Oh, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not here to defend stack overflow or anything. They’re absolute rubbish as a company. I just thought your “third way” comment was misguided.

But - codidact went nowhere. Reddit and now lemmy have never been helpful for my programming problems. What’s taking SO down is their deal with the AI devil? It’s funny in sort of a sad way.

Like Lemmy? The site we’re all using?

Cute. Except Lemmy hasn’t helped me solve any programming problems. StackOverflow has.

And I think you missed my point, so I’ll restate it: If this theoretical middle-ground moderation were actually viable, it would have eaten StackOverflow’s lunch like a decade ago. People were SALTY about SO’s hostility even before the “summer of love” campaign in 2012.

I’d be suspicious of a tres leches cake made with coconut cream. Somehow, I don’t think it would taste right.

Well, no. If there were a middle ground, we’d all be using it.

Can you even find a black-and-white CRT for sale anymore?

I had a CRT monitor back in the day that tipped off the edge of the desk while I was hooking it up.

CLUNK! - hiss

Welp.

I learned a valuable lesson about leverage that day.

So say we all.

Oof, that’s rough. For me, for whatever reason, I’m very consistent any time I leave my house: Phone, wallet, keys.

I make my list on my phone for exactly this reason.

But Charles does have a surname. Mountbatten-Windsor? Or does that not count? I’m foggy on what the rules are for the royal family.

Just the tips?

Circumcision with extra steps?

And a very happy Christmas to you too, kind stranger!

I feel like you could benefit from hearing this one more time:

“No.”

Is a complete sentence.
