I wouldn't propose apple seeds as a sweetener simply because they naturally grow inside apples.

Reddit's already dead. There is no more growth to be had. Reddit's about group social construction. Not about objectivity or truthyness, but about constructing and constant negotiation of norms. You construct your own Reddit, groups construct themselves. A varied Redditness emerges through spilling between groups.

Groups face tipping points and runaway effects, especially when agency, or perception of agency, is stripped. Reddit imposed moderators will in many cases lack sufficient objective knowledge to operate niches and pander to remaining niche subject experts with varying results, while in all cases seek to impose an objective, uniform with permissible variation, normative imagination of Redditness, one they themselves lack the agency, sufficient potential to constantly generate chaos, to change.

The only value in Reddit now is a rundown of selling to the community, I pull 4 years from a magical had, selling the communities, then strip asset the intellectual property they claim. Any investor would be mad to think of Reddit as anything but a distressed asset investment.

I will subscribe to a newsletter when it provides an RSS feed.

Otherwise it's unwanted, intrusive, selfish, invasion of my inbox pushing content rather than allowing orderly pull.

Imagine a world where the advertising billboard you walk past reaches into your head and takes a photo of your shopping list. While it's there it takes note of any deep concerns you may not know you have. And your sleep habits, where you live, random visual memories it may find useful anytime in the future, has a guess at how much you'd like to spend using personal records, what pets you have or would like, family, a bunch more.

It then morphs into a dancing dashboard mannequin, a personal avatar, spouting nonsense, getting on your nerves, while its technoneurons spread, root-like, tapped into you. As you exit the car going into the supermarket, the supermarket is now a construct of the avatar not the bricks and mortar building it was when you were growing up. It exists for the avatar to make your life better, not for you, it robs you of choice and agency it does not agree with.

You go into a small cafe for some splice. It has a touchscreen display to order from, you must pay with a card or ApplePay.

Normalised tables.

You have a request coming in, and a response going out. This can be logged, via your webserver or a framework, for analysis [1]. The analytics you mentioned don't require JavaScript.

If they can't mod effectively, marking a sub NSFW is exactly what they should do in order to warn readers there may be NSFW content.

Doing that server side is often overlooked.

> all it can say about them is pure hallucination

Could another way of putting that be, it performed a guess based on a heuristic?

Wasn't Web 1.0 in a time before ads, or, depending on site, of banner ads and paid search placements that Google, sought to end?

And Web 2.0 defined by remixing, RSS, Torrents in the mainstream, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube and many more less acquired today?

I struggle to put the silod and gated repositories of members', and of non-members, knowledge and social interaction in the 'Web 2.0' bucket.

[Edit: The term webX.Y might not even apply much anymore. Quite a lot of the world is app-first where websites are an anachronism, an out-dated concept where a web browser may not be knowingly opened for a month, if ever. For many, the web is dead or not even known; today, for plural manys, it's all AppLand.]

Run your own Lemmy and federate to both.

I see it as healthy.

Just as there is no simultaneous conversation about, say, walnuts in offline life, so there are multiple communities that discuss walnuts on boards with all the predicates and social constructs those communities have, from focuses towards, say, farming to environment to cooking, objective focuses, or social focuses in belief, location, language, of community. And no one's prevented from starting their own walnut focused board or even community.

That Lemmys are choosing to not try to be super catch-alls from the start I see as healthy for communities.

For search/discoverability, multiple boards each dedicated to walnuts may not aid discovery, especially in tails where signal is strong, perhaps oldskool directories/newskool directory of search/filtering could start to come in useful.

porkbun.com does what you want.

I noted several in the recent Gandi thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36321783 I was noting principally European-based registrars:

inwx.de (DE)

BookMyName.com (FR - LOL modern interface, but part of Scaleway)

netim.com (FR)

freethought.uk (UK)

https://www.nic.ch/registrars (CH, a list of Swiss registrars)

I'm firmly in the double-space camp, but for a reason not mentioned in the article: A sense of finality. Two spaces ends a sentence. The double-tap means it's time to move on, not meander in the trailing thoughts or follow-ons that commas often give rise to. A double-tap's finality is partial, and far from being as jolting as hitting Return; flow will continue, double-space's finality is linking, a small leaping limp, a tactile and audible pirouette, to what comes next, and simply can't by substituted by a mundane, routine, middling single tap.

I draw a line at four spaces after commas.

From the about page [1] they're Scaleway. Perhaps worth looking into!

Another vote for Purelymail. Pricing is great. Easy to setup. It just works. Plus they have a mail migration tool.

Without movement on this [1] I can't see adoption.

I believe it's in testing.

And appreciate that the word "testing" was used seven times in the short post.

Thank you!

Is this saying something it isn't?

Universal local government services app?

...or, has facilitated a large number of contributions to the site in terms of posts, comments, votes, views, community building and fluidity, and user stickiness.

I can't see the relationship between Apollo and Reddit as singularly one sided.

> I was amazed when living in SF how many of the homeless are not locals. Not even Californians!

Source?

Because this seems to be banded around in comments without anyone sourcing.

I dropped this actual source [1] in another comment, that measures 13% of unsheltered homeless as coming from out of state for LA.

[1] https://www.politifact.com/article/2018/jun/28/dispelling-my...

> Martin cited a study from May 2018 by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which found 75 percent of the people on the street in Los Angeles County had a home in that same county before they lost it. It also showed that 65 percent of the unsheltered homeless had lived in that county for at least 20 years. Only 13 percent were from out of state.

Holding me back from posting updates of what I had for breakfast is the problem of private key sharing with services that I can use in order to post updates of what I had for breakfast.

A client or service will inevitably be compromised. And with it, the private keys of some, or assumed all, using it, whether stored by the service or logged on entry by a compromised system.

Private keys should be chained, master->subkey, with subkey the public key of the service __or a solution like that or that ends in the same result. When (not if) a service or key is compromised, the key can be blacklisted and/or any key co-signed by a compromised service blacklisted.

I'm confused by the oversight. It's also been raised here https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nostr/issues/97

Until then, I'll have to keep my updates of what I had for breakfast to myself.

> Encouragingly, the recently passed EU Digital Services Act (2022) mandates that large online platforms offer a non-algorithmic way of viewing content, such as a reverse-chronological feed [Vincent, 2022]. This development may soon make it possible to replicate our methodology across multiple platforms of interest. We hope our study will inspire future efforts in this direction.

Would the cost of running the system be reduced if it were changed?

If not, the cost would need to be accommodated where the interest's been lost. I don't see a net cost reduction.

Perhaps there's a welfare effect, I don't know; living where cards, phones (QR code or NFC) or bank card (NFC) are all accepted and have been for several years, most passengers still opt for transport card but a non small amount prefer phone but that's my completely localised anecdote.

Would costs be increased through transaction or implementation fees for capital not yet depreciated? Implementation doesn't need to mean new hardware either, it includes tooling, software, but goes beyond to different workflows needing testing from fumbling for phones vs fumbling for cards to customer support - were the results from the trial run you mentioned published? Is there any compelling urgency?

Sets of combinations of attendees at scrabble conventions?

That's what they said at the start of the sequel.

An alien, that was released 44 years ago today.

Did it survive? Did it feed on people? Was it captured for nefarious purposes, and are there still more out there?
