Nikita LisitsaNew blog post! I really hope I'll get a decent amount of people mad with this one 😈😈😈
It's OK to compare floating-points for equality:

mirabilos@lisyarus but what’s it about to justify leaving the Fedi client for a webbrowser? For all I know it could be about, idk, reproduction of snails (Fedi is weird so…).
No description, no teaser, not even a title, and no speaking URL either (if it is speaking, don’t truncate it when you post).
This doesn’t entice me, I have to say:
@mirabilos Well, you're entirely free not to read it, then!
@mirabilos Thanks for the tip (really), I'm not using a dedicated client and just using a web browser, which shows the link preview, which has a post title. And, to be honest, it's the first time I see someone complain about this.
It's just that the tone of your reply looked rather...ill-intentioned to me? You could say "Tip: in some clients you don't see a link preview, so the users don't know what the post is about", but you said (with intentional emotional paraphrasing to make it clear what I'm trying to convey) "I don't like it, you made a bad thing, I'm not gonna read it, it's bad".
@mirabilos No problem, neither am I 😅
