  • So this is your project? Judging from your username here and the test messages shown in your screenshot here and on the Github. Nemesis.

    Brand new lemmy account with only this post on it.

    And the entire Github codebase is made up of a single commit of all the files 2 hours ago as of the time I’m commenting.

    As I’ve said before with similar posts from (I believe) other users/coders: just be up front about if something you’re posting was your weekend project or just something to fill out a portfolio.


  • And you haven’t responded to any of what I wrote, in order to keep pushing the racism angle. You certainly aren’t doing yourself any favors.

    If you can’t see how posting a thread asking people what they do and what they make could be controversial (even without the potential race angle or the “I make a shit ton of money” angle), you must be very insulated from the world.

    Job markets are crap almost universally, definitely in the US and from what I can gather also in Europe. Average yearly wage for the US was significantly less than a third of what you say you make last I checked. Six figures is a major career goal for most people. Just getting above $100k a year is seen as a pretty big accomplishment. And you’re going to strut in claiming 3.5x that and just go “I see no way how this could be construed as anything but an attempt at conversation”?

    To be fair, I’ve personally known people like you in real life. College friend who was the son of a doctor with his own practice, inviting us out to dinner at a place that “wasn’t too expensive”. At the time (2010), $25 a plate was expensive for working adults, let alone college students.


  • There are a lot of new accounts that post weird questions like this to asklemmy, seemingly trying to bait out strong reactions by including some sort of “twist”.

    Relationship questions, but surprise, it’s an islamic marriage with multiple wives!

    Am I the asshole type question about raising children, but surprise, a buried lede that is right on the edge of “is this person abusing their kid, or just a hardass”?

    Is this a reasonable to expect from my spouse, but surprise, it’s an arranged marriage!

    Most of these posts are deleted within 24 hours, strongly suggesting that there is someone using sockpuppet accounts to bait out engagement. Fuck if I have any clue why. There is a distinct pattern that your post falls into.

    I appreciate that the mods are finally doing something about it, just making a comment to remind people to excercise common sense.

    Lemmy has a bit of a schism with some extreme leftist groups practically worshipping the Russian and Chinese government. So your inclusion of it makes this post appear to be another one of those “slightly engaging, but surprise thing that probably shouldn’t be contreversial but sure will be!” posts.

    And even assuming good faith, this is just a humblebrag thread. “Look at how much I make!”











  • Yes, but it still deserves the question to be asked explicitly. I don’t think most iPhone users looking for a music reccomendation app would assume they’d need to selfhost in order to use an app.

    And again, if as the dev he’s not prepared to set up his own server for use to pass basic testing, it begs the question of what exactly he’s expecting out of his end users and if it’s truly a reasonable ask even if they’re prepared to self host
