Isn't it ironic.... that we all left reddit because 3rd party apps were being killed off, and came to a place where there are no 3rd party apps.
To be fair, kbin on a mobile browser is already leagues above the official reddit app

A guy boots Linux over 200k times to find which commit caused a bug
This is why soulless corpos can never compete with talented people who are more than happy to work on amazing things for free just for the sheer satisfaction of achieving something actually useful, instead of lining shareholder pockets while pretending to look busy

Cyberpunk 2077’s Devs Explain The $30 Expansion Price Tag That’s Raising Eyebrows
Fairly-priced expansions are 10000x better than garbage micro-transactions and DLC, I don't get why anyone would be annoyed with this

This, I've always loved GOG but ever since I've switched to primarily gaming on my steam deck, it's been more of a pain than it's really worth to use GOG

CD Projekt Red insists that Cyberpunk 2077's launch wasn't that bad, but 'it became a cool thing not to like it'
Honestly, I'd say I actually enjoyed cyberpunk more because of the public backlash, because I had such low expectations that when I borrowed it off a mate - I was blown away by how fantastic it actually was

AI and Coding.
ChatGPT 4 is pretty decent at checking code for any mistakes, and it can generate pretty good code if you can describe what you want very well. But sometimes it does give you code with a slight mistake or two, so what I normally do is give it the code in a new chat and get it to check it itself

Stumbled upon someone who seemed completely opposed to the idea of federation and the fediverse. Like, if you are opposed to federation then why are you on here? They seemed to be pretty confused abou
@Otome-chan@kbin.social there's definitely been a disconnect between people who just want a reddit alternative and the intended audience of the fediverse i.e. people who want a decentralised internet. I'd wager that a lot of people who left reddit would have happily gone to another social media giant if it had the features they wanted.

How do you pronounce "scone"?
Technically neither is "correct" (as if a pronunciation by native speakers could be in any way wrong) as it's originally a Scots word, and in Scots it's pronounced [skɔn] so that it rhymes with "lawn"

This Ancient Language Has the Only Grammar Based Entirely on the Human Body
For instance, the suffix “-ed,” signifying the past tense in modern English, originated in “did” (that is, “did use” became “used”);
What? That is complete and utter nonsense. The -ed suffix comes from the suffix used to form the past tense of weak verbs in Old English, which in turn was derived from the Proto-Germanic preterite (which was an innovation compared to Proto-Indo-European).
The word "did" is just the word "do" with that suffix attached, not the origin of it.
I stopped reading the article as soon as I saw that, it's such blatant misinformation that could have been fact checked with a google search instead of a bizarre folk etymology.
