This is about the most uniquely Oregon story I’ve ever read. And I mean that in the absolute best way.

Well now I 100% know who NOT to go to! Thanks for the heads-up!
Occupation. And wasn’t it a handy coincidence that the two countries we occupied, Afghanistan and Iraq, just happened to bookend Iran in the middle.
If the fediverse represents the soon-to-be-replaced web 2.0 of the past, what do you see replacing it and why do you think that will be incompatible with the fediverse apps?
I could see some block chain security/authentication features added to federated apps, and hopefully end-to-end encrypted DMs will be enabled by that same technology too. I’m just having a hard time imagining something “new” that will replace this completely.
There will probably be several TikTok-like entertainment platforms, likely filled with ad-friendly AI generated content that is 100% under corporate control and costs almost nothing to produce, but that type of platform attracts a different audience than what we have here.
Anyone could start a thread, but ideally a mod would create a stickied post so that it was easy to find over the course of the week.
Duckduckgo.com uses Bing as its back-end. Honestly I prefer both to Google anymore.
It’s hilarious that this assumes old.reddit.com will survive more than a year or two after IPO.
RIF just started returning error 429 as well. I sadly uninstalled it and then launched Jerboa instead.
I can’t help but notice how similar their phrasing is to Spez trying to justify why Reddit has yanked the rug out from under their third party app developers.
Firefox already has the Lemmy Link extension to do this. It seems to work pretty well from what I’ve seen.
How are you going to exchange cash for crypto in one hour?
Check out Ivanti Security Controls (née Shavlik Patch Manager) as well. Or PDQ Inventory/Deploy. Both are better options.
If he’d announced that they were going to force the app developers to share ad revenue or charge users a reasonable monthly fee for ad-free access and share that with Reddit, I think the backlash would have been far less.
But that’s not what Steve wants. He wants to get all the ad revenue AND be able to track user activity to sell to the data brokers/advertisers. This was never going to be a situation that we users found reasonable.
We’re entering a world where corporate media - be that music, television, movies, books, even political messaging - will soon be 99% algorithm driven. Train once, repeat ad infinitum. They already have an idea of how long it takes for public appetite to grow tired of the familiar and start craving new, and that will guide how often the algorithm should be re-trained. Meanwhile we, the consumers, will be kept fat and happy in our metaphorical pens being dished up a constant supply of delicious, processed food entertainment manipulation while they milk us for every dollar, minute, and vote that they can.
Open the image in a new browser window, then share the URL?
Edit: I just tried this out and I had the option to share image as soon as I opened it. I didn’t even need to send it to a new window and act on the URL.
Neither am I, friend. I still miss Windows 7 most of the time.
Technically Windows 11 is just a slightly re-skinned continuation of Windows 10. They just had to make it a new version so that they could add in the extra boot security requirements (plus they didn’t want to force the new skin on existing Win10 users immediately). But as long as you have a new enough machine then you can upgrade to WIn11 no problem if you want the new features. And if you like where you are, you can continue to use Win10 for another 2 years plus.
Just wait until they figure out how much more $$$$ they can make by putting all content behind microtransactions:
Imagine a world where, instead of grappling with complex tokens and crypto jargon, you have a digital wallet connected to your Web browser. This wallet would automatically handle microtransactions as you browse and consume content, creating a seamless and simplified experience, reminiscent of exchanging tokens at a funfair or arcade
This transition to the Great Paywall isn’t just about the monetization of content; it’s about balancing the scales and recognizing the value of content creators in the digital ecosystem. In the next chapter of the Web, users aren’t just passive consumers but active participants whose attention carries tangible value.
Do you remember how long ago the last few open registration periods were? I’ll try to keep my eyes open but it will help to know when to check more frequently. I use NZBGeek currently but OzNZB seems to be gone and I always prefer to have at least 2 for redundancy.
