It really seems like they are tying to tackle two issues at once here (LLM training on reddit data, revenue from 3rd party apps) and they aren't doing a great job at communicating why they are making the API changes. It doesn't help that the company has a history of making empty promises, so nobody trusts a word they say.

I went through that thread before everything went dark, the sentiment in there was very anti-protest and pro-reddit. I'm pretty sure I saw an upvoted comment saying bad things about the Apollo dev.

I couldn't tell if people were genuine or if there was some manipulation going on in the thread by admins or otherwise.

I hope things have turned around in there, but knowing the hivemind effect it probably hasn't.

Hey, thanks for all the time, effort, and money it's taken and taking to set up and maintain your instance. Really appreciate it.

holy hell

They haven't actually done QA, they just didn't code in any space insects.

One option is to get a mastodon client/account and follow a user's Lemmy address. A funny interaction of being in the fediverse :)

I'm doing my part!

While I like my Ultimate Wireless 2.4g for its ability to wake the switch, I find my Pro 2 to be more versatile (d-input and Mac input Bluetooth options) and more comfortable to use.

Though the pro 2 doesn't have hall effect sensors, so who knows how long my analog sticks will last.

I use weawow. Lots of options for where to source the data and the widget options are great.

Always open to try new things, though.

Thanks for sharing, this (with tokenization) is a great way to explain it to people who don't understand LLMs.

Imo it is, the three distinct paths on towers and the balance patches lead to many different play styles. A dwnside is that unlocking stuff will take a little time.

Number 5 implies this is an evolved starter... What does it evolve into?

If you open this post from Mastodon, are the hashtags active there?

You can follow a Lemmy account from Mastodon, but afaik there's no following users on Lemmy from Lemmy.

Sorry but I'm not sure you're going to get any good ray tracing experience for less than $300.

AMD probably has the best general use GPU in that price range.

Intel probably has the best (with a big asterisk due to driver and directx issues) gaming GPU in that price range.

It's just hard to recommend buying a GPU right now imo.

The ELI5 thread yesterday where someone was asking about what was happening looked very similar to this. Nearly everyone in that thread was saying the reddit app was great and people woild be back after the protest. The upvotes just seemed fake to me, is all. One upvoted comment even said the apollo dev was lying, which confused me. Was that spez? Who knows.

I don't know nothing matters

Oof, ouch. Good post.

I can't speak for the KingKong other than that I have a friend who has one and loved it enough to buy another.

I can speak for the 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless and Pro2.

Although the ultimate wireless is the better wireless controller for latency (2.4ghz) and most features (hall effect sensors, ability to wake the switch) - I still prefer my Pro 2. I find the triggers less fatiguing for long sessions of racing games and the controller is the most comfortable I've ever used. Plus, the convenience of having a switch on the back for 4 (though I've only used 3) Bluetooth compatibility profiles is so convenient, it's the controller I bring with me when going to a friend's because I know that as long as they don't use playstation I can use my controller.

The positioning for the dpad on the Pro2 also makes Tetris much more comfortable.

Both controllers are great though, it would probably come down to whichever one was more comfortable in your hands.

In this same spot.
