I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion! The risk de-synchronization poses can probably be mitigated with automated local backups.

Thanks for the suggestion! By the looks of it, it seems to be a complete solution similar to Evernote, whereas I just need to figure out the 'syncing' part of things (I use Emacs for the rest).

I've contemplated this, but in general I'm not a big fan of hosting personal files on the cloud if it can be avoided. Maybe if I use rclone and encrypt it...?

I do use Git for source control-purposes, but this is the first time I hear of Syncthing. Would that allow for completely automated and frictionless syncing?
35.
by lb4r 3y ago
I've been doing the same for the past few years, but have yet to figure out a good way to sync things between my devices. Not that it bothers me too much, but sometimes I'd like to have that convenience.

I've found many good ones just from looking at games with high review score on MetaCritic. This is how I found Hollow Knight and Chained Echoes, for example. On a side note, it's quite astounding what just a handful of people, som

I'm just saying that what someone may perceive as rudeness, someone else may not, and vice versa. Social interaction and communication is a balance between many things, and if you don't take your potential for rudeness into consid

I'd say it's up to the individual whether they find something rude or not. It's not an objective truth, and it certainly varies between cultures. On top of that, different forms of communication have different conventions and

Although I actually (and REALLY) hope you are right, I think a purely non-profit alternative would be doomed to fail. And my argument for this is pretty simple: How often do non-profits out-compete for-profits? Sometimes, maybe, but rarely.

It also depends on how you interpret it. 22% of submissions, 38% of comments, 48% of authors, 43% of karma went dark.

To be honest, I am not all too familiar with all the pitfalls of VC funding, so I don't feel confident in either agreeing nor disagreeing with you. Either way, there are other ways to both raise and make money.

The difference here is that even though there is a loud minority, and I agree with your assessment of 'less than 1%" of actual Reddit visitors, almost half of Reddit is not accessible anymore. If there ever was an opportunity to c

I don't disagree with the difficulty of the task. I'm just saying that IF there would be an alternative, Apollo would probably be the best starting point, at least if one were going for fast scaling.

by lb4r 3y ago
I don't mean the usage of Apollo in particular, but my understanding from what I've read is that according to some metrics, almost 50% of Reddit have gone dark, partly in support of Apollo. It's already the unofficial alterna

Somewhat related, but I'd love for Apolloapp to break free from the Reddit API and simply become its own thing. It's backed by, depending on how you measure things, probably almost 50% of the Reddit community as it is. With some V

Interesting. I've personally found those changes very annoying as well (I've never used the mobile app though), but I never even observed a glimpse of some sort of public lust for boycott after those changes. From my perspective,

Isn't it all because of their plans to charge for their API?

So no fact-checking was done about their actual claims, only about who the people behind those claims actually are?

From my understanding of TLS and how governments are able to block sites (IP, DNS, SNI) it shouldn't under normal circumstances be possible for them to block specific articles. Maybe if they somehow could control the Certificate Author

You added the paragraph about regulation after I had written my comment to your initial post, so I was really only talking about what I initially quoted. The question about regulation is complex and something I personally have yet to make u

I think your comment more or less summarizes and combines Scott Alexander's 'Meditations on Moloch', and Yuval Noah Harari's 'Sapiens.' Humans were arguably the happiest as hunter-gatherers according to Harari

I think if you were referring to AI in its 'current form' all along, then most people will probably agree with you, myself included. But 20 years from now? I personally think it would be arrogant to dismiss the potential dangers.

So if there is no distinction, by your own words, can you take yourself seriously or not? That is, by your own words, both AI and the Internet either pose a risk or they both do not; 'there is no distinction.'

Are you saying that the internet at large could pose a 'legitimate risk to human life such that we would go extinct in the near future,' or do you disagree that AI, when used as a tool by humans, could pose such a risk?

I know of two solutions to this (but there should definitely be an 'official' way to do it): 1. Create a uBlock script that removes it. 1-minute example: chat.openai.com##:xpath(//nav[contains(@aria-label, "Chat his
