Sounds like something that would yank me out of the immersion every time. Why would anyone agree to that b.s.

on can somebody confirm this pls? in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev · 3d ago
Is “case expr:” really a label? You could put anything in there, like “case 42:”. I don’t see a label, but maybe I don’t know what a label is in C.

I’m sorry but it doesn’t matter one single iota to me who discloses it. The mere fact is what turns me off.

No; I am even practicing speed reading at times.

on Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Hands-On Preview: What a Wonderful Night to Have a Curse in c/games@lemmy.world · 3d ago
I think title case has been made mostly obsolete online where title distinction can be made in a bazillion other, nicer ways. Especially here, where the title is basically all you see before clicking through. 🤷♂️ My two cents.

on Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Hands-On Preview: What a Wonderful Night to Have a Curse in c/games@lemmy.world · 4d ago
I think the ideal would be to stop unnecessary capitalization. 🙂
Why do you want capitalization?

on Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Hands-On Preview: What a Wonderful Night to Have a Curse in c/games@lemmy.world · 4d ago
I did get it after a few seconds, thanks.
I know it’s “correct”, it’s just very bad. There really is absolutely no need whatsoever for using capitalization like this. Zero defensible point to it, IMO. All it serves to do is add extra mental overhead. Just like the weird “why use many word when few ok” grammatical structure.
It only sounds extremely pretentious to me. Especially when sometimes the author doesn’t really master the language in the rest of the article. (Not saying this was the case here though.)
In this case I would flip the first part and “spend” an extra tiny [word] to make it more clear:
Hands-on review [of] Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse — what a wonderful night to have a curse
Notice how much easier it is to isolate the name of the game, and the lack of capitalization makes it faster to read. At least in my opinion.

I don’t like it when titles that contain names of things have all their words’ initials capitalized. I find my brain having to work hard to find the last word in the name. Partly because title grammar in general is so convoluted, as well.

also certify that it belongs to Example Ltd.
I thought that was the whole point of a certificate, to show that the website belongs to the company? Or nah?

on [AIP] NoteTrace v1.0.0 released: First Stable Release, Wear OS App, Offline Everywhere in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 5d ago
Good eye, but I find that part of the rule to be rather odd. It’s like saying you can’t seed your own Blu-ray rip before seeding someone else’s Blu-ray rip first, when it’s actually the spreading of the movie itself that everyone wants. At least in my mind.
Is there a good rationale for this part of the rule?

Interesting, that’s quite the list. I suppose that’s natural regarding a relatively new form of financial business?

Anything to share regarding that? I’m curious.

on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer in c/games@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
I prefer their remakes, not gonna lie. Improvements to gameplay QoL here and there, good looking graphics, better frame rates(!).
And I grew up with NES and N64. I know what it was like. The slow frame rate is a big source of frustration for me, personally. But upgraded visuals are a big plus to me also.

on Bun 1.4 Rust rewrite is not looking good • Tero Piirainen in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4 Sep 2026
One nice thing about bun was/is that you can feed it TypeScript files directly, to run them locally. No need to transpile first. Much like deno.

But yeah, generative AI has so many environmental and ethical issues that I am totally and wholly against its use in most cases, but you made a fair point and that should be recognized.

You are on Lemmy so defending AI use will net you down votes. I am an anti-AI person, practically, but you make a very fair and objective point. 👍 I up vote you, not because I agree with AI use but because this is a proper point to make in a proper discussion, which is what this place should be about.
Kudos.

I didn’t say the CEO of Proton was a Nazi, lol.
I think you misunderstood how they were similar to each other. Not the Nazi part, but how people don’t easily forget things that break their trust.

Kind of like that Nazi salute people just can’t seem to forget, gosh.
