Someone spent time, either seriously or to troll on an open code platform. How depressing of a life that must be in either case

Thanks! Yeah it does take quite a bit, patience is the key. Originally I was excited that 200 people followed, but then learning that it means only a handful of comments will pop each time. It goes constantly though, and that always feels great!

Good then, glad you’ve made it through, but obviously stay frosty. Those execs will cut every engineer as long as they still look good. Be ready for anything

I’m very sorry man, I’ve been through that, and I have friends that have been cut at unity before. They treat their workers terribly.

Focus on getting better first, just process it for a bit. When you’re ready to start looking, the market is warm right now. I’m more than happy to help review resumes.

Very nice! I’ll check this out!

any personal preferences you recommend?

I have a pop music one at [email protected] but don’t know of a more generic one

and unfortunately no good way to say “This community is closed, we are all over at othercommunity!”

It really is, but I’ve found that a surprisingly large amount of people like what I like. I also mod [email protected] and honestly when I post there it’s mostly just screenshots. People then ask questions and it’s a good time, if news drops or a video drops I’ll just paste a link in there, something to get the discussion going. There’s also some other great members who do similar. That’s really all it takes to get a small community off the ground

It’s a bit of a mixed bag, and the real thing is that there are other people who want to talk about it here. Trust me, I run a Taylor Swift community here, and it is an uphill battle - but it’s worth it because there are people who care and enjoy the community.

If you’re up for it, choose one or two communities and then nurture them. When reddit imploded 2 years ago we came over and we had a ton of people open hundreds of communities and then abandon them, people just opened them left and right and then expected a large audience the next day. Instead expect it to follow the 90-9-1 rule. Out of a hundred people, 90 of them will lurk and never participate. 9 will comment, and one will post. You will need to be the one to post for a while - but it will grow over time.

Take care of the communities, let them know you’re here to stay, and that it’s a place where you can chat about it. We’re a lot of nerds here, but nerds can also like football, there’s [email protected] that is usually pretty quiet but obviously people subscribed to it.

And if you’re a swiftie make sure to stop by [email protected]

Heh

I use PopOS too. Switched to Bazzite though for htpc. HDR works out of the box, and added Plex htpc as a “game” that I launch from steam.

I’ve been trying to set it up for 2 weeks now, the docker containers. There are so many backwards decisions, it’s pretty clear he doesn’t understand docker unfortunately. The entire app could be a snap to set up, but it’s such a convoluted setup that it scares a lot of people away. (It pretty much is scripted assuming you will run it on a VM, and a high cost one at that).

The fact that it’s built on PHP and Laravel in 2025 says a lot, and the fact that he started Loops this year on the same architecture also says a lot. It just doesn’t scale, it’s locked to a single host, and he’s finding that as the servers are tipping over.

They really do hide the final price until the last second when you’re most committed. They’re banking on your hunger, seeing everything in your cart, and either being so excited you’ll just click the buttons to make food come, or you’ll justify it away.

Don’t we already have this over at https://lemmit.online/?

That was never the point. I’m not commenting on if it’s better or not. Her reaction to something a fan made is what we’re all talking about.
