Good point. I wonder if there was a way to like auto-transcribe these voice/video comments and automatically embed them in the source code so you have like a written-out comment that people could read.

You’re assuming too much of Americans. We exist in late-stage capitalism and are desperately trying to survive.

I used to be the second guy, and then realized the system I was working in. America can fuck itself (and it is), I’m off to Europe later this year.

And the Lord commanded, “Your cart ride to the infirmary shall be charged at 100 times the cost of service,” and it was so.

I just assumed it would be terrible because it’s a hard problem to solve generally, but like 98% of the time I don’t even realize it’s on (and it’s really easy to turn off). It’s seriously incredible.

People don’t understand that the average programmer’s EQ is in the top decile because they’re forced to work through the stages of grief several thousand times a year

Dark Reader is amazing. Not just a great idea, but incredible execution.

Doing some reading + confirming with an instance owner, this is how it’s working now. You can click on the “Instances” link at the very bottom of the page to see who else your instance is connected to. An instance mirrors all content for all other instances its connected to.

It makes me sad that a site as big as Reddit is letting down so much of it’s userbase for a quick buck

Given that they had opportunities to actually monetize these apps (force displaying ads, charging a reasonable price for API access), it seems obvious that it’s a move toward wiping out the third-party ecosystem entirely instead of just trying to get compensated for it.

The backtracking to allow mod tools to continue operating (those that still add irreplaceable value to the platform) while refusing to negotiate with other apps further confirms that.
