You need to carry a passport if you're a tourist in Japan. Although I did forget once and nobody cared, it isn't guaranteed.

Carrying a passport is a legal requirement in many countries, especially common for tourists. But if I accidentally left it in my hotel? I don't think I would get arrested on the spot. Worst case they'd take me to the hotel so I c

Chances are there is more to the story here. We're getting third-hand information after all.

Anyone suggesting their -own- code as an example of the "most elegant codebase" is dubious. Practice some humility.

lemmy.ml might choose to censor or ban anti-China sentiment but other servers don't have to. They can do whatever they want. There are hundreds of servers to choose from - that's the whole point of a federated system! Besides, Red

You could well be right, as it sounds like the trust between the mods and admins is gone. The main mod of r/apple has quit at least.

Reddit is banking on the mods coming back and re-opening the subreddit to avoid being ousted. Mods who have put their heart and soul into a sub for years won't want to give it up so easily.

We're more sensitive about Reddit becoming an unusable mess for people like us. I don't care what happens to Reddit anymore, I'm going to Lemmy because it's the experience I wanted when I joined Reddit 12 years ago.

Quora is a shithole because you can earn money answering, so people who have no knowledge at all are putting together convincing articles (probably with ChatGPT). And the mixing of unrelated questions into the answer stream is extremely ann

Yeah, I could just meditate the entire day instead of doing anything. Why have desires at all?

Don't look at highly upvoted opinions. Look for barely upvoted opinions of everyday users and aggregate them.

I like my friends a lot but we don't always agree. With reddit I can read like 5 opinions of a game I want to play and I can instantly feel like "this person doesn't like it and their reasons are similar to things that I don&

Going outside is a great alternative to mindlessly consuming Reddit, but we're talking about researching opinions here. That's something that Reddit is actually good for.

Reddit's API change will not stop LLM training, it is far too easy to manually scrape the site. It only needs to be done once. The intention of the API change is to kill third-party app users who cannot be as effectively monetized as f

Yes. For anything from opinions of movies/games to DIY advice to nerdy stuff like the best watch to buy in a given price range or the best synthesiser. Or people's opinions on a particular episode of TV! Or basically any hobby. It

Just signed up and I quite like it. It feels like HN, it's smaller scale so not quite as addictive and I'm not spending as long browsing it. Which is a good thing.

Yeah but we're not talking about those ads, I'm using this ad as an example of why some people might be interested in such a job posting. They knew the risks.

We all know what survivor bias is. The risk/reward proposition is still attractive to some.

The people replying to this ad are now multi-millionaires/billionaires. If you want to work a reasonable amount of work you can do it at a normal company, and get a reasonable amount of money in return.

Not in 2015. After that heavy users switched to third party apps.

That was the path they took for the first 5-6 years, it didn't work. Tech savvy userbase with adblock and nobody bought Reddit Gold. Remember the monthly donation bar for their server costs? It never got close to filling. That was pre-
