I wonder how they will enforce this. If you can just open a private window to bypass it, it won't be very effective. Sure, they could do some fingerprinting, but I imagine avoiding false-positives would be very important, so I doubt they'd get very far with that.

Honestly, the only way I see is implementing a login wall, which I wouldn't put past them. And that's kinda scary. It would render so many links inaccessible to people without a Google account.

Or who knows, maybe they just want to make it more cumbersome and not completely prevent it, to get more people onto YouTube Premium, while the more determined people can continue adblocking because it's not worth fighting a small minority.

Oh my god this is awesome!! I wanted to make something like this for myself for a while but never got around to it, unfortunately.

Typomagical. I love serif fonts.

The thing is, I just really prefer the tree view of Lemmy/Kbin...

Yeah, but the reasoning in the post is that OpenAI has already profited from the data, and might have a better position to negotiate special access with them than smaller companies, thus reducing competition.

Yes, but the special thing here is that OpenAI, which has a lot of shared stakeholders with Reddit, has already trained their models on its data, so they might have an interest in turning it off for the other companies. Also, they might be in a better position to negotiate with Reddit for special access to the data than smaller companies.

It's a pretty wild theory, but interesting nontheless.

Interesting theory for what might have been another motivation behind the API changes. After all, Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) is a member of the Reddit board. What do you think?

edit: this is not my article by the way

Ugh, internet providers are annoying. Why is stuff like that even legal.

For situations like this I've had success with Shadowsocks, which you can combine with Wireguard, and run over Port 443, here's a guide.

You could also try if it's sufficient to just run vanilla Wireguard over port 443.

Edit: One issue you might run into with Shadowsocks is that combining it with Wireguard is not possible on mobile AFAIK.

huh, this is weird. one would think people would use separate machines / vms to test zero day exploits, not their main machines.

Let me know if you have other cool artists to listen to!

[–] ambystoma@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

ah yes, 100 gecs. at first I hated it, but after listening to it again a while later I started loving it. I can also recommend underscores, SOPHIE, Hyd, and Cecile Believe.

 

When somebody links to a post on some other instance you don't have an account on (or you find it on Google), and you want to comment, it's quite difficult to find the post on your instance. Post IDs seem to be local, so you can't just edit the URL.

Is there any good way to do this? If not, some sort of permalink system could be useful? Maybe it would be nice if you could look up posts by hash or something?
