Reddit CEO Steve Huffman isn’t backing down: our full interview
From https://www.redditinc.com/blog/https-www.redditinc.com-apifacts:
As of now, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open
The 48 hour blackout that was popularized was a complete joke and reminds me of all the corporations that change their social media pictures to pride-themed photos for like 2 days then revert back to not caring at all. Reddit literally did not give two shits about 2 days of ad revenue being gone because they knew it would be back to normal before most people even noticed.

Red Hat: why I'm going all in on community-driven Linux distros.
I'm excited to see what the outcome of SUSE forking RHEL will be.

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
So I have a question for YouTube Premium haters:
How is this any different than what most people pay for both another music service and another video service? It's about half the cost of other music + video services (when combined), even with the increased pricing over the years. I've been paying for YouTube Premium since the awkward Google Play Music transition and it's a bargain, especially when I had my student discount at like $4.99 a month.

Here's how it's going to go down.
(1st comment!!)
It's not that Lemmy or Kbin are bad alternatives (I think they're pretty good tbh), but I would really like to stay on Reddit because that's where the content is. That's where the vast majority of people are going to stay and so that's where the interesting posts will stay.
Me continuing to use Reddit is entirely contingent upon Reddit Inc. making mobile apps usable again, either by lowering API costs so 3rd party apps can continue to exist, or improving the official app by a LARGE margin to bring it in line with the apps they're killing. If they don't do that, I'm more than happy to stay on Lemmy.

I just wanted to leave this here
But it's not limited to Reddit either. Because your Points are on the blockchain, you can take your reputation anywhere you want on the Internet. Embed them in your own site or app!
Lol

Startups are using remote work to attract talent; report: 81% of companies with fewer than 5K employees offer remote work vs. 26% for those with 25K+ employees
It's a free incentive to attract people who would otherwise go with a higher paying position. No-brainer for smaller companies IMO.

Twitter is burning, Bluesky is smug. Where is the best place to do your pathetic doomscrolling?
WHY ARE FERAL HOG POPULATIONS SO HARD TO CONTAIN? BECAUSE THE POPULATION ARE BIG AND ALL THEY DO IS KEEP MAKING 100 OF FERAL HOGS AND I THEY DO IS MAKE THEIR MARK EVERYWHERE THEY AT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM BUT THEY CANNOT BECAUSE THERE ARE ABOUT 2 MILLION OF THESE HOGS AND ORDINARY HUNTING AND THESE FERAL HOGS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND THESE TYPE OF ANIMALS ARE ONLY IN THE SOUTHERN.

Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?
Reply in thread
It is pretty convoluted how you subscribe to communities across instances. I figured it out eventually, but I am seeing the question pop up all over the place across lemmy.
This is why Lemmy will never see widespread adoption, which may be a good thing.
If Lemmy can become a place for REAL discussion around hobbies and niche topics like technology (sysadmin, etc.), I would prefer to stay here. Reading the same canned replies over and over on popular Reddit boards gets really old after a while.
The problem is content generation. Without enough people interested in posting to promote discussion, Lemmy will just sink back into obscurity similarly to how Mastodon was fun to talk about, but hard to get people to actually use.

Moving away from RHEL based distros, whats good ?
Reply in thread
Does it require a paid subscription? You can have a free developer account. I didn't see anything in the Red Hat post besides it being available through the customer portal, which you have access to with a free account.

Cocaine found in White House sparks brief evacuation
Reply in thread
Maybe it's just because I'm an American that remembers 9/11 and the anthrax scares that came soon after, but I completely understood the evacuation because of a "mysterious white powder".

Thoughts on RHEL going closed source ?

It's a complete non-issue. Sensationalist headlines are so easy to make about this.
Anybody who has a FREE developer account can access the source code.

FCC chair to investigate exactly how much everyone hates data caps - ISPs clearly have technical ability to offer unlimited data, chair's office says.
From the form:
and any other information that describes the benefits or challenges that you have experienced due to data caps
There's no way anybody could POSSIBLY benefit from being artificially limited for no reason. Why even include that?
