I like to use the non-acronym name, so that I can say: "Structured Query Language. Or, with the JSON field type, more like UNSTRUCTURED query language!" And then I laugh like a maniac for 5 minutes while the other people in the line at Wendy's give me weird looks.

 

Frost Giant (Stormgate's developer) released this gameplay footage on Sunday. I'm liking the visuals and the new "siege tank" unit has some potential to improve on SC2's, thoughts?

Same here. It's made my life a whole lot easier since on previous distros, I had to depend on documenting manual hacks I had done.

I'm betting they hit some edge case caused by a particular subreddit going private, or a group of subs going private. I'm sure someone's got a subreddit hard-coded in for health checks or something similar.

Honestly I really don't see much of a future for profit-driven social media. Time and time again we've seen that power over communication is just too much power for an individual company to have. The fediverse makes a lot of sense, but I'm not sure if it's the ultimate end state. It would be very nice if it were

/r/talesfromtechsupport would be great. That and /r/talesfromyourserver have some really entertaining stories that I'll miss reading if it doesn't migrate over.

Absolutely killer... I've been using RiF for nearly a decade now. Guess I'm officially only using Jerboa from now on.

It's sad to read, but perhaps this will be a reckoning for many of the major platforms. There has been a recent trend among corporate software developers to assume that they can simply replicate what third party contributors do for their platform and they don't appreciate the amount of effort it takes to properly replace. I'm hoping that this helps encourage migrations to open-source platforms like Lemmy.
