I remember this working really well on google. Recently (several months?) it didn’t as I would expect. Fictional example: when searching for “asdf123” google would show results just containing ‘asdf’. One particular thing I noticed was that google seems to omit underscores from verbatim strings. So for example when searching for “asdf_qwertz” it would show results that contained asdf and qwertz without the underscore.

No.

It’s not a rickroll and it’s not base64 ;-)

I take it, the base64 decoder result was disappointing?! :P

What are things like at Starylight.social?

Small and chill. Like it was an abandoned orbital revolving around the fediverse ;-)

I had hoped, that you would notice my user name kind of resembles Count Zero, my avatar is taken straight from a Count Zero book cover, and my home instance is lemmy.villa-straylight.social

Well, you know what they say about explaing jokes and what that does to their funnyness. I guess it was not obvious enough.

What’s wrong with Tessier-Ashpool?

I had forgotten about that.

And it was good that way.

If I don’t have that song out of my head by tomorrow, I’ll stalk your account, find out your irl id, and send you muffins with raisins.

When I was studying CS I had a few courses on UX/UI design and the most interesting fact I learned there when looking for papers is: ~half the high profile researchers in the UX/UI field are on Microsoft payroll, and everything Microsoft does is highly inconsistent to contrary to all the insights of their own researchers. I think they buy as many of those people off the market as they can, just so they don’t work for somebody else, while shitting on their work, so their UX/UI just doesn’t look as bad in comparison to others.

That’s a fair choice; you do you. For me it felt weird that feddit.de chose what I could see and what not and I found it outright disturbing when I noticed I couldn’t see half the comments in some discussions. So I went for a tiny instance that defederates from nothing. I block some communities so I don’t see their content in the all feed. I like it much better that way: me choosing what I see and what not. But I guess that’s part of the charm of lemmy with all its (de-)federation: There’s a nook for each and everyone of us.

I switched instances early on because feddit.de defederated too much. I noticed, that even on communities from instances that feddit was not defederated from, I could sometimes only see like half the comments. That’s not a good basis to try and partake in discussions. Then again, feddit’s defederation list is only ~half as long as blahaj’s.

Yah, it’s really sad that that opportunity was taken from blahaj.

Only because they were quicker.

Smort comments are common, smart comments are rare.

I love me some shorks; especially dorky ones like in the picture. I still think blahaj is defederating overzealously.

Blahaj isn’t exactly frugal with defederation either. Or is an echochamber better if you call it “safe space”?

BINGO!

How many stuffed foxes do you have?

There is the fully open source debugger from Samsung, the Red Hat derivate/extension for eclipse and others are in the works. I’m happily debugging .NET applications with JetBrains’ debugger on linux. One tool by Microsoft for the ecosystem not being open source, doesn’t change .NET (Core/5+) being open source. Embedding a stripped down .NET Framework in browsers as a replacement/alternative to JavaScript, even if not required, would likely lead to the development of one or more new debuggers anyways, to have an in-browser development experience similar to how it is now with JavaScript.
