Mobile browser support is a little problematic.

A couple of things I noticed immediately, that you may want to consider.

- landing page is not responsive, hard to read on Safari on iOS
- login screen in-app couldn’t be closed, had to navigate away to exit, perhaps a hidden icon somewhere?
- comment threads seemed to have the same issues on iOS as the landing page

Definitely like the direction you took for the UI, looks like with a little bit of work it’ll become a great platform though!
Thank you. I'm actually a bit surprised how close some of these read to US amendments.

Though reading Article 8 -- Right to respect for private and family life -- I'm not sure if this matters IANAL

> 2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the
exercise of this right __except such as is in accordance with the
law__ and is necessary in a democratic society __in the interests of
national security, public safety__ or the economic well-being of the
country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection
of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms
of others

That feels like as long as it is the law then it doesn't violate Article 8. Seems that saying it is for public safety is also another way to get around this. I also noticed this in Article 11 (right to assembly) and some others. Not being a lawyer, these seem pretty non-binding.
LinkedIn could never be trusted anyway :)

But I think all these different divisions just act radically different within microsoft. What is absolutely certain is that the Windows team cannot be trusted, as they have shown repeatedly.

GitHub has not broken my trust in them yet. I'm sure one day it'll happen; statistically it's more likely than not. But what's the point in pre-empting it, exactly?

I fully understand that Reddit needs money to keep the site running and the way to do that is via premium or showing ads. The 3rd party apps should never have promised a "no ads" experience IMO.

I'm ok if using a 3rd party app means paying a modest fee to use Reddit and not see ads. I have no idea what a reasonable rate is, but Reddit Premium is not it. I don't get that kind of value out of it.
It's sending URL's, and it's not clear if it is also sending cookies or other auth info. I would think / hope that any images covered by HIPAA would not be leakable by URL alone.

If you like using wired telephones but don't want to pay landline rates, you have a few options:

- Use an analog telephony adapter (ATA) to connect your telephone to a SIP VoIP service. There are plenty of providers, and service is dirt cheap.

- Get a telephone with something like Link2Cell, and connect it to your cellphone via Bluetooth. You can now use the telephone to make calls through your cellphone.

- Similarly, if you don't want to buy a new telephone, get an adapter like an XLink BT, which lets you do the same thing using your existing telephone.

- Use a fixed wireless terminal (FWT) to connect your telephone to cellular service directly. The FWT will accept a SIM card. (This might not be an option anymore though, since these tend to operate on GSM networks.)
This edit feature might be a privilege of some sorts. I have a decent amount but when they closed my question as a duplicate I was not able to edit the question.

I don't know why they are they doing it, clearly posting a reference to another question entirely. Why not just let the question hang, it feels almost bot-like behaviour.
These are problems easily solved with tooling today. ESLint + TypeScript literally addresses every example you raised. Static analysis works pretty well these days.

A couple thoughts after trying to submit a post (on firefox):

- no way to post a link/URL? But I can upload an html file? Am I supposed to make the URL the description of the post?

- "audio" does not appear to have a file upload button (probably a bug)

- the text submission box sometimes does that glitchy thing some javascript'd text boxes do where everything I type comes out backwards until a refresh

Seems like a cool platform, glad I registered. I'm trying to post a video, and I think this would be better if the encoder worked in the background so I don't need to leave the page up. Console is also full of CORS errors.

Another edit: Seems posting of any kind is currently broken, at least as an unsubscribed account. Too bad, it's a nice idea with about the best timing it'll ever have, but this is a very soft launch.
Sure, but I'm more interested in things that were just impossible before. You can hire a artist to illustrate a level, or have AI do it cheaper, but you can't have an artist illustrate a level the player made while they wait. I think there are whole play patterns that are possible because the cost and especially speed of creating the art are many orders of magnitude different.

"You'll enjoy raising the kids unless you have some kind of personality disorder" is one of the most unpleasant, exclusionary and normative things I've read in a long time.

You are talking about 20% of the population. More than any other minority group in America. [0] That is large enough to be a perfectly ordinary slice of human variety. Even if you object to that study's methods it is a huge chunk of the populace.

The portion of the population that doesn't want to and will not enjoy raising children is also a group of people who should not be parents, obviously.

Describing them as having a "personality disorder" achieves what? At best, it pressures probable bad parents into reproducing.... or is that at worst?

Being aware that one won't find raising children rewarding and responding appropriately is highly moral. It isn't a mental illness.

And this nasty, toxic approach to 1/5th of your fellow humans is just something you toss off dismissively in a thread about video game modding? This is the behavior of a person who ostensibly does not have a personality disorder?

I'm reasonably wealthy and live in a single family home on the coast. (Well 1 mile from the coast.) So this is not about me. But the truth is, I probably couldn't live anywhere else (beyond living a couple hours away and having a horrendous commute) because:

1) My job is here and they won't let me work remotely. While I don't need this specific job, I've lived in cheaper areas and the jobs available were few and far between. You can find them, it's just a huge pain in the ass and they don't treat their employees nearly as well. I've even worked for myself, but it's a lot more work and not everyone is cut out for it. I threw in the towel after 5 years because it was burning me out so much.

2) My spouse has medical issues that even the best doctors in the big cities are having trouble treating. There's no way they'd be able to treat her in the sticks. You just can't get the types of services needed for some things in lower-cost-of-living areas.
I dislike same thing in Rust and it is much worse on that.
On W10 you only get the option to create a local account if your network is disconnected, and only after multiple screens of insistence. A normal person being asked to connect to wifi during setup will do so and never have the option to not create a MS account. So it may not be impossible to create an offline account, but for all intents and purposes they do force your hand.

On W11 you have to resort to more esoteric tricks, you can't actually complete setup normally without network and a ms account.

Probably a significant percentage of the people who were using old. Everyone else started with new.
> Many scripts will execute if opened with vi

I haven't encountered this. You can execute scripts intentionally in vi, and I assume you could configure it to happen automatically, but can this happen without you making some sort of effort to enable it?

What scripts present such a risk? What vi configuration is required to stop this?

Same question wrt cat.
Well, exactly right. I'm not choosing between putting a packet of splenda in my coffee or drinking it black. I'm choosing between a packet of splenda or two packets of sucrose. I'd find a study telling me which one of those is the better choice to be very helpful.

I commented about a month back how the /r/programming seemed dead in the last two years compared to Hacker News. It’s not even close to what it used to be, and I suspect the new design and other bad choices contributed to that. It’s like the really good programmers who made interesting comments I learned from left. But of course I was downvoted and someone said HN users are “probably inept nerds like me”.
Anything you incentivize is going to be abused. That's the way it is. Begun the karma wars have.
It is the only practical solution. The only way to get humanity's energy equation to balance is to dramatically reduce the population or dramatically reduce energy use per capita or invent and deploy a mythical free energy source within the next 30 years. And this just covers replacing black energy with green energy -- even more energy will be needed to address the climate problem.
Fine, you may have strong priors against Amazon, but don't act like evidence to the contrary is supporting your position.

Perhaps personal ai based filters that each user can train is an option. I know personally that there are topics or opinions that I just don't care to engage with or read and it would be lovely to be able to train my own filter to just censor all that out of my feeds. I currently use reddit user blocklist as a partial solution, but it's a rather crude tool.
> I basically stopped writing paper notes then.

I’m curious why. Was there something in your notes that implicated you or was it more of a general “working under a microscope in public view feels stifling” or something else?
It's funny, I originally pitched this about 8 years ago to some VCs, and Spotify was the example I used as a platform that could do things much better.

Turned down the funding offers I got, and kicked things off in more of a slow-burn sideproject style after that.
Ever since I found out WHO is fine with doing anti-science things like having a 'panel of experts' make health proclamations without evidence; I'm not sure who uses the WHO. (A panel of 'experts' said if a 1 month old watched tv for 1 second, they would have detrimental effects. No science to cite, 0, but like 9 names of random old people were cited.)

If the WHO says something, you need to go through all the work of checking their sources, and in this case, there was no source:

>The recommendation from the World Health Organization (WHO) is based on a review of available evidence which suggests that artificial sweeteners do not help control body mass or reduce the risk of weight-related illnesses.

I'm a bit offended that I pay taxes to such a prominent anti-science organization. I don't mind the idea of a world health organization, but to be so brazenly anti-science and pro-authority is the last thing I want.
In addition to this site, I'd also highly recommend this resource.

No, there's plenty of single purpose systems.
Yes. When you omnislash posts and read them line-by-line, they don't make sense. That's your problem, not mine.

-------------

But whatever, I'll try to focus on your more legitimate posts and push this (already flagged /banned) discussion towards something that resembles a worthy discussion.

> Dose it satisfy you that once that has happened, feminists would be classified as a hate organization?

You've confused ideology with groups and organizations.

The Nazis can be identified as a Hate Group. They followed the Fascist ideology (among many other ideologies).

Planned Parenthood can be identified as a group. They don't seem to be a "hate group" however. They follow the feminist ideology (among many other ideologies). If hypothetically, Planned Parenthood as a group (or if their leaders) decided that killing men was part of their explicit group focus, then yes I'd be cool with calling them a hate group.

-----------

EDIT: Lets cut to the chase. Do you want to call #BLM or #MeToo a hate group?
The idea of posters getting real money instead of fake internet points when their posts do well seems interesting, but maybe an unintentional experiment in unintended consequences. Moderation will be extremely important to prevent low-effort memes and content regurgitation and the like from saturating your main channels. Have you considered how you will encourage moderation and keep it free from the corrosive influence of quid quo pro? (hey moderator, you overlook this spam post and maybe I cut you in on the profits)

When real money is involved on the internet the worst kinds of stuff results, and it takes a lot of effort to avoid it. How's that going to work?

None of this is to take away from your accomplishments here, by the way. The exact opposite in fact, you've got an interesting enough idea that it prompts interesting questions of the mechanics.

P.S. do you have any long-term plans to IPO this if it becomes successful? If not, some kind of guarantee that this platform is immune to enshittification would probably be very, very popular.

No. But then again, Neil didn't pay Tim May or Eric Hughes for the use of "Cryptonomicon."
Ah, gotcha! I'll keep noodling around :)
Never said it wasn’t.
I see three perspectives on the whole thing:

First, Reddit's monetization is broken by design. It never made any sense to me why they would charge for reddit gold for an ad-free experience on their website and own mobile app but not on the API. Why would they let third party apps serve their own ads and let them charge to remove them? This would be simple to fix, both technically and in the API's ToS, just serve the same ads regardless of the client. People would be upset, but ultimately I feel it would be entirely fair. But no, it doesn't seem to be a solution considered.

Second, the LLM dataset issue is also attributed to the price hike. Again, I think it's fair if unpopular to charge premium for bulk data. Again, there are technical and ToS solutions for this. They could introduce exponential tiers for bulk data, restrictions on allowed usage, other things that make user-facing usage reasonable but bulk processing expensive, but then again, starting measuring api usage per client id and not per user goes against this point, just making the API extremely expensive for everyone anywhere to the point of being unusable.

Third, all points seem to lead to the fact that what they really want is to kill third party apps and hope a large part of those users move to their app, for what? More tracking, tighter grip, better engagement metrics? Not sure. Even the changes to the extremely hostile mobile site now forcing some users to download the app. Really, I'd figure they'd understand their userbase better than that and how a small fraction on content producers and a even smaller fraction of power users and moderators carry the site, and pissing them off is a really bad idea. But what do I know.
Mobile experience is pretty bad right now.

And still others because they've started looking at the pieces of how our global society functions as a system and realized that it's very possible we have pushed our environment beyond it's ability to support us. Leading ultimately to overshoot which leads to collapse.

I was (and technically still am) pretty addicted to sugary drinks and energy drinks. Switching to diet soda and sugar free energy drinks helped me lose a lot of weight and got me an easier way to start regulating my weight and nutritional input. I would not have considered starting without the availability of these substitutes and I am glad I did. To condemn them without the context of the individual that may be like in my case substituting liters of sugar water and energy drinks a day seems rather short sighted
Off topic and late: Hi Vlad, just wanted to say I ran into your website and desktop wallpapers some years ago, and I just love them, I keep using them as wallpapers on my various machines and telling people about them. Just wanted to say thank you for your work on them.
Exactly this. I'm running a de-googled Android device without any social media on it. Sure it's not as convenient, but I find myself with all the benefits outlined by the first paragraph of that article, with the extra tools that help make my life easier.

For example, my sense of orientation got a lot better but I'd be doing myself a disservice not to use OSM in a city I'm not familiar with. The slow loading and time for the GPS to lock on makes it more of a "only if necessary" use, I mostly end up asking for directions or figuring out my own way via public maps, I enjoy that more.
Booting diskless is the native way of Alpine to boot. System configuration comes as apkovl tarball. I used this kind of setup before but i disliked the boot times.

Would be much faster if the final rootfs was packed into the cpio. But if i pack the cpio onto the disk, its not that different from using a regular disk image.
Congrats on the hard work, and the idea is fine, but the problem is that tech like this is a cheap commodity in a massively oversaturated space, and without a hook that makes the platform exceptional (innovative/clever/beautiful design, unique aggregation features, inherently interesting content, reimagined user/content/moderation dynamics etc etc), this kind of thing is dead in the water because it lacks a network effect. Add in the upfront subscription model and failure to launch is basically assured.

When I visit the root domain I shouldn't be greeted with a marketing splash page, you need interesting content in the user's face right away, entice their curiosity and drive the user to explore the site... even as a fellow developer, my first instinct is to abandon the page as soon as I'm greeted with the cliche startup marketing page. Consider the user experience when I visit reddit.com or news.ycombinator.com or any other link aggregation competitor. What you have now is a tech demo, not a platform. Sorry if that's a little harsh, but I mean well! Good luck!
Having worked at this scale, this is a fine guess! This scenario would have been a distant edge case for them. They likely didn't optimize for it. BOOM.

The concern the top-level comment has is that sooner rather than later these cases will not be as rare and so more people will become familiar with this concept.

I think a major factor in the scope of this blackout is that there's a lot of 3p mod tools that, per my second hand understanding, are somewhere between "significant QOL improvement" and "indispensable". So even mods who use official apps/new website/etc would be affected, and they also hold the keys to the kingdom in terms of making it happen
