  • The API Tooling Crisis: Why developers are abandoning Postman and its clones?

  • I started using bruno for lazy gui "make a request" needs.

    But for anything serious python requests is right there, so I mostly used that for testing.

  • If you had end all be all say, what limits (if any) would you put on speech (public or private).

  • I will unilaterally decide.

    First off, conservatives aren't allowed to speak anymore.

    That.. that might be it. I might be done. Now everyone else can get to work building a better world.

  • He's lying. Or bullshitting. Whatever you call it when people say shit without any regard for the truth. Typical conservative slop.

  • People don't think too good when they're emotional, so this would be very effective.

  • I don't understand how so many people played final fantasy 7 and the only lesson they seemed to take from the story is "tifa got big titties"

  • Why do you prefer the Fediverse over other Social Media?

    Jump

  • It's not corporate owned. No profit motive to turn things to shit.

  • The Feed Is Fake - That “viral” song, movie, meme, influencer, and celebrity drama was probably the product of a stealth marketing campaign.

  • I never heard of Geese, but I only really use Lemmy for social media.

    Viral ‘Last Breath Of The Confederacy’ Speech Puts Louisiana Man On Political Map

    Jump

  • That's a good speech. I really hope the republican party and its ideals die out, but I don't think it's going to go peacefully.

  • the librarian isn’t picking the books for you dude. you can also go to other libraries

    You can go to other platforms, so I'm not sure what this is a rebuttal of.

    and them thinking I’m a huge asshole

    I mean... if you behave in person like you do here, you might be coming off as not very fun

  • Unless the people responsible for him being jailed are personally ruined, i don't think this is a good outcome.

  • Saying "the apps don't match people" and "the apps provide a platform [for matching]" is I guess technically true but disingenuous. You could say, like, libraries don't give you books. You have to go and check it out yourself. Yeah, kind of, but people go there with a purpose the platform is (nominally) intended to fulfill.

    your success on the app is a product of your attractiveness

    I don't know if that's really true. I'm middling attractive and had a lot of success. There are a lot of factors.

    I don't think the sweeping generalizations about people are really helpful. Is this making you happy? Are you doing okay in your dating life?

    I feel like we've had this conversation before.

  • Moving to a new city without a financial plan is a dubious idea, yeah. Especially since the current economic situation is Bad.

  • I'm not buying into techno evangelism. I'm saying that given a choice between a good faith effort to match users with compatible dates, and something else that will make money, they will almost always choose to make money. You can have success on the apps, but they're not trying to get that success rate very high.

    Furthermore, many problems people face in dating are present with or without apps. The behavioral and emotional provlems you allude to, I expect.

  • The dating apps are definitely not optimized for user dating success.

    That said, a lot of people self sabotage in their dating life. The apps aren't going to put in a lot of effort to stop you from doing that.

  • NYC isn't cheap but sometimes you get what you pay for. But yeah, $2000/mo rent is probably eye popping for a lot of people. You save a lot by not having a car, though. Or roommates can also cut the cost.
