I know several dozen people. One person who is still unable to work after COVID in late 2021, and a fair amount of people, myself included, whose condition substantially worsened for indeterminate reason during the last few years.

Most likely, the majority of people who are damaged by COVID aren't cases severe enough to label as "long COVID", and often just passed off as having become more depressed due to social distancing, etc. except they then don't recover with lifestyle improvement.
New reddit is the worst. Who even designed it? Every time I accidentally find myself on new reddit UI, I feel like I'm looking through foggy glasses. Over the course of about 20 seconds, I blindly click around, feeling lost and confused, then frustrated, and then I just add "old" to the URL.
I don't know what is the cost of keeping AMP running. I guess that there is no cost once it is up and running. It makes sense what you say.
I like Reddit but I don’t think I will miss it. Good riddance.
I find it ironic that selfhosted isn’t running their own Lemmy instance.
Sure, but your second article suggests risk to leaving it too:

> This protest has the potential to demonstrate that its place in users’ hearts is conditional, and perhaps more importantly to demonstrate to advertisers that users do not consume its content in the context of the official Reddit app
..and hundreds or thousands of others, that signed some NDA, worked on e.g. mission-critical systems (where bugs as the ones discussed here would cost you your job) and who never got to show their work, which is OP's point.
At least this wasn't the "who has registered with porn sites" database.
Literally, the very point is that there is no “they”.
Actally he did that. Turns out even in the Vatican, most clergy aren't completely comfortable in conversational Latin. Even though the church official docs are still in Latin, Vatican residents speak Italian and English in daily life.

I got better at software project estimation the longer I spent in the dev industry. But I still knew I was using back-of-brain knowledge and probably wouldn't benefit from bringing too much of it into my consciousness. I think it's like kicking a goal from a free kick in soccer. Conscious deliberation seems to be a distraction at best.
Or the more common sense, cheaper, and easier approach of holding lenders liable for not doing their due diligence.

“Identity theft” does not or should not exist as a thing. It is and always should have been fraud between a lender and the person(s) committing fraud, and prosecuted as such, with the business buying insurance if it wants to protect itself from losses to due to fraud.
I've never looked at AMP at that way, as cleaner version of the web site.
It's not even about not just "liking" them, like if it's only about resistance to changes.

My way of browsing reddit on desktop is to scroll and open lots of stuff I find interesting in tabs. With new reddit this is "holding it wrong" I guess, because that amount of tabs absolutely destroy the performance of my browser. Scroll is janky etc. And multiple subreddits have features and stuff that never got ported to new reddit, making new reddit a subpar experience as well.

As for the app, I just can't figure out what to press. I want a list of posts, and pressing them to take me to the comments. It keeps injecting other stuff everywhere, though. Avatars, coins, huge ads, lots of posts from other communities I don't want to see in my list, defeats the purpose of following a subreddit. I have to use the app once in a while to post content as other apps aren't allowed to upload videoes etc, and it's a confusing experience every time.
Can't you just follow them all from a 3rd server, even a mastodon server?
No, and hasn’t been close to as you describe in a long time. Reddit made these people give up some of the subreddits that were on the old defaults list. The truth is that this generation of Reddit user is long gone; see /u/qgyh2 or /u/ManWithoutModem.
It is very highly ranked on Google unfortunately, and I have a bunch of old saved posts.

metafilter does that. It limits the user-base to those who have command of a bank-account or credit-card and imposes a friction on new account creation by gating it with a one-time $5 fee. They never aspired to be huge but I think they're doing fine.

ok then.
Nah, the winners will be the paid shills that will take over more subreddits of the idealists. Some of them probably participated in the 3 days or whatever it was of blackout so they look good to the rest of the users, but they're ultimately getting paid by PR corporations and they'll be ready with alts that will take over subreddits that go permanently private.
Why did reddit choose to charge app developers (causing financial uncertainty) for API requests instead of charging the end-users?

By purchasing my own usage and loading an API key into Apollo, I could continue to pay Apollo for the app alone like today, and pay Reddit separately for the API access. At least this way, I could decide if I’m happy with the price for API access.

I can only assume Reddit deliberately wanted to ruin the business model for third party apps.
IMO the original title was way better since it doesn't bury the lede. For better or worse, very few programmers care about "Learnings from kCTF". A lot of programmers care about io_uring being disabled.
Sundar is trying to be the next Steve Ballmer. Alienate the tech community by just focusing on cost cutting. I do wonder if he would have cut YouTube back when it was bleeding cash if we was the CEO back then.
It's going to sound dumb, but honestly? I filled an rss reader up with some of the best sources I could think of, and am actually really enjoying just quietly taking the world in again, instead of trying to come up with my latest snarky Reddit-friendly quip.
AFAIK those are generally franchises, like say a Subway or a McDonald’s.
3D is known for its strong novelty effect. At least 5 times people have declared that it will change everything: the Brewster Stereoscope, the DOD purchasing 100k Viewmasters in the 40s, the 1950s wave of 3D movies, the 90s wave of VR, and the Avatar-era wave of 3D movies and TV. As you may have noticed, none of those things are more than a rounding error in the market. And that's before we get to exciting failures like Magic Leap, which people were similarly excited about.

And I'll again point you to phones. Despite tablets, laptops, and ever-larger TVs, people spend an awful lot of time on those small, rigidly bound rectangles.
Thinking by consensus requires guilt by association.

Its been a week now since I deleted reddit. I have 7.5 hours per week back! Amazing move, highly recommend.
I thought of a similar issue.

It could be limited to active high karma participants of the community, however anyone can game that with GPT powered bots.

Another possibility is to have yearly oustings instead of voting mods in.

At 90% disapproval mods get kicked out. This along with brigading detection should cover damage by bad actors for the most part.
It seems that Oregon and Louisiana were using a piece if “industry standard software” to “move large files” (extremely hard facepalm here)

Social security numbers were included!

Also, how did the data leak if this statement from MOVEit is true: “ MOVEit provides secure collaboration and automated file transfers of sensitive data and advanced workflow automation capabilities without the need for scripting.

I mean, I have no huge interest in this battle but if you are on neither you can certainly federate with both.

This is a huge advantage of a large number of smaller servers, defederation as a policy decision by your instance administrator can be solved by moving to a new one without nearly as much trouble if you disagree with it.

The huge disadvantage (or advantage as it evolves) is that technology@lemmy.bobstown and technology@kbin.char (made up instances) have different membership and moderation.

It will be interesting to see how that goes, I expect niche topics to end up accumulating on one or two servers to gain enough membership while huge topics end up with more serious siloing by instance.
> Next, they'll hand over fan-built communities to the entities that own the IPs they're dedicated to. Eg. r/starwars to Disney, r/startrek to Viacom/Paramount, etc.

This isn't an accurate extrapolation. In fact it's extrapolating in the opposite direction.

The moderators are taking a moral stand against an API policy. But the the actual users of the subreddits never consented to this moral stand. By removing these moderators that are working against the users, reddit is giving the subreddits back to the users.
I know a couple people in their 30’s struggling with long covid. One of them is a startup founder in SF and now has long covid and it’s been really terrible for them and their family. We speak often about it because I was out of work for months unable to function due to intense neurological inflammation. It greatly exacerbated what used to be a mild auto immune condition and I’m still traveling the country to get medical help and working from bed most days.
The guy who's running lemmy.world is also one of the mods on selfhosted@lemmy.world, so they kind of are.
It doesn't get better with magic values like confidence levels either

Can you explain why you believe the mods are toxic? Reddit allowing autonomy created an entire army of unpaid mods in order to create communities that pay 100% of managements salaries despite current reddit management being basically bad at every aspect of their jobs. They absolutely can crush them if they want to but if they do they stand to crush those communities and end up owning the shell of what they wanted to control.

Ownership of reddit/r/$name isn't a valuable quantity if the people who contribute react badly to replacing the people running the joint being replaced by management stooges. For a case study consider freenode and look how that turned out.
Hurray Napkinomics is going away! Probably not, there is so much tied up in superstition in stocks that even making AI work to handle the market could be dangerous. Someone will figure out the AI's risk assessment model for vesting and then vest against it. Since in investing you make money from buying and selling higher. Really it is a lot of gambling, but the casino always wins.
This comes up all the time when registrars come up...

"I just want a non-scummy registrar that doesn't try and upsell me, has support when I need it, and generally isn't shit."

"Why is this non-shitty registrar $20/yr instead of $10/yr like everyone else! Hell, I can go to Joe's Discount Domain Emporium and get this for _$8_!"

I guess I'd just really like to know, for the people that are looking at it like this... how many domains y'all buying? Because I have to assume it's "lots and lots" or else I don't know how to make sense of any of this.

The $10 difference literally couldn't get me a Big Mac meal these days. Maybe I'm just the super-privileged class to be able to afford an extra 83 cents a month, but I happily pay more for my domains to buy from non-scummy companies.
Just went to the 'Programming' lemmy/beehaw and the first thing I see is a post about how they have had to defederate from some instances because of a lack of proper mod tools, trolls and bad actors.

The irony.

> https://beehaw.org/post/567170

> these two instances’ open registration policy, which is extremely problematic for us given how federation works and how trivial it makes trolling, harassment, and other undesirable behavior;

> unfortunate reality we’ve also found is we just don’t have the tools or the time here to parse out all the good from all the bad. all we have is a nuke and some pretty rudimentary mod powers that don’t scale well. we have a list of improvements we’d like to see both on the moderation side of Lemmy and federation if at all possible–but we’re unanimous in the belief that we can’t wait on what we want to be developed here.
If you're interested in fully saying goodbye to Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request - Request all of your data here. This will give you a copy of everything to have as a backup.

This will also allow you to use something like https://github.com/nixfu/reddit-shreddit to fully delete your reddit account (including comments, posts, etc).

Do you have stats to back that up? Seriously I'd be curious and not disappointed at all, but when I go to twitter it looks as active as ever in my feed.
Partner sharing, Face tagging, adding photos to albums based on faces.. these things are great. I even enabled the auto add thing on my brother in law's phone because he was notorious for forgetting to share photos of my kids (they spend a lot of time together). So now any time he takes their photos, google photos adds them to my shared album and I have 'Auto save' enabled on my side so those photos get copied into my account automatically.

Also recently Google photos has really done a good job of adding editing features. Ah I really hope Google keeps it going.
It's a tough battle. If you only consider the wealthiest countries, homelessness strongly correlates with nominal GDP. But, reducing GDP would probably create more homelessness.

There are literally hundreds[1] of literature reviews and meta-analyses about long COVID alone, based on *thousands* of publications about it. Go read some.

You don't get to go all "oh idk is there even any credible research about it" as if there's still any reasonable doubt that it's a real condition. There isn't.

And fun fact, both depression and "psychosomatic" symptoms have in recent years been increasingly linked to underlying physiological pathology and are no longer considered psychogenic symptoms by many, to a point where it's seeming like "psychosomatic" has all along been an excuse to blame people for conditions healthcare has been unable or unwilling to diagnose and treat.

Cyberattack wave in Ukraine linked to Russia’s GRU, Microsoft says
It would be unusual if it wasn't real in some cases. Fatigue is common following viral infections, in general. It's not that unusual to be left very weak for months after a severe bout of influenza. The herpesviruses can do it too, as will most of the classics like measles, even a common cold if you're particularly unlucky.

Just intuitively, a virus causes damage to the infected tissues. The more severe/long-lasting the infection before recovery, the more likely some of that damage is going to be permanent in the form of scar tissue, rather than normal healing.

It almost certainly is associated with depression. Both in that if there is reduced lung function, etc. it may cause depression. But also in that depression can make an otherwise tolerable physical burden intolerable.
It can be one way for many subs, and another way for others. Go to a sub that deals with controversial issues, find a threat with a lot of deleted posts, and look up that thread on unddit.com. Often times you will see mods deleting all dissenting opinions and not allow any discussion about it to even take place.
Various sovereign wealth / fund manager types like the idea of a compliant userbase under their thumb. Taming the internet is the whole point.
>But post modernist throry gives insane people the thought that they can write anything and it becomes justified, because narrative coherence can not exist anyways.

That's not really the argument (and there is no coherent "unity" of postmodernism anyway, Foucault, Derrida, and Lacan, even if they all occupied the same intellectual spheres, had different projects). If there is an argument, its that by dint of its "place in discourse," any statement adds and also modifies every other statement in the great network of social life, so the moment you begin to talk about anything or interpret anything you begin to move away from the thing. But the idea of an original, pure object of critique is seen as suspect to begin with as well, since such a notion is always composed with further discourse, which, in a sense, replaces the object of discourse and negates it. The fact that there are these "definite negations" in language, every time we speak, is not taken as some great horror but instead is meant to be affirmed as an act of human creativity: there is no bottom to our logic, but we nevertheless always discover more and add to it! To try and enforce normative constraints on what is deemed logical also in the end constrains the limits of discourse and intelligibility: it limits the very possibilities of how we could order our society, and claims that the one we live in, which is currently grinding young men into meat in eastern Europe for the profits of large arms manufacturers, which arbitrarily targets and imprisons the most impoverished and downtrodden of its citizens and forces them into slave labor, which participates in the regular everyday exploitation of labor and suppresses and controls any resistance to its hegemony with constant propaganda and moralism for the weak, and direct violence towards the strong and well-organized--it claims THAT society is always somehow "logical," "rationally organized," and "the best system that exists." If we accept that this totalitarian nightmare society as the best that we can have, then we are effectively nihilists and we have abandoned any idea that we have the power to make a better, stronger, more creative, more free, more fulfilling life for ourselves.
For those curious about Zig, I compiled (Zig version 0.10.1) the following source code:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn main() !u8 {
const stdout = std.io.getStdOut().writer();
try stdout.print("hi!\n", .{});
return 0;
}

...using the following compiler flags:

zig build-exe main.zig -target x86_64-linux -O Debug
#=> 965k

zig build-exe main.zig -target x86_64-linux -O ReleaseSafe
#=> 788k

zig build-exe main.zig -target x86_64-linux -O ReleaseFast
#=> 695k

zig build-exe main.zig -target x86_64-linux -O ReleaseSmall
#=> 9k

Zig with "-O ReleaseSmall" optimizations creates a 9k binary, putting it at 5th place on OP's chart.
I think the response here shows both your lack of seriousness and experience here. And a note of elitest bitterness.

I was an snr leader, not the talent. I am freely admitting where the value came from. Brilliant workers smarter than me.

I really question why you’d argue with that when it was ICs who did breakthrough work like transformers that are now fundamentally changing computing. What an arrogant and foolish perspective.

Information about nuclear weapons are kept obscure and I'm pretty sure the US government cares about security.

> So the question is would they bother invest in building charging stations to get the whole market.

I think that would depend on how the market evolves. Currently I believe they are content, as you say, just delivering to the homes and business (offices which provide charging to employees). If this market starts leaning towards solar and the charging station market becomes huge, I think it’d be trivial for these utilities to set up last mile charging stations, or perhaps create a subsidiary to do just that.
The entry requirements for those two lists are not the same, so you can't meaningfully compare the number of items on them.

The top post on the most well known Lemmy instance (Lemmy.ml) is an announcement from the server admin that Lemmy.ml is now running on a dedicated machine, with 6 cores and 32 gb ram.

Good for them, but this is supposed to be the Reddit replacement? A forum that was, until recently, just running on some guy’s computer? I know there are other instances but are there any serious ones?
Other than vote, what can the average person do to push back against what seems like a perpetual erosion of personal privacy. I know “literally 1984” is a meme, but it does feel like there are people in positions of power who would be ok with some of the big-brother policies. It is an awful feeling to feel helpless. Even if we do keep sliding deeper into the hole I’d like to go knowing I’d done everything I could to try and help.
