  • or at least add icons like ↑ and ↓ next to it.

    C# in Excel can’t even properly pull values from a table correctly. No way I’m going to waste 2-3 trying to make it concatenate non-alphanumeric characters into cells.

    At work, there isn’t anyone I have to send tables to that is colorblind. And if that changes, they can make a request. Until then, I’m sticking with red/green



  • The Nazi instance that got blocked literally had something adjacent to “nazi” in their url. Fairly clear decision if you ask me. This was a few months ago so I don’t recall the actual server name without digging it up.

    Then there was the Hexbear fiasco, where they decided to federate with us (apparently they have it set up for admins to opt-in to federation instead of opt-out). They ended up swarming all of our communities for 4-5 days with nonstop harassment. Then their admins decided to re-defederate before we could vote on whether to block them. Literally a “you can’t fire me, I quit!” scenario.


  • yeah, I think the email is probably fake and made for internet points / humor

    Eh, you’d be surprised at how far some people will go to criticize women in STEM fields. It’s not everyone, and I doubt it’s even a majority, but there’s enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true.

    Or maybe the OOP is a mathematical Lisa Frank. Idk



  • I migrated during Reddit’s API debacle. I picked sh.itjust.works for several reasons:

    • No email required to sign up (at the time)
    • Hosted the only NonCredibleDefense community on Lemmy (at the time)
    • Had almost no defederated instances (at the time)
    • Consistent uptime (was 99% at the time and still not far off)
    • Hosted in Canada but accepting of US citizens
    • Powered by 98% renewable energy
    • TheDude abides

    While some things have changed like defederating from more servers, it’s left up to a vote by users of the server and the vote doesn’t get proposed unless there’s a good reason (such as a server being Nazi-friendly or constantly harassing/trolling users)
