Decisions like this just prove how massive the market for a self-hostable alternative is. They're not banning it because it's a bad tool, they're banning it because they're concerned about what happens to the source code their engineers paste into it.

There are already a bunch of OSS attempts, and it likely won't take long until we have something of comparable quality to ChatGPT is available for companies to host on their own hardware.

Owning a car if you need one is not in itself a problem. "fuckcars" isn't about blindly hating cars, it's about being aware that cars are inefficient, dangerous, and bad for people's health. It's about raising awareness about how car-centric and car-dependent society has become, despite there being better ways to structure transportation.

Wir müssen nur technologieoffen genug sein, dann wird sich das schon von alleine regeln.

I would have agreed with you if it had just been the API changes, but the recent behaviour from admins is extremely alienating. All they needed to do to fix this situation is strike a deal with app developers and say sorry. The protest would have been over in a day and things would have largely gone back to normal.

Instead, they dug in their heels and behaved like insecure little tyrants. They lie, they force mods out of their subs, they undelete comments, etc. There's no trust left between admins and community, and in the long run that's going to kill the website.

The thing that makes reddit great is the user created content. That content is provided by a tiny minority, while the vast majority just consumes.

Most of the people creating the content care about the platform, and they will leave if they are alienated enough. That's not even mentioning the thousands of hours of unpaid mod work. You might find some power-hungry replacements for the bigger subs, but the quality of mods will decrease, which will make the community worse in the long run.

If they continue on this path, reddit will end up like 9gag. There'll be content, but very little of it will be original, and it won't be all that interesting for targeted advertising like it currently is.

It won't disappear, but it certainly won't be a multi-billion dollar company.

The crucifixion and "rebirth" of Jesus. I'm not religious, but I'd be curious what actually happened.

It's probably one of the most influential events in modern human history and while the truth of it is probably very boring, I'd still like to know.

Do you have a source on this? 5 days ago the message was "P.S. old.reddit.com isn’t going anywhere".

Unrelated to the article, but I've never heard of defector before, and I spend the last hour crawling through and reading a couple articles. Seems like a fantastic little site (and apparently worker owned?). I don't care much about most of the sports articles, but the other stuff is great. Thanks for posting!

Im Vergleich zu bisherigen Berechnungen gehen die Autoren von einer Steigerung zwischen 10 und 40 Prozent aus. Diese könnten sogar noch höher ausfallen, wenn die generativen KIs direkt in Software integriert werden würde. Dadurch stünde mehr Arbeitszeit zur Verfügung, die für andere Aufgaben genutzt werden könne.

Ich hasse den Kapitalismus. Statt die höhere Produktivität als Grund zu sehen, die Arbeitszeiten bei gleicher Bezahlung zu reduzieren, geht es ausschließlich darum, die gewonnene Zeit "für andere Aufgaben" zu nutzen.

Jedes Jahr steigt die Anzahl der Burnouts, gefühlt jeder hat Depressionen, aber Hauptsache die Profite steigen weiter, alles andere ist egal.

We're not some kind of cult setting rules for how people should live. If you need a car, buy a car, if you want to own some kind of ridiculous lifted truck, you can do that, but I'll reserve the right to make fun of you and think you're an asshole.

Ist das nicht einfach ein Zyklus?

Erstwähler fallen auf die Lügen der FDP rein, die FDP regiert, und alle merken wie katastrophal die Partei ist. Bei der nächsten Wahl kratzt die FDP an der 5% Hürde, es ist zwei Legislaturperioden Stille während die FDP einmal kräftig durch routiert.

Spitzenkräfte treten ihre Posten bei Aufsichtsräten an, die sie sich während ihrer Regierungszeit "erarbeitet" haben, eine neue Generation kommt an die Macht, die neuen jungen Wähler können sich nicht an die alte FDP erinnern und es geht von vorne los.

My little conspiracy theory on this: I wouldn't be surprised if every intelligence agency in Europe knew how did it, but no one is going to tell, and we're not going to find out for years.

An attack on critical infrastructure like this is essentially an act of war, and nobody in Europe wants to escalate this conflict any more by admitting they know who's responsible.

If it was Ukraine, it would result in public outcry, and we'd basically be forced to cease any military support. If it was Russia, it's an act of war and there'd be public pressure in the other direction, maybe even enough to make us officially declare war. If it was the US, there'd be pressure for at the very least some pretty severe diplomatic consequences.

Nobody in European governments wants any of those results right now. Everybody is content to just leave it be and an article like this pointing blame at one of the three every couple of months is the only thing we'll hear on it until it gets declassified in 50 years when it doesn't matter anymore.

I don't disagree, but there's a big difference between "it might stop working sometime in the future, there's no way to know for sure" and "it will stop working somewhere around the date the API changes are made".

The first is a good guess, the second is just flat out wrong. Look, I don't like the reddit admins any more than the next guy, but there's no need to resort to straight up lying.

I'm not familiar with the details of the CCPA, but AFAIK under GDPR you need to actually request the deletion of data by invoking article 17. Just going through your account and deleting posts is not the same thing.

Also, this only applies to "personal data". You'd probably need to ask a lawyer if posts on reddit can be deemed to be personal data on principle, but IMO as long as the posts don't contain any personal identifiable data themselves, it should be enough to remove the username linked to the data like reddit is currently doing if you delete your account. The data would then no longer be linked to an individual and therefore would no longer be personal data.

IANAL, this is just my personal interpretation and I might very well be wrong.

On weekdays, mostly in bed before going to sleep.

On the weekends, I do longer bike rides and take my E-Reader. I listen to audiobooks while riding and then stop at a nice spot in the shade and just read for an hour or two before I move on to the next spot or ride back home.

It is a historical event. Jesus was a real person, and there are a lot of sources - outside the bible - about him as a person and his crucifixion.

That's my entire point. I'd like to know the truth behind the religion. I find it absolutely fascinating how historical events get warped over time to become a religion that billions of people still believe in today.

I'm not a historian, but Tacitus definitely mentioned Jesus' crucifixion. Saying there are a "a lot" of source is an exaggeration, you're right about that, but there's basically no doubt that Jesus was a real, historical figure. (I'm not saying that you're disputing that, I'm just still stuck on the guy actually thinking that Jesus wasn't real.)

Obviously Christian sources can't be taken at face value, but there's enough corroborating evidence - be it archaeological or written - that proves that at least some of the things in the gospels are based on facts, even if it's certainly embellished and a lot of it likely just made up and/or warped over time.

This looks pretty good, and I wouldn't mind paying for search, but it seems really pricy. I've never counted how many searches I do, but it's definitely more than 10 a day. $10 a month seems like a lot for just search...

Personally, I think the biggest challenge with documentation is keeping it up to date.

The only way I've found to be actually up-to-date on docs is to do GitOps and have self-documenting code. That way every change being made is automatically documented with a commit message.

If you can't do that because your tools aren't GitOps compatible, you need management to enforce some kind of documentation rule. Like every time a system gets touched, documentation needs to be updated. A project isn't complete until docs are done/updated.

This is easily said, but in practice it's just not going to happen. You need a team that both actually wants to this, and has the time to do it.

Do we know for sure that deleted content on reddit is actually deleted? It's not unheard of for things to just get a "deleted" flag in the database to stop displaying them, while still keeping the original content. Restoring deleted content would be fairly simply if that were the case.
