that's both unreasonable and not the right way to approach this. Your assumption is that if you knew the names of all possible processes that you could then be in a position to make better decisions. the problem is names are useless - it's trivial for software to run under different names, so believing names can help you somehow is a waste of time.

been fully remote since 2008. It was fun to watch everyone else learn how to do that :)

yea that should have been linked in the post itself. was quite confused what you were talking about.
Also - that's freaking hilarious and my hats off to the mod team of that sub. This has nothing to do with you using the delete scripts.

Gaiman's narrations are fantastic. Add Neverwhere to the list above!

sorta. what is at issue here is that the actions in question are after he held the office. that isn't a trivial difference.

lemmy may have growth pains, but I don't expect reddit exit to be a crash more than a slow burn.

can't tell if that's flippant or just uninformed. Reddit data was a significant component of the development of most big name LLMs.

I've been doing this too, but, why do they show up in the first place if I'm not subscribed to them?
funkyb 1y ago • 100%
Sure, but shouldn't we also need to subscribe to communities/mags from these instances? I know i see lots from .de domains in my feed, but I am not subscribed to any of the communities/mags on the instances those posts originate from.

Brand safety as an idea isn't dangerous, and there's an entire sub-industry in the adTech space devoted to it. The bottom line is most companies don't want their ads showing up on sites or in close proximity to certain types of content (illegal, political, hate speech, etc.). Services from these companies are used to make sure when doing ads on the open web, your DSP doesn't inadvertently put your ads in places like that. One example: https://integralads.com/solutions/brand-safety-suitability/

I think what he meant was that means they're buying ads, not selling them.

I get your point, but keeping it in the news and dialog outside of reddit is also good, and that is more likely to happen due to things going on inside of it.

good grief i hope not. Email & captcha are reasonable; a short form essay on why you should be graced with the ability to participate is super cringe.

meh, I don't mind it. Add the content you want to add. Scroll on past the content you don't want to read. It's not a big deal.

fair but the issue has never been about charging for API usage, it's how much they're charging for it. Not sure if you're implying that a single app using the API should pay enough to double reddit's total API operating costs for all apps, but if so, that's pretty unreasonable.

Agreed. they also know RES only works as long as old.reddit.com works, and once that's done, desktop is shit.
Reddit is used to brawls between its 57 million daily users. Now its keyboard warriors are directing their ire at its CEO, Steve Huffman. Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s so-called subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature.

The same twitter that has gone in the shithole and is so bad that they're literally getting courts to order their eviction for not paying rent.
In his first interview since thousands of subreddits went dark in protest, Huffman said he is not going to reverse his plan to start charging for outside access to Reddit data.
Reddit is redirecting some impressions away from existing communities, and some advertisers are pausing campaigns.
