Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

@256 Virtual memory, my favorite!!
@hipsterelectron I boost my replies when I want to "quote-tweet" something.
@JP That sounds great.
Good luck on masters!!

The word queue is ironic.

To me programming is more than an important practical art. It is also a gigantic undertaking in the foundations of knowledge.

There's a really cool claymation puzzle game called The Neverhood. It was a big part of my childhood, and it looks like GOG might work to bring it back to modern devices! Consider voting to bring it back from the old times to modern-day computers, if it looks interesting to you. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/the-neverhood

@fuuma I use Haiku regularly while college is in session, for note-taking and some schoolwork. It's a great little system.

Been thinking a lot about media recently, and I think a lot of writers and creators really need to understand the importance of pacing and a strong first impression.
The intro of Mario & Luigi: Brothership was dull, and turned people away. The first few episodes of the RTD 2 version of Doctor Who were bad and turned people away.
In both cases, the creators stuck the boring and audience alienating stuff at the start, and lost a sizeable percentage of said audience.

@tante I think this is a bit too extreme and generalized. For instance I don't use the inline code suggestions, they annoy me. But I sometimes use the AI Chat to ask programming questions, especially when I'm in a domain that I'm not very familiar with. I don't blindly copy the answers. I validate them and use them as an inspiration to solve the current coding problem. I'm very aware that AI makes errors.

I found this #throwback from a few years ago. I'm thankful to whoever made it.

I just logged into FaceBook for the first time in years and it’s filled with the most insane AI slop
At least I have cool music to listen to that my brother made.

@rolle I've thought about that, but I feel like it would be toxic on a microblogging platform. On a forum-like platform (like Reddit, I guess) I think it would be beneficial.
Given how contentious a lot of posts on microblogging platforms can be compared to the more analytical nature of forums (IMO), if emoji reactions were a thing, I suspect you'd get a lot of annoying, low-effort 🤡 and 🤣 and 👎 etc. reactions.
The #Mastodon app on my phone is one of the only social media apps I have that is an actual benefit to my life. It's less addicting and more giving.

Silly #poll time:
How do you pronounce "been," as in "How have you been?"
