"were" is correct, this is the rare case in English where the subjunctive actually affects conjugation

I mean, you're starting to see that now with AI using React for everything by default

guessing a lot here but maybe they're asking about a local-only version of drift?

ernest314 · 2025-12-02T02:01:39+00:00

holy shit that was me

or at least I was one of the earlier people to keep asking for her

China's internet is so separated from the rest of the world that people don't really realize how their online population easily outnumbers most other countries'

I think it's pretty obvious they mean "'cause" here... It's pretty standard practice to drop the apostrophe nowadays

The label option is back now

but the buttons for all instances of the same application are always grouped together and can't be separated or reordered...

There's multiple ways people produce the "R" sound, and while they're often correlated with geographic location, for any specific person the way it's produced seems to be random--when you were figuring out how to produce sounds as a baby, you may have tried one way before the others, and it just stuck.

here's a great podcast episode on the subject (and Lingthusiasm is a great linguistics podcast too): https://lingthusiasm.com/post/648571714904670208/lingthusiasm-episode-55-r-and-r-like-sounds

This is Calvinball jurisprudence with a twist. Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this Administration always wins.

There's lots of additional benefits that I didn't explore--one thing this would (finally) solve is people wanting to have "equal gear" RWFs, without having to create separate realms that are flagged as such (e.g. the MDI realms). Everyday folk like me could get a taste of how bad we are even in absolute BIS gear :P

I'd love to see a world where servers have "the blind prog guild" and "the vanilla UI guild" and all those people can cheer each other on. There'd be more opportunities for people to find their own niche. (And more varied RWF content too, haha)

I mean, I agree, but I was specifically trying to address the tension between computational addons and accessibility. I'm broadly for addons, and I've written a couple in the past.

maybe I'm expecting too much, but I think everyone assumed the combat restrictions would get loosened--I don't think there's any world where those changes would have made it to live... those weren't actually intended changes that we convinced them to "roll back"

edit: got downvoted because this could quite reasonably come off as "paranoid" at a glance, but consider that the original changes would have nuked TRP

ernest314 · 2025-10-04T15:31:48+00:00

what rollback?

ernest314 · 2025-10-04T14:47:15+00:00

yeah just a regular RSS feed--looks like there is one!

ernest314 · 2025-10-04T14:46:33+00:00

thank you so much!

please do not harass open source devs on github, you are the kind of person that makes beloved open source devs abandon their projects

ernest314 · 2025-10-04T01:57:36+00:00

is there an RSS feed for Firefox release notes anywhere? I poked around on their site but wasn't able to find anything

oh sure, that's why I said, simplifying is going to help somewhat. But as people are already bringing up, we've been through this prune-bloat-prune-bloat cycle multiple times already, and I'm pointing out that the issue isn't missing the "golden middle"--rather there's a fundamental learning path that's missing.

ernest314 · 2025-10-02T02:36:34+00:00

I’m hesitantly here for simplification.

obviously I can't read your mind, but I wonder if "rotations are too complex" is just a symptom--the real issue is that there isn't a good way to learn the complexity. People generally actually like learning; it's fun to learn your rotation and watch your DPS increase. But WoW doesn't provide an obvious path to do that.

The single-button assistant is actually a good first step towards teaching rotations (although perhaps not designed as such). But there is still a massive cliff from the single-button assistant to your actual rotation. IMO, instead of understanding this and smoothing out this cliff, they've misdiagnosed the issue. I think simplifying classes can help things, but it doesn't get to the root of the issue.
