I mean sure, that might be where the industry moves. But the reality of the world we live in today is that just about every piece of electronics you crack open is going to have a PCB with surface mount components. So, today, you should be able to obtain the parts to repair those boards when they're broken but repairable.

And let's say we do get to the point where the electronics in every single device being sold are one single completely inseparable unit. Fine. Sell whatever the components are! If that means selling the electronics as one part separately from the case, do that. Most manufacturers aren't even doing that. The electronics are going to break in some devices while the case is still perfectly fine, and vice-versa. There will always be a place for repairs.

What? Google selling Domains to Squarespace?

For anyone that missed it, is there a link to the story you're talking about? on here or otherwise

And if there is a story on here (which obviously there would be) why aren't you just in there asking your question with everyone else? :-\

How big subs ? Number of subs you moderate is entirely irrelevant to the topic
Everyone is biased, it's just a scale of how much, and even that scale is biased. You can't get away from it on any forum, it's basic human nature, barring something like a math formula (which I sure can be made political unless it is the simplest of concepts)
The users producing most of the value that made Reddit interesting when it was a small website that had a lot to prove have probably already left. The thing is though, it's now very well-established. Reddit shows up extremely often when you Google it, and undoubtedly there's a lot of people (possibly a majority) who will just kind of shrug this off after deciding they'd rather suck it up than be without something like Reddit for a while.

But while the ad revenue is probably fine, the API revenue is definitely what they think the cash cow will be, and practically speaking they could lose 75% of their users and still probably not lose a whole lot of value just due to the sheer amount of historical data they have (especially if they start selling deleted content.)

> Loads of reddit users are annoyed by the blackout thing and find the arguments for it unconvincing. I mean personally I think all of the blackout people should just leave Reddit. Delete your accounts, delete your comments, resign as mods. Let the rest of reddit just move on.

You're not entitled to the communities or their content. The communities themselves are what make the sub. The same happens when users migrate from one sub to another or complain.

You don't control what they do and how they should behave. There was a social contract and it was thoroughly broken, so there's obvious instability now.

The "I couldn't care less, give me my memes" can take their own arbitrary advice and leave if they don't like something. See how useless that is?

You need to apply to more roles. 10 applications a month is not enough. Interviewing is chaotic, so there’s an element of luck and just having a higher raw number of attempts helps.

We have a claim from the US government – which is clearly an unreliable source – and we have Snowden himself who says he didn't share more than he felt he had to. The GP said “he haded files to the Russians” which is a claim I still have seen no proof of.
Yesterday, I wanted to write a comment on a programming sub with some advice. But I decided not to because I ain't training reddit's AI product. This has happened repeatedly the last few weeks, and on many other platforms like github as well, I wanted to post something but decided not to, because I can't get over the fact I'll be training someone's AI.
> Now, if users want to take down their own content in protest, also power to them.

Except Reddit appears to be taking away that power and un-deleting/un-editing comments that user's are deleting/editing in protest.
> In other places this is much more difficult - see Bangladesh, Pakistan, various sub-saharan countries.

At this point I have to ask what's these countries excuse not to adapt. Isn't it the government's job to plan for these events? What makes it so difficult?

Reddit came down hard on threatening mods the other year. Did you forget, or are you omitting that on purpose to strengthen your argument?

If you're a mod, and get threatened, ban the user. It's simple. Move on with your life. 90% of your problems in Reddit are caused by 10% of the people. Get rid of the trouble makers and your job is a cakewalk.

Is this really that difficult to reason through?
Why not just hire moderators?

Unfortunately, sock-puppeting is a lot more pervasive than most people realize.
[I don't have stats, but one anecdote:]

I was originally a desktop user of Reddit, before the redesign. At some point I also installed Sync Pro to read occasionally on mobile, but it wasn't my primary interface to Reddit.

I'm generally pretty open to redesigns. I don't have the dislike of change, and am ok with taking a little while to adapt to something new. Its usually an investmet in a better approach (e.g. MS Office introducing the Ribbon). So when the Reddit update happened I wasn't one of those people who rigorously stuck to Old Reddit - I just waited until I got used to it.

What actually happened is that I stopped using Reddit online at all. Everything was so slow. It just became a chore to read threads. I didn't make this decision consciously, it's just what happened over time.
AGI may not even be possible. Those professors are likely just pattern matching for 80-something years. I’ll grant you they seem to get increasingly good at it with enough training, but it’s not real intelligence.
I agree, lemmy still has a lot of rough edges, but it would be better to depend on decentralized infrastructure, where no CEO will decide rules.

In case of Reddit it's just beginning. I don't really care about API access, but they send clear signal that they only care about profits, not about users and community. What's next? They will require paid subscription to browse content created by users for free, because traffic generates costs and they "have to be profitable"?

Today they still have huge userbase and it's their only advantage. There was Digg, there is Reddit and soon there will be next thing like lemmy.
Discourse is a good modern alternative.
> There's a silent majority - "lurkers" - that the mods have completely ignored

What is there for the mods to ignore, when the lurkers are - as you said - silent?
I can't find it but there was a screenshot the other day of a pro-reddit post which started with "I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill that request."
You're painting mods with a really broad brush, here. There are as many different moderator styles as there are subreddits.

> They don't WANT the mods to leave, and I do think it's a problem to embitter, and anger community, even just the mods.

I'm not convinced. I think they want the _current_ crop of mods of big subreddits to leave, to be replaced by users who would never dream of protesting Reddit's decisions.

> That said, they're quite replaceable, it seems.

In terms of popping some users out, and granting others mod access, that's true. In terms of the quality of the subreddit as a result - that would remain to be seen. I've browsed under-moderated subreddits that are relevant to my interests, and it's not a good experience.

Shit, there are computers doing productive work and going strong on MSDOS 6.22 here in Mexico. Released in 1994, that makes it 30 year old software working without issues.

Google software can only DREAM of doing that. Microsoft was doing software while Google people were still even not planned to be born.
Not sure that the definition was fit for purpose in the first place. A perfectly reasonable understanding of Open Source is that the source is open (whether conditions are attached or not).

And if you then object to conditions being attached to how you use it, perhaps you should also consider the onerous conditions imposed by the GPL license.
I don’t believe that Microsoft was serving customers when they made Windows 10 or 11. I also don’t believe Apple is serving customers when it makes its devices nearly impossible to sustain. Companies are certainly not serving customers when they package products in unsustainable packaging that is meant to be discarded.

While businesses may produce products/services for individuals to buy, you shouldn’t pretend that industry doesn’t make their own decisions. It’s not my fault bottling companies moved from glass to plastic, that was decided against my will. All I can do is recycle and pray they don’t chuck that plastic in the ocean on “accident”.

As I’ve said at the start, this is not to minimize the individual’s role in this, but to highlight the fact that for every piece of plastic I recycle thousands of pounds of it are produced, and that was not my decision. That was decided by billionaires with little care for anything but optics and their bottom line.
The other thing about this that is so crazy is that services like Facebook Twitter and Instagram have all had heavily locked down APIs for a long time. Like, you couldn’t just start using their API you had to sign up and get approval. It moated social media management software like Hootsuite.

I know this because at one of my previous roles they wanted us to build a simple version of software like that and integrate it into their content management system but we couldn’t without also paying the full ticket for third party SaaS so it killed the project.

They could switch to something like that. Where compliance is checked and revoked. It would kill bots but not apps. But this was never designed to work, it’s how disingenuous it is that pisses me off.
Years of actual experience with devices, some even with unlockable boot loaders. Non sysadmins don't go around unlocking their own devices if they don't already have a strong desire to do so.

yes, and fund service running. Looks like important part of the ecosystem.

When we started working on the internal platform, this was exactly the problems we had. When we were finally deleting the old code, we found a couple of experiments that had been running for nearly half a decade.

For giggles, we ran an analysis on those experiments: no difference between a & b.

That's usually the best result you can get, honestly. It means you get to make a decision of whether to go with a or b. You can pick the one you like better.

Are you really advocating the government use extrajudicial assassinations whenever they have difficulties charging someone they accuse of committing a crime?
Exactly the same reasons - “management wants numbers” with most of the clients I’ve worked with over the past 3 years. It’s such an incredible was of time that most of us have given up and pick a random number between 2 and 5.
"Is that really a problem? There's endless stream of data, called "The real World". Just start using a camera and a microphone."

How does one train a model on data that is in a continuous state of change?
> It was met with unanimous wtf is wrong with you, go outside.

“Go outside” is an ironic comment, given that the subreddit blackout doesn’t appear to be all that popular among casual Reddit users. It’s popular among the chronically online people who use Reddit so much that they’re intimately involved in every detail of the site, but 98-99% of users don’t use 3rd party clients.

> I get the feeling spez is creating new accounts and posting as them again.

It’s getting weird that Redditors are turning into conspiracy theorists, believing that anyone who disagrees with the popular narrative must be a shill, a plant, or the CEO himself speaking to them.

No, the CEO of Reddit isn’t spending all day coming to your niche subreddit, creating new accounts, and sockpuppeting opinions to the handful of people there.
In Java, threads that are accessing non synchronized variables can read different information. It's in the jvm spec, and was a surprise back then. In C you could assume (at least in some runtimes) that you only need to sync on write.
Oops, I didn't know flagging did this. Thanks.
One bad decision after another. I know individual action doesn't really matter but I have deleted my Reddit account and hope others do the same.
I was very into deploying and modding PhpBB when I was in middle school. I learned PHP because of it (though I didn't build any substantial mods) and how to work with RDBMSes, Unix filesystems, HTML, etc. The sites that I built never engendered much community interaction though.

I was never a fan of Reddit and find traditional forums much easier to navigate. I also think that the slight friction involved in creating a separate account for these sites instead of re-using the same one across multiple lends itself better to building tight-knit communities. I hope that these systems make a comeback.
But the developers didn't make any contracts with Reddit, prior to making contracts with their customers. Which is egregious, since the developers had no way of guaranteeing that they could actually fulfil those contracts.
It's a joke. Olin Shivers is currently a professor in CS at Northeastern University.
It's been shown in multiple studies that improving reading and writing skills reduces recidivism. Unfortunately these arguments fall flat to the ears of folk who don't see recidivism as a problem to be solved. Just put them back in prison for longer! They have a punishment based mindset and data on how to reduce overall crime rates is just not something they engage with. To them crime is an individual failing society and not society failing the individual. After all they managed not to become criminals therefore everyone in society can.
I can see you're point about newer teachers being more engaging with more energy and enthusiasm but there is a balance to be struck in education between engagement and experience/ability to teach. They are not the same thing.

I would also argue that while some of the most 'fun' teachers I had were newer, they were not the best teachers and many of the best teachers I had were older with far more experience but, like you said, had not lost their enthusiasm. When you apply that to the discussion in question I would argue that the author might indeed know how to engage with students, and has come to the frankly not so orginal conclusion that kids like to have fun, but does not have the experience/ability to do more than those that have come before.

Another user replied to my comment about Khan academys founder having no prior experience beyond tutoring relatives, well, there existed a market gap that no longer exists. What killer features are being proposed here? What are the technical solutions to the obvious technical issues that they point out? How do they plan to monetise this solution aimed at high school kids or indeed underfunded schools? How will they help teachers engage their students in the classroom itself via this platform - a poor teacher blames his tools - students need engaging in the classroom not online where you are competing with dopamine inducing auto scrollers.

I appreciate you educating my punctuation, perhaps you have the experience to start an education platform of you're own!
Can you give me an example of what you search so I can see what unusable you're talking about?
> Most of them are doing it because they get off on having a tiny bit of power.

[citation needed]
Reddit has never had great leadership, much like Twitter. There was an idea that you needed a visionary founder to lead a social media company,which is why @jack and u/spez got brought back, but neither have been good leaders of their companies or great stewards of the community.

Instagram and YouTube seem to be examples of social media sites led by non-founders, though those are also subsidiaries.
> it seems that this can only be sustained with very strong leadership buy-in.

Definitely. often it's more about organizational changes than software and upper management is the one blessing things in most big corp.
> “and that is not democratic”

Whose fault is that?

Seems like Reddit administrators exact design.
> The people who present Android vs iOS as a matter of personal choice are being slightly disingenuous.

TBH, there is already tremendous social pressure to choose iOS.
Be aware that this is a german job listing.

The only european country that takes titles even more serious is Austria. So without a M.Sc. in CS or a similar M.Sc. your chances may be quite low to even get an interview.

Pretty much, people only notice when mod team decides to make significant changes to how subreddit works (banning certain types of posts etc.), not the power-hungry individual at hand
Reddit has seriously improved their mod tools in recent years. I really don't understand these complaints.

I'm not a sock puppet, I just don't see the validity in saying over and over that the mod tools are bad, when they are clearly not and work for quite a lot of mods.

Something that has gotten lost amidst all the pricing talk is that Reddit said their API would also stop serving any content marked as NSFW, essentially making it useless for any third party app (general use or moderator use) even if they could come to an agreement on pricing.

I've a fifteen year account and I've found alternatives for my interests that I'm happy with now. Don't think I'll be on Reddit much from now on.

It's a shame as I really enjoyed it while it lasted, especially in the early days.
I actually got accused of "arguing in bad faith" by a hackernews mod once because they couldn't fathom that a real person on this site would disagree with net neutrality.
Some items I've had luck just leaving at the end of my driveway with a free sign on. (I'm set back from a busy road.) But, yeah, I have a bunch of stuff around my house that I'm basically holding onto because getting rid of it would be a pain. I actually have a small dumpster which helps some but one of these days I'll probably need to get a junk disposal service.
It's crazy the amount of people that seemed to be straining to support Reddit, it's almost, suspicious.
Agreed. We can make infinite grammatically correct text with perfect spelling, but if we limit the training set to that alone then ppl who wright liek this cant uze the ai lol & will be all lije "wtf m8 this aint skool i don care bout spekling rite u know wot i ment y cant ur machine?!?"

and while I enjoy my ivory tower as much as the rest of us, I do think it's important for the AI to understand everyone, not just me.
nah. there was always a way to remove crappy mods. reddit could and would step in at any point in time.

don't mix "there are crappy mods out there" with "all mods are crappy". it's not even close. the reason reddit runs is because of all the unpaid mod labor.

reddit should just fucking moderate all subs themselves and after that they can do whatever the fuck they want. what? that's expensive AF and comes with liability? what? you want to eat the cake and also keep the cake? that's cute!
Obvious LOL.

Stupid question, but did anyone ever /trust/ online social sites to do what they claimed when it came to managing user data?
Alright I’m not crazy. I wiped all my comments a week ago, and my comments in /r/Apple, /r/SanFrancisco, and /r/gaming all are active again
Interesting. My take is more that progressivism is still popular but is being crushed by an organized reactionary revanchist movement actively dedicated to undoing decades of social progress.

We've been dragged backwards on some very significant social issues and it only seems to be accelerating. The idea that social progress will march steadily forward does seem to be a myth in that light.
