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 :)

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

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.

Oof, this plot pains me. Commas on the axis labels would have been nice, but more importantly there’s an obvious daily seasonality trend across the course of a week, and I don’t think the % dips shown account for that. Had the blackout not occurred, at least some of that dip would have happened naturally.

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 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.

I welcome our new John Overlord.

stupid is as stupid does.

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.

I mean I know there are bigger issues at play here, but can’t help saying: Ewww…i forgot how gross it is when not using old.reddit.com.

ya my immediate reaction was “wow, how tone deaf.” It’s pretty clear to me that this clown is just repackaging the same talking points the VCs are using to influence his weak-minded ass.

so juicy, hats off to them.

Nope. I was a constant listener and eventually, a supporter. That stopped many years ago. They are not what they used to be.
