@froztbyte i think it's simply trump not being sufficient to protect jensen any more
and once one affair comes out, the other ten do
@davidgerard @froztbyte we're still counting ballots and heads are already rolling. We havn't seen the full fallout of trumps fall from grace yet. It's just starting

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.
Size definitely played a role. It attracted bots, corporate, and political manipulation.

Hobbyists don’t talk about politics much, but if I meet someone with totally opposite views, I’ll hear them out if they have an interesting take. If it’s just emotions, I’ll move on. I’ve got the hang of this, but thanks!
CEOs are having affairs?
I'm too burnt out to have an affair.
You know what would be really hawt right now? If someone would come read a book next to me while I nap on the couch.
Fantasies, man. Fantasies.

@hllizi US Senator Josh Crawley has called for Christians to join him for an hour-long fast to pray for the country following what he sees as the terrible outcome of the US midterm elections.

@ramsey wow. Maybe it's meant as an incentive for God? Give us better election results and we might again spend more time not eating for your greater glory.
Weird thought.
I am building a codebase. I am getting *weird* errors. Multiple of them. Errors that don't quite make sense.
I believe I am building with C++17. Some of the errors would be less strange if I were targeting some other C++ standard.
Is there some way to get my code to "leak" the C++ standard? Something like
#error __cplusplus
That doesn't work. I *can* do this
#if __cplusplus == 201703L
#error Success
#endif
This errors success! But if it hadn't, I sure would be lost.

I dont think that emphasizing a community based on smugly pointing out the superiority of themselves over alternatives is the best way to counter that, though.
That community was not in any way a healthy community, due in large part to their status as a default community. It was less a way for people to commiserate and share philosophy and more a giant pissing contest to see who could shit on others the most.

I have a saved search on Seek and it surprises me that blockchain jobs still show up. Who is still funding this stuff, who is using it to make funding it worthwhile‽
Besides the intelligence debacle, besides the dishonesty and deceit and lack of integrity, this man has demonstrated his complete lack of judgement. If he's ousted from the company, he has only himself to blame. #Nvidia

Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll all fix that soon enough!
