Elon Musks make engineering orders of magnitude more difficult. Those poor Tesla neoslaves

So they’re not paying severance to employees they fire?

Search engine quality in the United States is determined by 60-80 year olds who have only ever used Google to search for “lexisnexis.com”

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.

Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash. From what I’ve been reading, the design seems a little janky.

When the protocol favors monoliths, we’re right back to the Reddit problem

Interesting. Curious if you have a better understanding of ActivePub - do you happen to know if the protocol guarantees synchonicity and what mechanism guarantees it?

The implementation as far as I understand it is plain stupid. It prevents small instances from participating at any significant scale and seems happy to just drop data over the wire without reconciling. Seriously amateurish.

Speaking as someone who has little familiarity with the situation in France aside from the basic facts, this reeks of blameshifting

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.

Gosh icq… this thread is making me tear up a little with nostalgia

Trillian!! That’s a chain of neurons that’s been dormant for about 15 years…

I guess it’s Lemmy’s turn to experience the eternal September effect. At least the “New Platform” is better resilient to greed this time. Long live Digg Reddit Lemmy!

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 just reinforces that.

It couldn’t. The enshittification has long since begun.
