in my feed is that community. Usually with 1 or 2 votes each and no comments. No matter what way I sort I see this.

I have zero issues with people getting things going within their space, and it’s not a knock against new communities that don’t want to be empty when people stumble across them.

It’s a complaint about the algorithm flooding my feed with so much content from one place that I’ve unfortunately blocked communities over this that I otherwise would have continued to run across and maybe engaged with in the future.

I’m not sure if your first X results should all be unique communities or putting some sort of engagement threshold in place before they show up in the top X posts or something. I don’t really have a perfect answer but to me this is a flaw in the system.

What’s your background generally. Do you have a degree in something CS related?

I learned more in my first 6 months of hands on work than I did in all of my schooling. So if you have a cs degree and can learn enough of the basics and interview questions you’d probably be fine applying to jr dev positions whether your concentration is programming or other.

Really hard question to answer with that info though.

What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

I have no idea how the app is built I hate to say, Ive never looked at it. Was just giving some general advice. If I get some time I'll dig a bit sounds fun

Use the inspect button in your browser and you can pinpoint it in the html which will help you pinpoint it in the actual component.

Be aware though this isn’t shutting off functionality. Just hiding the functionality. People could still upload directly though api calls

A 3 year old article with a 1 liner from jack dorsey is hardly evidence for the job going away any time soon.

Another article to take with a huge grain of salt has CS related things in 5 of the top ten slots for 2023

You have a resume that puts your knowledge further than 99% of CS graduates, myself included when I graduated it sounds like. That doesn’t mean stupid hiring managers or HR department’s understand that though. Many places will auto dump your resume without a degree. Just being realistic.

I guess the question if you love both is do you want to break for back working on cars or sit in an air conditioned office writing uninteresting code most of the time.

There’s no real reason not to go to school even already having the knowledge. You learn a lot more than just CS and those in major classes would likely be a breeze for you. And you’ll get an opportunity to learn things you probably haven’t studied in the higher level courses.

You’ll also get to actually focus on other things and take some really interesting courses along the way. You’re gonna work til you’re 60+. Take advantage of being 18 for a while before you go into the real world

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?

Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic

I'll explain with an example - there are 3 Lemmy instances A, B, C

A federates with B but not C

B Federates with both A and C

Does A indirectly get the content from C due to B's federation with it?
