It is subjective, I liked the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

Voyager is indeed a really good app for Lemmy. It is based on Apollo app which was the best, and IMO, the only sensible way to browse Reddit on iOS.
I am glad @aeharding@vger.social had a working version ready merely days after the new TOS came into effect.
I have been using it since it was called Wefwef (which I still feel was a better name, more playful), and I liked it so much that I use it on my Android phone as well as my iOS daily driver.

I only completed the game towards the end of last year or start of this year, and have been itching to play more of it.
I can only imagine how excruciating the wait has been for those who finished the game back in 2017/2018.

Love the dramatics.
This ancient one has learned the art of pragmatism. A little time in the trenches of enterprise development can do that – turn passionate ideals into practical choices.
Some days it’s C++, some days it’s Java, Python and so on. In the end, the code compiles, and the ancient one get paid.

I clicked in to mention the same thing.
Seems like it has been AI upscaled or generated.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
I might have agreed a decade or two ago, when I knew no better. But today, I find the tribalism surrounding programming languages comical.
I don’t particularly like Java, but I use it because it pays the bills. Similarly, I use C++ (which I prefer) when my work requires it.
- Comment on Anon tries programming in Java 1 week ago:
Now a days many businesses choose Go.
Many companies may choose something other than Java, but Java is still the behemoth.
Such a decision is taken when the company is completely new or if it is a green field project.
Even in the case of the latter, companies just choose to stick with their existing tech (read: expertise and experience of their tech teams)…
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 2 weeks ago:
Batman V Superman from 2016.
My local theatre had an early early show: an early morning premiere, a day earlier than the official release date.
In spite of the, frankly, stupid trailer #2, I was still excited to see the first live action movie with Batman and Superman with my fellow nerds.
We came out of the theatre thinking it was a good movie, with Lex Luthor’s shenanigans aside (mannerisms, maintaining tabs on meta humans with well designed logos, etc.).
I specifically remember appreciating and talking about the movie’s score (Hans Zimmer), cinematography (Larry Fong), and costumes (Michael Wilkinson and Ironhead Studios).
While driving back, one of us checked the reviews and box office indications, and it was abysmal. It was so horrible that there was unspoken agreement between to never talk about it again in public.
I still like the movie, and like the Ultimate Edition even more. But strongly disliked all the movies that followed in that franchise.

Not just song lyrics, but any piece of media
rant
This is horribly rampant issue on Reddit. Swaths of comments reduced to three-word dialogues from movies that even most Americans may not have seen. While it might be acceptable in a community specific to that piece of media, it always comes across as lazy everywhere else. A simple link to a relevant clip or snippet would help contextualise the reference, but if commenters were willing to put in that effort, they probably wouldn’t resort to quoting three-word phrases in the first place.
Unfortunately, this practice is becoming common on Lemmy.
Some might see my rant as gatekeeping, but it genuinely hinders meaningful discussion on the topic at hand.
It is a pet peeve of mine that led me to unsubscribe from many, otherwise good, subreddits and eventually leave that platform altogether (thanks to a push from its CEO).

Yikes. I am yet to play the game but I knew Joel dies in the second one, as it almost felt like a setup for his death was built-in.
However, I wasn’t aware of Sony going to such lengths to misdirect the game’s players.
Thanks a lot for sharing the context.
P.S. you might want to fix the formatting for the spoilers as it is currently not hidden.

Thanks for sharing the insight. Apparently, it was a speed run hack on Xbox for an old SpongeBob game.
So, there’s some precedent set in the field of computer peripheral licking to improve results.

Given most software engineers develop in a cloud environment, I would… I mean my friend would have to shove their head into a server rack that is consuming high amounts of wattage. My friend would then have to try reaching for the motherboard by extending their tongue.
The only problem I see here is travelling to the data centre which are often in different countries or continents. I am not sure if their employer would cover that expense.

A quick question, should the software engineer lick the monitor screen or the keyboard?
I… uh… am asking for a friend who is a software engineer.
I am a butterfly instructor.

- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - December 2023 11 months ago:
Hades.
Having just finished Hollow Knight (in fact, I mentioned starting it in one of the previous Weekly Discussion threads ), I find Hades to be a bit too repetitive. But I don’t want to make the same mistakes I did with Hollow Knight and give up early.
I will give this game a few more days before forming a conclusive opinion.
Speaking of Hollow Knight, I am glad I didn’t give up yet again. The game really opens up after the first few boss fights, and it was really fun exploring the lore, levelling up, and going through some of the bosses. ****
