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.

Usually whenever I do that some angry commie helps me out.

He probably looks like the golden goose who fucked a Chinese spy, right now.

I should have guessed, but I honestly had no idea people in quantities thought the billionaire NVIDIA CEO who dresses like a shop in Caesar’s Palace and is making sure nobody can upgrade their gaming PC is a cool dude who we should defend enthusiastically on the internet.

As you read about how they arrested a Somali guy trying to get a green card in an attempt to flip him against Ilhan Omar, remember that they DID offer immigration benefits (in that case to genuine criminals) to go after Kilmar Abrego.

What if any process could handle SIGKILL?

An interesting question, and a detailed technical rundown of how to make this happen, which involved building a custom Linux kernel, of course.

I really, really enjoy the conclusion.

And you know? It turned out fine. Nothing exploded on my system. As I could predict, because this was otherwise impossible, nobody did it. The signal system was setup i

How do you get lunch after shutting down the city, including restaurants and supermarkets? You cook big pots of food. Here in a squatted plot turned into a green oasis since 2014 in densely populated El Raval and now the base for the local strike committee as well as weekly soup kitchens for the people of the street. These kind of sustained initiatives make the general strike possible. A saying comes to mind: "Never strike above your own ability to self-organize".

An Instagram-famous bus stop in St. Petersburg has lost its “Living My Best Life” inscription. A pro-war artist replaced it with decals depicting Russian drones and a Putin quote: “Russia’s borders do not end anywhere.”

@ifixcoinops I found Satisfactory to be a similar experience, with a different modality.
