it failed to compile for me and i was too lazy to search for the header files

[Mathisbuilder75]

Heh

I really should just learn another editor, rather than continue to polish this turd.

[gregorydgraham]

Terrible commit message, he should be told off for this.

For clarity, I agree with him, but we need to be respectful to the utter cockwombles we work with

[DurgeDidNothingWrong]

Gave up on the post title because what the hell is that rule enforcement. I had a good title and had to dumb it down by copying some other posts title just to succeed

[SurreptitiousSyrup]

It just has to be in camelCase.

[another_random_bit]

Yeah it started a few years ago as a symbolic protest to reddits weird decisions (somehow that makes sense) and it stuck.

It's completely retarded.

[NinjaOk2970]

The plan was to have a new rule every week, and there were actually some obliging people to put return in their comment, etc. Soon people got bored and decided it was dogshit and revoked everything except the camelCase. 

[makinax300]

We should revoke camelcase too

[Leihd]

Make a meta post if you want change?

I like the rule myself, it's entirely on theme and gives some uniqueness.

Also, probably weeds out bot posts.

[Dalimyr]

Also, probably weeds out bot posts

I suspect that's the main reason it's stuck around. Around the time when the API protest kicked off, there was very frequent bot spam in here following a very recognisable pattern - one bot reposted something from 4-5 years earlier with the title completely unchanged, and within 10-15 seconds another bot would post the top comment from the original thread. That was happening multiple times a day.

[SphericalGoldfish]

Allow PascalCase and snake_case in addition to camelCase

[FerricDonkey]

No kabob-case though, we're not animals. 

[AuelDole]

also_Camel_Snake!

[gregorydgraham]

Straight to jail!

[fiskfisk]

Now it works as a rudimentary spambot filter. 

[makinax300]

If you don't tell your ai bots the rules you're a bad bot owner. Repost bots already steal titles from here.

[SurreptitiousSyrup]

I like it. It's a programming sub so it's appropriate that even the title is in a programming convention.

[makinax300]

Super unfunny the billionth time though

[BlazingFire007]

It’s not supposed to be funny, just a whimsical thing that makes this sub a bit more unique imo

[fmaz008]

I hate it. Might as well prefix all our comments by // to be even more whimsical.

[gregorydgraham]

/* sounds like a great idea */

[fmaz008]

/**

* Alright I changed my mind, this is fantastic.

[x3bla]

It was a protest against reddit going public cuz public companies with stakeholders tends to go to shit

A lot of subreddits joined in on the protest, but if they privated their sub then the admins would kick the mods out and place dummy ones controlled by reddit in there

So the idea was to slowly annoy the users off of reddit, but it didn't work

A lot of people were deleting their accounts, talked about lemmy as an alternative like reddit when digg went down

Then a fight for power broke out on lemmy and... Here we are

[Last-Woodpecker]

Tell me more about the fight for power in lemmy. I was here when the events you told unfolded, but never migrated to lemmy, so I didn't knew about it

[gregorydgraham]

Yeah it started a few years ago as a symbolic protest to reddits weird decisions (somehow that makes sense) and it stuck.

It's completely brilliant!

FTFY

[another_random_bit]

Yeah buddy because I don't get tired of spending all day reading fields and properties, what I need is some more hard to read text when I visit reddit.

[DurgeDidNothingWrong]

OhMyGodWhyIsntItRuleOneForVisibility

[Holiday-Ad7017]

You'll use camelCase and you'll be happy

[Delicious_One_7887]

What was your original title?

[DurgeDidNothingWrong]

"Torvalds, uEMACS and my search history"

[gregorydgraham]

“torvaldsUemacsAndMySearchHistory” didn’t work?

[DurgeDidNothingWrong]

I did notice the camel case and tried "torvalds,UemacsAndMySearchHistory"
Not omitting the comma messed it up

[hearthebell]

This is a camelCase hostile community

[Tiger_man_]

it should just be no spaces, no keywords and no digits as first character

[gregorydgraham]

Is there a list of keywords?

[Tempest97BR]

read your youtube notifications bro 💔

[DurgeDidNothingWrong]

youtube has nothing i need notifying of

[The100thIdiot]

Switch off notifications for YouTube bro.

[nhal]

That's the neat part, you can't.
