I thought I would just chime in here if I am allowed. I looked for an official Facebook lemmy but couldn’t find one.

I have become a bit satisfied with Facebook as of late. They used to allow tools for embedding social pages into private websites and whilst technically they still do their level of support for such seems to have plummeted to non existent. I don’t know if that is a conscious effort by Meta to close down forum support or whether it is because they are moving more towards a “pay to play” business model. This in, my opinion, suddenly erects a huge barrier to entry, to even get started developing with their platform. It would seem to me it would have been more prudent, as a business model, to provide free support to get started but start charging when their products are established or at least have some way to talk to a support person.

What I am saying, in a roundabout way, is maybe the world is ready for a decent alternative, even in the business space, and Facebook no longer seems to be it. I really can’t understand how their support has collapsed so badly for developers.

How many rooms is that and how much percentage of the average wage would that be?

That sounds so StackOverflow

That’s when I go back to ChatGPT or Google Bard. It’s helped me with problems and less aggravation than SO

AI exists because not everyone frequents a low toxicity forum like Lemmy.

I think SO has had people hallucinating for some time but it wasn’t AI driven

Like toxic mods

Probably the same data that ChatGPT or Google Bard has been trained on which to me makes the distinction moot

Agreed. I got ChatGPT to convert python code to JavaScript and I got a buggy code sample back with new bugs.

I understand Google and Microsoft getting into it as it makes sense as a “better” Google search but for StackOverflow that sounds like they have just given up on their current platform.

I tried postman and came to the same conclusion as you. I couldn’t figure it out at all. I downloaded an app for android called “ApI Tester”. I might try out ThunderClient, which others have suggested, if it works on Linux.

I thought Erlang superceded it?

I’m not Canadian nor do I live in Canada however I have been following Canadian issues for some time now and am thinking about joining CanadaPolitics. I am from New Zealand (hence my username). I would like to interact with average Canadians to find out what life is like over there. Don’t panic, I am not thinking of emigrating there. I understand you have a housing crisis over there at the moment. I watch a lot of Canadian YouTube channels. My interest is more about what life is like over there.

I suppose I should mention I am a long time Reddit user which looks like it is imploding these days.

As I am new here are there any rules I should know about?
