Same for me! For niche hobbies, Reddit still has a lot of valuable older information. That might change though.

I agree with what NuXCOM said, but to add a little more detail in this situation…

For me, it’s a little different because of perceived influence.

DHH has always been the software equivalent of an Instagram influencer. He’s been selling himself as the mythical 10x programmer and wrote a corny business book with his co-founder.

Meanwhile, he was mainly working on Basecamp and racing million-dollar cars. A lot of his personal cars have been sold to YouTube influencers.

He has had a cult of personality built around him for years, and stupid people in some small software circles love him (clearly, by the rubygems takeover).

The Lemmy devs have no influence at all over software development. Just Lemmy.

As a former long-time Ruby developer who also used Rails (Ruby since 2006, Rails came along for me later), I’ve always known DHH was a total douchebag.

It’s nice to know he’s being super obvious about it now. He’s always been awful. He’s just been slightly quieter about it, other than buying million-dollar cars and pretending he’s still relevant.

Edit to add that here’s a presentation talking about “The DHH problem” in 2014. The updates are darkly humorous.

This is correct, for me at least.

I don’t read the text out loud in my head. I can, but I’m able to understand and comprehend the intonation and text without “performing” it.

The 2022 World Cup was literally built by slaves. It has a way of keeping prices down.

Oh my god it really does say that.

Not even quoting someone. Just blatant editorializing by ABC7 News’s Irene Cruz.

Don’t get your news from TV networks, ever.

“They didn’t do their diligence on that one”

“The gig is up”

Both from a podcast I listened to. I’m still not sure if they ever learned.

I love a good crime documentary for chores!

I too have a military family, and it’s ok to be angry at them.

The inherent integrity of the military has changed a lot over the past two or three generations, but the blind worship of the military has not.

What would most people have said to the soldiers who committed the Mai Lai Massacre? Or the Abu Ghraib tortures?

“Thank you for your service.”

I’m not reading all that. Sorry for your issue, or I’m happy for you. Whichever you prefer.

It has been remarkably useful! I keep trying to tell people about it but apparently I am just their main use case or something.

I would have loved it when I was using Samba to share files on my local network decades ago. It’s like a Swiss Army knife!

rsync can sometimes look similarly scary! I very clearly remember triple-checking what it’s doing.

rclone works amazingly well if you have hundreds of folders or thousands of files and you can’t be bothered to babysit a portal.

Tangentially, I don’t see people talk about rclone a lot, which is like rsync for cloud storage.

It’s awesome for moving things from one provider to another, for example.

That is very cool! Thanks for sharing.

It hadn’t occurred to me to use a phone as a controller, great implementation!

These kinds of things are really cool! I love interactive fiction/games that have a real-life component.

Do you have any more information about your projects?

That’s really cool! Do you have an example of the calligraphy you like?

It’s one of my favorite sequences from any game!

The best you can do in any job is to care as little about them as they care about you.

They will barely read it, and they won’t care nearly as much as you do.
