As somehow who lost a close one to cancer, quit now and not later. The more you wait, the greater the chances you'll get cancer. Don't wait and regret it.

Firstly, it's a bit suspicious that your name is only a few minutes old. Secondly, I hope you live in a society that understands innocent before proven guilty, because all you're doing is insinuating to damage someone's reputation.

You haven't proven anything, that last name coincidence is nothing. These are different last names. You're damaging an individual's reputation without any substantial evidence.

Maybe I'm old school and in my late 30s, but I like linear games, they have good stories and aren't too long. But it helps that I'm a patient gamer, so I don't buy AAA titles at ridiculous prices.

For example, I bought Mafia Definitive Edition when it came out (one of the rare times I've done that, but it wasn't $70) and I thought it was well worth the money, even if the story is a bit shorter than modern standards.

I'm all about quality over quatity. Give me a good story every day, don't force me to do side quests that have nothing to do with the main story (I'm looking at you, Assassin's Creed).

Meh... For those who regret their decisions (please don't), a new account can easily be created. Karma is gamification, it is meaningless.

Worse. Paradoxically, it encourages piracy.

But what exactly is it for? To have superficial conversations about how tasty their food was? Then it won't work. All meaningful conversation is inherently political. We just need a good platform where parties can talk to each other with respect.

You know, I never thought of that. Those who are here are like refugees who ran away from insanity and wants to create a new world of normality.

This is what they alleged:

Twitter claims in the cease-and-desist that Meta has poached dozens of former employees in the past year, some of whom “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information” and “many” of whom have “improperly” kept Twitter documents or electronic devices.

“With that knowledge, Meta deliberately assigned these employees to develop, in a matter of months, Meta’s copycat “Threads” app with the specific intent that they use Twitter’s trade secrets and other intellectual property in order to accelerate the development of Meta’s competing app, in violation of both state and federal law as well as those employees’ ongoing obligations to Twitter,” the letter reads.

sigh, it's hopeless, it will not happen. Reddit is now looking to fill a "Senior Machine Learning Engineer, Ads Targeting" position (https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/5009252). Which means that it wants people to use its app so that it's machine learning algorithm can target ads to users and make money for its future investors.

We're talking about a capitalist platform. Reddit's whole purpose right now is to go public (IPO). Lemmy/Kbin are the only free platforms.

In one interview he said he was exhausted from this ordeal and that he just doesn't have the energy to rewrite Apollo to Lemmy.

[-] Mereo@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Woohoo! I hope a lot of FOSS project have their own Lemmy/Kbin instance. Reddit, a capitalist platform, is no place for them.

I have to say, well written article (too bad they only mentioned Beehaw and not Lemmin). Reddit cannot exist without user content and more importantly the moderators who do a hard job for free.

Without moderators, subreddits simply become a free for all, the far west.

From the Moderators:

Hi everyone,

The subreddit will be reopening on Monday 19th June, however there will be substantial rule changes. Reddit has made it abundantly clear that users, not moderators, are the true community leaders and owners of their respective subreddits. So, therefore, we will be changing the community rules to reflect this stance.

Going forward, the only subreddit specific rule is that any content you submit to r/iOS must be something you consider to be iOS related. That's it. It is what the users determine to be 'iOS' content, not us 'landlords' or 'landed gentry' - as spez would say.

Please be aware that the site-wide Reddit rules are still in place, and something we, and Reddit's Anti-Evil operations (AEO) will continue to enforce. For more detail on this, please read Reddit's content policy here.

To sum this up:

No harassment / bullying Respect privacy of others No sexual content of minors No impersonating in a misleading/deceptive manner. Label content correctly (NSFW or not?) No illegal content Do not break/interfere with the website

Reddit enforces these rules and we will be reporting users who break any of those rules to Reddit's AEO team, we encourage every user to report any content that breaks site-wide rules directly to Reddit as well.

You will be banned from this subreddit if you break any of Reddits site-wide rules.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below. We will be updating our rule-set to reflect these changes.

For those not aware of the ongoing issues with the reddit admins, and would like to know what the hell is going on, please see the below links to get you up to speed.

Looking at a company's career page can really reveal its long-term strategy. In this case, Reddit wants to leverage the extraction of wealth generated by its users. This career page caught my eye:

Ads prediction team is the central team to handle machine learning needs in the ads delivery pipeline. Some examples projects that the team own:

  • Improve our model through systematic model architecture engineering work including exploring different deep neural network architectures
  • Systematic feature engineering work to build power features from Reddit’s data with aggregation, embedding, content understanding techniques
  • Developing highly efficient retrieval ranking models with good balance between model performance and computation efficiency

As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer in the ads prediction team, you will research, formulate and execute on our mission to deliver the right ad to the right user under the right context with data and ML driven solutions. Source: https://boards.greenhouse.io/reddit/jobs/4820729

I think Reddit will go through with their API plans no matter what. They want to eliminate all third party apps so that their machine learning algorithm can target appropriate ads to users. They can only do that if users only use their app.
