SponsorBlock (alongside an ad blocker) is great for skipping ad reads plus a lot of other annoying bullshit.
Search engine quality in the United States is determined by 60-80 year olds who have only ever used Google to search for “lexisnexis.com”

You’re assuming too much of Americans. We exist in late-stage capitalism and are desperately trying to survive.
I used to be the second guy, and then realized the system I was working in. America can fuck itself (and it is), I’m off to Europe later this year.
Steve looks forward to the hell of interfacing with shareholders, which makes me giddy. Reddit is now a money machine and no longer a community. The enshitification is well underway.

And the Lord commanded, “Your cart ride to the infirmary shall be charged at 100 times the cost of service,” and it was so.
I just assumed it would be terrible because it’s a hard problem to solve generally, but like 98% of the time I don’t even realize it’s on (and it’s really easy to turn off). It’s seriously incredible.
Yeah, or batching changes and confirming receipt with a hash, or doing pull instead of push. From what I’ve been reading, the design seems a little janky.
Scalability does mean favoring monoliths because it costs money to scale and scaling here isn’t proportional to your instance’s users, it’s proportional to the size of the entire network.
60k users is today, not tomorrow. I’m thinking forward to 6000k users.
When the protocol favors monoliths, we’re right back to the Reddit problem
Interesting. Curious if you have a better understanding of ActivePub - do you happen to know if the protocol guarantees synchonicity and what mechanism guarantees it?
The implementation as far as I understand it is plain stupid. It prevents small instances from participating at any significant scale and seems happy to just drop data over the wire without reconciling. Seriously amateurish.
When you’re buying pre-diced onions in non-recyclable plastic, just admit to yourself that you’re not fit to be on this planet
Dark Reader is amazing. Not just a great idea, but incredible execution.
I’m out of the loop - what sub is this referring to?
So they’re not paying severance to employees they fire?
