I use both. Bsky has way more people and the feed is better.

Today, the US government has created accounts for multiple departments in a coordinated effort to manipulate the discourse on Bsky. Most of the engagement these accounts get is from freshly created accounts in the last 24 hours and some MAGA trolls.

Here are lists of the departments. You can use these to easily block or mute all of them. Starve them of the attention that they are seeking

And a list I created with all the people liking their shit, mostly fresh bots and trolls (the script is still WIP if anyone is interested):

Man decides to keep box of cables he’s had since 2002 for another year in c/theonion@midwest.social

I just threw out my mum's CRT TV last week (unfortunately was beyond repair, RIP). I decided to keep the SCART cable just in case I might need it some day...

You Don't Need Animations - Purposeful Animations in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 7 points 4 months ago

The important thing the article is missing, is that you should always respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting. Some people just don't like animations; either because they are distracting, or because they don't want to waste battery/cpu on useless things (looking at you, spotify player, using 15% of my cpu for some animated bars...)

🚨ProPublica, a nonprofit newsroom, is looking for a remote full-time Applications Developer. You must be fluent in HTML/CSS/Javascript and have experience with data. The job offer was just published. in c/programming@programming.dev

It's pretty well known that nonprofit salaries are lower than the average, no? The whole non-profit thing tends to attract less investment, if any. Especially when the publication is doing a lot of research into the abuses of the rich and powerful, it's not like they're going to invest against their class interests.

What's your experience with Nim? in c/programming@programming.dev

No clue what you're talking about honestly. I've worked on a 7 million line python codebase, and while python had tons of issues, whitespace was not one of them. You can easily move things around and have never seen a bug due to bad indentation.

Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit in c/privacy@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

Exactly. My favorite extension doesn't work anymore because the owner (rightfully) doesn't have time to deal with this shit. So some scammer now published a version of it which requires more permissions, probably mining your data or some shit. Fuck Google

What Should I Use Instead of Github? - Codeberg Gitlab and BitBucket in c/programming@programming.dev

Thankfully, I am not at that point of desperation to consider Atlassian a valid alternative.

What does everyone think of this new WIP language? in c/programming@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That was before there were a bazillion production ready languages with 30+ years of ecosystems out there. Any new language is going to have significantly more competition nowadays

Slapping on a `.expect` is also error handling! in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev
[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Unwrap is good for prototyping and trying out stuff fast, but it generally shouldn't make it past a code review onto main, unless you're very sure

China Lays Off 50,000 Intelligence Officers, Redirects “Much of the Money” to Republican Donations in c/theonion@midwest.social

Replace China with Russia and this would be news, not satire

Tankies delusional-posting are quite funny in c/politicalmemes@lemmy.world

There were a bunch of stories of Republicans helping Cornel West's campaign last year to act as a spoiler.

Unity owned ECS patent uses techniques described in 2013 Stack Exchange post (github.com)
 

The 2013 StackExchange post [^1] describes what is now commonly called an "archetype" based ECS architecture that was implemented as compile time archetypes in the author's open source project in Feb 2018 ^3. A similar ECS model was described later in the June 2018 patent filed by Unity ^2 and active since 2020.

It's useful to bring visibility to the issue for the inevitable patent trolling that will occur in the future.

Tips on how to get clients as a freelancer? (programming.dev)
 

I'm considering doing some freelance work as a backend dev. I have around 8 years of experience as a full time employee, but I'm not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling as a freelancer.

What are some good platforms to find clients? The only one I know of is searching job postings on LinkedIn.

Are platforms like Upwork and Fiverr good? I've heard that they're a bit of a rat race, and honestly looking at Fiverr ads it does seem that way.

Impressions on Unity Entities package (programming.dev)
 

For anyone that has tried the 1.0 release of entities what do you think of it?

I plan on making a small test project with it soon and comparing it to Bevy.

I tried the 0.17 version a while ago, and I remember the API was a huge mess. I'm sure things could only get better from there.
