To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/“power user” stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other “power user tricks”.
Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even “verbatim quotes” are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn’t fucking blow.
Ha! Get rekt, Meta.
But your point was that this is actively keeping people on Discord? By extension, that must mean that a significant bulk of those 150M users are kept on Discord because it has PluralKit. How do you reconcile that with the group of plurals being, apparently, quite small? To the point where even on Beehaw/Lemmy almost nobody seems to even have heard of it.
Interesting argument. I’d be curious if you know roughly how many plural people there are (let’s say headcounts as there’s only one body) compared to Discord’s user base. (150 million active users per month according to random half-assed google search)
Give some JS dev about fifteen minutes
I can virtually guarantee a lot of people here not only can imagine it, but use CLI applications heavily every day.
Being generally as flexible as a dry straw, not owning the cool open-toe tights, missing the ability to see through my own abdomen, and I don’t use Apple products.
Oh, sweet summer child…
“What will help me connect with my base? Ah yes, the haircut of a child molester!”
Both the guy and his barber must’ve been on PCP. At a certain point “just fuck my shit up” doesn’t even cover it anymore.
Diffusion of responsibility, nobody wanting it enough to force the issue or shepherd it through committing to it/planning it/developing it, and/or not knowing if the considerable amount of effort will “pay off” in the sense of actually getting merged.
Note that I have no clue about Minetest specifically, I’m just guessing
I assumed they would try for feature parity at some point, but I think they forgot.
I do. I recently bought a new phone and this was non-negotiable. My headphones are good and my desire to bring Bluetooth and batteries into the equation is a cool zero at most.
Forgot the algebra using fruit emoji or whatever the fuck.
Bonus points for the stuff where suddenly one of the symbols has changed and it’s “supposedly” 1/2 or 2/3 etc. of a banana now, without that symbol having been defined.
“Oh my god, who cares!”
People spend one-third of their lives asleep. What if employees could work during that time … in their dreams?
Great The Onion stuff. Hard to make this shit up.
“Gimme five lolcats for a demotivational,” we’d say…
it completely ignores the collateral damage
I don’t think so. I try to not be overly “conspiratorially minded” but I’d 100% believe in a millisecond that the “collateral damage” is the point all along here. Google is pushing constantly for more control and this is just another item in the long-ass list. After massive pushback on Manifest 3, they “cancelled” it a while back and now they’re right back pushing it again.
More of this shit?? (Sorry, “questions”)
Come on, dude. It is pitifully transparent already, and then when you consistently try to argue with every reply you out yourself as completely dishonest or completely clueless.
What was the point of spending years as a productive administrator, making tens of thousands of edits and logging thousands of actions, to implode the whole thing over a pointless argument on an RfA talk page?
People do weird things. Mood disorders, (develop-/)mental disorders, personality disorders, extreme cases of having a shitty day, or just being a twat.
What is really fucked up isn’t just the meltdown, but the insinuation they did this to fuck with someone else, this Beeblebrox guy. That’s not very hoopy.
“site” does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.
I’d consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the “quotes for verbatim results”, which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.
