I think X led the way in robotic hellscape innovation that’s now being adopted by Reddit.

Oh cool, I did not know about this

You are so right.

To the supreme court they go… I think we can predict the voting there down to the individual justice.

I agree with the OP on this. Tie them up defending against an attack that will never happen. NATO is a defensive alliance.

I generally hate them in consumer-targeted apps. Theoretically, there’s nothing wrong with the model. Devs have to keep the lights on, especially if there is a cloud service behind the app. It’s all about what pricing model they set. However, pricing is hard. A lot of companies really screw this up right at the start. I also think a lot of businesses cannot resist the temptation to boil the frog and ask for more and more over time, until their pricing is way out of alignment with value delivery.

This one really surprised me.

I think it’s because privacy is less an issue with podcasts (ads don’t have as many options to track) and enshitification of the experience has been on a slower roll than, say, youtube. Lately some solutions are out there in the form of commercial apps but they are limited and who knows if their biz model will survive. I’d like to see an open source solution but I haven’t found one.

NPR New Music Friday is helpful a lot of the time

It’s all a bit of an arms race (to the bottom). If my competition is freely allowed to obscure the true cost, I’m at a disadvantage not to do the same. Government intervention is needed.

Cost of doing business. This is a rounding error somewhere.

I don’t attribute it to an organized plan but they are stumbling and shuffling their way towards a dark future, one step at a time.

They are laying the groundwork for an autocratic government. With the right measures in place, it could happen fast.

This is not good. Thanks for highlighting this. I flagged this for my company’s enterprise risk management committee to consider and act upon.

They will find something to moan about, probably several somethings. Most of it will be made up bullshit non-issues or things they do themselves when they are in power. This is the Party of Grievance.

A lot of so-called low code can be a trap. I’m less afraid of SaaS so long as there exists an equivalent on-prem option. SaaS has a place for sure. SaaS-only is a concern, I agree. I agree with a lot of the assertions of this article, except I would probably first recommend Camunda 7 or 8 over SWF. Camunda is developer friendly, open source and has more mature offerings. A large part of the value of adopting process orchestration tools is the ability to support a model -> run -> monitor & optimize type of closed loop cycle. Camunda does this very well.

The final product is dried and harvested, with minimized water, land and energy use, Galy says.

That’s why. Cotton is notoriously bad in all of those categories. To that I would add the most cotton grown commercially is paired with a lot of pesticides as well.

I’m done with corporate platforms

I installed it and took a quick look. It reminds me of Obsidian’s approach. I got excited about that, too, but I found it very burdensome to use in practice. What I need is a sort of life log that grabs a lot of stuff quietly from integrations and that I can then further augment (for things like meeting notes). The problem with all of these graph approaches (for me) is that they become burdensome to manage.

LogSeq

I never heard of it until now. I’m a veteran of trying out and dumping so many note taking solutions. I’m certain to try this one, too! Maybe I’ll finally find The One.

It’s the party of grift. Don’t expect anything to change. Keep the plebs angry and afraid, endorse the racism they require, and rake it in while they serve their true masters, the 1%.

I recommend a reverse osmosis filter for anyone concerned. They strip everything from the water and require very little maintenance (annual pre and post filters, the membranes themselves last a long time). I have a small tap for it in the kitchen and it also feeds my ice maker. No hauling water, no pouring water into filter systems.

Agreed. Best thing for him would be to STFU, but he seems incapable.

That’s rich.

I wish this would catch on and spread.

This makes perfect sense and should be expected. Many business models are incompatible with ethics (see Meta for an example). The business model defines their behavior. Having these teams is a PR exercise for such organizations.

I have been very happy with Mint in the USA but as I note in a reply thread below, it is useless for international travel. Use an ESIM app instead. On my latest trip to Europe it worked for about 5 minutes upon landing and then I got kicked off the network and it never worked again. Simultaneously, my login in the Mint app was invalidated… and I cannot login now via any channel. I use a password manager so it is not user error. I’m back home now but the login issue persists and I have a ticket open for it. I can get only get into my account if I follow this path:

• go to mintmobile.com and hit login
• click send password
• receive one-time verification code by SMS and enter that
• when prompted I enter my one-password from my Authenticator
• when prompted I pick a new password and press enter

Once I do that I drop into my account, authenticated. If I log out again, the new credentials never work.

I have to wonder if I tripped some sort of fraud control in Europe.

Same. It’s been great in the USA but it was entirely unusable for a full week in Europe. I had a ticket open the whole time and they could never get it to work. I demanded a refund.

Soulseek is great although it absolutely requires port forwarding to share files. It’s also very much a “desktop” app and I don’t think much investment has been made for it to be a solid, containerized server app. Everything I have explored on that front has been very janky.

Can you imagine if either of us did 10% if what he did? Our cases would be long complete and we’d be in prison.

I’m trying hard not to get my hopes up.

This whole thing is a shame and I still am going through a morning period about it. Reddit will persist in some diminished state. I can only hope the quality communities and people move here, and that Lemmy rapidly improves (though it is very usable now). The trends so far are good. The value of social media lies in the user base.

Let this be a lesson to all who produce and manage content (that’s us users and mods). Don’t use platforms that are destined to monetize your data at your expense.
