Silverfish. They eat silverfish, and that is why I am on Team Silverware.

Where’s the Mercury?

Shhalahr ,

Oh, I love that metaphor.

Shhalahr ,

One of the primary reasons Reddit cited for its API rule changes was LLMs profiting off its data for free.

Its data? Seems to me that most of that “data” was actually generated by users. Which Reddit, in turn, profited off for free.

Shhalahr ,

Only one punch? Letting them off easy, I see.

Huffman takes a "victory" lap: "As the AI era begins, Reddit is leaning into its humanity." (www.fastcompany.com)

The moderator rebellion is crushed, there are no longer any third party apps competing with the official Reddit app and Reddit seems to be as popular as ever.“It’s a nice time right now,” he says. “I think we’re executing really well.” In 2024, the company plans to focus on three pillars. 1. Maximizing ad revenue 2....

Shhalahr ,

Yeah, I recently made a reference to /r/CrabsEatingThings in another thread. Where the hell do I go for such oddly specific content now?

Shhalahr ,

Exactly the point.

Shhalahr ,

I have been unemployed and looking for work for almost a year and a half. I detect no falsehoods in this video.

Shhalahr ,

Why wouldn’t they be? There’s a reason that during my last couple of interview, my brain latched on to the Galactic Mermaid song from Carole and Tuesday. (Content warning, should you look it up: copious swears.)

Shhalahr ,

Go, Team Rebase!

Shhalahr ,

Yeah. It’s got no abstraction between the UI and the implementation. You just want to manage code versions, but to use Git, you need to learn how to manage history graphs.

Shhalahr ,

Pretty certain it’s an intentional reference.

Shhalahr ,

And now we have the obligatory xkcd reference. 😁

Shhalahr ,

Procrastinator.

Okay, but seriously: “Thief”. Why reimplement it if it’s already available in the language?

Shhalahr ,

Why would anyone want that?

Shhalahr ,

Doesn’t seem like that would be described as “expected” though. Unless they mean “expected because we don’t give a shit.”

I suppose there is a difference between “expected” and “intended”.

Shhalahr ,

Well, this screenshot is the mobile version. Tapping anywhere in a textbox should bring the focus and start typing. All having extra lines does is make it more likely that the starting insertion point is a line or two below the start.

Even on desktop, I’m not aware of any text box behavior where you need to click on the correct line to bring the focus to the box.

Shhalahr ,

There could be something to say for both donating directly to Godot and trying to support Terraria in some form because you think they’re doing good.

It depends on how activist the Terraria devs are, though. If this donation is a one-of statement from them, supporting doesn’t make as much of a statement on your part.

Shhalahr ,

Sounds like a “No Unity games on Game Pass” policy may be on the way.

Shhalahr ,

Talk about rent seeking behavior.

Shhalahr ,

Yep. Numbers alone aren’t what are “significant”.

Shhalahr ,

Downturns in quality always take a bit of time to have an effect. Sites coast on momentum. Sometimes it takes a user a while before they decide the site just isn’t as interesting as before. Sometimes a user might be optimistic that the quality will return and stick it out. Eventually, those user numbers will see a bigger dip.

Of course, when it comes to corporations and finance, it seems all the power players ever care about are the short term. What gets them into next quarter. Most of them are going to be long gone and working on something else before the real damage kicks in.

So, yeah, you’re right. All spez cares about are the numbers. But unless they can pivot this whole enshittification process, those numbers are likely to look different in a few years. Though that only matters if you actually care about Reddit and not just making as much money as quickly as possible.

Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition.

Shhalahr ,

In this environment, semi-healthy is the best you’re gonna get.

Shhalahr ,

Heh. That’s what was supposed to happen at my last job when the client left. But I was laid off a few days later anyway.

Shhalahr ,

Please tell me that’s a parody.

Shhalahr ,

Yeah, just get the inevitable out of the way, right?

Shhalahr ,

“Alright. Compromise: We only kill half of you.”

Shhalahr ,

So what rules are they breaking that you’re reporting them for?

Be wary of spiteful Reddit users (kbin.social)

In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like...

Shhalahr ,

Painting Reddit as a monolith in general is a problem, too. “Reddit is toxic?” Some subs, sure. But certainly not the ones I subscribed to. Some of them might have had bad actors here and there. But they were usually dealt with by the mods.

In the end, the only toxicity that drove me away from Reddit was the toxicity from the CEO.

Shhalahr ,

HONK!

Shhalahr ,

Reddit probably didn’t make the API for RPAN available to third parties.

Shhalahr ,

Not if they’re using ad blockers.

Shhalahr ,

So someone did some math and figured out that the award system was unprofitable somehow?

Don’t know how that works out.

Or maybe they are willing to take the hit because they are embarrassed when posts and comments criticizing Reddit get a ton of awards? (Plenty of people already have a large cache of Reddit coins, so handing out an award is not necessarily paying anything to Reddit at the time of award.)

Mortal Kombat 1 has a beloved new character: Johnny Cage’s Roomba (www.polygon.com)

Fans who played NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat 1 stress test last week discovered a few new details about the Roomba — which is almost assuredly not an official iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner — including that it will actually try to clean up the blood splattered across Johnny Cage’s nice marble floors.

Shhalahr ,

That is awesome.

Wonder how many man hours were spent on that.

Shhalahr ,

Making it a requirement to have an account to even see content isn't going to convince me to sign up.

He'll, if can't even tell what's on it, why would I want to sign up?

Shhalahr ,

I just want to say, “Hi.”

My interest in this community stems from having a stutter, depression, and social anxiety. I also work in web development and am always interested in learning more about web accessibility. For the most part, my conditions don’t affect my ability to use the web, so I always feel like there’s lots of room to grow there. (Too bad the folks at Reddit don’t care much about that. Looking forward to the blackout.)

Shhalahr ,

How do they define “accessibility app”. It sounds like almost every third party app is more accessible than the official app. So they’re all addressing accessibility needs.
