That’s why you should use a native app, which won’t send any of that identifying info (except for IP but there’s nothing you can do on that)

Ironic because it’s literally the same situation that Reddit was going through that caused the migration to Lemmy in the first place

How did they submit changes to only one file? Did they not write a test for it? Sounds like a dodgy patch if it doesn’t have a test

Heck I would settle for just seeing a post from a person once I my feed, instead of seeing the last reply, then other posts, then the second-to-last reply, then after a lot more scrolling finally seeing the original post.

The problem with chronological feeds is that prolific posters in your timezone just take it over and you never see stuff from people in other timezones or infrequent posters.

I used to write a lot of performance-critical Java (oxymoron I know) for wearables, and one time I got a code reviewer who only did server-side Java, and the differences in our philosophies were staggering.

He wanted me to convert all my code to functional style, using optionals and streams instead of simple null checks and array iterations. When explained that those things are slower and take more memory it was like I was speaking an alien language. He never even had to consider that code would be running on a system with limited RAM and CPU cycles, didn’t even understand how that was possible.
