Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

You have a resume that puts your knowledge further than 99% of CS graduates, myself included when I graduated it sounds like. That doesn’t mean stupid hiring managers or HR department’s understand that though. Many places will auto dump your resume without a degree. Just being realistic.

I guess the question if you love both is do you want to break for back working on cars or sit in an air conditioned office writing uninteresting code most of the time.

There’s no real reason not to go to school even already having the knowledge. You learn a lot more than just CS and those in major classes would likely be a breeze for you. And you’ll get an opportunity to learn things you probably haven’t studied in the higher level courses.

You’ll also get to actually focus on other things and take some really interesting courses along the way. You’re gonna work til you’re 60+. Take advantage of being 18 for a while before you go into the real world

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

In my experience which has been since vanilla and still playing the big guilds are just as bad as no guild. Guilds that have multiple teams can just lose people in the shuffle and become a logistical nightmare. If you’re new to raiding look for an AOTC guild that runs 1 team where everyone can get to know each other.

I assume someone reading this won’t know what aotc is - it’s an achievement for killing the final boss of the raid on heroic. It can be done very casually over the course of a tier.

Why do the people you grow up loving for their music make you hate them for their politics. It’s literally free for them all to just stfu

Showing the reason you edit a post isn't dumb, its to give a valid reason so people don't think you edited to make someones response look bad. Saying its for context, adding a word or whatever just shows you didn't edit it maliciously.

The whole "edit: thanks for gold and I can't believe my most upvoted comment was about editing!" can go away for sure though

That’s a great article thanks for linking it.

I’m curious how many other tools have been silently killed like that or destroyed that we’ll never know about.

I’m still shocked about the mastodon integration… “free” services make users the product so how does allowing anyone without an account to interact with your platform make sense monetarily if you don’t have some nefarious long game in mind.

Funny enough, this post is still "submitting" Image of the submit button still spinning on this post

This truthfully reminds me of the oldschool forums quite a bit right now. A smaller user base and being able to participate without being buried immediately by thousands of other posts and get some engagement is nice. Its also nice not to see the same thing on my main page in 12 different subs being reposted to karma whore.

The recent stuff was the extra little kick I needed to go somewhere else and stop scrolling infinitely.
