I’m not sure I always buy into the idea that precision is bad and broadly accessible is good. Not in this era of anti-intellectualism at least.

But I definitely see your point, if you are talking about making things accessible. Vague claims of “they just want to sound smart” smell of anti-intellectualism to me.

Isn’t it just precision?

huh, interesting! It’s The Mythical Man-Month! That book was published back in 1975. They definitely know better, but must be in quite a pickle.

Where’s that federation?

And how would this fit in? Are they just going to build a bunch of excuses into the platform, and then claim it’s now impossible?

Yeah, cover your shame.

Logged out YouTube was covered up a few years ago.

Are we aware of any big name titles that are not complete because they didn’t have actors?

Is there any chance this contributed to latest GTA6 delay?

Or did all of the major studios just switch to actors that are not part of a guild/union?

Makes me think of Dell.

Domestic US cars can’t compete with foreign cars. We’ve known that forever. Or at least since the 90s.

Growing up in the 90s in Wisconsin, all the conservatives around me always talked shit about foreign cars.

I can’t comprehend how they justified it. But I also knew nothing about cars.

It was only back in ~2016 that I realized how much building a car is similar to building a computer. Supply chains, common parts, designs made to fit common “cases”. Etc etc.

It’s exceptionally difficult to build a browser from the ground up.

But if anyone could do it, it would be a company with the money and (supposed) intelligence they have in their ranks.

There’s a group making a new browser engine though, I think it’s called ladybird?

Reddit could have done this too, but never did. At least to my knowledge.

There must be a reason.

Service contracts are where the money is at!

You could use the full words instead.

Sure, then the post just doesn’t need any upvotes, imo.

I find mass down votes on such things to be toxic behavior. Tech savvy or not. I mean, it’s basically toxic nerd behavior.

And that was just an example on hand. I’ve seen it in other communities too, again, when the news was positive or neutral and fit the community even better than talking about a single web browser in a general tech community.

I should add that this phenomenon overlaps with another, where a post will get a bunch of downvotes initially, and then “recover” or get back past zero. Many of these seem to be related to brigading or malicious bot activity. So, many of the examples I’ve run across end up being something else.

Just for context, I usually browse Lemmy All and my Home feed with the Active/hot in the last 6 hours view. So I see lots of young posts, relatively speaking.

It’s often a place for Linus to rant about how he understands business better than his audience.

What? Random positive or neutral news gets vote bombed on Apple communities too.

Lemmy is weird. It’s not uncommon to see relevant posts downvoted in a variety of communities.

Here’s one about Edge getting faster from today. It feels like at the worst, it should sit at zero upvotes.

Y’all got any of that federation?

I wonder if a segregated TikTok will be more or less of a hellscape.

Do you think there’s any chance that Musk can break whatever is formally boxing out other parties? It seems like just by being who he is right now in history, he could break things.

We need to hope he breaks the current norm in a way that doesn’t put him in power, and opens things up for proper multi-party elections in the future. That’s a lot to hope for though, I guess.

When I think about this, I can imagine Musk fans telling tales of his 4D chess moves and how his plan all along has been to overhaul and improve elections. Or some other bullshit.
