I think a lot of people here aren’t looking at this in the right way:

They don’t have to accept accounts for student or let students interact. This can be an alternative system for disseminating announcements with optional mechanisms for feedback. All they need to do is federate and then any of their students subscribe.

I’ve been wishing that my my governments (at all levels) would do this so I can get notified of things like changes to bus schedules or closures of highways and shit.

Elitist neckbeards like you are why Mastodon and Lemmy are still boring

I know the image post was hyperbole, but the way y’all are gushing over it is borderline religious, in an unsettling way.

Immediately, you call boilerplate a Big Deal and identify yourself as a zealot. Even in Java, a notoriously verbose and boilerplate laden language, it’s a Small Deal unless you’re doing something insane. Let me guess, your coding in VI or something.

Rust looks great. It’s a bunch of small improvements over most languages. But True Believers of any lang need to chill the fuck out.

Yes, both for this and future weekends

Anyone anything else

Yeah, I picked that username for a reason 😭

Omg DOUBLE PEEN

Lol peen

I said it was better, just not much better.

The maintenance costs of equals is nearly zero. Scrolling over boilerplate seems like a real stretch, like saying a novel with a picture every chapter is harder to read.

I like that you can’t accidentally forget to update it, which is kinda nice but is rarely a concern.
And it’s a bit more readable, which is nice.
It’s better, but folks are talking like it’s Super Jesus and I think it’s more like finding a dollar in the parking lot.

It’s like 5 seconds to regenerate it. Boilerplate doesn’t matter, just collapse it. The only real issue is remembering to update it, if you make a change.

Like I said, I prefer for rust does it, it’s just not a big deal

Why did you even bring up AI? IDEs have been able to generate equality functions for decades without AI.

It’s kinda neat to have this defined directly in the language so that compilers can implement it, but creating equality function is so low effort that this doesn’t really seem like a big deal.

Like, you define the members in a class, then you tell your IDE to generate getters, constructor, equals, hashcode, etc all in like 5 seconds.
I like it, it’s nice when the language itself defines reasonable defaults for things, but realistically you’re saving yourself a few seconds of effort.

I mean, if your IDE does it for you, is it really that much better that it’s shorter?

There are so few native desktop apps these days, it’s all on the web.
And the browser can glean a lot more about user interaction than just web traffic, like where you hover, what parts of the page you’re interacting with, etc.
That’s why I said that (combined with phone), Google probably knows more.

But it’s probably a pretty close competition

This is America and in free to pee on whoever I want to! /s

The fact that you deleted the post for “misinformation” shows that you’re a joke of a mod.
The fact that you’re still a mod shows that Lemmy is a joke of a platform.
The fact that you’re still so butthurt over it shows that you’re a joke of a person.

Do grow up, will you?

I’ve seen enough EMT Tiktok to know that I need a flared base.

So I’ma have to go with screwball but upside down

I feel like MS and Google should be switched. Web probably has more harvestable info. Plus phones.
