    I said continuous vertical lines and literally posted a screenshot of it not being able to do it.

    But it’s literally doing that in your image. When a horizontal and vertical line cross the horizontal line breaks.

    No, it’s not. The human brain does not process dashed lines as easily as it does continuous lines. A whole bunch of dashed lines are objectively harder to follow than continuous ones.

    Oh, did you mean the points that represent actual commits? You’re arguing it’s trash because there’s no line between two adjacent commits? Really?

    You can think that’s not important, but the literal decades of UX research and attention to fine grained user interaction, can prove that you’re just flat out wrong.

    You’ve brought it up multiple times now so I think it’s time you also source that claim. Cmon, source the claim where the code editor with better visual fidelity increases productivity.

    Literally just go ahead and try and visualize a basuc cube with this base point and dimensions through a CLI and watch that wow, maybe a fucking typewriter interface isn’t the best for absolutely everything:

    Not only is this a stupid argument but it’s one that I’ve already addressed. Yes, terminal can’t do everything, but I don’t think anyone is using VS code to look at a cube either. Actually, I’m not even sure if there is a VS code extension that draws cubes? So you wouldn’t use VS code for that either. Just like someone using terminal for development would use a different tool to visualize a cube you’d do the same thing if you were using VS code for development. What the fuck are you even arguing here?

    I think you meant horizontal line because lazygit is drawing vertical lines. And if we were to get pedantic when to lines cross in vs code then one of them also breaks which means vs code also doesn’t have continuous lines. It’s functionally the same visual representation of data so you’re literally arguing over it not looking like you want it to look.

    Getting an automatic terminal window when you start up vs code is no different having two panes in tmux, one for VIM and once for terminal. You can get a visual project tree representation in VIM by using neotree plugin. Your git doesn’t need to look like that, you can use lazygit. The only things you can’t do within a terminal are reading the pdf or checking assets etc (but I personally wouldn’t look at those things within vs code either), everything else you can do just as easily within the terminal without it looking like the image you gave.

    I gave you the benefit of doubt by stating you don’t know how to set up a terminal environment. But if you’re going to be adamant about knowing what you’re talking about then you should also know you’re deliberately misrepresenting the alternative to make your arguments seem more valid.

    While I agree with your general idea that there shouldn’t be any dogmatic insistence that terminal environments are superior and everyone should use them. But the points you’re bringing up tell me that you don’t actually know how to use a terminal environment for development which makes your point equally as dogmatic as the terminal purists.

    I think I was rambling a bit. I think the best course of action is to just give it a try because I think the gameplay is the biggest make or break for people. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay then it doesn’t matter if the game isn’t a toxic mess and not really predatory with the MTX.

    I would say the community is much better than what you would expect from Call of Duty or Destiny or anything looking to hit super mainstream. I think most toxic players won’t play the game because the game has a high effective TTK. The average encounter is around probably 1-2 seconds because you usually need to hit more than 5 shots and your opponent has enough time to react and use movement to make them a harder target to hit. The higher TTK may be a deal breaker, it was for a lot of people during launch, but I personally enjoy it.

    I think the MTX is pretty mild. It’s all cosmetic so they don’t impact the core gameplay at all, which means if you don’t care about cosmetics your only interaction with the MTX is the little sale window on the top left of the main menu. You can earn some in game currency to buy cosmetics but because it’s F2P their only revenue streams are the battlepass (which again is also strictly cosmetic rewards or in game currency) and the cosmetic shop. Some things are only for real cash and they can look expensive (like $20 for a pack of cosmetic items) but they usually come with in game currencies so if you’re planning to use the in game currency as well that $20 usually drops to $7-$8 which for 2025 isn’t actually that much. I forgot to mention, the battlepass can be bought for the in game currency so what I’ve done is bought the $20 thingy and the use most of the in game currency to buy the battlepass.

    Just a PSA, The Finals is playable on Linux and is F2P with a very reasonable monetization (cosmetic only with some free cosmetic options as well) and the new season just began.

    For me it scratches that multiplayer itch because the destructible environments make matches feel very dynamic.



  • As others have already pointed out, you can literally get the same result by using images as quotes. People could’ve been shitty even without the quotation feature because it’s not the feature on the platform that makes it shitty, it’s the people on the platform who decide to use it for a shitty purpose.

    Not implementing a feature because morons may abuse it is not justification for not implementing a feature. It’s like saying we shouldn’t be able to reply to comments because someone might use that feature to directly send you hateful comments. Now, if the features primary purpose is (or primary use case ends up being) to use it negatively, then sure it shouldn’t be implemented. But I don’t see how quotation falls under this exception. In my eyes quotation is a net positive.

    It doesn’t turn the platform shitty and if there are good moderators it also prevents assholes from trying to turn the platform shitty.



  • I have a more optimistic outlook. If they get spread out there’s a higher chance of them getting out of their echo chamber and becoming a normal person. And let’s be real, the worst of them will go into Lemmygrad to continue their circlejerk and thus won’t bother the wider fediverse. And the worst of them probably already have alts on other instances where they stir up shit.



  • I think you absolutely should care about the political opinions of the CEO considering it’s a private company and the CEO most likely gets to dictate the political leaning of the company. It’s not like Twitter turned to shit simply because Musk bought it. It turned to shit because (among other things) Musk made business decisions based on his political opinions.

    You could argue you don’t need to care because their political opinions aren’t influencing their business right now, but don’t you think it might be a bit too late to care when the business starts to reflect the politics of the CEO? For example if tomorrow Trumps wants to know the contents of your email and the CEO decides to appease Trump you might start to care about the political h




  • While I do agree that going on day 4 of Musks nazi salute is beating the dead horse, but a “centrist” space is hardly the solution. Even centrists should dunk on Trump and the fascist party. The issue is that politics bleeds into all the popular communities regardless of the community. We just need more non-political communities (or a harder non-political stance in non-political communities).

    Wanting a centrist space, especially one that fits the American centrism, is wanting an echo chamber where you don’t get the culture shock of discovering that you’re not actually leftist.
