Doesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.

Is the word archive used in place of achieve? I’m not sure if there is a terminology issue that I don’t understand in this post…

what happens on the street is obviously of cultural importance
thunkingdeep · 3 months ago
Yeah? I saw a homeless guy shit into the storm drain the other day. I’ll send you the picture… since it’s so culturally important

The organizations/nation states/whatever who astroturf on reddit disagree with you. It definitely matters in shaping opinions. It's not as influential as tiktok of course, but that doesn't mean it's not influential.

By that measure, the benches on my local sidewalks are of cultural importance.

You can spew ads and shit wherever they’ll let you, doesn’t enrich the environment by default.

I get what you mean, but I’m still unconvinced of Reddit as a meaningful platform.

That is interesting given that reddit has gone from a cultural powerhouse to something most people talk about shamefully, if at all.
thunkingdeep · 3 months ago
The only people I’ve ever known who actually thought Reddit ever really mattered was people in the HN sphere. Anecdata, but still. In terms of value per minute spent, it’s the same tier of slop as TikTok or Instagram, and I think most ordinary people hold that same view.

Complete assclown behavior throughout. It would be one thing if this had been going for for a month or two, maybe a quarter or two… but ten years?! They’re clearly fucking you over out of either malice and/or incompetence, and by allowing it to go on, you’re politely enabling them to do this bad behavior to someone else’s business.

If you feed stray dogs, you end up with a neighborhood full of dogshit everywhere you step. Bill them; if they don’t pay, talk to an attorney.

> All that stuff in websites will be forgotten

Why are LLM scraper bots hammering websites globally, if websites will be forgotten?

thunkingdeep · 4 months ago
I would argue that’s a driver to my point. How many people are never going to visit the source website when Llama can give me a detailed summary of what I need in a few hundred milliseconds? I would consider that in the same category of forgotten. I could’ve been more clear in my other comment.

Is the friction of establishing trust via TLS on the way to consuming all the bandwidth?

One seriously wonders if the cost of zero trust will kill off the open internet, reducing us to walled gardens of SSH connections that can only be obtained by invitation.

We're falling far short of the vision of Sir Tim Berners-Lee, no?

Most people visit the same half dozen websites over and over anyways. Websites are eventually going to be an artifact of an old medium as we move to like cybernetics and AR glasses and brain implants and whatever else. All that stuff in websites will be forgotten

Not sure why this was flagged. It was an interesting read, thanks for sharing. My biggest concern with using Zig has been the breaking changes that you mentioned, but I have been pushing forward with it for personal projects because it just seems like people are able to work around them easily, like you mentioned.

All posts not fellating Rust are eventually flagged here. It’s not really a neutral venue for more academic conversations about PLT.

That hasn't been my experience with it, and I'm curious as to what usage pattern gets that result other than intentionally following accounts that post pornography. My account that follows and posts tech and general interest stuff gets tech stuff and politics in its discover feed. My account that posts bird photography and follows photographers gets photographs of animals and landscapes, and politics in its discover feed.

It's politics I can't avoid there, not pornography.

thunkingdeep · 4 months ago
I mostly discuss politics. I’ve talked about some technology stuff on there too, but it’s easily 95% politics.
