What a terrible idea.

MBFC is already incredibly biased.

It should be rejected not promoted.

Ok then tell me an alternative we can use in the scale for free.

None? Then pls dont just complain complain complain… And dont suggest improvements.

You don’t.

There doesn’t exist a site to magically do what you want.

Likewise it’s not needed. It doesn’t add to the quality of discussion on the community. All it’s going to do is cause conflict as we now have to constantly point out to people how garbage the source is so that they don’t let it influence them.

So much for “feedback is welcome” I guess

goferking0 ,

Figured it would take more than a day for that response to happen lol

TrippyFocus ,

As the other poster says we don’t need to have something like this at all.

If you’re adamant about it then make a post where people can suggest which one we use and vote on it. We can also adjust the bots comment to clearly call out the chosen ones biases and methodology. As it is now it’s actively harmful as I mention in my other comment.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I find the only people that say MBFC is biased, are just saying they themselves have biased opinions so they don’t agree with the MBFC rating

I’m 1000% with you on this

geneva_convenience ,

Every newspaper has its bias. MBFC heavily favors western liberal perspectives. It is often fine on domestic policy but not reliable when it comes to foreign policy.

As this is worldnews and not Americanews, MBFC ratings are not reliable. Articles should be judged by the evidence they provide.

You are a disgrace

Maalus ,

Boooo. Running a community as a mod-dictator and not being able to hear feedback and react to it like an adult. Just because you thought of something, doesn’t mean it is a good idea or that people will like it. The approach of “better than nothing” is naive and plain wrong - misinformation isn’t “better than nothing” it actively hurts the community.

@nia_the_cat@lemmy.world avatar

Seeing as this is the stance the admins stance on decisions that are majority hated by the community, I’m just gonna leave this instance and go to one with admins that are more user-focused.

I expect community leaders to take reasonable feedback from the community respectfully even if they disagree, rather than doubling down on very unpopular decisions. Especially when said community funds the platform.

The majority of the bots posts have more downvotes than upvotes. The community has voiced its dislike for this bot as a majority.

AhismaMiasma ,

Please remove this bot.

Rooki OP ,
@Rooki@lemmy.world avatar

No we dont. We saw the expected “ReMoVe ThE BoT” comments, because MBFC did hurt their feelings by not rating their favourite newspage the highest creditability on earth.

And just block it, then you can imagine how it is without the bot.

AhismaMiasma ,

I don’t care what it rates a particular news page, I care that you’re treating this as an objective/unbiased authority on truth that you feel needs to be communicated on every single post.

You could take a moment to reflect on all of the responses you’ve received, but your comments make it clear that you don’t value other perspectives.

Used to play a ton of FPS, don’t really have the desire to do so anymore these days. Started up another heavily modded run of Skyrim the other day

I just started playing Sekiro.

I started once before, but life happened and I kinda just stopped.
It is a lot of fun though and I think I will stick with it this time.

Skyrim SE, yet again. At this point it feels like a second job.

polle , to piracy in Adobe stole my creative suite

This really sucks. As a fellow cs2 user, i switched to krita some years back, perhaps its good enough for your work.

C126 , (edited )

I don’t support piracy of Adobe, because you’re still using their ecosystem and still supporting it by propagating its use. Just stop using their trash, seriously.

datavoid ,

Affinity is solid, and regularly goes on sale

Kaefor ,

It’s on sale right now and has a 180-day free trial even if you tried it before.

polle ,

What are you talking about? I am using and recommending krita, lol.

rickyrigatoni ,

Petter1 ,

Not META?

JokeDeity ,

Yeah well until there’s another ecosystem that comes even close to being as good, I’m going to continue pirating Adobe. None of the alternatives I’ve tried have been deserving of the overwhelming praise I see, they’re all lacking tons of features that PS has had for years.

anzo , to selfhosted in [Request] Automatic backups when PC comes online

As to how, I’d probably use zfs send | receive, any built-in functionality on a CoW filesystem, rsnapshot, rclone or just syncthing. As to when, I’d probably hack something with systemd triggers (e.g. on network connection, send all remaining incremental snapshots). But this would only be needed in some cases (e.g. not using syncthing ;p)

JokeDeity , to piracy in Adobe stole my creative suite

I’ve been pirating Photoshop since I was 14 in 2005, and I’ve only been proven time and again that they don’t deserve my money. Easily one of the greediest, greasiest companies out there.

Wojwo , to selfhosted in FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

DLNA is going to be your best bet, but it’s such a deep and convoluted rabbit hole. There’s a lot of ways to configure a setup.

i_am_not_a_robot ,

Or use Miracast, AKA WiDi, Smart View, SmartShare if you just want to mirror a screen.

lemmyvore ,

Miracast is not the same thing as WiDi and anyway it’s just another bunch of competing proprietary protocols except for screen casting instead of streaming.

i_am_not_a_robot ,

intel’s WiDi software supported Miracast, which is a standard.

lemmyvore ,

They’re all “standards”, yet no two TVs will work the same (if at all) — even when they’re the same make as the phone.

InFerNo ,

I setup miniDLNA once, many years ago and it just kept working. Downside is that I completely forgot how it’s set up.

Wojwo ,

The trouble for me was always getting people to use the controllers. I had some success with some family members using bubbleupnp on their Android phones. But the separation between sources, renderers and controllers is a little confusing for non technical people

magic_lobster_party , to programming in Are SW design patterns guilty until proven otherwise?

I think applying design patterns blindly without understanding what problems they’re supposed to solve is often more harmful than not using them. It can lead to difficult to manage code bases because the program is over engineered for problems that don’t exist.

My general rule of thumb is to write code that can be easily adapted to unexpected changes in requirements. Avoid writing code that paints yourself into a corner. Simple solutions are often easier to work with than complex solutions. If what you’re doing adds a lot of complexity, take a step back and seek other options. Maybe you’re overlooking an obviously simple solution to the problem?

I think inheritance almost always has this “painting yourself into the corner” tendency. Once the design is set, it’s often difficult to break free from it. Composition along with interfaces is generally the better choice. Often not even interfaces are needed.

This comes with experience. You learn what works, and what doesn’t. Often you do it the hard way.

Databases are tricky. I have no good advice for that.

netvor OP ,
@netvor@lemmy.world avatar

I love Christopher Okhravi’s take on inheritance:

Only Use Inheritance If You Want Both of These

spoilerthe “only use inheritance when …” turns out as pretty much “never use inheritance”

@netvor@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, the guy has some good points (and a good microphone and a radio voice) but I don’t think the first video you linked is very well done, especially the intro. Starting with “this is the most important video because it’s going to tell you something that nobody tells you” is a great way to sound …kind of like a narcissistic crackpot.

E.g. the one with 3800 lines is pretty good. (BTW I realized already subbed to his channel earlier…)

magic_lobster_party ,

Haven’t properly watched the videos, but I don’t think OOP is that bad. I even think encapsulation is one of the core strengths of OOP.

I’ve worked with systems where no thought was put into encapsulation, and those are often incredibly difficult to work with because everything is heavily interconnected. Can’t make a change in a small thing without risking breaking something else at the other side of the program.

I like to see encapsulation as a workspace. It defines the tools we have direct access to. Changing one thing in a workspace shouldn’t affect anything on the other side of the program. Makes it much easier to collaborate in large teams. Minimizes the risk of interfering each other’s work.

Rhynoplaz , to nostupidquestions in US regional accents: Saul Goodman and Michael Scott

Steve is from Massachusetts, and Bob is from Illinois.

I’m curious if Steve used to sound more New England, and possibly trained himself to speak in a more “neutral” Midwestern accent.

Although, they are the same age, so maybe it was a trend they picked up in the 70s?

Cagi , (edited )

The Western New England accent is very different from your classic Foggettaboudit east coast accent. Unless you’re an academic linguistics researchers, it’s basically the same as American standard. He was luckily born into his accent.

Rhynoplaz ,

How West is Western New England? He was born and raised just outside of Boston. That’s usually a pretty distinct accent, and not a foggetabouit accent. I see he went to school in Ohio. I think it’s more likely he lost it there, but I’m just a random guy. I just throw theories out.

Emmie , to science_memes in Interspecies linguistics

Why do we use sound hmmm all over the world when thinking about something? Was there just first proto language that had all these onomatopoeias built in or were they invented independently because they excite neurons in same way, mood regardless of culture?

Maybe its for a similar reason to why cats purr; vibration make brain feel different in a way that facilitates thought?

Sign language is even more universal (early hominids def would’ve had signs before proper spoken language).

Maybe it also has to do with the human anatomy? Like, when people are thinking they probably have their mouth closed and maybe even purse their lips. The sound you can make in this pose is really just hmm I guess.

OK yeah, the next question would then be why we use certain facial expressions…
