Maybe because "take upvote" doesn't contribute at all to the discussion. I mean, that's literally the point of the upvote, you don't need to comment as well if you're not adding anything that other people want to see

I'm also struggling to understand how and why it's being compared to Twitter. How are they even related?

It's my understanding that i,j are conventionally used in mathematics which carried over into programming, but specifically it comes from Fortran in which all integer variables start with "I" through "N" based on said mathematical convention

Yeah I really enjoyed SE for a while, but I gave up towards the end game once it stopped introducing new mechanics and started just making you do the same things in different combinations. I really liked the Arcospheres though, I thought they were a really clever and novel challenge. Overall I would say it's worth the time to experience all the interesting new mechanics, but I don't think I'm missing out from stopping before I beat it

I built my first ever gaming pc this year so I've been trying to get through an infinite backlog of pc games that I've missed over the years. But as of right now all my focus is going towards TOTK on Switch

I'm surprised this isn't a more common answer. They call it Cracktorio for a reason. I'm at ~1100 hours

That's fair, but FYI for ad block specifically, Brave has it built in rather than as an extension so it works regardless of manifest v3. I think the same is true for Vivaldi but I can't say from experience how it compares

Question: what do people have against chromium? I understand not liking Chrome specifically, but what's the issue with non-Google chromium? I use Brave on my PC and phone, and Edge for work.

As for Firefox, I love and appreciate what they are doing and what they stand for. I tried using it and had one bad experience, where I was doing some web dev and encountered a bug that drove me crazy trying to fix, only to find it was a bug with FF itself. So I switched to Brave for development, and then I liked it and haven't switched back. So, not to say that one little bug "ruined" FF for me, I just haven't had any reason to stop using Brave.

I feel like it's easier and more rewarding to comment when it's a smaller community. The problem is that I don't have anything interesting to post :/

Hi! I've been thinking about jumping ship on reddit for a while, and I think lemmy is looking really promising. Here's hoping it takes off and becomes popular (but not too popular)!
