On August 6, #nuclear energy startup Oklo hit a key milestone: the first startup of its “Groves” microreactor in Caldwell County, the heart of #Texas barbecue country. Concerns remain about whether their safety protocols are adequate. https://www.texasobserver.org/ai-boom-nuclear-energy-climate-change-texas-data-centers/

"Well," said Owl, "the customary procedure in such cases is as follows."

Reddit was always shitty from when
-
The only reason the jailbait sub came down was do to main stream media pressure - if you missed jailbait was a “SFW” sub for posting reveling photos of other people’s children to be gooned over. It was voted “Subreddit of the year” in 2008
-
the mod who ran jailbait was an ICON on reddit for years and he also modded dozens of other equally questionable subs
-
The insane redditor backlash to them banning FatPeopleHate sub - which for those who missed it was a sub dedicated to posting photos of overweight people without their knowledge so the internet could mock them. This was mostly made up of - yes you guessed it - mostly photos of fat women getting mocked.
-
Leaving up the BeatingWomen sub that is specifically for posting videos of women getting beat up for 10+ more years after jailbait came down.
-
leaving up the Creepshots sub, a sub dedicated to upskirt and down-shirt photos of unsuspecting women, for YEARS and only taking it down due to to it hitting the main stream news and forcing their hand. This sub was also modded by the Jailbait mod.
-
the RAMPANT sexism and racism as thinly veiled intellectualism that has gone on for DECADES
-
Ghislaine Maxwell was a moderator on worldnews
The API thing and forced logins is probably one of the least shitty things this site has done.

Enshittification started as soon as owners of popular sites realized they can’t keep everything free for long, they felt it was time to make money. And begin getting rid of content deemed hostile to advertisers and corporate sponsors.

Reddit admins repeatedly asked mods how to make like for them better. And then repeatedly ignored almost every single answer they got, rolling out features nobody wanted and taking away things people used. It was the years and years and years of putting in hours and hours of time working against the enshittification that made me tired, and then it was the stupid fucking over-reaching AI moderation that caused me to leave after my accounts started being banned for no good reason with appeals failing.
It took far too long for them to drive me away, as I know it did for a lot of others.

Lemmy is already struggling with many of the same issues as Reddit; poor and / or objectionable moderation or moderators, bots and bot activity, politically motivated disinformation, groupthink, brigading, and censorship.
Scale makes the problems more noticeable because it makes them happen more frequently but it doesn’t create the problems. It’s the same with Commercialization, it’s doesn’t create those problems it simply highlights them.
PSA: If you are going to express disapproval of a public figure, please don’t punch down at sex workers while doing so. Remember, they help channel resources from the rich back into oppressed communities, at substantial personal risk.
This post brought to you by checking the profile of someone who faved one of my posts and seeing derogatory descriptions of sex workers. Like, I agree that Elon Musk is an unstable fascist. But please don’t talk shit about sex workers, just focus on Elon Musk being an unstable fascist.
If you're a writer, but not a techie, do you like Markdown?
If so, what do you use to write your MD text?
Is any of it public? If so how do you get it on the web? Where do you store it? How much does it cost, if anything?
@davew Technically I'm both. I just don't write as often as I'd like because I feel like a hypocrite asking people to read my shit if I'm not reading regularly and have fucking crippling self esteem when I right something longer than a social media rant.
I like Markdown not necessarily for the syntax itself or technical end of it so much as the seemingly universal adoption and how it can even be intuitive when you're writing in plain text.
I wouldn't usually double-post a talk but The Rise of the Product Engineer has hit 400,000(!) views on YouTube. I'm quite proud of that milestone and the talk itself. https://youtu.be/kspZP5BgkEU

He tornat avui d’un viatge, programat abans de saber-se que hi hauria vaga. M’ha sobtat veure total normalitat a l’aeroport del Prat, botigues obertes etc. I encara més sorprenent, les maletes han sortit de seguida 😳
Tampoc cap problema per arribar a casa en cotxe des de l’aeroport. Potser no he notat cap mena de vaga perquè he aterrat a les 17:30?
@spla i venies de cap altre lloc d'Espanya? Cas positiu has trobat allà vaga?
I just boosted this but I watched all 3 Matrix movies recently and they hit in a way that they did not hit before the Tech Bros decided to sell us back our lives and call it AI.
