    Only if they include the link.

    I prefer the screenshot to a webpage because

    1. If it’s a shit site, I don’t want to give it clicks and revenue

    2. News sites have a history of manipulating the title over and more to maximize views

    3. Images are easy to scan within the Lemmy app. Versus kicking me to a browser that has to fetch data somewhere.




  • I’d do a new registrar either way.

    I’ve worked at hosting companies in the past. I don’t know the timeline, but I’ve never encountered a situation where one folded this fast and just take down a client’s site over a copyright claim.

    And our clients, because of the nature of the internet being the internet, a small percentage were real scumbag folks, who while the content was objectionable and disgusting, it wasn’t illegal. Which means it stayed up.

    • If there was something highly illegal like csam or dark web stuff and it came from a federal agency, we’d take down the site immediately.

    • If it was a strong letter from a legal entity that we trusted, we would pass that to the client and recommend remediation. No takedown unless there was a court order.

    • If it was a weak letter from a random legal entity, we lol’ed and wait for the threat of a lawsuit/court order. This was surprisingly extremely common.

    So wtf is this registrar doing to shit on their clients so fast without a court order?








  • In 2000s, website builders were supposed to make websites so easy, a grandma could make a website. Look how that turned out.

    Also right now, I could argue that as a engineer, i can use AI to create mockups and I don’t need a designer. But designers aren’t going anywhere.

    Devs/designers using AI to support our workflow is going to be the norm.


  • Don’t put too much trust in so called “certificates” from these schools.

    Absolutely this.

    During an interview, an applicant bragged about how he was at the top of his class in computer science and could not stop mentioning his GPA. I turned off my video because I couldn’t stop laughing.

    His portfolio was dogshit too.


  • We just hired a former musician who spent his 20s-30s in a band, and his 40s playing in dive bars.

    He took a 2 year bootcamp and he’s currently one of my juniors in his 50s. He told me the salary at the junior level was 2x more than he ever made.

    Maybe he’s lucky. But if you’re obsessed with programming, you’ll make it. It’s a tough industry right now. But in two years, who knows? Maybe they’ll be a hiring spree again.














  • “Mr. Black is a very, very congenial and a jovial person when you talk to him,” said Afton Police Chief Jason Romberg. “He warms his way and you think, ‘What can we do to help you?’”

    However, eight years ago, the 91-year-old man was diagnosed with dementia.

    I experienced a few folks who had dementia. I’d have some great convos about very specific topics. Then suddenly everything goes 180 and treat me like a stranger or repeat the same things.

    Without another person helping them, it’s really rough.




  • Id say a 1/3 of the games had NESHard energy. Some reviewers even said the first game listed was probably the worst experience for someone to play and starts people off with a bad taste.

    I forced myself to play single game and absolutely found 10 games that were fascinating.

    I also wonder if I approached it from a budding game developer, and how they recreated some modern experiences in a pure NES environment.


  • Also, playing the bundle at the same time as a friend is a nice experience! You start talking about what games you’ve tried and give each other hints and stuff.

    This is an experience I wish I can have. I feel like a middle schooler again as I play each game, wanting to go to my pals and go nonstop about what I found.
