Not zero, his current userbase would probably be amenable, but you're correct in that's a very small proportion of Reddit's total users. I don't see federated alternatives taking off after Mastodon/Twitter. Most peo

Next he'll chat up Marissa Meyer and ask how he can make his company as successful as Yahoo.

I'm pretty sure I remember how I take my coffee! I've never done that. Now you could argue that maybe I'm more likely to order a muffin alongside my coffee when I take splenda? Could be. I don't think so, but maybe.

by hendersoon 3y ago
Well, exactly right. I'm not choosing between putting a packet of splenda in my coffee or drinking it black. I'm choosing between a packet of splenda or two packets of sucrose. I'd find a study telling me which one of those i

It's likely true that most people just browse, don't login, and don't subscribe to subreddits they enjoy. Of course those people don't contribute to their site either, although they do see the advertisements. Anyway for

My main objection to PWAs is that I can't run an content blocker or other extensions inside of them. This renders them unacceptable to me. For example, one main use would be YouTube. Right now I use a separate Firefox profile on my sec

That is of course their right, but they way they went about it is really scummy. Third-party apps, and the user-contributed content they engendered, built Reddit. Without its users, Reddit has nothing, is nothing. Just another forum site. T

It's an entirely new category. When you're an Apple or Facebook, there isn't much further you can go with mobile phones or violating users' privacy respectively, so you need to explore new markets to expand. IMO AR is th

They priced the API for LLM training and killing third-party apps is just a great bonus. If they wanted to retain third-party apps while protecting their revenue stream they could have simply created a new free API including all the ads. Th

They say it's a wide beam. Is that a misinterpretation of the spectrum used or did they mean physically a wide beam, as opposed to a thin maser? That would be extremely inefficient compared to a pinpoint accurate defense, wouldn't

Graphics don't impact gameplay, but this game really does look flat-out bad on a full-sized TV or monitor. Using FSR1 upscaling the realtime shadows (required for dynamic time of day) all "crawl", like a constant flicker in a

Sugar is in lots of processed foods, not just Dr. Pepper. When the latest diet fad encouraged cutting fat, the brands turned to sugar. It's not just in food you think of as sweet-- check labels on yogurt, for example. It's often i

That's just a correlation. People with type 2 diabetes are overwhelmingly overweight. Perhaps they were trying to cut their calorie intake, that seems plausible to me. There's a pretty clear correlation to insulin resistance too.

My read is you're permitted to link to your site for payments now, which was not permitted before, but this decision didn't force Apple to allow external in-app payments. So it only really impacts companies selling external subscr

Right, it's hidden and has a warning prompt, and I expect Apple to do something similar. Probably with an even more ominous warning.

Apple has always been incorrect in their arguments. How do I know? Android allowed sideloading since day one and most people have never even considered sideloading. I've never seen any news articles about Android security incidents rel

Meta has always had a morale crisis, recently exacerbated by Cambridge Analytica and the like. People wanted to work there because of the money. Flat-out. Once the pay is equivalent to the rest of the industry and the extravagant perks are

In a development that will surely confuse nobody, the terminal emulator linked in this thread (kitty) is completely separate from another terminal named KiTTY. I assume there's some drama behind this. Anyway, this one is for Linux&#x2F

Looks very similar to Cloudflare Tunnels, except Tailscale goes out of their way to say web traffic only (CF had a bunch of shenanigans) and you don't need your own domain name. And you get all Tailscale's mesh network functiona

So there's an entire separate distribution now just to run "apt install flatpak"? I agree the packaging war is silly, it seems pretty clear flatpak is going to win, and snap has lots of problems, etc. I sympathize-- I just ca

That assumes there are no discounts to be had by partnering with large companies making switches, doesn't it? Wooting partnered with Gateron to build their Lekker hall-effect switches. I would be very surprised if their BOM for switche

I don't find the displays particularly interesting or useful on an entire keyboard. What is interesting is they're using hall effect (magnetic) sensors, which have a vastly longer life than normal mechanical switches. That isn&#

Certainly all that /could/ happen, but given developments so far it all seems just a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?

Elon just doesn't want to pay the Twilio bill. What they should have done is said SMS-based 2FA would be removed in 3 months, encouraged people to use token-based or physical 2FA with a couple reminders over that time, and left it at t

Yes, of course. Forcing monetization disincentivizes small developers from using it for vanity/fun non-profit or personal projects. Thing is, fun/personal projects are how people learn . You mess around with the Twitter API just

This is a discussion forum in which participants contribute their take on the issue at hand. That was my take, on-topic. Your response instead attacked another poster, which did not contribute to the discussion at all.
