Disclaimer : I am a hobbyist programmer, I have not gone to Uni for that , so I might not know everything I am talking about.

My question is why don't open source programs include something like diagrams of the algorithms they employ ?? I Was looking for algorithms for a chat program with client-server architecture, I was hoping to find diagrams and descriptions of how algorithms work, so a to study them an adapt them to my needs. All I found were FOSS projects with no such documentation.

Considering that reading source code can take a long time, and sometimes interesting projects are written in a language the user isn't familiar with, I was wondering why such documentation style doesn't exist ? It could help even newer contributors get started quicker.

Is there a way set a filter to block posts with that keyword in the title or description ??

I had enough of posts about a certain personality living rent free in the minds of many, I am just fed up with that. if it isn't possible, I hope developers will work on this feature soon !

It feels like social media fakeness is seeping through into real life more and more. and every one is working harder on perfecting their façade ?

what do you think ?

This has gone become unbearable especially when Youtube doesn't provide a language search filter. fishing for more clicks is ruining the user experience.

Youtube should do something about that.

Is it to lure men into paying for more private pictures or subscribe to their only fans ? Who's falling for this ?

I am referring to bot profiles with pictures of asses in thongs front and center, commenting with platitudes on high traffic video, especially news channels.

Recently I binge watched Abbot Elementary, and I couldn't get enough of it, watched the British version of ghosts and it was quite good too.

I have tried "what we do in the shadows" and it wasn't to my liking.

What are your suggestions about a light comedy series of the same genre ?

I used to play mindustry and I played zones I didn't know I couldn't win because I haven't developed the right weapon to take on the Master enemy.

I have found my self playing many hours to be annihilated at the end by an enemy I didn't have the means to kill. there is no deterrence mechanism to indicate that such a zone is unwinnable and lets me waste hours for nothing.

how Am I supposed to know which zones to chose to win and unlock new types of drills for example and new weapons ? should I do more research before playing ?

Hi I am looking for a **free ** game with simple mechanics, competitive and online is a plus. plus suggest games that don't require steam, I don't want to install that software

I used to play vanis.io but people spoiled it by playing in teams while I like playing solo, while other games of the genre (slither, agar, paper.io) couldn't stick with them

I played mindustry, and wasted tens of hours, until I found out That I was playing campaigns without having unlocked enough research to beat the master, the game didn't have the right mechanisms to orient me to the winnable campaigns, and I ended hating it for that.

I am a simple guy looking for a simple game to distress (not candy crush simple)

I was looking at buying a new android device with either android 12 or 13. and I wasn't ready to see how all phones shipping with these versions have forced sign-up using a mandatory phone number. the step cannot be skipped , and workarounds are very tedious and sometimes require a PC.

Where is the EU when you need them. how is it acceptable to force people to sign-up to your spying software when they want to acquire a smartphone?

Are there no laws in place to forbid this type of bundling between hardware and forced subscriptions ??

Are there any privacy non profit organization that can take them to court ?

Hi I found out that it is possible to create a thread on a lemmy community using a mastodon account by mentioning the community handle. but the process is quite undocumented and unknown to many of us.

How Can I make a thread with a separate title and post body from an app like tusky?

how to make the community @ mention not appear on the title ?

Are there any propagation problems to be aware of ?

sometimes the post doesn't show on the community feed, or takes too long to show, or shows from another instance quicker than the one I have posted in. the post might have the correct creation timestamp but fails to show up on the lemmy community promptly.
