To be fair even the surveillance-obsessed UK offered a paper alternative to the vaccine passport scheme, although Partygate completely crippled the government's political capital for keeping rest…

This is pretty much the only thing stopping me from throwing my smartphone in the sea and never looking back, it's actually quite hard to avoid needing one to interact with society.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at Reddit HQ at the moment, also I wonder what it's like to be a dev on the Reddit app too? Don't get me wrong I'm not downplaying how poor the app…

This exact problem winds me up when it comes to sailing channels on YouTube, I get that most people just want to look at attractive people sailing about in exotic locations but I wish there was a way …

He allegedly spent his teenage years wandering around Glastonbury in England as well and we get plenty of UFO sightings!

Alexander Shulgin had it right I think: >The most compelling insight of that day was that this awesome recall had been brought about by a fraction of a gram of a white solid, but that in no way wha…

>If someone asked me an obscure sin, something that went unrecognized but was none the less heinous, I would say that attempting to inculcate the innocent with self-loathing, to saddle them with Or…

It's poor form to post ChatGPT especially when it's incorrect.

I find it good for things where I understand the concept but haven't got to grips with the syntax yet. From the point of view of avoiding googling through endless blog spam and SEO word salad it&…

I've lived in England all my life aside from several years in Wales and it's interesting how contrived the accent a lot of foreigners associate with us actually is. There's a lot of nat…

I like the BeeHaw instance, it's probably not everyone's cup of tea but the tone of the place is just so much more pleasant than Reddit has got over the last few years.

To be fair from what I understand he only posted the private conversation because Huffman was intentionally lying about him to a large audience and he was forced to defend himself. I'm not saying…

I think we need to start referring to Lemmy, Kbin, and presumably the dozen or so other 'ActivityPub with a Reddit-like interface' projects which will inevitably pop up collectively because …

I've recently got into old-school valve (tube) based electronics and it makes me wonder how much practical knowledge has been lost over the decades in that field or worse obscured by grifters try…

I wonder if the evolution of adblockers will be 'computer vision model figures out where the ads are, then propagates the timestamps to all subscribers to auto-skip them SponsorBlock style'?…

To the people who've been in this situation, what would you do in Huffman's shoes? From my fairly naïve perspective it looks like he's doing a pretty poor job managing this crisis but a…

Maybe the protest was so successful at driving traffic away from Reddit it looked like something was broken to their monitoring which tried to failover unsuccessfully? If that happened it might be the…

The Lemmy instance I’m on has also slowed to a crawl.

Anyone know where to get an invite? Sounds like something I'd quite like to participate in.

I still think Huffman’s decisions might yet end up a cautionary tale. Even if he brings in strikebreakers to moderate the closed subreddits the site will face a tidal wave of spam which isn’t going to…

Though perhaps an unwise comment to make while preparing for an IPO. Feels like a bit of a 'Ratner moment' if you ask me.
