yep exactly - the plant alone is only part of the infra spend, and there's so much else that matters too

it's just such a fucking terrible way of doing this, and it sucks

imagine how fucking terrible it must be to be in this room

(and I won't lie: there's definitely a moment that Inglorious Basterds briefly flashed to mind)

ADQ any% speedruns

(A = assholes)

has to? sigh

it makes me so deeply fucking depressed knowing how much near-abandon infrastructure spending is happening. minor win is that power plants can work for other things too, but it still runs headlong into a pile of other issues (transmission network, generation method side effects, etc etc)

holy shit, across 3 comments you did a full distributed darvo

stellar example of shitheadery so early on a sunday!

oh my dearie me, I shall have to clutch my motherfuckin pearls

so it's been observed by many that github's been getting worse for a while as they keep shoving copilot into every corner

with the upgrade diff review, I wanted to quickly fold closed the 485 files in the diff. I could've sworn github's diff view used[0] to have a button for this, and I know bitbucket does[1], but nope. so of course I open browser inspector to dig at elements (then quickly iterate over them with .click() in the js console)

which is when I noticed that even the elements are renamed for copilot:

<copilot-diff-entry data-file-path=".cargo/config.toml">

which both makes me wonder my memory is right and this did used to have a button that was just overlooked in the rush for terrible chatbot shit, and makes me boggle at how astoundingly far the org is deepthroating this nonsense

[0] it's been a few years of no longer actively using github

[1] fairly recently for client work

good lord, I barely get to look at the sub for a few weeks and a whole fresh new era of people too short for the ride show up

thanks for your valuable and insightful contribution, I'm sure we would've been utterly at sea without it. simply marooned on the high seas of software, adrift and helpless. thank you, 0_o7, for your sage advice! you have saved us!

wait, hang on. no. the other thing.

e: see, the really great part about your comment is that I can instantly tell you have no fucking idea what you're talking about, especially given history. but sure, go off. I'm sure you're just so very good at what you do.

ah, cool. so, themes? the thing that almost every software out there makes as a lightweight pluggable?

not lemmy, no. in lemmy you recompile your app to get 'em. (source)

(edit: there's a special kind of thinking that goes into writing code this manner. this is pluggable (see extra_themes_dir) but consider the thinking that goes into writing code like this. "some bits static", with a maintenance burden and a recompile overhead. it's just absolutely fucking dumb)

what is the decision process there

why think at all if you can just tread water and iterate 37 times instead?

(I don't really know what the thinking is, can only see the outcomes. but it's some hella mediocre no-effort shit, punching through the problem)

here's a straight copy from one of my notes:
