For now. When the ramen noodles run out, how many will begrudgingly create a linkedin account and pretend to embrace AI while they fight for the remaining/dwindling job openings?

I wish they'd make new episodes for the AI age.

Likely because distributed platforms like lemmy/mastodon suffer from the "fiefdom" problem, plus siloed communities forming due to ideologically defined rules. https://www.noemamag.com/the-last-days-of-social-

So figure out what they did wrong. It's going to have to be more original than the easily subverted traditional "nonprofit" model.

It's unfalsifiable, therefore it isn't happening? Not very convincing for anyone who's engaged with these platforms where reactions happen seconds after your own clicks. Alternatively, ask yourself, would monied interests be

True, which is why you'd need well defined safeguards in place from the very beginning, with high visibility into the organization that you normally wouldn't find in a closed, for-profit business.

Yes, and it provides something for the X/twitter reactionaries to "react" to. rightward_ratchet++;

It's a bunch of siloed group think offered in a variety of flavors. Definitely not a monolith, though basic liberal types (who virtue signal as being more "left" than they really are) might be the most common user. Siloed gro

It's manufactured controlled opposition which is designed to look crazier than unchecked capitalism, and it's succeeding wildly at its mission. See: wsws.org as a longstanding external example

Seems like a strange thing to prioritize, and again, quite selectively.

You don't see these edits happening as regularly with other submissions, though. It's not like OP is running out of space in the HN title, either. How is "Incident with Actions" more user-friendly than including "Gi

I recently dug one out to use as a hardware shutdown timer to power off an rpi's PSU once it has presumably halted without having to resort to a dedicated MCU for the task.

It also seems like the HN mods want to downplay the GitHub outages. It's the second day in a row now where the main HN post about GitHub downtime has had "GitHub" edited out of the post title.

I'm glad we agree on the first point, and sorry if I misunderstood you on that. As for shadow banning, yes it is employed here on occasion, but I'm speaking strictly from my own experience with the site. I regularly take large ste

There are gradations between platforms, but I'd generally agree with you.
