I think I misunderstood lemmyvore a bit, reading some criticism into the Lego metaphor that might not be there.

To me, "playing with bricks" is exactly how I want a lot of my coding to look. It means you can design and implement the bricks, connectors and overall architecture, and end up with something that makes sense. If running with the metaphor, that ain't bad, in a world full of random bullshit cobbled together with broken bricks, chewing gum and exposed electrical wire.

If the whole set is wonky, or people start eating the bricks instead, I suppose there's bigger worries.

(Definitely agree on "low code" being one of those worries, though - turns into "please, Jesus Christ, just let me write the actual code instead" remarkably often. I'm a BizTalk survivor and I'm not even sure that was the worst.

Nope, people will not be going along with that. I guarantee it.

Blocking even a decent fraction of all the shrilly political ragebait here takes real work, it's no wonder it's going to hell.

Good on you for asking instead of just assuming these are of earth-shaking importance and infinite hilarity to everyone on the planet.

I'm sure there are politics, political "humor" subs where this fits right in. Several, in fact, on several instances. I would check my blocklist but it is a dozen pages long at this point, and not searchable. You're on World, so have a look at https://lemmy.world/communities

Grams, kilograms and pounds all measure mass. They're just "stretched" differently by this or that factor.

There is also a "pound" - lbf - that's a confusingly named separate unit for force. E.g. pressure can be measured in pounds per square inch - it is a force distributed over an area, not a mass.

the “playing with legos” mental model

It already sort of is, it's just that people don't always even necessarily know which community things are from, let alone care how that community might dictate that they vote.

People just won't, for any number of reasons.

I no longer give as much of a shit about the last two books probably never coming out.

Even 4chan isn't all Nazis all the time. It does, however, get pretty close sometimes.

For starters they keep making mostly the same game over and over. They're essentially doing the Bethesda shtick except their end results are better. Sticking to stuff that can mostly be made in the same engine as the thing you finished 15 minutes ago is going to shave off a lot of time compared to making a new game.

Of course that's not to shit on incremental improvements or engine reuse or anything. That is just sound thinking as long as the games are good.

Looks like a good problem to have.

However, as they don't federate downvotes (at least kbin.social doesn't) you can only see local ones so this wouldn't help OP.

amex2189 disappears(?) after 72 hours, possibly because of:

  • Parents being notified of this event, and confiscating his devices.

Kek.
